Must see TV for ANY Vikings fan. And it is "stop whatever you're doing and go watch it right now" TV if you were a Vikings fan in the 80s.
I knew I liked Randle, but now I just love the guy. What a fortuitous find. I stumbled upon this by chance this afternoon. Hopefully you all can find it somewhere (I caught it on NFLN). Here's a preview:

Re: John Randle: A Football Life
Yeah, I saw this a while back. While it didn't change my perception or opinion of John Randle as a player, it was interesting to see where he came from and where he got some of that almost limitless drive and energy that made him such a force to be reckoned with.
Randle is the Adam Thielen of defensive tackles.

Re: John Randle: A Football Life
One of my favorites for sure. Have many favorites from so many years.
I watched his episode when it 1st aired. My wife even watched it and shed some tears.
The guy played with such passion, and was one of the funniest talker on the field of all time. What a motor that man had.
And who can not love the old Chicken/ Favre Jersey commercial.
I just wanna die as a Super Bowl Champion Viking Fan!!
