Part of SB Nation’s journey towards becoming one of the biggest media presences in sports has been their popular YouTube channel, Secret Base. One of the top series on the channel is called “Dorktown”, in which Jon Bois and Alex Rubenstein go over some of the most unique stories and statistics in sports.
Two years ago, the duo did a deep-dive into the history of the Atlanta Falcons, discussing the entire history of the franchise dating back to its inception back in 1966 over the course of seven episodes. In that series, they teased another series on the Minnesota Vikings, calling it a “story for another time.”
Well, it appears the time has come. Vox Media recently issued a press release, announcing that they will be doing a 7-part series on the history of the Vikings. The docu-series will premiere on August 1st. Here is a portion of what it had to say:
“The History of the Minnesota Vikings’ is a story for people who don’t watch football,” stated Bois, an executive producer at Secret Base who was called the “poet laureate of sports statistics” by The New York Times. “But if you are a football fan, and especially a Vikings fan, you’ll be just as amazed to witness all the pieces of this team’s history and identity come together.”
The Minnesota Vikings have one of the strangest histories in all of sports, so it makes sense that Bois and Rubenstein would eventually discuss the franchise. You can watch the trailer for the docu-series here, and if it is anything like those done on the Falcons and Seattle Mariners, it should be a fantastic watch.
Recently, Kirk Cousins has also been featured on a Netflix docu-series, Quarterback, so Vikings fans have plenty of content to watch over the next few weeks before the NFL season begins.
