Mike Zimmer has funny quote about being stiffed at McDonald’s
It’s been a rough week for Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer.
On Sunday, Zimmer’s Vikings suffered one of their worst home losses in history — a 38-7 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks. Following the loss, Zimmer spent time at the team facility trying to prepare for the Thursday game against the Arizona Cardinals. When he finally went home on Monday night, he headed to McDonald’s to pick up some grub. The only problem is he got stiffed on his order.
#Vikings Mike Zimmer: "I went to McDonalds on the way home … ordered 2 cheeseburgers and only got 1. That's the kind of week it's been.''

At least Zimmer has a great sense of humor about it:
Reporter to Zimmer: You didn't play the "Don't you know who I am?" card when you only got one cheeseburger?'' Zim: "That's why I got one.''

Despite the embarrassing loss to the Seahawks, the Vikings are still in good shape at 8-4. Thursday’s game is a big one, so Minnesota has a chance to turn it around then. The only upside if the Vikings lose is that we might get more awesome quotes from Zimmer, who tends to have quite a few of those.
