Vikings Fan Named Director of Fandemonium
We take a moment away from the Brett Favre saga to take a look at a guy whose loyalty is in no way, shape, or form in question.
If you think back to the draft a couple of weeks ago, you'll remember that about halfway through the second round, a guy rocking a Jim Kleinsasser jersey (North Dakota represent!) was allowed to stride to the podium and announce that the Beloved Purple had selected OT Phil Loadholt with their second-round selection.
Well, that man's name is Onyx Herrera (no relation to Anthony. . .as far as I know), and he was named Monster.com's Director of Fandemonium for this season. Mr. Herrera was selected from over 300,000 NFL fans that applied for the position. He was fortunate enough to not only be able to announce the Vikings' second round pick (which you can see again right here, in case you missed it the first time), but he also got to interview folks outside of Radio City Music Hall and generally just have a great time at the 2009 NFL Draft.
We at the Daily Norseman would like to offer our belated congratulations to Mr. Herrera, and we know that he'll represent not only Viking fans, but NFL fans in general in an outstanding manner

Are you from North Dakota? If so, you’re my new favorite blogger.
Although maybe not, I like being known as the North Dakotan :)

Mind, blown
As you can tell from my gravatar, I’m a Sioux. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that there’s a North Dakotan seeing as this is a Vikings blog, but it’s still cool

Aloha from the Director of Fandemonium!
Hello Gonzo and fellow Vikes fans!
Thank you for that nice write-up! You just don’t realize the abuse we tropical Norsemen receive out here in the Big Pineapple for being fans of the greatest football team of all time! Now I get to show everyone what it means to be a football fan and I get to do it Minnesota style! Watch for me around the Metrodome later this year as I am looking to move to the area and searching Monster.com for a job outside of my being the DOF! I just gotta be close to my team! I’ll do my best to make the Purple Nation proud that one of theirs gets to represent the NFL! I’ll posting comments from time to time and you can watch me on NFL.MONSTER.COM as more webisodes are on the way!
Aloha from Hawaii…Onyx, 1st NFL Director of Fandemonium and Vikes fan!
PS
No relation to Anthony (I wish) and…GO SIOUX and SKOL VIKINGS!!!
