For many of us, our fathers played a huge role in numerous aspects of our lives. In particular, for the purposes of our little community here, many of them helped to steer us in the direction of being fans of the Minnesota Vikings, something for which we all owe them a great deal of gratitude.

While there's a very good chance that many of you will be out and about doing various different activities on this Father's Day, please feel free to use this thread to share any Viking-related memories that you have of your dad. I'm sure that there are a lot of you out there that have great stories to share about that sort of thing.

From The Daily Norseman to all of the fathers out there, we hope that you have an outstanding Father's Day. Big shout out to my dad as well, who you may have seen posting around here occasionally as "GonzoDad," for the role he played in helping to make me who I am. . .after all, without him, this site probably wouldn't be here, and that would kind of suck, wouldn't it?

Again, Happy Father's Day, dads of Viking Nation!
