DEVELOPING: Vikes Punter Says TCF is "Unplayable"

((HT: Star-Tribune, Zulgad))

Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe is sending a shot across the NFL's bow for scheduling the Monday night game with the Chicago Bears outdoors at a facility that, apparently once and for all, was nowhere near ready in the first place...

Via Kluwe's Twitter account... some samples:

"Serious time - All respect to the people that cleared the field and got it ready, you did an amazing job. That being said, it's unplayable. The field is as hard as concrete an hour and a half after they took the tarp off, and anyone that hits their head is getting a concussion. I find it interesting that the NFL can claim an emphasis on player safety, and then tell us the field is fine. It's beyond hypocritical. I can only hope, however unlikely, that no one gets catastrophically injured at the trainwreck that's about to take place tomorrow night."

Oops...

Here's the latest on the hurried renovation and heating as the Vikes held a practice and walk-through...

30,000 cubic yards of snow still gets you this...
Enjoy... and don't think for a minute that the Player's Association isn't going to watch this game with a magnifying glass, either...
