Before going on their bye week – at 5-0 – Mike Zimmer wanted to remind his players not to become too… ah, I don’t know what the F he was trying to remind them but it’s pretty messed up. From the Star Tribune:
A couple of bloody plush toys still littered the locker room Friday as a reminder of the danger in the Vikings feeling too fat and happy.
Before dismissing his 5-0 team for the bye week, coach Mike Zimmer scattered stuffed animals of the feline variety throughout Winter Park. Their throats were slashed, with some of the white stuffing within seeping out, and were then splattered with red paint.
Hanging on the larger cat in the locker room was a sign that read “Fat Cats Get Slaughtered.”
Ah, coach, you feeling OK? Have you had thoughts of harming yourself or others? Coach? COACH NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Anyway, it didn’t work.
