swede700 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) How come he didn't point out that he's a former "Vikings" LB and not just generalize it as a former LB? He played for the VIkings, so he's sorta one of us. 🤣 Edited February 25, 2022 by swede700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepotism is when someone gets a job that they are unqualified for simply because their parent is in a position to hire them. This isn’t one of those situations. Just because you work with your parent, doesn’t mean it’s a result of nepotism. Steve Donatell has been a defensive quality control guy at Stanford for the past 3 years. So, I’d venture that he’s plenty qualified to do the same job with the Vikings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
