This clinches it for me. They're gonna rally around this. We're getting taken behind the woodshed.

There is nothing back there we haven't seen before.

Another idiotic thing from this fan base

Zim was a good coach and did well with what he had to work with. I'll never understand the hate he got.

 

[ZekeandDestroy]

Nothing but well wishes to zim.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

I can hear it now, "do it for the eye man, do it for the eye".

 

[Doomsay]

Hope he has a successful surgery. Really scary.

 

[Alohawg1]

Could be a blessing in disguise for him, j/s.

 

[Bay10]

This is odd. This goes beyond football I hope the man is alright.

Nah, it's not like he's on his deathbed, just getting an eye operated on,,,, though I'm sure the team will try to make it a rallying cry.

I wish Zimm well. He was a big part of our 90's success. He needs to stay away from football tomorrow night. Football is just football. Eyesight is much more.....

GROM coming to message boards near you lol

i bet ppl will blame marinelli IF this defense goes to hell

Get well soon Zim. Hope all is well.

Hated what happened w/his wife as well. God Bless

 

[stilltheguru88]

Damn! I hope he's alright, now the Vikings are going to play their hearts out for their coach. We're screwed.

I'm hoping this is sarcasm

Get well soon Zim. Eyes are nothing to mess with.

This is no joke man. Back in 2010 I was exercising with one of those stretch bands and it slipped off of the mount and hit me right in both eyes. I instantly went blind. I had 3 eye surgeries in 4 days to save my sight. They saved my sight but my eyes are permanently damaged. I could care less about the damage and having to put in eye drops every day. I can see and I can still be independent. Going blind was the most horrible thing that has ever happened to me. It's been 6 years and I still have an occasional panic attack about it. You don't really know what you have until you lost it. I was blind for a month before I was able to start seeing again. It took about 3 months post op before I got back to normal vision. It was horrible, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

I'll be praying for the man, emotionally eyes are terrifying when they don't work and detached retina is as bad as it can get.

 

[Zordon]

I can't see him coaching tomorrow.

Thanks for posting this!

Yes, and its backers were and are stupid.

Best case for Zimmer and Minnesota is he sits upstairs and views game from booth. But i cant imagine him being cleared to coach from sidelines. More importantly, hopefully he gets well.

Wow, really sorry to hear you went through that dude. I can only imagine what you went through during that month...

Come on, this is Zim, he could have one eyeball handing out and he make the game. Guy is nails.
