Former Minnesota Vikings coach Bud Grant, who's already in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, is now an unofficial member of the Badass Hall of Fame. The 88-year-old Grant took the field for the coin toss Sunday before the Vikings-Seahawks playoff game in short sleeves. That would be fine, if the game were somehow played in Miami. But this was Minnesota and it was -6 degrees. You go, Coach. 

Grant later donned a jacket, but he already earned his tough-guy cred as far as we're concerned.

One last look at a true Viking who sneers at Viking weather.

Unfortunately, the Vikings' 10-9 defeat after kicker Blair Walsh missed a 27-yard field goal attempt in the waning seconds probably didn't warm the heart of the ol' coach.
