Jimmy Fallon does a bit on The Tonight Show where he hands out "superlatives" to people — more or less fake yearbook quotes. You might have seen it; I've caught it once or twice, but usually I'm far to cool already asleep.

Anyway, with the Vikings and Packers set to play on Sunday Night Football on NBC (synergy!), a few players from each squad got put through the process the other night.

They're fairly harmless — a little mean if you look at them one way, a little funny if you look at them another way.

All I know is Audie Cole might be getting relentlessly teased about it for the rest of the year. Here is the full video, featuring Cole, Shamar Stephen, Jeff Locke and Shaun Hill from the Vikings:

This isn’t so much about revisionist history as it is about acknowledging how quickly things can change.
