Paul Allen (sports commentator)

Paul Allen (sports commentator)

Paul Allen (Born January 6, 1966[1][2]) is a sports commentator who calls play-by-play for the Minnesota Vikings on KFAN. He is the voice of the Minnesota Vikings Radio Network and Canterbury Park. Allen previously called horse races at different locations throughout the United States until he came to Canterbury Park in Shakopee, Minnesota in 1995.[3] Allen was both criticized and praised by Viking fans for "ripping" into Brett Favre after he threw an interception in the 2009 NFC Championship game that ultimately kept them out of the Super Bowl.[4][5] He coined the phrase "Minneapolis Miracle" when the Vikings beat the Saints with a last play touchdown in the playoffs on January 14, 2018. Allen is known for his over the top and emotional calls, such as the aforementioned 2009 NFC Championship, the 2003 Vikings vs Cardinals Regular Season Finale, and The 2015 Wildcard Playoff game between the Vikings and the Seahawks.![6]
