Jared Allen Roasts Jets: A Look At His Career And Hall Of Fame Journey

If you are a Minnesota Vikings fan, chances are you are familiar with former defensive standout Jared Allen. He has always been one of the most vocal AND funny guys in the locker room, and he seems to be the same guy even in retirement. Jared Allen, who was most recently selected to the NFL Hall of Fame, talked to the Minnesota media, and during that moment of speaking to the media here, he roasted the New York Jets. Check it out.

Jared Allen, who was a part of some PRETTY good Minnesota VIkings teams (see the Brett Favre 2009 season), was talking about coming close to the Super Bowl in his career a few times, and that's when he went nuclear on the Jets, all with a smile on his face. Watch this!

Allen says he would rather be close to winning a Super Bowl than be with a team that sucks, and then he asked aloud which NFL sucks right now, then said the Jets and continued to dog them, even going so far as to say he was surprised someone took the coaching job. (The Jets' Head Coach is Aaron Glenn, the former D Coordinator with Detroit.)
