Chris Doleman Gifts Hall of Fame Bust to Vikings MuseumEAGAN, Minn. — Chris Doleman sat for a moment and soaked in the image of his own face looking back at him.
“That boy is good looking,” Doleman quipped on Saturday at the Vikings Museum.
While some items on display are on loan from individuals, Doleman gifted his bronze Hall of Fame bust to the new museum’s collection through an incredible act of generosity.

Very Cool.

Does this mean that he has no bust at the HOF?

IIRC every induction 2 busts are made,  1 for the hall and 1 for the inductee.

Damn, he's getting his affairs in order.  I guess we knew this was coming.

Those were my thoughts.  My FIL is 10 months into a 6 month sentence and had been doing the same thing for months for the same thing....it's been really sad bit at the same time we are learning so much more about him and he has learned to cherish every day since he stopped the chemo and actually feels like living again.  Prayers once again for the Doleman family as they trudge bravely through these dark days.

Glioblastoma is usually a death sentence - 14 mos on average. Lost my best friend to that devil when he was only 56. 

Prayers to you guys Jimmy and the Dolemans too. 

Nice to see Chris up here blowing the Gjallehorn last home game.
