Chris Kluwe, the former NFL punter who was carried out of a California city council meeting in protest of a "MAGA" plaque in front of a library, floated the possibility of running for office.

Kluwe’s protest stemmed from the plan to have a plaque outside a Huntington Beach library. The plaque has the acronym "MAGA" on it which read the words "Magical," "Alluring," "Galvanizing" and "Adventurous." It is also the acronym for President Donald Trump’s campaign message, "Make America Great Again."

The incident went viral last week, and he opened up about the idea to TMZ Sports.

"Personally, I do not want to run for public office because I do not want power. That's not something I desire," the former Minnesota Vikings player told the outlet. "I want everyone to be able to live their own life, free to live their life without other people harming them. Unfortunately, we're in a position where it looks like I might have to run for public office.

"I hate that because I want to sit at home and play video games. And if you are a good public servant, you serve the public. And it is an exhausting, demanding job. That means you care about everyone. You have to care about their issues and you have to find ways to help try and solve those issues."

Kluwe added he already had calls with Democratic Party "operatives" and added that something had to change within the party itself.

"But the thing that I firmly believe is that what our current Democratic Party is doing is not working. And it's time for the old guard to leave. It's time for new faces to take over," he said.

He added that he had no reservations about his "peaceful civil disobedience."

Georgia Bulldogs football head coach Kirby Smart sideswiped Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel during a recent coaching clinic.

Smart was speaking when four former collegiate quarterbacks popped up on his screen – Alabama’s Bryce Young, LSU’s Joe Burrow, Texas A&M’s Manziel and Auburn’s Cam Newton. He asked what each quarterback had in common.

One person yelled out "Heisman." Smart said that was a good answer. Each player did win the Heisman Trophy during their time in college. Someone else said "champion" and that appeared to be a bridge too far for Smart.

"Champions? He ain’t no champion. Champion of what? Champion of Fireball," Smart said of Manziel. "Alright, alright, alright, alright, I’m gonna go here for you. There’s Heisman. Right? They all had great days vs. our defenses. All four of them when off on us in some way shape or form."

The clip went viral on Monday.

Manziel struggled with drug and alcohol addiction during and after his NFL career with the Cleveland Browns. He reflected on the roots and impact of his addiction in a Q&A with students and those in recovery at the University of Alabama’s VitAL health conference back in August.

Manziel indicated during the conference that alcohol no longer had a place in his life. He also indicated the experience taught him a new way to manage any potential future success. He surrounded himself with consultants who pushed back on him when necessary. He said he learned that from having too much unanimous support from those around him in the past. 

"I started to develop and have a lot of yes men around me," Manziel said. "I think at the head of that group of influences was myself, and managing success now is not a solo thing. You need to have a support system and lean on things in your life."
