RIP Joe Kapp - a throwback to an era where there was no "I" in team

[EMH]

Great Minnesota Vikings QB Joe Kapp died today at 85.

Joe is best remembered for refusing a team MVP award because the Vikings were "40 for 60(minutes)" meaning the roster back then was 40 players and NOBODY was an MVP because all 40 mattered.

That kind of inspiring team oriented attitude has declined with time. Let Joe Kapp one last time show us all that there is no I in TEAM....


Thanks Joe

RIP

I remember watching him. He was very tough. RIP.

I remember watching him. He was very tough. RIP.

Has my vote for toughest quarterback ever - at least since I've been following football @1968.

He was a team player but not an elite QB.

He was a team player but not an elite QB.

He was a gritty tough football player not an overpaid knee-taking ungrateful primo donna

He couldn't even throw a spiral.

He couldn't even throw a spiral.

Sometimes thats true

Some of his passes looked awful

But he was a playmaker who was respected by his peers

Only QB in NFL history to take his teams to the Rose Bowl, the Super Bowl, and the Grey Cup.

He lost in the Super Bowl.

He lost in the Super Bowl.

I know he lost SB IV, and I don't know if he won those other games.

What I remember about Joe Kapp is that fist fight he got into with (I think it was) Weeb Ubanks. They were both into their 70's and on some stage receiving an award when Weeb hit Kapp with his cane and Kapp just put one across Weeb's jaw!

A throwback to the days when you scored and handed the ball to an official, rather than prancing around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots.

 

[Nate99]

One of only eight QBs to throw for seven touchdowns in a single game.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

He played four seasons and gave his all to the team.

He was a good runner for a QB.

He would take the supposedly toughest MAGA turd here and turn him into a post hole digger.
