...Vikings are currently being led by football's happiest reclamation project, Randall Cunningham, who found God--and receivers who can fly like angels. Having been cut by the Philadelphia Eagles, Cunningham was retired, tending to his marble business, when Green signed him last year as a backup to starter Brad Johnson.

Years later, with the creation of the Doughboy, Burnett employed a cuddly endomorph to symbolize the friendly bounce of Pillsbury home-baking products. Aiming at male audiences in the '50s, a time when filter cigarettes were viewed as effeminate, Burnett introduced a tough and silent tattooed cowboy on horseback...
