We had a chance to talk earlier today with Cris Carter, former Vikings great and Hall of Fame electee. Much of the Q&A will be in print and online tomorrow. But one question that might not make the final print cut -- what was his favorite game as a member of the Vikings? -- seemed like some good blog fodder.

Carter, as it turns out, answered the same way a lot of fans might:

"Maybe the Monday night game we played in Lambeau Field. That was a fun game, with the weather conditions, how we decided to still throw the ball, passing down the field, and winning at Lambeau on Monday Night, that was a great environment. I watched Randy [Moss] dominate, and Randall Cunningham too."

Carter, it should be noted, was no slouch in that game. Everyone remembers Moss going for 190 yards and two TDs, but Carter had eight catches for 119 yards as well.
