Bryant McKinnie is turning out to be a role model
Bryant McKinnie added another bullet point to his amazing resume this weekend when he was kicked off the Pro Bowl team. McKinnie was in Miami for the game, but failed to show up for practice (well, he showed up 1 time) and was ultimately told that he could not be part of the game.
Can we blame him, though? I mean, practicing is tough! Pro Bowlers have to show up for about an hour of practice every day for a week!
That’s obviously a lot to ask!
McKinnie will add this latest headline to a long list of shining accomplishments, such as…
-Holding out for an NFL-record 98 days as a rookie because he wanted a bigger contract
-Being a part of the infamous Love Boat scandal, and being found guilty of the charges.
-Being arrested for fighting at a night club in Miami
His newest achievement, though, might be his most outstanding. In the history of the Pro Bowl, no player has ever been kicked off the team for skipping out on practice.
McKinnie’s name is in the record books!!
Because Bryant is such a humble guy, he tried to play it off as if he had an injury, and the coaches just didn’t get the message. So modest.
Minnesota fans, be proud that you cheer on a guy with such a great list of accomplishments such as Bryant McKinnie!
Simeon Rice was also kicked off the Pro Bowl in 2004… so I guess that is a record McKinnie will have to be content in sharing… until the next time he gets selected to a Pro Bowl which seems REAL likely now doesn’t it?
