Very proud of my boy

And well you should be. We're all ( at least most of us) proud of him too. Great job pops

You have a lot to be proud of. That was a great read. Thanks for posting. 

Was going to share that as well.  Great article on a Viking fan favorite.

Wow.  That was a fantastic article...  it has to make you feel proud reading those quotes from other players and knowing how much respect they have for Brian.  But you probably already knew that.

He'll definitely be missed when his career is over...  not just for his play on the field, but his leadership in that locker room and his work off of it.

Be proud, Pops.  You've raised a great kid that's turned into a great man.

Brian Robison is a great Viking. I love players who are drafted and retire from the same team. I think that will be the case with Brian, albeit a year or two away. But lest anyone dismiss him as a "try-hard" locker-room player, I just want to remind everyone just what a FREAK Brian Robison was when he was drafted...

4.6 forty
40.5 vert
6.8 3-cone
121 broad

For a defensive end, those are INSANE numbers. 

Remember when some used to try and argue that Ray was the better DE?  What's he doing these days? 

Brian Robison is a credit to his family and to the Vikings.  you have every right to be proud Pops!  there is just no question that he is the heart of this team, and i hope  to see his number in the ring of honor someday.  
The article made me wonder, and not for the first time, has Brian given any consideration to coaching once he retires?  i think he’d be a natural.  Love to see him continue in purple.

Jimmy, as one Dad to another, you have every right to be proud of your kid.   I could expand on that, but the legacy speaks for itself.

Thanks for sharing Pops! Hope he goes out with a ring...It would only be fitting.

I think Brian will find his way into a mentoring role with Zimmer. I just get the feeling that Zimmer will keep him around in some capacity with his defense. That is if Brian wants to.

I would love to see Brian stick around with the team after he is done playing.  He’s been a great Viking, both on and off the field.

He's a good kid, must take after Mom.  :p

Professional tomato can...

You're probably right, Sticky. Lol As for coaching, i agree with you all. He would make a great coach. I've seen him coach others in shot put and discus and he is a very good coach and i know if he has coached the younger guys on the team he would definitely make a great coach.  That said, i don't think he'd want to coach because that would take time away from his family time. He has said before that he may want to coach high school, but only if he could make his own schedule. He's already had an offer from his high school to make that happen. I don't know for sure at this point. We'll just have to wait and see.

He's a great Viking on the field, but you can tell he's a great guy off.  Players love him as his "96 Questions" shows (BTW, that Diggs not dating anyone's sister was hilarious).

His leadership skills are so valuable, and that's just comes from being a hard working, smart vetern player.  Zim loves him too, you can tell.

Be proud, Pops, your son has accomphed so much, and is a great dude!

Awesome article. What can I say that others haven't already said? BRob is a class act both on & off the field. A credit to family, the NFL, & society. You & the Mrs. did great, Pops!

I think they could have renamed the article "Character". And although I did not see that word used anywhere in the story, that is exactly what it's about.
Pops, I'm proud for you. What a great article and testament to Brian's upbringing and character.

What a great article, Pops you and the Mrs. definitely raised him right and deserve to be extremely proud.  He will definitely be missed when his playing days are done.
