Kleinsasser Retiring at season end.

Sad but true, Jimmy is leaving the team at the end of the season. What more can you say about a guy like this? Classy, determined, professional, team player, dependable.......anyone want to add some more?

Kleinsasser for a long time was either the unstoppable force or the immovable object, I will let you people decide on which one. For me he was a favorite to watch as the man did anything the team asked of him, tolerated insane coaching staffs, and put up with ego's galore from some less than savory teammates over the years. The man was here for the highs and the lows and he never complained about it, instead he just went out and did his job on the field.

Off the field he represented the Vikings in a way that few professional athletes seem to do, if you had to make a list of the top 10 all around good people on the Vikings roster in the last 20 years I think people would be hard pressed to exclude him from that list.

Best Wishes to you in your retirement Jimmy, thanks for the memories and the pounding the rock , smash mouth style of play that you put on the field every day!!!!
