How Vikings Punter Chris Kluwe Spends Part Of His Free Time

For some reason it seems like there have been a lot of stories involvng Minnesota Vikings players this offseason, both good and bad. There was Bryant McKinnie blowing $100,000 at a party, conerback Chris Cook brandishing guns in Virginia, the Williams wall and their legal fight and Adrian Peterson's slavery rant.

Punter Chris Kluwe spends his time as a bass guitaristin a rock band called tripping icarus. I'm not hip to rock music so I wouldn't know if this was good or bad. At least he's doing something that doesn't make the police blotter or out blowing money during a time when he should be saving.

Here's a sample of him playing with the band.

 

Chris Cook Arrested For Brandishing A Gun

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Chris Cook isn't doing a good job of using his time wisely during the NFL lockout.

According to a story at nationalfootballpost.com, Cook was arrested Saturday night in Lynchburg,Virginia after pulling a gun during a fight.

Now my logic says you don't pull a gun on anyone unless you're in immediate danger. I don't know the extent of the situation so I really couldn't say why he pulled it. My logic also says that if you're gonna pull a gun you better use it. Don't get me wrong because I don't advocate violence, but why get in trouble for brandishing a weapon and not use it, when the person you pulled it on may exact revenge.

We'll have to wait and see how the Vikings handle this and since the league can't contact players during the lockout we also have to see if something comes of this regarding Mr. Cook.

We know Roger Goodell doesn't play around when it comes to weapons offenses.
