Minneapolis, MN – The Minnesota Vikings are writing a new chapter in their history books. This week, reports confirmed that franchise legend Randy Moss has officially purchased a stake in the team, returning home as a co-owner.

Few players in NFL history have embodied their city like Moss. With 15,292 career receiving yards, 156 receiving touchdowns, six Pro Bowls and four First-Team All-Pro honors, he turned the Vikings from NFC dark horse into a perennial contender and redefined the vertical passing game.

Moss’s bond with Minnesota was never just about football. Through long-running community work in the Twin Cities and youth initiatives, he championed opportunities for under-served families — a symbol of his “lead from the front” mentality that fans still cherish.

The Hall of Fame wide receiver was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018 and the Vikings Ring of Honor in 2017, sealing his place as the franchise’s most electrifying icon. Now, he returns not only as a hero of the past, but as an architect of the future.

Moss isn’t new to leadership off the field. In recent years, he has taken visible roles in media and business, contributing in marketing, strategy, and community engagement.

Those experiences now come back to Minneapolis, where he will work alongside owners Zygi and Mark Wilf to help reshape the Vikings’ identity. With the team sitting at 1–3 in the 2025 season, his arrival signals a cultural reset as much as a business move.

Fans on X and Facebook exploded with excitement, calling it a “new chapter in history” and a chance for Moss to lead the Vikings once again, this time from the boardroom instead of the huddle.

For Moss, the message is clear: whether in pads or in a suit, he’s still committed to Minnesota. And for Vikings fans, the thought of their greatest icon leading from the front again feels like destiny fulfilled.

Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Puni, whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller's , grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dominick that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Dominick lives and plays today.” Puni, a rookie out of Kansas, has steadily earned the 49ers’ trust along the offensive line, praised for his physicality in the run game and poise in protection. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years.” The 49ers have privately offered support and time for Puni and his family, ensuring he can process the loss away from team obligations. Teammates have rallied behind him, honoring his family’s resilience and service background. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to Fuller — under his nickname “Spidey” — continue to flood social media from military peers, skydivers, and fans nationwide. “He taught others to fly — now he’s flying higher than all of us,” one tribute read.
