    Hell the Vikings used him as a backup lineman in a pinch.

    I cross paths with him from time-to-time. His kids are of similar age to mine and sometimes play sports against each other. He seems like a pretty good guy.

    Edit... I forgot to chime in on the topic...

    I think from an long term impact...

    Vincent Jackson probably leads the list.
    The weather in Fargo keeps the undesirables out.....

    ...Which is why I live near the Twin Cities.

    Why not wear cleats that don't have so much traction on turf?

    It's OK to not be OK.

    He's sort of stating the obvious. I want to rip my eyeballs out when I see that red field.
    It would be quite the challenge to grow turf indoors. Do any domed fields do that?

    Kupp said all NFL games should be on natural grass and never mentioned the color. I don't see that as a viable option for teams that play in colder climates, share a stadium with other teams, or most indoor stadiums.

    Definitely not possible everywhere, but should be the standard for outdoor fields.
    And red, purple, blue or any other color is just garbage.
