Chris Kluwe knew he was going to pay for wearing a makeshift "Vote Ray Guy" patch on his jersey on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of 1500 ESPN reports. The Minnesota Vikings' punter got the fine from the NFL on Wednesday -- the standard $5,250 for a first uniform violation. "I knew the potential consequences going in," Kluwe wrote on Twitter. "Don't cry for me Argentina." The Vikings wore patches on their jerseys on Sunday to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Upon learning the patch would be on his jersey, Kluwe got some athletic tape, covered the patch on his uniform and made a statement about the punter he believes should be in Canton. Kluwe acknowledged after the game that "(o)f course, I'm going to get fined. For me, it's hard to support a Hall of Fame that doesn't recognize punters." Source: The Redzone
Good for him. Living in KC between '73 and '78 I absolutely hated Ray Guy. The Chiefs had a punter by the name of Jerrel Wilson and the show those two would put on really brought punting into the limelight. Both went to Southern Mississippi and neither are in the Hall of Fame.100 proof bullcrap.
"My favorite part of the fine email from the NFL - they end it with "sincerely". It's the little touches that let you know they care"
