Chris Kluwe Blasts Old Bosses In Minnesota

((HT: MyFoxTwinCities))

Including calling his old boss, Leslie Frazier, a "coward" and his special teams coach a "bigot."

As you all know, now-former NFL punter Chris Kluwe has never been afraid to speak his mind and tell people what he thinks in his highly-thought out opinions especially on topics like gays in the NFL and same-sex marriage...

Example below...
((HT: CNN))


He believes he was waived by the Vikings because of his beliefs (completely believable) and now has written a scorched-earth column in Deadpsin where he cites incidents:

One paragraph...

"It's my belief, based on everything that happened over the course of 2012, that I was fired by Mike Priefer, a bigot who didn't agree with the cause I was working for, and two cowards, Leslie Frazier and Rick Spielman, both of whom knew I was a good punter and would remain a good punter for the foreseeable future, as my numbers over my eight-year career had shown, but who lacked the fortitude to disagree with Mike Priefer on a touchy subject matter."

One of his goals is to make sure that Priefer, if what Kluwe relates is accurate, never coaches anywhere ever again...

Kluwe did say, however, that owner Zygi Wilf supported his thoughts even as Frazier apparently told him not to talk about politics in public...

But the HQ is all for beautifully, unique sparkleponies and it will be interesting to see where Kluwe and those he mentions come out in all this- even as it looks less and less like Kluwe will be employed as a punter in the NFL because of his beliefs...

Which is a shame...

Black Monday Begins: Frazier Out In Minnesota, Shanahan Out In DC

According to multiple media outlets, the first firing in the National Football League is...

Minnesota's Leslie Frazier...

After not having any kind of quarterbacking, and that includes Cassell, Freeman, and Ponder- even with Joe Webb at WR as a QB... It looks like the Wilf family wants a new look as they leave the Metrodome and head over to the University of Minnesota for two years, before their new barn is built.

Understandable, but disappointing...

We'll keep an eye on places like Detroit, Washington, and all points in between...
The folks from 1500ESPNTwinCities discuss after the game from yesterday...


0935 UPDATE: Mike Shanahan and his entire staff are out in DC. The dysfunction, as Brother J-Dub can attest, is finally over. There seemed to be too much of everything surrounding RG3 and his handling...

And, now, it's done... the loss to the Giants and Curtis Painter didn't help, either...

Here was the discussion yesterday as to who should be the new Redskins coach...
