BUT where are you at that puts you in that situation and why?

hell if i had millions i wouldn't even go out. i'd have the party at my house, invitation only, security guards deep.

just DUMB moves by these guys.

sure he shouldn't have to worry about such things but in today's society you do, even if you don't have millions of dollars. from what tomlin said he was on the 'south' side (i guess that's equiv to cleveland's east side) which means you shouldn't be there unless you are looking for drugs, prostitutes or going to some ghetto-ass club.

Mik that's stupid. People are social animals. Rich, poor, whatever. I sure as hell wouldn't live like a damn hermit with a bunch of security and you fellas are Pittsburgh clueless. The Southside is NOT a bad area. There are a TON of bars but it's a well developed, heavily frequented area by all age groups. However at night because of the massive amount of bars, over 100 trouble can stir up. It's no where CLOSE to the east side of Cleveland. I've also never seen a prostitute down there lol. Stop trying to assume what went down and do some research on the area. Geez fellas.

You're not listening to what I'm saying here dude. I'm not saying these guys were best buddies or anything. A lot of times when these guys get robbed it's soon after flashing money and stuff at a club or party. You can say I'm wrong here but the stats speak for themselves. A vast majority of the time people had some interaction with the guys who robbed him/her.

Or they don't. 95% of thefts are crimes of opertunity. Theifs always go for the easy money when they decide to steal. Are they going to break into an equally nice car down the streat when they don't have the keys or are they going to jump the guy standing outside of he's vehicle? Money has nothing to do with it.

[miktoxic]

but you guys don't STILL get it. how come the biggest stars in all sports don't get caught in those situations?

1. they have prudent people watching over them that will advise them against putting themselves 'out there' and if the star decided to do so anyway would flock him like a goose landing.

2. the biggest stars know that every move they make will be caught on camera by someone somewhere and be posted all over the web in seconds that something happens.

3. sure you don't have to have money to get jacked but that's why you stay away from 'jackville'.

duh.

Let's also keep in mind this wasn't outside a bar or a club. He was standing outside his house.

When the bars let out there is the occasional riff raff, but it's a nice area. Hell there are a lot of university students living there as well. I'm still trying to figure out why the hell you'd try and rob a 6 foot 7 dude, even with 4 people. Either way he was fortunate to not be seriously injured.

I suspect that of those 4 guys, one of them probably had a gun, as well as some of them having knives.

And if David can kill 9 foot tall Goliath with a slingshot and a rock, do you think a guy with Mr. .38 Special is going to care if the dude he is robbing is 6'7 or 5'7 ?

I agree and the one guy did have a gun. He held Adams at gun point, i just don't think even with a gun I'd roll up on a dude that's 6 foot 7 and pretty clearly a professional athlete aka not just 6'7 but fvcking huge. The guy they arrested looks like a drug head so with that in mind druggies in need of a fix don't give a damn about sh.it else.

[jrb12711]

I feel like a broken record here but I'll try one more time. I'm not saying he was doing a damn thing at his car. I'm not saying he did or did not do anything to deserve it. I'm not saying he made it rain in a strip club and bought out the place. I'm not saying these guys were friends or actually knew each other. Hell, I'm not even saying I'm right or wrong. I'm saying a good amount of the time these pro athletes carry a lot of cash with them and order really nice stuff at local bars or restaurants, and people notice it even if it's not 'flashy'. It's the same reason they tell anyone to not carry around wads of cash or fancy jewelry, but pro athletes do.

Bottom line: Calm down, I liked Mike Adams at OSU and hope he recovers. I just will be interested to hear if they saw him in such a manner or if it was a crime of opportunity.

Well, even at 6'7" the gun is the great equalizer....or unequalizer. You heard the old saying....don't bring a knife to a gunfight? Well, despite the movies, it is far more often that the guy with the bigger weapon wins the fight.

I think Adams will be fine from all reports. So, that is good. But it won't help him from being a not very good OT.

Are you telling stories again? its pittsburgh, the whole place is a ghetto.

lets see what the police report says...

Pittsburgh police wrote in a criminal complaint that Mr. Adams left Cambod-Ican Kitchen at 17th and East Carson streets shortly before 3 a.m. on Sunday when three men approached him. He said Mr. Paranay told him his black Ford F-150 Raptor was a nice truck and Mr. Means said "Gimme your car."

Mr. Adams told Mr. Means, "You aren't going to shoot me on the street in front of people."

Mr. Means responded, "I want your car or I'll shoot you in the face and kill you in front of everyone," according to the complaint.

Don't you know who you are questioning? Vagipoon is Mr. LeBeau's personnel assistant, there is nothing, absolutely nothing Steelers related that he doesn't know and speak about with 100% truthful, honest conviction. Why would he elaborate on this story? It's not like he's helping Mr. Adams hide some happy weed you know. Continue to convert these heathen Brownies to the Steelers way oh great Vagipoon.

All reports are that he will be OK, and that he still sucks. So, all of us can be happy. Goodnight.

[miktoxic]

AND the only reason i pointed out the 'south' side of pitt was because coach tomlin spoke upon it in his interview when asked upon it.

i don't know pittsburgh from a hole in the ground. not saying it's bad or good. really don't care. just going on what your steeler's coach said.

[choco]

Bag is right in that the south side is THE bar neighborhood of Pitt....just been going to hell as of late for various reasons. Lots of shit to do.....I liked the bottle shops and dive bars there, chupkas, smokin joes, fatheads. But shit happens early morning when 20 blocks of bar drunks hit the streets. It is known as a crime of opportunity city area as a result. Violent crimes are actually down, petty thefts and assaults are way up. Not sure about Adams specifically, but I've seen some crazy shit go on in the south side.

Anyplace that has a Cambodian kitchen is a ghetto-y area.

[Kosar_For_President]

As much as I hate the Steelers never want anything like this to happen. Hope for a great recovery.

[nickers]
