Thanks for posting, I have so much to say about this.
Jon does such fantastic work, he really is the best sports content creator. In my book no one else is even close.
I do not care one bit for baseball, but his Mariners' series made me care. Next I found myself watching in breathless suspense every time Dave Stieb got close to pitching a no-hitter. This guy somehow even made me interested in athletes named Bob enough to watch two hours about them.
When he did one on the Falcons, I knew what was going to happen, anyone who watches the NFL did. It was that knowledge that made it a perfect tragedy. We all know what happens in that Superbowl, but after spending hours and hours of the series invested in the team, getting to know the players and coaches, experiencing that game hits different. I found myself cheering for the Falcons like I was a fan on that day, while knowing it would all come crashing down.
After the Falcons inevitably lost the Superbowl in humiliating fashion and the series finished, I couldn't help wanting him to give the Vikings the same treatment, but when a fan asked he shot it down, saying our history was "too heartbreaking" and maybe another time. A bit tongue in cheek, but I still had hope he'd do it eventually. But man, I had no idea the day would come so quickly!
Other than a Superbowl, this is the next best thing that could have happened to the Vikings' franchise. That's my honest opinion. If I could get any YouTube creator to do a video on anything I wanted, it would be Jon doing a Vikings documentary. And it will tide me over right up until the first NFL game! Just incredible.
