Vikings should pass if Joe Mixon is available

I can't wait to hear some of the hypocrites standing up for this guy that now despise Adrian.

I don't like what Mixon did or what Adrian did off the field but I don't live with either of them.  And I am completely fine if the Vikings draft him.  If we didn't give people second chances the world would be a sad place.

I respect Jayme's opinion of AD even though I completely disagree with it but he is at least honest and straight forward about it.

Unlike others who hate AD to the point where they don't want him to have success even if he leaves and goes to another team. "Oh gee I hope he doesn't go to the pats, raiders or _____ and do good and win a SuperBowl cause how bad would that suck"
 But its his "on the field performance" or his contract.... like he was ever going to get 18 million, is why they don't want him to be a Viking......

The Detroit Free Press had a similar article last week that I posted and pretty much every major newspaper in the country will post the same thing.

One thing about me: no one can ever say I'm not open, straightforward and honest. I am probably too much so actually. I just don't see the point in going through life sugar coating or lying about stuff. I am open to changing my mind about things, but it takes an awful lot, since it takes serious consideration and time for me to develop strongly held beliefs, like those about Adrian. It wasn't just 1 thing with him. It is the cumulative effect of everything he's done over the years. From his incredibly offensive comments about being a modern day slave while making MILLIONS to play a game that he chose to play, to his complete selfishness and arrogance in only caring about rushing stats and getting his as evidenced by his complete inability (read:unwillingness because as Robert Smith said, if he wanted to, he could be a better pass blocker and receiver and help the team a lot more) to develop into a complete player, to all his fumbling, to all of his comments about feeling disrespected, to his arrogance at the bar thinking he was too good to leave when told to, to his barbaric treatment of his kid laughing about whipping him on the nuts saying he got him good, reportedly stuffing leaves in his mouth to shut him up, etc, and then you also get into the whole bit about him knocking up girls all over the place. I find him to be a loathsome individual and nothing he can say or do can erase a decade of that shit that I've seen.

As for Mixon, I saw the video. He's a straight up thug. Anyone who would do that has terrible character, and he can ACT like he's not all he wants, anyone with a brain knows the truth about that piece of shit. He stalked that girl and her sissy friend and unloaded on her after she finally tried to get rid of him. That's not even debatable. Video shows that plain as day. Yet another reason to cheer against the new Thug U. He might be a tremendous player, and there's no doubt in my mind he'll be better than Adrian ever was in today's NFL since he'd be a 3 down back that can catch, but I still don't want him.

If Mixon is there and we pass on him I will be very seriously pissed off.

Are they really so different than the terrible things you said about feminists and the woman's march?

You may be just the same as them, just a few degrees less violent in action, but not in thought.

Your thoughts are not your actions.  BIG difference.  HUGE.

Jayme if nothing else you are honest. I'll give you that. I might add that I agree with you a lot but many times you take a 15 lb sledgehammer instead of a fly swatter to kill the fly.
