One story to add, when I was a kid, my dad had a Pro Football Almanac.  In the Almanac under the teams information, they had apparently published a phone number for marketing or something...Anyways, one of the most trouble I got in when I was a kid, was in 1982 during the first NFL strike, I called the number for the Minnesota Vikings and had a conversation with the whomever answered the phone about how the strike was stupid and they need to play and whatever.  I don't have first hand recollection, it was a story my dad told later on and when he realized who I was on the phone with...Apparently it was a pretty pricy long distance call..

I remember it being Viking Report before Viking Update. The first one I got had Joe Senser on the cover. But my God, if my Viking Report didn't come in the mail on Wednesdays, it would ruin my entire week.
