TMZ reports Falcons DE Takk McKinley was detained by Los Angeles police on Tuesday following an incident at a hotel and is "undergoing a mental evaluation."

Wasn't McKinley the one who got a little "overexuberant" at the Draft?

Yes that was weird at the draft but I liked the kid until the Falcons took him. Hope he can deal with whatever issues he has and go succeed for some AFC team

Lets not get it twisted... he voluntarily left the hotel with police and agreed it was in his best interest to seek help for his mental well-being. A friend was worried about him and called the police in a panic. 

I know Takk personally and he has one of the biggest hearts and personalities I’ve ever encountered in my life. He is a crazy success story to be where he is after the obstacles he has overcome in life. He absolutely has a temper from my experience with him, but I have nothing but fond memories of Takk. Prior to being drafted by Atlanta, Takk was a huge Panther fan and we would watch Panther games together each Sunday. 

 

I wish him him the best and hope he gets the help he needs to get right.

From the TMZ report:

http://m.tmz.com/#!2019/01/15/atlanta-falcons-takkarist-mckinley-detained-police/

"McKinley was with a friend at a high-end hotel around noon when something happened and the friend became concerned about McKinley's well-being. We're told the friend called police for help.

We're told cops spoke with McKinley who agreed it was in his best interest to get help -- and he cooperated and left with police. We're told McKinley was NOT arrested or booked for any crime."

 

Titling the thread 'Falcons Player in Trouble' is a bit low.   Guy is obviously having some issues, lets hope he gets the help he needs.

I was amazed that so many people could diagnose him based on one article.  It is a blessing to have so many cyber psychotherapists on my computer machine.  I have been analyzed a few times myself, but never got a bill.  They are just doing humankind a service.  I  thank them.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
