Who is the toughest DE that you have ever played against, along with the reasoning why?
Bryant McKinnie:  KGB from Green Bay because I had to see him twice per year and he was a veteran. He had a lot of moves and I had to prepare myself twice a year to see him. I think he made me a better player, mainly in the pass game.

Bryant McKinnie:  I have some local Florida rappers...Brisco. I have Jay-Z. I have Trick Daddy and Trina. I have Pleasure P.

[Comment From Matt O] 
Have any friends on the Raven squad?
Bryant McKinnie:  yes I do. Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Willis McGahee. And they all are from The U!
Why do you think players from the University of Miami have such a loyal fraternity?

Bryant McKinnie:  Because everyone was so loyal to each other when you were there. It's almost like a brotherhood. And then NFL players always come back to Miami and remind us of that. Plus there's not a lot of loyalty in the NFL, so it's good to stick with each other.

What do you think of Jacory Harris?
Bryant McKinnie:  I think he's a pretty good QB. He's playing at a high level right and he's helped them to a 4-1 record.

how do u manage to handle your record label and football career at the same time?
Bryant McKinnie:  I have people who run the label while i'm gone. therefore, I can concentrate on football. Then when the offseason comes, I'm more hands-on. But on my offdays during the season (Tuesdays), I listen to beats and send them in.

Bryant McKinnie:  James Jackson, Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, Jarret Payton and Frank Gore.

Was it difficult adjusting to Favre as your QB?
Bryant McKinnie:  At the beginning with his snap count it was, but everything is good now and we're used to it.
hey bryant what was the hardest thing you had to pass to be in nfl????

Bryant McKinnie:  Just the work you have to put in. I went to junior college and then the University of Miami. It's hard work...a lot of people just see the games on Sundays, but there's a lot of time you have to put into this career.

Bryant McKinnie:  Hey everyone, I have a record label called Swagga - it's me and R&B artist named Pleasure P. He has an album out called The Introduction of Marcus Cooper. I'm a co-Executive Producer on that album. You can follow both of us on Twitter. His Twitter name is @PleasureP and mine is @BigMacVikings

You dominated D Freeney in college is he any different to go up against in the pro's?
Bryant McKinnie:  He's gotten better since he's been in the NFL. I guess he's learned a lot here. We just faced each other in preseason but we didn't go one-on-one during the game.

Bryant McKinnie:  Thanks everyone for chatting. It was fun. Remember to follow us, and the Vikings, on Twitter! Go Vikes!
