minnesota vikings retired numbers (answered)

[PackerAttack84]

What number was most recently retired by the Minnesota Vikings. Who wore this number and why did they retire it?

[Dr. Duran Duran]

I think it's Cris Carter's #80. Why? Because he's one of the greatest WR's to ever play the game. Somehow I feel I'm not right on this one, though...

[PackerAttack84]

Nope. Not Right. Think about why I asked you to say why.

[Dr. Duran Duran]

Damn, this is tough. I feel as though this may not be a person who played for the team. Hmm, well I asked a friend and he said Paul Krause, who's estrangement from the Vikings is well known, had his #22 retired.

[PackerAttack84]

Nope, here I'll give you a hint, he recently died at a young age.

[Lushcrush]

That would be Korey Stringer ...

[PackerAttack84]

You need to answer the full question for me to give you a point.

[Lushcrush]

Korey Stringer died from overheating on the practice field and they retired his number in memory of his contributions to the team.

[PackerAttack84]

And what # did he wear?

[Lushcrush]

Korey Stringer, number 77 ... gone but not forgotten.<br><br><span class=gensmall>Accepted as answer by PackerAttack84 on Wed Dec 29, 2004 11:28 am EST.</span>
