Vikings' Zimmer jokes he'll join in 'duck, duck, goose' celebration
Mike Zimmer was just as baffled as the viewing audience when tight end Kyle Rudolph and the Minnesota Vikings' offensive line and receivers broke out in a game of "duck, duck, goose" after a touchdown on Monday night.
"I saw them sitting on their butts over there and I just asked, 'what the heck are they doing?'" Zimmer said at his Wednesday press conference. "I didn't know what was going on. I know I hadn't see them practice it."
The light-hearted moment even impressed Zimmer, a noted hard-ass.
"If we score a lot of touchdowns, I'll jump in with them," he said.
The Vikings' Twitter team referred to the game as "Duck, Duck, Gray Duck," something Zimmer doesn't have a problem with.
"I am in Minnesota, so I'll go with gray duck," he said. "I've never heard of that before but I am a Minnesotan - I've probably shot a gray duck."
