I love Kluwe, not just for his social views, but for the fact he's a huge gamer nerd, but I think you might just have to let it go dude.

Interesting he would wait until now to say anything. Doesn't mesh at all with (the admittedly little) I've heard about Preifer. And what got him cut from the Raiders then?

In the article he states that his release was most likely related to his pay vs performance as well as the outspoken part. I don't particularly like the titles of the article because it doesn't reflect what he says.


Also, when you have the owner telling you to continue doing what you are doing, what the hell is the guy supposed to do?

Me personally, I think Kluwe was cut for his performance vs off-field drama they have to deal with. If Kluwe was the top punter in the NFL, a team may overlook the extra media attention. As it is, he's a average punter and wasn't worth dealing with the extra media headache and high pay.

Yeah, wow, Pfieffer is pretty dumb. He could easily have fired Kluwe for whatever reason if he didn't say all the crap he did to him. I mean, I would even be okay with the organization firing him openly for not liking his views and thinking it was against organizational principles, but no one should be treated that way in the work place.

Now, don't get me wrong, I do support Kluwe's views, and I do support free speech, but I feel that organizations have a right to espouse beliefs as well. So, I think organizations should be able to let people go for things they say publicly, because I would want to be able to let people go for outrageously bigoted public statements.

Yeah right. He was fired and they're just saying he's retired to show respect.

Just like the duck Dynasty BS, Kluwe is free to say what he wants, and his employer is free to let him go if they wish.

#Bears QB Jay Cutler’s contract: 7 years, $126 million with $54M guaranteed



Also, what the fuck is this world coming to when a average QB like Cutler gets a 7yr/126mil (54m guaranteed) contract??? Have the Bears lost their fucking minds? No way I'd pay that for him....lol At least Flacco can say....I won a Super Bowl.

That's the going rate for good Qb's. If you let him hit the market, you can best be assured that a team like Minnesota, Tampa or Tennessee are calling his agent. Like it or not Cutler has the talent that's going to command that type of contract. They liked what they saw from him and gave him the deal. They didn't have much of a choice IMO.

This should make some of you happy ....
