Forgive me but this probably belongs in the NFL Zone, but I felt that it was worth posting here even if it doesn't have much to do with the cowboys.

Its a story about the personal safety of NFL players. It starts out with Clinton Portis' story (Sean Taylor related), and then goes into Ben Roethlisberger, Kevin Mawae, and Dunta Robinson.

Make sure you click on "next page" at the bottom of each story.

The Dunta Robinson story is real scary. I can't imagine what he was thinking when he was held up in his own home with his two little children there.

Fascinating read.

Yeah, I thought so too. Doesn't look like too many people were overly interested in it though. I thought it was a great in depth look at what these guys go through.

Some people can't read past 1 paragraph without losing interest.
 
Scary stuff.

Big reason why I never held it against Tank Johnson. He just should have been smarter how he went about it.

I agree with this.
 
sensationalistic journalism at it's best here. boo hoo these guys can can afford security. ben should be scared of his own stupidity crashing that motorcycle - without helmet - that he couldn't even drive.

i'm a little more concerned about non-pro-athletes living in much worse parts of town, not riding around in $100k cars and the like.
 
very good read...its gotta suck to work yourself into that position
and then not being able to relax and enjoy it.
sure those guys have a great life but it aint all a bowl of cherries.

I agree. It's a Shame they have to feel that way.
