goldengreek 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2007 I love how all the press comes out after the game that he was such a good boy. Just a saint, an angel he was. Helped little old ladies cross the street and volunteered down at the YMCA on his nights off. Add that with a touch of astonishment that it could happen to this clean cut little boy and it makes it all very puke worthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goldengreek 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2007 This was posted by someone else on a chicago message board I frequent on November 23 "Whats with the Denver fucking asshole flashing gang signs after he makes an interception. Darrent Williams, on the sidleines after the play "Keep picking on me" and then flashing his fucking gang sign. "Fucking thug. I predict he gets shot some time very soon." "It was in the 4th quarter on Greens pick along the sidelines. They had a camera along the backside of the bench and he was popping off..."Keep picking on me Keep picking on me"(alluding to the fact that they werent throwing to Champs side of coverage and only at him) then he saw the camera and flashed his little gang sign as it cut to commercial. Im going to write the NFL and get his assed fined, I hope." http://www.getbentchicago.com/forums...c,27924.0.html you are really an ignorant fuck Why am I an ignorant fuck???!!! Someone predicted this guy would get shoy a month and a half before it happened. I just thouht tht was pretty eerie and posted about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2007 It obviously would have been much bigger news were that the case. From stereogum, among about 30 other sites: We wanted to post a couple of nice and gossipy items for ya to peruse while you spend the night listening to Menomena -- but The Killers assassination attempt wasn't legit! (A Brandon Flowers was wounded during the same drive-by that took Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams life early New Year's Day, but CBS reports that Williams's mom identified Flowers as Darrent's visiting high school friend.)

No, it was just that he was a person who made wrong decisions earlier in his life, and was well on the way to putting that behind him and improving his life. I doubt that people would say the same things about other players, it's not like they make this stuff up or anything, so you can kindly go fuck yourself.

Mik 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2007 What would Darrent Williams, Javon Walker, and Brandon Flowers of the Killers even talk about? Do you think the Killers even watch sports? Do you think that the Broncos have even heard any of their songs? I knew there was a reason I saw that little tidbit of information nowhere else but here.

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted January 4, 2007 It was the same with Bryan Pata, model scholar athlete from "The U" after his death. The media will always do that. But, it's just because nobody deserves to die that young. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest "Go, Mordecai!" Report post Posted January 4, 2007 This makes two shady football-related murders in less than a month, if you count Tank Johnson's bodyguard/hanger-on. What's it going to take for these knuckleheads to finally get the picture and stay out of trouble? Why was David Stern universally mocked for saying "keep your guns at home" to NBA players? He's no dummy. Don't they know how many lives and careers they're fucking over with their dumbshit lifestyles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's no dummy. Don't they know how many lives and careers they're fucking over with their dumbshit lifestyles? Well....they did get shot. They didn't shoot anyone. I think that point that some of the NBA guys, alot of the MLB guys and some NFL guys are making is that them having money makes them a target. Of course we have yet to see the case where athlete shoots armed robbers. But there are plenty of cases like with Julius Hodge and Andre Blathe(however you say that guys name from the Wizards) were shot for what it seems like having nice cars. People can say all this "their lifestyles" shit, and Tank Johnson and his artillery is the exception because he definately was a dumbshit, but people are pretending that these players are reckless because they go out to clubs to have a good time. Thats just not fair. this dude went to Kenyon Martins birthday party at a club and got shot to death. Nothing in those actions say anything about his lifestyle causing it. Unless we are pretending that the night club industry doesn't exist and that the vast majority of us have all been in the clubs, especially around age 22. If they find out something like him pulling a gun on someone earlier or something of the like, then fine, talk about how his lifestyle might have contributed to it. But going to a party doesn't suggest a lifestyle to lead to getting shot to death. And on another note, I think saying "fuck you" at the end of a good point doesn't really count as a flame. Just saying fuck you would, but calling someone stupid, then pointing out why they were stupid and fuck your dumbass point seems like a pretty legit post to me. Just my two cents.
