Vikings HC Mike Zimmer shines in NFL Home Sweet Home spot
By Adam Carlson
Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer was a great addition to a ‘Home Sweet Home’ promotional video for the return of NFL football’s 2016 season.
The time before the start of the NFL season is always a fun thing. Not only do fans finally get some preseason action, but the NFL and other media outlets always have some wonderful things planned to promote their business.
This year is no different. In fact, the NFL used the classic song ‘Home Sweet Home’ by Motley Crue to celebrate their Football is Family campaign. The advertisement for the return of football featured several stars related to or playing in the NFL lip syncing or , including some faces from the National Football League.
In case you haven’t seen it, here is the video as featured on the NFL’s official YouTube channel:
The best part of the video is the appearance of head coach Mike Zimmer. At the 1:53, his demeanor and seeming disapproval of this entire video adds some great comedy to the video. It’s especially humorous for fans of the Minnesota Vikings, who know Zimmer is a no-nonsense kind of guy when it comes to football.
Other Minnesota Vikings players making an appearance in the ‘Home Sweet Home’ video are veteran linebacker Chad Greenway and starting tight end Kyle Rudolph, who appear along with the construction workers from U.S. Bank Stadium at the1:28 mark of the video.
