Mendenhall Robbed at Gunpoint

Just another conflict in the NFL, the 4th crime related activity in 5 days.

Rashard Mendenhall, RB for the Steelers and 23rd pick overall, was robbed at gunpoint at the Chicago lakefront.

A police officer said he was robbed by 2 offenders but did not name names....because they haven't found them yet.

So on Friday, Marvin Harrison and a gun are involved. Earlier, Onterrio Smith was arrested on DUI charges. Michael Boley was charged with battery today, Cedric Benson was arrested on boat DUI and resisting arrest. Now this happens.

Wild week in the NFL eh?

And people give the NBA shit for having criminals. It's time to realize that the NFL has thugs too. This is one of many reasons why I am sick and tired of pro sports, particularily the NFL.

This user is a rabid fan of College Football.

But...Mendenhall didn't do anything...he was a VICTIM. But yes, the NFL is no different.

You're a fan of the hundreds of "student-athletes" that can barely formulate a sentence?

90% of them will be going pro in something other than sports. So they all can formulate sentences. Mendenhell, didn't do anything that we know of, but the other guys did.

Unfortunately, plenty of those college athletes get in trouble, too. Perrilloux, anyone?

A) Thanks SSR...Mendenhall didn't do anything.

B) People are individuals...and as adults (as practically every pro athlete and college athlete are) they have responsibilities

C) Beast, where do you think almost every NFL player plays before the pros...could it be the NCAA?

D) I work for a fairly large company...i wonder how many people at my job have gotten arrested recently...there's no way of knowing

Well, Kurt Warner didn't, Jut. Ha, but yeah, pretty much everyone else in the NFL did. And Beast, it's Mendenhall, not Mendenhell. There's a BIG difference between Hell, and Hall.

I'm glad he's okay. It could have been a lot worse and I'm glad it didn't reach that point.
