What is Viking Player Benchwarmer Bob Lertzima famous for?

Answer 1

Bob Lertzima was a star defensive end for the New York Giants that came to the Minnesota Vikings along with Fran Tarkington in the late 1960's. Fran's only sin as a Giant was finishing 18 inches short of the NFL title that year in the final game of that season. The NY owner was so crestfallen he traded Fran back to the Vikings and totally changed his defensive line in trades to Minnesota and Los Angeles, as he greatly changed his teams members. Bob arrived at Minnesota in the unenviable position as a defensive end playing in the shadow of Carl Eller. also known as a member of, "The Purple People Eater's". For a full seven years Bob Letsima sat on the bench. Being a creative person he wrote an article that the St. Paul Dispatch published called the "Lertsima Report". Which became ultimately became, "Bob Lertsima's VIKING Report", also known as "The VIKING Report". His subscriptions increased with the addition of, "Bob Lertsima's PACKER Report" for this with cheese heads. In a playoff game against the Los angeles RAM's, Carl Eller asked to set out a series of Lawrence McCutchin's runs. Lersima FINALLY got a few plays! Bob StUFFED a speedy running back for 2 consecutive downs and and impressive yardage losses (McCutchin). On 3rd down Bob sacked the Rhodes scholar QB for the RAM's for a horrendous loss and the eventual Viking win. Carl Eller never again missed playing a down in his VIKING career. "Benchwarmer Bob" became the hero of the Twin Cities as newspapers, car dealerships, restaurants and all manner of promotions. Bob's winning countenance were shared with his smile and endearing moniker as, "Benchwarmer Bob" could sell ice to eskimo's after that game. "Benchwarmer Bob" became a pro football legend, thereafter.
