Prior to the yesterday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, it was former Navy SEAL Robert J. O'Neill (the guy who fired the kill shot on Osama bin Laden) who had the honor of sounding the gigantic horn. O'Neill promoted his appearance via Twitter a few hours before game time.
It’s almost time to blast the Gjallarhorn at the @Vikings game!— Robert J. O'Neill (@mchooyah) December 17, 2017
One Twitter user had a suggestion for O'Neill if any members of the either team knelt during the Star Spangled Banner.
If any of the punks decide to kneel for the Anthem run on down and punch 'em!— Happy Deplorable (@crawscia) December 17, 2017
O'Neill's response?
Not a single player on the @Vikings has knelt all year. That’s why we are here. https://t.co/LvQSOZAdhk— Robert J. O'Neill (@mchooyah) December 17, 2017
That and QB Teddy Bridgewater seeing his first live on-field action since his gruesome knee injury 15-1/2 months ago were my two favorite moments on a day the Vikings clinched the NFC North Division title with a 34-7 win!
