Stay strong, Mt. McK. Don’t let these trolls get you down. Nice, the way they stand behind one of their 10 year vets. You vike fans are the best.

============================

Sort of like when Pack fans were referring to James Jones as “scraps” when it looked like he was going to sign with the Vikings, huh? Or when they went after Underwood and Jolly for their indiscretions.

Truthfully, McKinnie wasn’t a bad LT until 2010. But he never seemed to care enough to be as good as he could/should have been and judging by his antics he didn’t care enough off the field either. It may have taken awhile, but his poor decisions finally caught up to him. Sad thing is…he probably doesn’t care.

Catch up with the rest of the world.

Berrian’s deal was redone at thevet minimum, that’s why he has NOT practiced yet and can’t under the new CBA until Thursday.

I’d put them on the field. I would have other teams obliterate and embarrass him so bad, he would fake injury or pray for an actual injury just to get off the field. I would then make him publicly apologize to his teammates after the game for their poor performance, and then I would cut him. I’d be out of a coaching gig in probably less than 2 seasons, but I’d go out swinging and have at least done it my way.

And then running up a $175,000 bar bill last year in the middle of an economic crisis. What a tool. If you want to give your money away, find a good charity. I hope no one gives him a job.

Vikings faithful don’t lose faith. Patrick Brown (practice squad), spent the lockout working out at UCF putting on an additional 10 pounds and improving his quickness. Looking for good things out of this young man. 6’5″ and 314.

First it took him way too long become a decent tackle. Second, it was a short-ride at ‘good’ and he went south in 2009 (and was ironically voted into the probowl despite his inadequateat 9-sack-surrendering pass-blocking).

sucks for some of these guys who gut hurt by being lazy in the lockout….

Why does it suck for them?

The didn’t take care of themselves is all on them. Lazy and stupid.

Have zero sympathy for them.

He got what he deserved, by being released. I hope the Vikings add one more OL stud and also sign Floyd or another WR who can actually be consistent. The team has more holes to patch, but this was an intelligent and overdue move. I was sick watching McKinnie go through the motions last year. He was a sieve and rarely opened any lanes for AP.

Why was the 2002 draft memorable for the Vikings? That wasn’t the year they skipped their #7 pick…
____________

No, that was the year that the Chiefs got their #6 pick in late and the Vikings were criticized for not jumping up and getting their pick in before the Chiefs finally got around to it. Everyone wanted them to jump and get Ryan Sims, a much bigger bust than McKinnie.

This should have been done immediately after the sex boat scandal. It would have been painful at the time but we’d have a left tackle by now.

Is there a connection between Rice leaving to play with T-Jack (laughable decision) and the Vikes cutting McKinnie? Only Vikings management knows. 2) McKinnie tested Frazier by showing up for camp out of shape and overweight. Wheres Chilly put up with McKinnie’s antics, Frazier didn’t. Chilly failed the test; Frazier passed by standing up to one of the team’s most difficult players. As a Vikings fan, I am also comforted by the fact McKinnie lost $750k in bonuses and even if he signs a new deal, it won’t pay close to the $4.9 mil. Ziggy had agreed to pay him. Goodbye you lazy bum.
