NFL spokesman Greg Aeillo says the NFL is reviewing why Minnesota Vikings left tackle Bryant McKinnie failed to show up for multiple practices in advance of tonight's Pro Bowl game, which prompted the league to remove him from the NFC roster.
In an e-mail to Judd Zulgad of the Star Tribune, the case will "be reviewed for a possible fine in addition [to] his loss of his Pro Bowl game check."
McKinnie failed to attend four of the NFC's five practices last week, despite sending several late-night/early-morning "tweets" late last week that indicated his presence at several Miami-area nightclubs. Yesterday, McKinnie posted on his Twitter page that he was withdrawing from the game due to injuries, despite it already being reported that the NFL had removed him from the game.
One would think that the NFL would take into account McKinnie's track record during its review of this case.
McKinnie was docked one game check in 2006 for his role as an organizer of the "Love Boat" incident on Lake Minnetonka in 2005, and was suspended for the first four games of the 2008 season for his role in an fight outside a Miami nightclub in February of 2008.

Sometimes, I feel bound by what players should, if necessary, there should be some punishment. NFL ShopThis can draw on NBA. For example, a gun was declared suspended for Arenas, NFL should do the same.
