No, no, no, I understand what you meant. I was saying for a Cowboys fan perspective. I would rather have Jones over Mendehall and so would the majority.

The majority would not have Jones over Mendenhall - where are you getting that from?

 

[Boyzmamacita]

I heard the robber was Marvin Harrison.

 

[Biggems]

Cedric is in Austin, so he is clean.....

Tank gave up guns, so he is clean.....

I wonder if PacMan is involved? nah nevermind, no strip club involved.

hahahaha

Steelers first-round pick Rashard Mendenhall was reportedly robbed at gunpoint early Monday on the South Side of Chicago.
Mendenhall, a Chicago native, was reportedly walking along the lakefront at 2AM when two people stole his phone, cash, and wallet. He was not injured. "He is fine. He is doing great," Mendenhall's agent said. "He said he doesn't have anything that is worth his life." The robbers were reportedly wearing black hoodies and ski masks. No arrests have been made. May. 5 - 4:16 pm et

no, you can't. where in that article does it even come close for you to say he's a thug. That said, you're out in the Southside of Chicago at 2AM in the morning? You're just asking for trouble. Was he by himself?

I'm glad he wasn't hurt... Man it's not safe anywhere.

snipped from the article

The former Illinois running back was with another companion along the South Side walkway when he was robbed of his wallet, phone and cash, sources familiar with the investigation told the Chicago Sun-Times.

More than likely he was on a date trying to do the late night walk along the beach thing...

And the South Side ain't ALL bad...

Chicago is more dangerous than Iraq! Ain't no BS. Can you believe it? A couple of weekends ago in Chicago, 36 shot with 6 dead. Hey, maybe Mendenhall was going to a prayer group with Jeremiah Wright at 2 am.

LA averages 1-2 murders a day, Philly one per day, etc. Yet, the media completely ignores these crimes until it happens to an athlete or star.

Yeah, true. Guess I was generalizing when I should know better. The West Side is worse than South Side IMO. I love that city.

Yeah I'm going to have to say that is IN FACT BS. Houston had 8 murders in one weekend in April. Is Houston worse than Baghdad?

How come every athlete gets robbed by gun point in Chicago?

Chicago can be a scary place even more so at night. I refuse to go to chicago at night, cousins have been held at gun point, just doesn't sound like a good plan to me. during the day tho its beautiful.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I think the real question here is.... the guy who held him up... can he play football? He already has one of the prerequisites to be a Dallas Cowboy







Glad Mend is ok...

 

[Bob Sacamano]

PWNeD!

 

[yesfan]

It's a very numbing experience to be robbed at gunpoint.If you
were ever in a situation where you thought you were going to get
into a bad accident and just escape harm,that's the feeling.Only
this stays with you a lot longer.

Wow, that blows.
