Vikings Announcer Celebrates Winning Field Goal, Then Realizes The Harsh Truth
Minnesota Vikings radio broadcaster Paul Allen screamed “It is goooood!” after Greg Joseph attempted a game-winning 37-yard field goal against the host Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
But it wasn’t good at all, soaring wide of the goal post. The Cardinals won, 34-33.
Listen below to hear Allen’s voice soar to jubilation, then plummet to dejection as he and analyst Pete Bercich walk back the original call. It’s heartbreaking ― unless, of course, you’re a Cardinals fan.
