It depicts pain as a football fan so well, and he does such a good job with the immediate recovery so you gotta respect it. I loved his call even as a lions fan when he called the lions the “kittys” just cuz he was pissed and it was real af. Would get this dude a beer frfr
As a huge Packer fan in a Packers family loving in Minnesota as a kid I’ll never forget our house going crazy for the Arizona td giving the division to the Packers. My brother and I ran around the neighborhood.
I was just talking with my brother about this the other night, Paul Allen deserves to see a superbowl more then any of us Vikings fans for having to call so many heart breaking games 😭😩😂
PA on kfan is the biggest homer. Guy has no knowledge of sports outside of the Vikings and horses. Nothing like tuning in and listening to him talk about the Vikings secondary depth chart in the middle of March.
He's a HOF announcer period. They need a wing in Canton where he and his fellow great announcers can have their audios sent through earphones and NFL Fans, the hardcore ones, can lie down and just....listen :)
that's really an amazing addition to an already emotional call lol. As a fan of an AFC team, I have sympathy for the Vikings but I kinda want more heartbreak so we can get these incredible calls from Paul Allen.
Paul Allen has had one hilarious heartbreaking call in the 2003, 2009, 2015, and 2021 seasons. Given this pattern, I bet that he'll have another one in the 2027 season.
The Vikings will try a record long game winner, which will doink off the crossbar into the hands of a returner that the opposing team will have there, and he will run to about the 30, fumble, however it won't touch the ground, and will go right into another player on the returner's team for a TD.
I remember listening to that game on the radio, since local radio station WCCO carried Vikings games. The play by play guy was Dan Rowe. After Anderson missed the FG, Rowe sounded like he was in shock for the rest of the game after.
It went like this. Good snap, good hold, and he missed it. He tried his darndest but sometimes that happens in football. I hope Anderson doesn’t blame himself because it’s just a game.
“But why do even ponder passing, I mean YOU CAN TAKE A KNEE AND TRY A 56 YARD FIELD GOAL! THIS IS NOT DETROIT MAN, THIS IS THE SUPER BOWL!” 1:20 PAUL WAS HEATED ☠️☠️☠️
The Saints game was more heartbreaking because of what was at stake, but losing to the Cardinals in 03 might be the most Vikings moment ever when you consider 1) they started the season 6-0 2) a loss by GB OR SEA would have gotten them in the playoffs (go figure, they both win) 3) the Vikings were up 11 points with 1:55 left 4) he only scored because the “force out” rule was in effect
Paul Allen's "Are you kidding me?!" is historical honestly. Nowadays its a lot of "Are you kidding me with that catch JJ?!" I quote that line at least once a game.
Watching the Vikes-Saints game at a local sports bar/restaurant, I recall all to well that sensation of my heart sinking as the Super Bowl hopes for the Vikes were passed into the hands of Tracy Porter back in 2010. But that Paul Allen call from the Cardinals "NOOOOOO!!!!" game is not only absolutely funny and tragic (as a Vikings fan), but is borderline legendary. I showed that clip to some of my co-workers here in Georgia and they just can't help laughing. Some of the people I talk with can't stand Paul Allen because "he's such a homer". My take is that he calls Vikings games as a passionate fan would call games.
I feel you! it’s better than some national calls. the local guys at home, it just makes you feel like they’re right there in your room with you as a fan. call it like the fans see it. they’re there with you when you’re winning, and they’re excited with you, they feel the pain when you lose, they get pissed off when horrible calls get made, it’s just that you can feel it. they can call it being a homer if they want, but it’s nothing like a commentator with passion to get you through.
@@stevekoenig3684 - I think local play-by-play callers SHOULD be allowed to be emotional and get mad when their team blows it. Makes the broadcast more fun. My coworker showed me this Harrelson call...love the slow burn anger displayed by Ken here: ua-cam.com/video/KfFrHM8uP9g/v-deo.html
I wish there was video of Doug Brien's 2nd missed extra point against Buffalo PA: "The kick is up... It's no good again!" Joe Senser: "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" PA: "Doug Brien misses his 2nd extra point of the game and the Vikings only lead by 3!" Joe Senser: "COME ON!"
I was at that game, so I'd never heard that call. I was in high school and was there with two friends. We were at the players exit with a big crowd looking for autographs. Doug Brien and his wife walked out and my buddy said, "Hey guys, let's go kick some extra points!" Some of the crowd laughed, some booed, Doug Brien didn't flinch, but his WIFE shot us daggers.
I am an evil sadist. I could watch this for hours if there was enough footage. More painful losses for the Vikings please! This man processing losses is pure comedy.
Get us the entire late 4th quarter and overtime sequence from yesterday's Vikings-Bills game now! I want to hear Paul Allen's pure rage permeating from every pore in his face and his brain exploding into little bits!
The Vikings have broken this man over the decades...It is time for him to call at least 1 year for a team that is a superbowl winner before he leaves this veil of tears.
