Bryant McKinnie

[R. Richard]

I'm hoping that someone can explain his news item to me. Bryant McKinnie is six feet eight inches tall and weighs 335 pounds, he's 29 years old. He makes his living as a left tackle for the Minnestoa Viking's pro football team, thus he's not only tall and heavy, he's very muscular. Who in the hell would want to get into a street fight with Bryant McKinnie? It would seem to me to be to be a must to avoid.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)—The NFL suspended Minnesota left tackle Bryant McKinnie for four games without pay Friday for violating the league’s personal conduct policy, a blow to the protection of Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson’s blind side.

McKinnie has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from a street brawl outside a Miami nightclub in February. He will be eligible to return to the Vikings’ active roster following the team’s Sept. 28 game against Tennessee/

Someone with suicidal impulses? Drunk? Deranged little bantum rooster-type?

Someone drunk or on drugs?

 

[epiphany65]

There must be quicker, less painful ways of committing suicide...

That being said, I saw an interview with Mike Tyson years ago in which he was asked about a similar incident he had been involved in and he said "I was scared. I hadn't been in a street fight in years." Go figure...

Someone drunk or on drugs?

If so and there was ever a really compelling argument against alcohol and/or other drugs, this is it!

Maybe he got into a street brawl with a sumo wrestler? Or one of those Olympic weight lifting guys?

I'd by tickets to watch that one!

Maybe he's just a thug and started beating on people.

Good point about the sumo wrestlers. Those guys are huge, tough and they have enough fat to pad then against most casual attacks. Asashoryu is a specific example.

Big weight lifters are generally too slow to really be dangerous for a guy the size of McKinnie.

Power lifters might be slow, but Olympic guys have to be quick. The events require it.

Please, a Thug is a member of a religious group.

If someone the size of Bryant McKinnie starts beating on people, the sensible thing to do is run. Apparently that didn't happen in this case.

Maybe, just maybe he did something incredibly stupid like hit on that skinny guys wife. You know the guy.

Skin like leather
Worked all his life in the swamps trapping the little critters.
Eats 1500 calories a meal and burns it all off.
Never been in a gym in his life but lifts weight all day, every day.

Suicidal? Maybe.

Or maybe he was rude to an elderly Chinese gentleman. You know, the kind who has spent the last 50 years driving his fingertips into the hole he's worn in the sidewalk? Shudder!

 

[Boota]

Being a big guy myself, though not as big as McKinnie, I know something about this sort of thing. A lot of small guys have a complex that seems to make them need to pick fights with bigger guys. The big guy can't win unless you can verbally make them even smaller than they are physically. If you beat them up you only beat up on a little guy. And you're fucked if you lose. The little guy gets to brag about beating up a big guy.

I don't know what the situation is in the above mentioned case, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were something similar to my experience. A lot of professional athletes have problems with people starting trouble with them while they're out. Some of them don't even go out because of it.

Yeah I'm going with boota, soem guys got drunk saw that huge offensive lineman for a professional football team and figured let's start a fight, he wins we can sue, we win we can boast about it all over and score hot chicks.

I used to waitress in bars remember, I heard alot of conversations, most of them made me wish I didn't like the part attached to men so much.

I may as well ask this one in here, why do drunk men always have to be so loud? I mean does the volume they are speaking in change if you believe them or not?

Like has been said so often, men have two heads but only enough blood to make one work at a time. Throw in enough alky and neither one works!
