Alan Page, man. Talk about success at every level. Only two defensive players have ever been named MVP. Page was the first. Just unheard of. And if that wasn't cool enough, he retired and became a what? An announcer? Oh yeah, a supreme court ****ing justice. And if that wasn't cool enough, he retired from the bench and started writing children's books with his daughter. Very impressive human.

He's on my own Viking Mt Rushmore for sure.
Bud/Tark/Randy/Page on mine.
88 is the only jersey remaining in the closet, and I'll be wearing it tomorrow for Vikes/Pack. Ive got a framed/signed CC jersey proudly hanging on my football wall. Thats it; 2 jerseys left as Ive whittled stuff down over the seasons. How much do u really need???
Ive been lucky enough to know Alan personally for a # of years now. I used to work with his wife Diane who was a focus group moderator - and a good one at that.
May she RIP, she left us too soon. He is blessed with a close family.
Dude has the most gnarled hands Ive ever seen, tough to see him get around these days.
All that said, he seems happy and fulfilled and that makes me glad for him.
What a life indeed...
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
