Usually deaths that happen outside of my personal life don't really affect me. But Khryee's passing really hit me, gone way too soon. Rest is power, Skol
Yeah man I follow all the players on social media watch purple ftw every day watch this channel everyday you build a love for these guys when you share the same love for football. Rip khyree
@@Bam.apollo rip to a fellow gamer SKOL fly high pimp
@@Bam.apolloagreed!! And Andy with purple ftw handled very well and professional!! Prayers up Kyhree from SKOL NATION🙏🏾
Yeah, I think his journey more closely reflects those us us working low pay or dead end type jobs. Losing a guy like that really does hit a little harder.
Skol
Playing with a heavy heart this year RIP #31 KJ
Tough situation for the Vikings organization. They are handling the situation very well.
RIP KJ
Playing with a heavy heart this year RIP KJ # 31
RIP🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I truly hope the Vikings and the NFL take care of his family.
They are they paying for funeral cost and still giving his rookie salary to his family.
Paid his contract to his family and is covering a significant portion of funeral expenses. Classy organization!!
20k to funeral expenses and paid the full amount of his contract to his family. Classy organization
Such a great organization we love our Vikings SKOL!
LOL GO PACK GO
@@suave6734 Expected behavior from a packers fan. Real classy. A player is dead......
Kevin is an absolute leader. That locker room is lucky to have the leadership they do to help them get through this tragedy. RIP Khyree
He was a stud on 🎿 at Oregon. RIP bro
Kwesi is the goat and needs more opportunities to show his brilliance in these media sessions. I do believe KOC mirrors kwesi and his thoughts but when you have genius around you give it space to flourish
Glad the sports dad was in the house to ask the tough questions. #beforeidie
🙏🏾✝️RIP KHRYEE JACKSON literally still hurt from this 🥹
Rip Khyree.
Even talking about Khyree makes me cry. Absolutely breaks my heart.
Sad day for all true life long Vikings fans... My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who is effected by our loss... I'm here for any players that need anything I'm available to help with spiritual vibes and energy.. God bless everyone so sad right now.
I’m gonna assume you mean well but you gotta word shit different. ANY FAN, ANYONE, can feel the loss of a young man taken far to early (as shown from people around the league and all 32 fan bases. Hope whoever does reach out to you for prayer get a genuine support system out of you. God is Great
As a NFL organization, the Vikings seem to be at the top of the mountain.
I'm not sure what some of the reporters were expecting KOC to say about Addison, KOC won't just out right bash his players
Facts not okay I think it's not the time and I don't think reporters understand the truth is have respect for our organization with a heavy heart God bless 🙏
Seiferts question was more than fair. The organization can’t say Kyree’s passing is tragic and unfair while Addison is out there driving impaired. Addison engaged in the exact same behavior that ended up killing Kyree: impaired driving. Totally fair questions to ask them about how they plan to be consistent with their messaging.
Draft good people is all that he should do. Addison is not one to be proud of.
No doubt about it the drunk driver deserves life without parole!!!!!! no ifs ands buts about it!!!!!! END OF STORY😤 edit: REST EASY KDAWG, I hope the Vikings do a memorial for him WK2(since week one we’re going to be in New York)
You mean his friend who he was partying with earlier in the night? The incident occurred at 3am - did you see the aftermath? The car was obviously travelling at high speed. Would be cool if there were less comments acting like it was a random drunk driver that is entirely responsible for the outcome
@@pigspigs76You have the right screen name, very deserving.
@@pigspigs76 I said what I said and I’m not changing anything. Life in prison for the driver that caused the crash.
Personally I think a narrative that demonized the girl as ‘entirely responsible’ for what happened - may have led to the shooting at Jackson’s vigil - resulting in another life lost
So knowing the person who ended of killing him and 2 other people makes it better because its not a stranger? That's even worse a drunk friend killing u@@pigspigs76
We should wear Purple Hearts on our jerseys for khyree like how other teams do patches for people
12:03 here is Jordan Addison dui part Rest In Peace kyhree Jackson 🕊
RIP ..
That is very telling for KOC to want a very competitive training camp between Darnald and JJ.
Well I had a feeling the Vikings Coaches People and Players were going to do all that for season of honoring 31 as Rookie Khyree Jackson. We will be winning these games just for him and he always be looking over us and be in our hearts of the teams and fans and I will be wearing Number 31 Khyree Jackson in every single games. I think they should do the Memorial Video Ready on the Big Board for Week 1 or Week 2 and have a moment of silence for the young man and his buddies but it also nice for them to hold the Funeral on Friday and you always be missed Khyree Jackson Number 31. I think that was a best thing ever and what an incredible organization SKOL and I love this team and do it all for Khyree Jackson. Rest In Peace Khyree Jackson! I thought they were do the 31 Number on the Field.