This man heartache is amazing 😂😊 that Arizona call was perfect! He had to finish none biased the job then with the touchdown !! The the Nooooo! Was so funny
I don’t understand why people think radio announcers, who broadcast specifically for that team’s audience, need to be neutral. I would vomit listening to someone for my home team that didn’t cater to that specific team’s audience.
BIggest Dbag in the history of commentating. I love listening to his heart break. I listened to the missed FG against Seattle in the car. Soooooooo funny. Then watched the Packers win the afternoon game lolzzzzz
Dude anytime Minnesota plays in Arizona the vikes always lose a heartbreaker. Anytime the Arizona plays on Minnesota the cards get their ass kicked haha The best was like 2015 i think. Palmer v Bridgewater
These are awesome No wonder how many people that are in the comment section aren't fans though cuz these are fantastic for negatives but my god does this man give you goosebumps when he calls plays for your team I turn the TV on mute if I want to watch it there's a delay I don't care he is the best and he gives so many Goosebumps dude it's amazing... The whole "he's loose!" Bit that he started with Peterson... Look up those calls oh my God... Goosebumps already
"CAUUUGHT!! TOUCHDOOOOOWN!!! NOOOOOO!!!!"
Such an absolute classic call.
“THE CARDINALS HAVE KNOCKED THE VIKINGS OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS!”
It depicts pain as a football fan so well, and he does such a good job with the immediate recovery so you gotta respect it. I loved his call even as a lions fan when he called the lions the “kittys” just cuz he was pissed and it was real af. Would get this dude a beer frfr
He was new then and that call nearly got him fired. Thankfully cooler heads prevailed.
"I BELIEVE IT WAS CAUGHT BY NATE POOLE! .. HE'S BEING MUGGED BY HIS CARDINAL TEAMMATES! .. THERE ARE MINNESOTA VIKINGS, CRYING, ON THE FIELD!"
As a Vikings fan, I laughed at that one because I knew they were going to be one-and-done in the playoffs that year if they made it.
"THIS IS NOT DETROIT MAN THIS IS THE SUPERBOWL" might be the greatest line ever said on a call and im a packers fan
If this _was_ Detroit, they would go for it on 4th down when in field goal range and down by 3.
@@Empr4evrYep and if it was 4th and a country mile Dan would still fuckin go for it haha
I was at that game. One of the few moments in Saints history where we were on the lucky end.
Agreed and I'm a Lions fan!!
No, ill still take "the Lombardi is coming home" in 96
You - "My favorite announcer makes his teams' winning plays sound so exciting!"
Paul Allen - My life is pain.
I want to like this comment, but it's at 69 likes
Paul Allen screamed touchdown like Jimmy Neutron's dad screamed crabgrass.
He was excited and crushed all at the same time🤣
I watched that clip yesterday 😂😂😂
Lmao
imagine him on the Gary Anderson kick😭
I wanna hear it too.
He’s lucky he didn’t hear it he would have died on the spot
@kevinpayton2664
I don't think he was their announcer at the time.
I'm a Bears fan and I love this guy. Honestly you can't deny his passion. He's just hilarious when he's angry lol
Very nice. Let’s see Paul Allen’s calls.
1:52 And you made baby Jesus cry
A man of culture I see
Love listening to him on the radio. He makes even the most mundane play sound exciting.
I thrive on Viking misery
Paul Allen's pained calls just add icing on the cake 😈
As a huge Packer fan in a Packers family loving in Minnesota as a kid I’ll never forget our house going crazy for the Arizona td giving the division to the Packers. My brother and I ran around the neighborhood.
The best announcer for choking
Paul Allen has a plethora of calls that should be in every Green Bay Packers fans memorabilia. 😂😂😂😂😂
With some of the ridiculous losses the Vikings have had, Paul is the perfect man for this job 💀
Honestly one of the most iconic calls of all time.
Let's see Paul Allen's calls.
I was just talking with my brother about this the other night, Paul Allen deserves to see a superbowl more then any of us Vikings fans for having to call so many heart breaking games 😭😩😂
Why do you even ponder passing?
Even as an eagle fan first time I heard “U can take a KNEE..” I could not breathe 🤣🤣
1:22 lowkey throwing Detriot under the bus lol
Brett Favre throws ill-advised pass for interception that ultimately loses game.
Every Packer Fan watching this just nods their head.
Best video on UA-cam, but a mile.
THIS IS NOT DETROIT MAN THIS IS THE SUPER BOWL
Gotta include his commentary against the Colts in 2022
Paul Allen to funny
Impressive, very nice
You can have a good long career calling heart-breaking losses for the Vikings.
U think Paul Allan can hook me up with an 8:30 res at Dorsia?
Impressive.
Very nice.
Lets see Paul Allen's call
You like Huey Lewis and the News?
Don’t really watch the news brodie I’ll look into it tho
I like to dissect women, did you know I’m totally insane?
