Like many GMs, he seems to be of the mistaken opinion that punters are a dime a dozen. After what Lechler did in Oakland, McKenzie should have been falling all over himself to get a contract with Lechler done.
Why Lechler didn't sign with St. Louis, I have no clue. A reunion with Fassel would have been epic....
He grew up in nearby East Bernard, played at Texas A&M and now lives in Richmond, his parents live in Sealy, a pair of grandparents live in Wharton, and his brother lives in Mont Belvieu.....it was a no brainer to head back to Houston at this point in his career and not St. Louis....He almost went to Houston in 09 but Davis locked him down with a 12 million dollar deal.
Shockingly SH doen't know what they's talking about yet again
Said the reigning league MVP: “To each his own. I’m not with it. But I have relatives that are gay. I’m not biased towards them. I still treat them the same. I love them. But again, I’m not with that. That’s not something I believe in. But to each his own.
“I’m sure the Vikings organization did not release him based on that. They know Kluwe. They’ve been knowing him for a long time. And they know he’s outspoken. But it hurt me to see him leave. He was a good friend of mine and a really cool guy, man. Probably one of the smartest guys I’ve ever been around, man. Different.”
Is it outrageous for Peterson to speak candidly on the gay marriage topic? No. Is it a bit dangerous, potentially stirring up an unwanted storm? Absolutely.
When the league MVP takes a controversial stance on a hot-button issue (especially in this day-and-age), we have to wonder what the reaction will be and how quickly his comments will spread.
We’d again encourage you to listen to Peterson’s entire SiriusXM NFL Radio interview. But don't be surprised if his seemingly small comment becomes a big deal pretty quickly.
The topic of acceptance and tolerance of gay athletes has been on the front burner recently, particularly after NBA big man Jason Collins came out last month, becoming the first pro athlete in any of the four major sports to reveal his homosexuality while still active.
