What if the vikings were OCEANS 11
G'day fellow vikings fans
Ive seen this done a number of times for Australian sporting teams so i thought it would be fun to apply this to the Vikings.
So what would it be like if the Vikings were in Oceans 11
Danny Ocean = Adrian Peterson


This choice was relativly easy, both the undisputed leaders of their teams and if something is going badly for one of these guys, in general all those around them will suffer (ala vs Detroit).
Rusty Ryan= Steve Hutchinson


Yes this may supirse some people but really it makes some good Aussie sense. For example in the movies Rusty holds the team togehter and gets all of Danny Oceans plans into gear. So how does this relate to hutch, well it's quite simple he is the main man on the vikings o line which springs AD free and keeps the Offense dirving.
Linus Caldwell= Chad Greenway


When you look at Linus you see a kid who loves what he does and wants to do anything humanly possible to help those around him and get the job done. Now who on the vikings team follows that idea, well it has to be Greenway, he's young loves what he does and will do anything to help the team win.
Turk Malloy= Jared Allen


All i should and am going to say is just check out the BEARDS. ( oh and their both crazy badasses)
Virgil Malloy= Kevin Willaims

Now I know this might be considerd a bit of a reach but follow my logic for a minute.
In the movie Virgil and Turk Malloy make the ultimate con team and have a hell of alot of fun in the process. Now does this not sound like Kevin and Jared creating the ultimate duo for wrecking havoc on opponents QBs, I damn well think so.
Basher Tarr = Bernard Berrian


Basher is the cheif of explosives and what other player could that be Besides BB (well probappbly Ap and JA but lets not get greedy and give them two roles) AVG around 20 yards a reception lsat year and a punt return for a TD. BB was indeed one explosive player.
Reuben Tishkoff = Ziggy Wilf
![]()

What more needs to said other than $$$$$$
Both pay the bills and don't we love them for that (just get a new stadium when i come out from Australia i wanna see football in the twin cities damnt. not the sprawl of LA)
Frank Catton = Pat Williams


Big physical and intimadating and could sacre any sane person to do whatever they wanted (really would you mess with either of them)
Saul Bloom = Ben Leber

![]()
Quitely go about their buisness while rarley making mistakes or endagering the team. Respected havily buy their teammates.
Livingston Dell = EJ Henderson


Yes very funny, but lets look beyond the obvius physical differances, Livingston is the technician of the team, and much could be said about EJ although he is an absolute bear (no pun intended) he plays MLB and really is the technician of the defense. ( and no disrespect EJ i love your style)
Yen = Antoine Winfield


Who said size was a porblem, both are asblosutly essential parts to their teams becasue of their size and who would want it any other way.
Tess Ocean = Percy Harvin


Who know's what the coamparison whould be here, but lets just say they both have the pootential to add a new dimension to their teams.
Terry Benedict = Brad Childress


The easist choice by far, Terry is a pain in the ass who just gets in the way of Danny Ocean, Now doesnt that sound like a certain coach whose team wins in spite of him rather than becasue of him.
Now thats my list
Feel free to reject who i placed and name any changes you would have made or who i unfairly left out
Skol vikings from Australia.

Alllrighty then!
I think that reverse toilet swirl thing does something to thinking patterns… :) j/k
Seriously… not bad. Except that instead of Frank Catton, I’d go with the gigantic bald-tattooed guy from the Ocean’s 11, “Bulldog”, for Phat Pat.
I’m thinking Caldwell should have been Allen, and the Malloys be the Williams wall. If you’re talking about passion for doing what he does, and doing it well, then it has to be Allen over Greenway. No offense to Greenway, but Allen thought his knee was blown out and wanted to go down in a blaze of glory, so he stayed in that Detroit game. Doesn’t get more passionate than that.
Onto the Malloys, the two are always working together. Yeah, Allen and Kevin create the pressure on the QB most of the time, but it’s Pat and Kevin who I think of when I imagine a brotherly duo on the team, and not just because their last names are the same.
LOL
Way too cool! Well, when you go to the Twins Cities someday, give me a holler, I’ll meet ya in my old home. Either that, or you can give me pointers when I visit Australia. Always have, and hopefully with things getting cheap cause ofthe economy, might be able to swing that in a year or two!

Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oy Oy Oy!
Now that was creative. I don’t necessarily agree with all of your picks there, but I give you major kudos for coming up with something so unique. Also, not one mention of That Guy. Well done! How cool is it that there are Vikes fans all the way over on other continents?

Well, there wasn’t a mention of That Guy, but then you had to go and ruin it by mentioning That Guy.
In AP I trust
Brett Favre should go die somwhere

Well done mate!
However, I am curious about one thing….how is it that you are Australian and an All Blacks rugby fan at the same time.
For those of you not familiar with the All Blacks and the Haka, check out the link below. This was a War Dance that the Maoris of New Zealand used to perform before a battle, to scare the enemy. Captain Cook was the first European to discover New Zealand and the Maoris. Funny fact: the Maoris ATE the native population out of existence and became the new natives. (so the tongue wagging at the end of the war dance means “we’re gonna eat you after we beat you” in the times of the warring Maoris.

Kia ora!
Cheers
Thanks for the support (and sorry about my spelling it’s always been pretty bad and I obviously should have proof read it)
Oh and the reason I go for the All Black rugby team is because the first game I ever saw live was NZ trouncing the wallabies in Wellington. Oh and im half NZ anyway
And I like to be different, most people who follow NFL in Aus go for the prestigious teams ala cowboys, Patriots, Giants or colts (except my best friend who ironically goes for the cheese brains) So when I say I go for the Vikings people just don’t understand why their the best team going around.
Heh
This guy has a silver tongue with golden words.
I was in Wellington the first time I watched rugby, in 1999. I was in a bar and watched the All Blacks beat up on England. Jonah Lomu was a monster of a player. It was awesome just watching him run over guys.
LOL haha
LOL its 3:00 AM and I just burst out laughing when I came across Zygi Wylf I laughed so hard good movie to
