How An NFL Player Prepares For Gameday
Minnesota Vikings punter, Chris Kluwe, may be best known as "that guy who sometimes stands behind Brett Favre on the sidelines," but gamers will likely know him for his amazing pumpkin creations. That's right, to prepare for gameday, Chris recreates his favorite video game moments through pumpkin carving. He says it relaxes him, and makes his kicking leg "Black Thunder" feel stronger.
Chris just finished this beautiful Mario pumpkin a few minutes ago. We're not sure how he managed to get so much detail into it, but he says it's a cross between magic, and him being a genius. And in case you are wondering, Chris' plant leg is named "White Lightning." In his words, "together they make it rain harder than Pacman Jones."
