Apparently Rashard Mendenhall Really Is an Idiot

This time around, Mendenhall is offering opinions regarding the death of Osama bin Laden, and questioning whether the planes that hit the World Trade Center caused the collapse of the twin towers.

“We’ll never know what really happened,” Mendenhall said. “I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style.”

Mendenhall also expresses sympathy for bin Laden. “What kind of person celebrates death?” Mendenhall says. “It’s amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We’ve only heard one side.”

What a dopey thing to say...OBL owned the WTC bombings..claimed and was proud that he was the mastermind behind all that carnage and death.

You cannot legislate being stupid can you?

My sympathies are to the families and survivors of that tragedy. Those people were my fellow countrymen and women.

Actually to most people OBL lived 10 years too long..this was long overdue!

weres that post with "jocks arent dumb".

What do you expect the celebs to say? Come on, they are celebs and other idiots treat them like royalty. Only the people who get upset pay WAY to much attention to them.

arent some of these people paid per tweet or something, so when they spark controversy it gets it out there or something.

and i believe some here made the claim that even americans hate america and what it stands for. the Mendenhall basically says he wants to hear the other guys side of it. Whats to hear, he planned it and got away with it for ten years and than paid the price. To some people death means more to them than life, and for him, his death was worth it.

it was a tragedy and best left at that. one persons death doesnt equal all the many that suffered, but a message was sent, regardless of theory or facts and what was presented and here we are. No one is celebrating death but we are celebrating justice, which is funny for a country that tries its best to do what it can and give everyone a fair shot, but some people arent happy with that either.


Its best to leave it all be, believe me it will boil the blood.

I know he will forever be linked to Dallas because of Felix. I could only imagine what this would look like if it was Felix.

Whats so hard to believe about a jet airliner that weights upwards of 400 tons and is traveling at 400-500 mph full of jet fuel taking down a skyscraper?
Sometimes its better to keep your mouth shut then open it and remove all doubt that your a fool.
I think we have a sympathizer in our midst and a deportation is in order.

You can just look at some people and tell they're dumb.

All of this sounds fairly intelligent to me.

Not so much the airplane comment though.

Celebrating a death just doesn't seem right to me, regardless of whether or not a person deserves it. It is very american though. Celebrate death and violence, shun nudity and foul language. Go Go America. Yay.

The flame bait is set. Enjoy.

Justice was being celebrated yesterday. The celebration would have been equally jubilant had Bin Laden been captured and brought back to the U.S. People still would have been dancing in the streets. Generalities and stereotypes do not apply to what has occurred since late Sunday evening.

I agree with some of what he has said.

:laugh1:

If that's what you think about America ..... no wonder you are mourning a terrorist's death.

I can understand someone not wanting to celebrate someone's death, even Bin Laden's. Even Rudy Guiliani said he didn't feel like celebrating. But lol @ all that other stuff, Rashard Mendenhall is an idiot. I'm sure his comments will play VERY well in blue-collar Pittsburgh, a whole 80 miles from where Flight 93 went down.

Somebody needs to do this to that little!

i agree with some of what he said. didn't sit right with me watching people celebrating in the streets but on the other hand to say that people who never met bin laden should reserve judgement is just plain moronic. even if there is no proof he was behind 9/11 (wikileaks apparantly have files that show the fbi could never find evidence according to a news report over here) he claimed responsibility and orchestrated (or at the very least was the figurehead of the group who carried out) several other attacks on american and european targets so i think its safe to say not many in the west were sad to see his demise.

Nobody is demanding that every person 'celebrate' Bin Laden's death. But for Mendenhall to question those who CHOOSE to celebrate Bin Laden's death says a lot about this ingrate.

I woke up this morning and literally felt so good today. I then realized how depressed and frustrated Bin Laden being alive had made me and how much of that I've supressed over the years. And how proud I am of the men and women in the armed forces that helped us bring this POS to justice.

I can say now with 1000% confidence that I'm glad we drafted Felix over this guy.

How does the guy question how a plane takes down a skyscraper demolition style? It was a giant bomb. Plane + Jet Fuel + Collision = building fall.
