If McNabb wants Kluwe's #5 jersey

by Joe_D on Jul 28, 2011 4:07 PM EDT

He's going to have to promote Kluwe's band lol!!!!

Donovan McNabb (notes), as you know, will be playing quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in 2011. Also, as you probably know, McNabb has been wearing the number five his whole career.

What you might not know, unless you really love punting, is that Vikings punter Chris Kluwe (notes) already wears number five for the Minnesota Vikings.

Is there a deal to be worked out that would get McNabb the number five? There is! As it happens, Chris Kluwe is a prolific tweeter, and posted this upon the news of McNabb heading north.

If McNabb wants #5, he’ll be promoting a punter’s rock band

Tripping Icarus is a progressive rock band in Minneapolis. Their bassist is Chris Kluwe.

You can visit their Facebook page here, and listen to some of their songs here. Rolling Stone said "they are to the Minneapolis rock scene what MouseRat is to Pawnee." OK, they didn't say that. I said that.

I admire Kluwe's creativity here. Punters generally don't get a lot of microphones shoved in their faces. If he wanted to be the subject of his own press conference, Chris Kluwe would have to, I don't know, take the snap and literally eat a leather football right there on the field of play. McNabb mentions that he has athlete's foot, and there are reporters camped outside his bathroom window.

I'm ready to name Chris Kluwe the second-best punting number-seller in NFL history. Jeff Feagles (notes) remains at the top of that list, having gotten Eli Manning (notes) to pay for a family vacation to Florida in exchange for the No. 10. He then later sold another number to Plaxico Burress (notes) for ... well, Plaxico may have shafted him on that deal.

I love Chris Kluwe. As much as a man can love a NFL punter who plays for another team. Which isn’t much, but still.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Come on Joe

You’re a regular, you’re a vet, you know you can’t just copy and paste without giving credit. For somebody who bashes people for being uneducated you certainly don’t seem to respect one of the primary pillars of education — don’t plagiarize.

Simply put, plagiarism is the use of another’s original words or ideas as though they were your own. Any time you borrow from an original source and do not give proper credit, you have committed plagiarism and violated U.S. copyright laws. (See our What is Plagiarism? page for more detailed information on plagiarism.)

Most cases of plagiarism are considered misdemeanors, punishable by fines of anywhere between $100 and $50,000 — and up to one year in jail.

Plagiarism can also be considered a felony under certain state and federal laws. For example, if a plagiarist copies and earns more than $2,500 from copyrighted material, he or she may face up to $250,000 in fines and up to ten years in jail.

Still the best number switch ever

In 1990, Phillies first baseman John Kruk wore No. 28. The following year, Mitch Williams arrived from the Cubs, where he had worn No. 28. The left-handed closer wanted to take it with him.
As Kruk related in 1993 on The Late Show with David Letterman, “I saw where Rickey Henderson gave a guy $25,000 for a number. Well, I got two cases of beer. So Mitch got No. 28 … because his wife had a bunch of jewelry with No. 28 on it. … The best part about it is he got divorced, he wears No. 99 and the two cases of beer are gone.”

there’s a bunch more stories of number switches here Actually an entertaining read.

I can see it now

Reporter: What do you attribute the inefficiency of the offense today?

McNabb: Well, I have to take some responsibility for that. We were constantly starting in bad field position and losing the game of field position. The shanked punt that gave the Bears the ball on our own 33 yard line, and the punt that went into the end zone instead of pinning them on their own 3 really hurt us today. I’m not saying someone should worry less about playing bass for Tripping Icarus, but you all saw the game today.

I'd love to have Kluwe as our punter.

Defensive player of the year for 2011 is...

Wild_Eagle!

Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.
