Quote of the Day: Chris Kluwe
Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe appeared on The Colbert Report 1/8/13, and explained his job:
Stephen Colbert: You [Vikings] -- no offense -- got your lutefisk handed to you [by the Green Bay Packers].
Chris Kluwe: Yes. In my defense, though, I played well. Unfortunately, when I play well, that's usually a sign the team is not playing well.
Stephen Colbert: Right, because your job is to give the ball away.
Chris Kluwe: Right, right. I'm a professional surrender-er. I go out there -- they call on me and say, "Chris, go give the ball to the other team, but do it in a good way so we're not hurt too badly."
Stephen Colbert: Surrender in the least humiliating way.
Chris Kluwe: Exactly.
