Read This, Be Smarter: Why the Vikings Malfunction

[pbmax]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Mike Lynn. Who makes Denny Green look like a humble and straight forward employee.

Negotiated [in 1979], the annuity has paid Lynn between $14 million and $20 million over the past 30 years, according to two people with direct knowledge of the contract who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss a confidential agreement.

Mike Lynn was the Team's GM. He was given this contract and put in charge of the Team's construction project as a payoff to keep him from agitating for a suburban open-air stadium. He later tried to take control of the team in the mid-80s. He failed. However, after new owners were in place, Lynn was sued for his actions (year is unclear) and still served as GM until Jan 1991.

We should invite him to Lambeau for the Viking games. Show him a good time. Show him on the JumboTron every five minutes.

Had a buddy in the dorms at UW who was from the Twin Cities when the Walker trade took place.

I thought it was a good idea. Bruce, stated that Lynn was a moron. Turns out that Bruce was right and wrong at the same time.......

The Packers should put Mike Lynn in the Packer Hall of Fame...

And Matt Millen, too.
