Sigh. That was sent to us today by @Schmalejandro on Twitter.
It's a set of nesting dolls from the 2009 Vikings.
There's Brett Favre, who couldn't duplicate his 2009 magic in 2010, ending his career on a hard hit on the frozen TCF turf.
There's Adrian Peterson, enough said with the recent news.
There's Chester Taylor, who found no real trouble upon leaving here after 2009, but whose career sputtered while the Vikings never really replaced what he offered as a third down back/receiver.
There's Percy Harvin, who forced his way out of Minnesota.
And there's Sidney Rice, a 2009 Pro Bowler who caught exactly 114 passes after that season between the Vikings and Seattle before retiring this past summer.
