I’ve always said, if you are going to go out, go out with a bang….

And by bang Daunte, I mean Lake Minnetonka style….

An excerpt from his retirement release via ProfootballTalk

The decision I made in 2006 to represent myself rather than hire an agent has been an invaluable experience. I now understand why so many people within the NFL community are uncomfortable with a player really learning the business. The NFL has become more about power, money and control than passion, competition and the love of the game. Regardless of this shift, player’s rights are still supposed to be a part of this league. Since I will not be given the opportunity to honor the memory of Gene Upshaw by wearing a patch on my uniform this year, I will instead spend some of my energy applying what he taught me about standing up for what is right and not sitting down for what is clearly wrong.

So what do you think here? How is Daunte going to be remembered?

1. Only becoming good because he could throw jump balls to one of the best receivers ever

2. Doing that stupid “roll-on” thing

3. Being involved in the greatest sex scandal of all-time.

Personally, I’m leaning towards 3 because of the utter hilarity that ensued when some of the details came out

This is what was said about Culpepper

Daunte Culpepper: Indecent conduct, disorderly conduct, and lewd or lascivious conduct for allegedly getting a lap dance from a naked woman and putting his hands on her naked behind.

And while that was bad, it wasn’t nearly as bad as what Bryant McKinnie did

Bryant McKinnie: Indecent conduct, disorderly conduct, and lewd or lascivious conduct for allegedly picking up a naked woman, placing her on the bar and performing oral sex on her in front of the crew and other guests.

I think the herpes on Bryant Mckinnie’s face really regret the time they spent in between that strippers legs….

Wait, I went too far again

Dammit…
