Minnesota Vikings vs. Miami Dolphins
The last slight reach I have in this NFL comparison piece goes between the Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins.
What do these two teams have in common? Well, water. Lots of it.
Yes, Minnesota is nowhere near the ocean. But the actual vikings had to cross the Atlantic to reach North America, and I can’t help but think they saw some dolphins somewhere along the way. I’m not too sure if it was too cold though. Any marine biologists out there?
Perhaps this bout actually involves dolphins helping those noble Norsemen in their epic journey to faraway lands than anything else.
Hey, that’s cool.
