NFL joint practices are combustible settings that need strict adult supervision or else things tend to go kablooey.
Right, Shaun Hill?
“Well, I just remember a Chiefs coach down around [Jim] Kleinsasser’s ankles during one of the brawls,” the Vikings backup quarterback said. “I thought that was kind of interesting. Bodies were flying around that day for sure.”
Hill is in his 15th NFL season and second stint with the Vikings. He’s the only current Viking who played for Mike Tice, the tough-talking coach who always pushed the envelope on what was acceptable physicality. He’s also the only current Viking who was teammates with Brock Lesnar, the professional wrestler-turned-defensive tackle who incited, to Tice’s delight, the WWE-style melees during those infamous joint practices with Kansas City in Mankato 12 years ago.
