Completely disagree. Preifer made comments about it during last season and implied that Kluwe's campaigning was impacting his performance (which Kluwe denies). As I said earlier in either this thread or the other (and I'd merge them if it wasn't for the poll), I do not think he was cut as any state...

You guys just dont get it do you? *shakes head in condescending fashion* Kluwe is FOR gay rights... FOR it. Thusly, everything he does or has happen to him is now now related to it, don't you see? This is the travesty of our time. The Vikings may as well start scheduling practices at the Westboro Ba...

I really don't get this issue. There is in existence as of writing this, NO evidence to support that Kluwe was let go of for his mouth. NONE. Not a little bit, not weak evidence but ZERO. Apart from the fact that he was let go in the same calendar year as when some of the things he said went public....

I assume the goal is to not disrupt classes and whatnot during the week. That may still leave room to schedule a Monday or Thursday night game in late December. I imagine the Vikings seldom host more than one of either in a given season. Classes are also preemptively not held several days a year th...

I've been hearing a few commenting about the poor protection. Is this really the case? I may be way off base but I thought the OL had its best year since, well, maybe since Brad Johnson was the QB? I have no way to prove this of course. Looking through the threads, the complaints about the OL were ...

I am all for London. I am of the mind that eventually the NFL will spread out globally to certain degree and every game the Vikings play over there is more exposure for that time.

Just read where the Gophers new Bank Stadium seats 51,000 thousand? I have an idea where the Vikes could up that seating capacity by 20,000 by moving south to Kinnick Stadium :rock: For the two years while waiting for our new home to be built, that would be great for the Iowa Viking fans :smilevike...

dead poet: I'm not saying that personally I believe that he's getting old for a punter/kicker. He's still RELATIVELY young for his position. But if you look at the Vikings, we've been having a youth movement for a few years now (ever since Favre left). This position shouldn't be made an exception. ...

Well the capacity difference is only just under 15,000 so I don't think there are going to be any season ticket holders left out in the cold, given that there are not 50k season ticket holders to start with.

I fully expect it. At the end of this season I think the Vikings will have too much invested in Ponder, as well as feeling that they're too far into their rebuilding phase to draft a new QB and start all over at the most critical position on the team. So, whatever happens, the Vikings will put a po...

To be clear; if it were to come out that he was fired due to what he was saying off the field I would be disgusted and disappointed in the Vikings organization. That would be in my opinion, bad. But also not wrong. There is no problem with a private "company" firing an "employee"...

If you can ask that question with a straight face, then we have very different views of the world. Its possible, but I would probably just say this is a case of differing views of what an employer in a high exposure fan based job market can expect of their employees. To try and make this into some ...

The cap space is minimal. $1M is less than 1% of the cap. Brzezinski is one of the best in the business at cap management, so while everything helps, it's just not that big a deal. My vote is yes, but to be clear, I'm not saying it's based on his opinions per se, but rather that he dares to have an...

This was all about the numbers. This is the way I look at it. Keep everything the same, and slightly improve his numbers last year to put him in a solid position, I would still not be shocked by this move from the vikings. Its a sound move financially and improvement potential wise. That said, Kluwe...

As do we all. Regardless of our political views I don't think anyone would be happy if the front office was deciding who was on the field by how far left or right then leaned politically. NO one wants that, and those of us that don't think Kluwe was let go for non footballs reason aren't just buryin...
