What kind of person celebrates death? It's amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We've only heard one side... Are you effing kidding me? I thought his slavery comment was moronic, but that was nothing compared to this one. _________________  If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

| I've heard players make dumb comments over the years and do dumb things, and I've always tried to separate that from their on the field play. I'll do the same thing here. But sheeeeesh. There's two sides to every story? Really Mendy? Maybe Hitler was misunderstood as well.  _________________ If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

Wait, was that a reference to his slave comment? Nice. I'm a little slow.  _________________ If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

So, Mendy's a Truther. The only good that come of this is that it gives us something to talk about during the lockout.  _________________ If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

The only good that come of this is that it gives us something to talk about during the lockout. I just saw this on ESPN, and I didn't believe my eyes for a second. We all know that not all these NFL players are the most intelligent of folk...but his comments went beyond stupidity. His first comment about why we shouldn't hate Bin Laden makes absolutely no sense. So if a man burns my house down killing my entire family while I am not home, should I not hate that man because I have never spoken to him? Rashard, I love you on the field, but off it you are a moron.

| Mendenhall deletes his “truther” tweet
Posted by Mike Florio
We’ve been keeping a close eye on the Twitter page of Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall for any further messages addressing his eyebrow-raising comments from Monday regarding Osama bin Laden and 9/11. Though no new messages have appeared, Mendenhall quietly has censored one of his tweets.
Gone into the Internet abyss is the following message, which expresses skepticism regarding the notion that hijacked planes took down the World Trade Center: “We’ll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style.”

| Steelers' Mendenhall responds to critics of Twitter comments
"Rashard Mendenhall wrote what he titled a "clarification" of his Monday comments on Twitter about Osama bin Laden and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He writes that he does not support bin Laden.
Mendenhall cites his religious beliefs in his blog for questioning why people celebrated the death of bin Laden. However, he did not mention in his blog the other comment on Twitter than enraged many people: "We'll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style"

| I keep hearing people refer to Mendenhall as a "deep thinker." Sorry, but having opinions doesn't make you a deep thinker. It just makes you opinionated.  _________________ If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

| Mendenhall's "deep thinking" cost him an endorsement deal. Mendenhall Loses Endorsement Deal - Quote :
- Athletic apparel manufacturer Champion announced Thursday that it had dropped the Pittsburgh Steelers running back after he questioned the celebrations of bid Laden's death and expressed his uncertainty over official accounts of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in New York, suburban Washington and Pennsylvania.
Spokesman Matt Hall told USA Today that the company was "ending our business relationship" with Mendenhall because it didn't believe he "can appropriately represent Champion." Mendenhall had endorsed the company since 2008 and signed a four-year contract with it earlier this year. _________________ Wallace108: Jon, how the hell do you expect any of us to ever follow your posts?
