*At this point, we have NO idea of what prompted ex-NFLer Willie McGinest to deliver a brutal beatdown of a man at Delilah a popular LA nightspot, but that’s what he did and it’s all on video for the world to see (above).
On Monday (12-19-22) that attack landed him in jail briefly until he bailed out. Meanwhile, the video shows him punching the guy in the face and later bashing him in the head with a bottle.
We’re just now hearing about the incident today, but it actually went down earlier this month on December 9 when the ex-NFL star and several of his apparent associates could be seen in the footage beating a man crapless who was sitting at a table.
There’s no sound, but McGinest seems to calmly walk up to the guy, and exchange words with him — before sending a wicked left hook straight to the man’s face.

Willie McGinest brawl
Here’s more via TMZ:
At least three other men could be seen in the video immediately jumping into the action — landing a flurry of strikes on the man over and over again. The punches rarely stopped for around 30 seconds — despite bystanders’ attempts to try to separate the men from each other.
At one point during the melee, McGinest appeared to pick up a bottle … and then slam it into the man’s head repeatedly. The 51-year-old former linebacker can be seen in the footage tossing it onto a nearby sofa, before finally walking away from the scene. The man looked to be bloodied and bruised once the brawl stopped. He has yet to be publicly ID’d.
McGinest was arrested on Monday morning over the incident — authorities said he was booked at 7:30 a.m. on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Jail records show the New England Patriots legend’s bail was set at $30,000. According to police, McGinest posted bond and was released from custody at 9:46 AM.

McGinest played for the New England Patriots from 1994 to 2005 where he won three Super Bowls. He was inducted into the Patriot’s Hall of Fame in 2015 McGinest still holds the record for most sacks in the postseason, with 16.
Based on his on-screen demeanor while working as an analyst for the NFL Network, seeing him be so violent in a non-game setting is McGinest is a big shock for most folks. We can only wonder if this incident will affect his employment with the network.
