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.

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.

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.

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

The city is built in to a corner at the confluence of the allegheny and the mon. The one way streets can be frustrating but there really is no other way. You also need to remind yourself that you are from cleveland, calling pittsburgh a pisshole is comical.

[miktoxic]

so if i'm from NYC i guess i can call pissburgh a shithole correct?
