FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons first-round draft pick Takkarist McKinley has an intimidating side that strikes fear in opponents. The defensive end from UCLA also watches "SpongeBob SquarePants" religiously.
McKinley had no problem admitting his affection for the Nickelodeon cartoon series.
"That's all we watch, me and my little dog," McKinley said, referring to himself and his French bulldog, Codeine. "It's a funny show. SpongeBob is very positive. We usually watch it around 5 p.m. (PT). Most of the time it's just reruns."
McKinley even has a favorite episode where SpongeBob delivers a pizza.
