vikings team plane

The Minnesota Vikings became stranded on their team plane Friday night after it skidded off the runway. Most people probably would have been distressed by this situation, but the players seemed to take it about as well as they could have.

In fact, you’ve probably never seen a group of grown men more excited than the Vikings were when they were rescued by a fire truck. It makes you wonder what they were doing in their several hours stuck on the plane (and whether those mini bottles of alcohol they serve on planes were involved at all).

Seriously, these guys play football in front of thousands of people every week, but they treated riding in a fire truck lift as the coolest thing ever.

Overall, everyone seemed to have a blast.

Well, maybe except for Cordarrelle Patterson…
