Longtime Vikings mascot Ragnar dons cheesehead, upsets Randy Moss

Longtime Minnesota Vikings mascot Ragnar is still a little bitter after parting ways with the team in the offseason. In a video that aired during FOX NFL Kickoff before Week 17, he put on a Green Bay Packers cheesehead and chanted "Go Pack Go" as he retreated back into the woods.

Former Vikings wide receiver and FOX analyst Randy Moss did not approve of Ragnar's disloyalty.

Joe Juranitch played Ragnar from 1994-2014, but the Vikings did not bring him back for the 2015 season after failing to come to an agreement on the terms of a contract extension.

Although fans created a petition to bring back Ragnar, the beloved mascot was asking for $20,000 per home game after making $1,500 per game last year, according to Michael Rand of the Star-Tribune.
