As a USC fan was not a fan of him on any level and thought it was another wasted 1st round pick. He should be suspended immediately and personally I would cut him, doesn't deserve to be on a NFL roster. Even without this incident he was not going to see the field as both KJ and Nailor are far better players.

The #2 overall pick in the NBA draft was basically an accessory to murder. The Vikings aren't cutting Addison until they see if he can play. Now if Reagor did this... yeah bye bye. I agree with you though the pick has worried me since draft night.

Wish he could have shown some of that speed during OTAs and mini camp.
Could it be two years in a row where we almost see nothing from our #1 picks?
Just letting Kwesi cook!!!! Isn't that everybody's favorite saying? The guy doesn't know shit and it's showing..
Cine and Addison can absolutely both still be great players for us. Rough starts for sure but that happens sometimes. If they are, all will be forgiven and forgotten. If not well hopefully the rest of the team can pick up the slack and KAM may not be long for the big chair. If that's the case so be it. He did hire KO though, which is also an important part of the job and looks like a good move so far.
EDIT- I will say, I'm more confident in Cine helping us out than Addison, and I'd have said that yesterday too.

I'm not sold on KO yet either, or that he was a better choice than Harbaugh. I think this was a playoff ready team that needed a few minor tweaks to reverse the bad fortune we experienced in Zimmers last season. We won 13 games on the backs of the talent the prior regime acquired. The biggest indictment to me on KO was his hiring of Donatell, which was just awful and anybody who knew anything about football knew that was an awful hire. I want to see what happens when this team hits some adversity and what KO does to reverse it.

With that said I have hope for KO. I was off the KAM wagon after the first round of his first draft

What was the first thing we heard out of his mouth? “Let’s go get paid!”? Something like that. Probably an unrelated coincidence. That said, driving fast in a high performance
car is not a red line for me. If he was intoxicated
and driving fast, that’d be different (still might be but we’d probably have
heard of it?). or if he’s out getting in
fights or beating up women or whatever.
Not a great first start, but not the worst thing in the world.

My first thought was "STUPID". In the Minnesota that I grew up in, they think different of you if you display extravagant wealth (a Lamborghini would qualify). I had/have high hopes for Addison, but there was something that rubbed me the wrong way when his name was called and he came on stage wearing all that glitz. That's LA, not Minnesota. That does not endear him to the locals. Culturally, you have to fit. "I bet he can't catch a walleye"...now when Minnesota fans start sayin' that...he's toast.

I only have one real hope here...that he gets called on the carpet by KOC, and told to man up or collect splinters on the bench. This incident will probably help KJ Osborne to start TC ahead of Addison...Addison is REALLY gonna have to earn his stripes now, cuz he just lost the PR war in Minnesota.

I might be in the minority but I don't think this is that big of a deal. I drive fast on open freeways all the time, yes well over 100 at times. It was 3 in the morning, can't imagine there was a whole lot of traffic. We'll see if he makes the news for "wrong" reasons in the future, hopefully not. But like I stated I really don't think this is a big deal.

What kind of car do you have?
