Impressive bar stats.
Vikings tackle Bryant McKinnie turned a lot of heads in a swank Hollywood nightclub the other night, reportedly running up a $100,000 bar tab during the NBA All-Star "Kick Off Party."

According to TMZ, McKinnie's tastes ran to high-end champagne at MyHouse during the party, which was hosted by rapper Rick Ross.

At least he wasn't in Tinsel Town to play football. Last year, you may remember, McKinnie was thrown off the NFC Pro Bowl team after tweeting about his affection for the King of Diamonds strip joint in Miami.

Another class act from the world of Michael Vick and the NFL. Kick the fucking Vikings OUT.

Therapy is what's needed for all this madness-he needs a tight-fisted money manager and perhaps a legal guardian-do the math his salary doesn't warrant his ridiculous spending.

Right, he allegedly only made $2.9 million in '09-10 according to USA Today.

Though I agree, he needs financial counseling (at least). I feel my point stands; these guys make more than enough money to buy their own stadium, not to mention the amounts Wylf could kick in if he didn't understand how bad of an investment a stadium really is.

Seriously, you guys. The Vikings' roster is 62 men long this season. If they all forego just ONE $100K bender per year--no need for them to be teetotalers, amiright?--and contribute that to a stadium fund, that's $6.2 MILLION. And the public is being asked to buy them a stadium?

Did he at least pay his tab, unlike some other high-profile athletes?
