Episode Details

Bob Lee, the Minnesota Vikings’ unlikely dual-threat legend, passed away at 81—leaving behind a wild legacy that spans two Super Bowls. He was the team’s punter in their first Super Bowl win (IV) and later threw the final touchdown pass in another Super Bowl (XI). Drafted in the 17th round in 1968, he played 11 seasons across three teams, starting as a punter before becoming a gritty backup QB who stepped in for an injured Tarkenton, won 3 of 4 starts—including through a broken hand—and led the Vikings to a playoff upset in the infamous “Mud Bowl.” A true Viking icon, Lee proved his toughness and versatility time and again on the biggest stages.
