LOOK OUT BELOW! TWO MORE VIKES EMPLOYEES GET WALKING PAPERS

          The Vikings' "office purge continued" Monday, as team
     Security Dir Stephen Rollins and Muffy Baron, the secretary
     of former team President/CEO Roger Headrick, "were fired in
     moves authorized by new president Gary Woods," according to
     Don Banks of the Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE.  Vikings
     VP/Administration & Team Operations Jeff Diamond "carried
     out the firings, which bring the team's total of forced
     resignations/firings to four in the five-day Red McCombs
     era."  Both Rollins and Baron said that Diamond told them
     they were being dismissed for their part in helping Headrick
     break into his old office Saturday after Woods authorized a
     change of locks late Friday.  Rollins: "I was in Carolina
     with the team.  So how did I do that?"  Baron: "It was
     because of my association with Roger.  They said it was for
     aiding and abetting Roger breaking into his office on
     Saturday.  It was totally unjustified" (STAR TRIBUNE, 8/25).
