Bill from NYC Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Who on Earth is tough (and crazy) enough to chase an NFL Linebacker out of a bowling alley and into a parking lot? Hard to believe, wouldn't you say? Here. is a picture of the guy being allegedly chased. If this story is even partially true, chalk up another example of the fact that in life, no matter who you are, there is always somebody tougher than you, and to never take a person lightly.

R. Rich Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Living in this area ( we used to live very close to that very bowling alley before we bought our house in 2001), nothing surprises me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Who on Earth is tough (and crazy) enough to chase an NFL Linebacker out of a bowling alley and into a parking lot? 720568[/snapback] Tough enough? The guy had a weapon, how is that tough? And how is the lesson that there's always somebody out there tougher than you and you should be careful? The guy walked away from the confrontation and left the building. Sounds like the right move to me, it's not his fault the idiot followed him with a knife.

Either way, here goes..... If I was the Ravens GM, I would praise this player, and actually hold him up as an example of how to avoid confrontation. For more than 2 decades, I was forced to avoid any and all confrontations in my personal life due to my employment, and know what it is like to walk away. As far as being "tough," I dare say, without ever having met you, that you would be no match for say Takeo (about the same size as this kid) with or without a knife. NFL athletes (except for perhaps Parrish )are conditioned, violent, super-humans. I was trying to point out the irony of CHASING one, in order to fight him. That would, generally speaking, sound like a pretty bad idea to me. How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alg Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I agree Bill. The perp in this story must have been one bad ass to pull it on an NFL linebacker. A regular sized guy would have had his throat removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrite Gal Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I agree Bill. The perp in this story must have been one bad ass to pull it on an NFL linebacker. A regular sized guy would have had his throat removed. 720800[/snapback] Rather than the question being how tough was this guy, the question is probably how drunk was this guy (loaded enough that his judgment was missing and not loaded enough that he was falling down drunk and unable to harm anyone but himself. That and how stupid was he that he apparently took it as a mortal threat deserving death or grievous injury that aomeone bumped into him and probably words were exchanged. Fortunately Darwin has identified a way that such bad asses usually are taken care of, one just hopes he does not take anyone with him or that he is behind the wheel of a car.

Dr. Fong Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 OK I'll ask the obvious question. Has anyone asked Ray Lewis where he was that night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
