Either Kluwe Or Priefer Is A Liar
St. Paul Pioneer Presss ^ | January 3, 2014 | Bob Sansevere

Posted on 01/03/2014 7:01:28 AM PST by Colonel_Flagg

Among the distressing things to come out of Chris Kluwe’s blistering attack on three of his former bosses is this: Somebody is a liar.

Kluwe wrote a scathing piece Thursday for Deadspin.com in which he called Vikings general manager Rick Spielman and former head coach Leslie Frazier “cowards” and skewered special teams coordinator Mike Priefer, describing him as “a bigot.”

Kluwe is convinced he lost his punting job with the Vikings because he was outspoken in his support of gay marriage, and his vitriol toward Spielman, Frazier and Priefer come from that.

He really unloaded on Priefer, saying that “if there’s one thing I hope to achieve from sharing this story, it’s to make sure that Mike Priefer never holds a coaching position again in the NFL, and ideally never coaches at any level.”

Sounds like a real drama queen.

He is. And he won’t shut up, which only makes it worse.

I agree...the pattern is: the homo that yells the loudest is the liar! I haven’t seen other related stories though. If this guy is in fact lying, can he be sued for slander or libel?

I was a big Hogan’s Heroes fan...didn’t he get knifed by his homo lover or something?

He was beaten with a camera tripod. The guy who was tried and acquitted of the murder didn’t have any documented record of being gay, to my knowledge, nor did Crane.

Depends on who is doing the suing and if they can pass a 'public person' test, as I understand it.

actually, the fact that the Sodomite admits that his article was specifically meant to damage someone else’s career is the definition of “malicious intent”. Yes, he can be sued.

I think that’s what it might eventually take to shut some of these people down. The “Gaystapo” needs to be stopped.

I wonder if Deadspin is also liable as the people who provided him with the platform to make his statement?

This is what I think is funny. In this article, in which other players including Pro Bowl placekicker Blair Walsh support Priefer’s account, Kluwe is asked whether HE is considering a lawsuit.

Amazing. This guy is trying to destroy someone’s life and he’s being asked if HE is the victim.

The track record on this stuff says Kluwe is a liar. The NFL loves stats; this should end the argument.

I read yesterday that Kluwe’s last stats with the Vikings were virtually identical to the punter who replaced him. What it was, was a salary dump.

The Vikings can put this whole matter to be by simply naming Priefer the new head coach.

That would be interesting. But the owners aren't man enough to do that.

That's him, Zygi Wilf, on the left with Governor Goofy, Mark Dayton, on the right, breaking ground on the billion-dollar taxpayer fleecing called the new Vikings' stadium.

I believe the veteran's minimum salary at 8 years is nearly $800K, while a rookie's is less than half of that. First and foremost, this was a salary dump.

One must admit that it took management about half a nanosecond to make the decision. lol

No question about it. And the worst part is that Republicans helped, more than a little bit.

That’s true. After all, this ownership thinks spending money is for other people, primarily to give to them.

2 partners from a Big Shot (democrat-owned)local law firm just retained by the Vikequeens for an “independent review”.

Not keen on Magnuson. Although Tim Pawlenty appointed him to the Minnesota Supreme Court, he was on the canvassing board that somehow managed to find a ‘win’ for Stuart Smalley over Norm Coleman.
