Rashard Mendenhall: 9/11 Truther

Not only that, but Stepnoski retired about 10 years ago.

Anyway, centers do get their heads banged a lot. Those helmets help only so much.

Well, I'm sure he still hangs out in the locker room, taking donations for the Truth, and showering with the guys. :D
 
The DVE Morning Show in Pittsburgh had a retired Navy SEAL on the air today. He's a former member of the same team that took out OBL on Sunday.

At the end of the interview he asked about Mendenhall and then tore into him for a short time, offering to have a face-to-face talk with Mendenhall if is he wanted one.

Why would multiple sources over a number of years all say that Bin Laden had serious kidney problems and was seen in hospitals on dialysis machines?

Comparing the two is apples and oranges.

No it's not. Highlighting the part you seem determined to ignore.

Looks like Mendenhall's comments cost him more than he thought

Earlier this week, Rashard Mendenhall(notes), who endorses Champion products, expressed personal comments and opinions regarding Osama bin Laden and the September 11 terrorist attacks that were inconsistent with the values of the Champion brand and with which we strongly disagreed. In light of these comments, Champion was obliged to conduct a business assessment to determine whether Mr. Mendenhall could continue to effectively communicate on behalf of and represent Champion with consumers. While we respect Mr. Mendenhall's right to express sincere thoughts regarding potentially controversial topics, we no longer believe that Mr. Mendenhall can appropriately represent Champion and we have notified Mr. Mendenhall that we are ending our business relationship.

Interesting. The idea of him losing a product endorsement didn't even cross my mind, mostly because I wasn't even aware that he had any endorsements (even local ones).
 
I don't believe he should be penalized by the team or the league for political statements having nothing to do with football. He has a right to speak his mind except in areas where he's under contract not to.

However, losing endorsements is a different matter. The client has every right (barring any contractual obligation otherwise) to terminate the deal for any reason they see fit, and making public statements likely to be regarded by the vast majority of the client's customers as anti-American is certainly an understandable reason.

Respectfully,
Myriad

His 3 wives who were present when he got 'double tapped' seem to be witnesses to the fact that up to that moment he was very much alive

Anything is possible, however it's highly unlikely. Why would multiple people over a number of years mistake seeing Bin Laden in hospitals? Time Magazine reported US government sources when they reported on his kidney issues.

Again, if multiple sources can be wrong, why are you so sure they aren't regarding OBL's assassination? There's a hell of a lot more motive to contrive that story than to do so regarding his health issues.

Did you ever follow up on your earlier failure sport, where I explained that the original lie was based on one wrong story and OSAMA BIN LADEN and now AL QUAEDA itself has shown to be a lie?

Keep posting ya goof, no body cares about your lies.

the US government, which has been known to lie to the American people time and time again.

This is funny coming from a guy in a cult that does nothing but lie and try to convince everyone to believe their lies.

Sounds like the old pot pointing the finger at the kettle again...

Wow. Called a liar twice in a row by two different posters. Please highlight my lies.

wowsers..

so then Al Q is wrong to say that the US just killed bin laden, right?

http://www.khaleejtimes.com/display...ational_May289.xml&section=international&col=


Soon after Obama’s announcement, the Shumukh al-Islam forum, which had been a conduit for Al-Qaeda announcements, had asked users to await confirmation of his death, but many had posted threats against the US to avenge the killing.

The latest statement promised that America and those who live in the US “will never enjoy security until our people in Palestine enjoy it.”

The formal Qaeda statement came four days after the Al-Qaeda branch in bin Laden’s ancestral home of Yemen said they had confirmation through their contacts in Pakistan that he had been killed.

Health issues != dropped dead years ago.

Because confusion around events like this is perfectly normal. It took a while to pull together a unified account on 9/11, which took place with thousands of witnesses in the middle of two of the busiest cities in the US. A covert op in a foreign country with only a small number of people privy to what happened? Papers are going to publish anything even vaguely credible.

There's a hell of a lot more motive to contrive that story than to do so regarding his health issues.

It's not the motive I'm concerned about. It's the means and opportunity, neither of which have been proven to any significant degree by Truthers.

I was on the fence about using Mendy as one of two keepers for next year in my FFL money league. This makes the decision easier. Poor Steeler fans. First Roethlisberger and now Mendenhall.

Well, Ben quickly repaired his image (it's amazing how quickly fans forgive a few "transgressions" when you're winning), and I'm sure Mendenhall can do the same. All it will take is a big game during week 1. Then again, if he ends up having a less than stellar first few games, fans will be saying, "we should have traded that terrorist sympathizer in the off-season".

Welcome to Steeler Country! :D

So true. And since I'm cutting him loose in FFL, he'll probably go off for about 1800 yards and 20 scores next year. :D
