The Jim Kleinsasser Infinite Playlist and Caption Contest

by Skol Girl on Jan 5, 2012 6:58 PM CST

There were a lot of great songs submitted the Track 9 challenge of the Ultimate Misery Mix 2011--choosing a good song to describe the un-showy, but quietly remarkable career of Jim Kleinsasser. Kleinsasser played his final NFL game on Sunday after spending his entire 13-year career with the Minnesota Vikings. Because there were so many great songs submitted for that challenge, there was interest in having the entire list of songs submitted available for your listening enjoyment.

“Oh, NOW you all want my picture? Now that I’m retiring and this is my final game? What about all those times I was blocking? Didn’t care then, huh?”

I love K-Sauce.

This is Jim Kleinsasser. We’d show his face, but it’s drenched in the blood of the opposing team’s LB’s, and this is a family site.

If we can't laugh at ourselves, Packer fans will call us crybabies and we will be forced to kick their tooth in. I really don't want to go to jail (again).

If you guys need me, I’ll be up in the mountains wrestling bears. If I’m not there, I’ll probably be at a lake catching fish with my bare hands.

Jim Kleinsasser doesn’t turn on the lights, he turns off the dark. Jim Kleinsasser once kicked the Earth – it hasn’t stopped spinning. Jim Kleinsasser doesn’t call the wrong number, you answer the wrong phone. Jim Kleinsasser is the reason Waldo is hiding. Jim Kleinsasser has a grizzly bear carpet in his house; the bear isn’t dead, it’s just afraid to move. Jim Kleinsasser wasn’t facing the wrong way in this picture – he just can’t be captured by human cameras.
