John Adams Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I do not appreciate your attitude here. If you want to dispute facts, come at me with facts. If juvenile name calling is the only thing you can bring to the table, there are plenty of Patriot forums you can join. Yeah. You know a lot of facts about this shooting. The kid had it coming to him. Go pat yourself on the back some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taterhill Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Expect that once the facts are known that the shooter was not a total stranger to him, not just a random act. did you ever think that Williams was not the target? there were a bunch of people in the limo...

Cornerville Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 My whole thing is this: If this happened to a NBA player, without knowing the facts...I bet most here would automatically assume that player had it coming to him.... But with a NFL player, the standards are different. THAT is the issue I have. Did Darrent Williams have it coming to him? Who knows.... In a way I sort of do and here is why: When there are people out there who will just ramdonly do a drive buy shooting, that is downright scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilly Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 And like you and so many others know so much when you label a NBA player a thug as well? Please. When have I labeled an NBA player a thug? Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepthefaith Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 did you ever think that Williams was not the target? there were a bunch of people in the limo... That would make it not a random act which is what was reported by ESPN radio last night. It's tragic anyway you look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 If you scroll about 1/4 of the way down the page, you will see a picture of Javon Walker with his shirt covered in blood as he arrived at the Bronco's training facility. They are lucky the situation wasn't worse than what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Really, does any of this matter? Kid got shot, is dead. We can all sit around and say "If that was ME..." but no one really knows the whole story. No one other than Javon Walker and he ain't talking.

JAMIEBUF12 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 The NFL proves yet again it is the most overlooked thug league in sports. Why? Because the media and fans are having too much fun watching watered down mediocre football while tailgating, making 100 dollar parlay bets, and deciding on who to start on one of their 10 fantasy football lineups. So let's trash the NBA because hey, I do not have Melo on my fantasy roster and I do not get blitzed at the Staples Center parking lot for a Lakers game! RIP Darrent. you keep on comparing the nba to the nfl in the thug department.the fact is they were at a party being hosted by the denver nugget players so in a sense there is the thugness aspect from the nba.

Bill from NYC Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Yeah. You know a lot of facts about this shooting. The kid had it coming to him. Go pat yourself on the back some more. Congrats! You are the biggest douchebag that I have ever seen on TBD, and you have earned this award against some tough competition. You are the first person in all of my years here to ever make my ignore list. Before I write your sorry, confused ass off, I will tell you that your posts are rather generic and really add nothing to this board. Your gay crusade on PPP, while obviously heartfelt, was boring and stirred little response. You are a cowardly little weasel, and obviously confused about your own identity. Work things out Big Guy! If you would be kind enough to post your other screen names, I will happily block them too. Your problems are many and deep. Believe it or not, I hope that you can sift through them and acquire some sort of life. Well, I mean that at least as much as I can. I want to feel this way. In any event, go suck another rooster.

Chilly Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I never said DW was Ed. Why don't you go exercise your wrist while staring at your Vince Young poster? There's a reason why the Texans logo is a !@#$ skull. This quote is from you: Which makes me all the more happy that Marv likes 'character' guys who keep out of this stuff. Sure, you didn't say DW was a bad person, just that he wasn't a character guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 The funny thing is that William's previous coach(s) have told/warned him to stop hanging around suspect people and characters... They said he he had "cleaned" it up... Ya... This might be random... I just wonder if this is his past or maybe his present "catching" up with him? Doesn't it always go that as soon as you clean up your act... Then bame... Or did he clean up his act. I feel sorry for him and his family... Things do seem to haunt you. Garbage in is always garbage out. But, given his past dealings with suspect people... Shouldn't HE ( I am saying DW only) have avoided joints and "the scene"?... Kinda like an alchoholic... You just can't go back to social drinking or take a sip... Just my $.02... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on the whole mentality has been around the NFL just like the NBA for AGES... Just today it SEEMS they settle the score with guns... Clubs, strip bars... The whole scene... Back in the day (BFLO that is) it was places like the old Mr.C's (now the Tally-Ho) on Genessee... Past players from the Bills like Lucious Sanford or Jim Haslett didn't lack anything in the "thug factor" and "**** factor". It usually goes both ways... Azzholes on both sides that is... People see the "big, bad football player"... Mix in some alcohol... The "big, bad football player" then tries to assert his position... Now mix in a little more alcohol... Usually things don't end well... Sometimes with guns... Heck even in the past with guns... It is all bout bravado... Money, cars... Chicks and booze... Things have always been getting ugly... This is a tradgedy... They aren't saints either... The NFL will "spin" this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