This guy is used to heartbreak lol
😂😂😂😂 nooooooo noooooooop
What was more painful. 2003 week 17 or the 2009 nfc championship game
2009 nfc championship game. I’m a Niners fan but that loss still burns Vikings fans to this day. As it should.
Who the hell would pick a regular season game over losing with the Superbowl on the line?
@@KHayes666 If the Vikings won 2003 Week 17 they would have made it to the playoffs and they blew an 11 point lead in the last few minutes
@John Shea Yeah great, how's that worse than losing the NFC title game?
I don’t know how Vikings fans do it
BUT WHY DO YOU EVEN PONDER PASSING I MEAN YOU CAN TAKE A KNEE AND TRY A 56 YARD FG THIS IS NOT DETROIT MAN THIS IS THE SUPERBOWL!! 😂😂😂😂
They also had a prime AP, why not just run the ball? Yeah it was 3rd and 15 but if he gets 5-6 yards it's a makeable field goal
PA on kfan is the biggest homer. Guy has no knowledge of sports outside of the Vikings and horses. Nothing like tuning in and listening to him talk about the Vikings secondary depth chart in the middle of March.
i don’t even say this to mock the vikings , but paul allen’s game-losing calls are HOF worthy
He's a HOF announcer period. They need a wing in Canton where he and his fellow great announcers can have their audios sent through earphones and NFL Fans, the hardcore ones, can lie down and just....listen :)
@@orangefox1231they don’t already have one? that’s a shame if they don’t. so many local and national announcers contribute to the game.
@@jbdixon4020 They have a plaque of names but no, sports leagues are extremely behind connecting fans with the voices of their team.

Fires into the end zone! CAUGHT!

Why do you even ponder passing? I mean you can take a knee and try a 56 yard field goal! This not Detroit man, this is the Superbowl!
I mean the Vikings would’ve missed. Clutch kicking isn’t exactly their strong suit
Best quoted comment by a local play-by-play commentator for an NFL team in the history of the game
That should go on Favre's tombstone
Then we get ponder
@@AD-ur1fk and a cooked McNabb (Eagles laughing AF)
Listening to Paul Allen is like listening to the painful inner thoughts of every single Viking fan consolidated into one human voice.
“There’s Minnesota Viking crying on the field “😂💀💀
that's really an amazing addition to an already emotional call lol. As a fan of an AFC team, I have sympathy for the Vikings but I kinda want more heartbreak so we can get these incredible calls from Paul Allen.
and vikings fans crying at home
Classic. Always has me pissing myself
😂
Babies. I haven’t cried to football since 1998. Even the 2009 saints game just made me laugh. 1998 killed my soul
There’s blood everywhere!
Paul Allen has had one hilarious heartbreaking call in the 2003, 2009, 2015, and 2021 seasons. Given this pattern, I bet that he'll have another one in the 2027 season.
If he hasn't had a heart attack from these Viking failures or retires because he's sick of watching them, that is.
The first three in that pattern literally ended the Vikings season. The last one didn't.
The Vikings will try a record long game winner, which will doink off the crossbar into the hands of a returner that the opposing team will have there, and he will run to about the 30, fumble, however it won't touch the ground, and will go right into another player on the returner's team for a TD.
Just commenting so I can come back in 3 years and confirm your call. We are a cursed franchise.
JJ…….INTERCEPTED! NOOO! WHY,GOD,WHY?
"No! The season can't end like this!!!!!"
--- Paul Allen with temporary amnesia.
Every single year are the same 😂
This man has been through too much pain lol
He’s the entire Vikings fan base personified.
Ever since he showed everyone his card...
We all have.
As a Cardinals fan this guy has had some of the best calls in our franchise’s history.
“CAAAAAUGHT!!! TOUCHDOWN!!!”
“NOOOOOOOOOO!!! NOOOOOOOO”
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Did he really get both feet down or was the push-out rule still in effect?
@@HotRoute7Push out rule was still in effect
The Cardinals have knocked the Vikings out of the playoffs!
I often ponder what Paul Allen's call of Gary Anderson's 1998 missed field goal would have sounded like.
Its UP!!!........ and he missed it........ but all quiet like and then he would give us a NOOOOO!!!! or some sort of golden comment lol
I remember listening to that game on the radio, since local radio station WCCO carried Vikings games. The play by play guy was Dan Rowe. After Anderson missed the FG, Rowe sounded like he was in shock for the rest of the game after.

They indeed live up to the name.
0:04 when your crush greets you with a hug and calls you “bro.”
How many Paul Allens have I left alive
I don't know
The Saints game was more heartbreaking because of what was at stake, but losing to the Cardinals in 03 might be the most Vikings moment ever when you consider
1) they started the season 6-0
2) a loss by GB OR SEA would have gotten them in the playoffs (go figure, they both win)
3) the Vikings were up 11 points with 1:55 left
4) he only scored because the “force out” rule was in effect
5) Vikings also lost to 4 different 4-12 teams in 2003 (Raiders, Chargers, Giants, Cardinals)
