Darren Sharper is sarcastic
Vikings safety Darren Sharper is flat-out awesome in this tongue-in-cheek quote about Mankato, MN (pop. 32,427), where the Vikings hold their training camp:
Well it’s always a pleasure to come down to such a beautiful place like Mankato. You get to see the nice scenery, the farms. When we were driving here, you get to smell the nice aroma of manure when you hit about 20 miles from Mankato… We get to check out a lot of the nice spots they have here, the nicer restaurants. Red Lobster, which is always a fine place to eat… We definitely get some culture down here. It’s a nice place, we always enjoy coming down here.
