Did You Ever Know That You're My Hero?

Okay, raise your hand if you want to hear Jared Allen sing Wind Beneath My Wings.

watches as pretty much everybody's hand goes up simultaneously

Alrighty, then, here you go!


And people wonder why we love this guy. NAILED IT!

That's not to discount the contributions of the other NFL teams and players in this commercial or anything like that, but this is the sort of thing we've come to expect from #69. Between the charity work and everything else the man has brought to the Minnesota Vikings and the Twin Cities as a whole, it's hard to believe that the Kansas City Chiefs left him go in the first place.

I'm not sure when they announce the post-season awards or anything like that, but we know that Allen is definitely in the running for the Defensive Player of the Year Award. Given what he was surrounded by on defense, I think he should win. But then, I'm biased.

This needed to be shared, though. Hope you all enjoy it!

Terrible singing all around...

But, not bad for a bunch of professional football players who likely have had little to no music education in their lives. Seriously funny though.

I was dying laughing

the second I saw Allen warming up… ’red leather, yellow leather. red leather, yellow leather." I KNEW it would be good stuff.

261 Daily Norseman readers and counting say I am a genius... the masses have spoke!

Of all those teams doing it....

… the only team that totally sucks is the Dolphins. I can’t believe that their singing is actually worse than their football skills. Surprising.

But... but...

it only showed JA singing the first stanza of the song. I thought it would show him singing the whole song. Oh, well, if he says he nailed it, I better not question it!

my mom HATES Jared

Due to the simple fact that he tears rodgers ass up more than bad Chinese food, but she thought it was hilarious

ell oh ell

My roommate is a Browns fan and he was laughing harder than me when he saw Jared Allen in this commercial yesterday, and I was cracking up.

Definitely the defensive player of the year after that last game run at the record.

ya boy, jgreeds
