Kicker Fred Cox, the Minnesota Vikings' all-time leading scorer and the inventor of the Nerf football, died Wednesday at the age of 80, the team announced.
Cox never missed a game in 15 seasons for the Vikings from 1963-77. He finished his career with 1,365 points and led the Vikings in scoring for 11 consecutive seasons. In addition to winning the final NFL Championship Game in 1969, he also went to four Super Bowls with the Vikings -- all losses.

"The weight was right," Cox told Vikings.com several years ago. "When you threw it, it flew like a football."
He and Mattox took their sample to Parker Brothers, which had produced the earlier round Nerf balls, and they loved it.

Rising Review Risin’ Maurice Daniel Good energy to start with. Risin’ has a bit of a bouncy quality, yet it still seems very chill and relaxing. There’s a lot going on production-wise with an assortment of percussion and hi-hats that compliments that chill essence with a bit of a frantic panic. There’s definitely a motivational ...