Let's gooooo skol 9
RIP NEPHEW ❤😢
❤️
Remind me, who is the GM? is it O'Connell who was the first to address the press and seems to be doing the majority of the talking or is it Adofo-Mensa who is making follow-up/filler comments?
Rip kj
The season was an uphill climb with that schedule. This tragedy only makes it worse. I would expect a 3-5 win season period.
Skol
extensions now!!!!
B.S. Addison feels worse about his actions than anyone else? Don't make me laugh. This kid is driving a souped-up short bus headed for a cliff.
And what do you drive ?
Juggs throwing heat ‼️

Holds himself to a high standard…………..then falls asleep behind the wheel and follows it up with a tequila sunrise picture. We ain’t buying it
I wonder who the backup QB will be. Hopefully not Nick arm punt Mullens. I don’t think he gives you a real chance to win. He started 3 games last year, went 0-3, and he threw like 8 interceptions if I remember correctly. He had the same problem in San Francisco. Went 5-11 as a starter, threw 22 interceptions. He’s just always had a turnover problem
During this interview the QB picture seems more “open” than has been suggested in prior comments. The next two or three weeks should tell us a great deal.
Most backups don't give you a chance to win.
Lots of sack and fumble again if that oline don't get fixed!
Kind of a dick at the intro. Its a call no one wants to get regardless if it's a employee, co-worker, boss, father, sister, aunt, uncle, cousin, brother , sister, and so on. Being a person who was responsible for taking a life of a family member in a auto accident due to brake failure and that was after they were replaced 8 hours prior. I am not sure what happened I was not their for Khyree Jackson. He seemed like a great person and a person I would have called a friend if I had gotten to know him more. I feel sad at the loss of all those young people. Just at the start of their journey in life. I hope that whoever caused the accident that they get the help they need if it was for drugs booze or texting. Or even if it was a similar accident to my own. It is a very sad day to have to mourn for a life lost at such a young age. My condolences to the family of all the victim's.
He was referring to the fact that this past part of the season is the time coaches etc. are most fearful of getting that call. I don't think he was being a dick. He has handled the situation very well including his initial statement after the news came out. I'm sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how hard that is... Let us honor our fallen 🙏
You clearly misunderstood a very simple thing.
He is speaking in public. Therefore doing his best to pay full respect by expressing his feelings and giving perspective 👏
"every player in this locker room thought what if that was me? Referring to the khyree Jackson tragedy..." Everyone EXCEPT Jordan Addison and his stupid blunder
terrible answer on addison. KOC is a master of saying a ton of words that mean nothing.
What would you like him to say? Bash him publicly? Kick him off the team? He has to lead a football team. He has to make sure guys run through walls for the organization.
That's why you're not the coach. You are a moron.
Means nothing to you.. because your opinion on that means nothing to them
@@cotedivoir Thx for outing yourself as having a double digit IQ.
Is it just me or is O’Connell already starting to look like Zimmer?
Trade Addison for a first rounder! RiP KJ!
Seems like the Vikings have no control over their players or staff when it comes to drinking and driving. Nothing changes...
Jackson was a victim of drunk driving not the perpetrator. If you are talking about Jordan Addison or Wes Phillips then sure they could do more but Jackson was the VICTIM.
@@GusbusGaming Sure, 3 a.m. and racing on a city street with buddies. Try again...
@@rogerbeck5664 The crash did happen around that time but there has been 0 reports about them street racing around. You are just insinuating something because of the time it happened. If you read any of the reports out there they were not racing around they were hit by a drunk driver.
If you were referring to Khyree, he wasn't driving, and there have been ZERO reports that he or the driver of the vehicle he was in were drinking. There was zero report of them racing either. What if they were driving sober and totally in control going the speed limit and their drunk friend pulled some dumb shit to try and be cool or funny that resulted in the crash? If talking about Addison, it's speculated that it was NOT alcohol that caused his incident. It doesn't excuse his behavior, but you might want to get your facts straight before condemning these guys like that.
Put your crayons away before you poke your eye out.
Trade Addison for a 1st rd pick in 2025
wise to do
No ones agreeing with you, stop liking your own comments. 😂
Heck no... you don't trade the future away.. you help the kid face reality that his actions 🎬 have consequences for others and himself and help him
out of the whole video... that's all you care about rn?
Unless I missed anything Jordan was arrested on suspicion of DUI. He is innocent until proven guilty.
he was a fucking bust at corner
What did you say?? Your mom shows her bust on a street corner?
