McKinnie Donates Household Goods To Local Charity

by Ted Glover on Aug 29, 2011 10:30 PM CDT in News

There aren't a lot of fans of Bryant McKinnie on this site, and I would be one of those non-fans. But when a guy does something to help out his fellow man, it deserves credit and recognition.

McKinnie has donated all of the household goods from his Minneapolis home to a local charity, which is very kind gesture for a guy that left Minnesota in somewhat embarrassing circumstances. Said McKinnie through his publicist:

All of my furniture in my old home is practically new and in decent condition, I look at this as a positive way to move to my new location, while still providing families in need of appliances and household goods.

It would have been easy for McKinnie to just have his stuff packed up and moved to Baltimore, but it was very thoughtful of him to donate what I can only assume is some pretty nice stuff to those that are less fortunate than he is.

Good luck to you in Baltimore, Bryant. What you did was very generous, and there are families throughout Minneapolis benefiting from your generosity, whether they get a new couch, stove, or refrigerator.

Lmao

Nice one
Mckinnie certainly did a generous thing…and since Baltimore is in the AFC, I would love to see the guy turn his career around.

I call dibs on the ice cream machine....

the donut maker, and the cheese curd booth in his back yard.

and, uh, ummm, nice move, very classy…It must feel like a wieght has been taken off of your shoulders.

I will not be PONDERing anything, ever again....I'm so tired of this pun. Maybe we could use antonyms to be different, like: "FORGET about last season, as we COGITATE about winning in 2011!"...Whatever, SKOL VIKES!!!

Class act! The more I hear about this guy, the more I like.

I think McKinnie has turned over a new leaf in Baltimore. Here’s a quote from Cam Cameron that pleasantly surprised me…

“I saw [Bryant McKinnie], Ray Lewis and Ed [Reed] working after, doing extra running after practice. I think he’s going to do everything he can to make this organization proud for bringing him here. I like his attitude, I like his approach. And I don’t know how you get a player like that this late in the training camp, but we seem to find a way to get it done."
