Purple People Eater II and III?[edit]

I have to question this article's inclusion of a second and third Purple People Eater squad. I realize they have a good pass rush and a solid D-line, but I have never heard any commentator, writer, announcer, etc. refer to any Vikings squad as the Purple People Eaters outside of their late 60s/early 70s squad. I watch a lot of football and I read a lot about it, but I have never seen a reference to their current D as the Purple People Eaters, so please include a source that has ever called their current D the Purple People Eaters. If no one refers to them as such it is just the editor's opinion that they should be called that and in that event the information should be deleted. I will wait to see if the article's main editors can find a source before I delete it.12.186.80.1 (talk) 19:22, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Retirement and Achievements[edit]

I'm gonna expand upon the retirement section, listing when each retired along with notable actions/events/whatever they did after retirement, including when Page and Eller were inducted into the Hall. I also thought I would add in a section of just their career accomplishments and final awards (ie NFL records, NFL firsts, etc.) Also clean up the header/intro to reflect these changes.
