McFadden's mom doesn't like NY
Posted: Friday April 25, 2008 07:03AM ET
What do Darren McFadden's mom and Rudy Giuliani have in common? They both have strong feelings about New York. He loves it. She can't stand it. "I hate New York; it's too big," said Mini Muhammad, whose son is generally regarded as the top running back in this weekend's NFL draft and is coveted by the New York Jets, who pick sixth. What's more, McFadden's mom doesn't necessarily want to see him wind up on the West Coast either, where the Oakland Raiders are eyeing him for the fourth pick. She said she hates California for the same reason: Too big. Given her druthers, Muhammad would love to see her son, a former Arkansas star, land closer to their home in Little Rock. "The Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, whatever team they've got there in Tennessee," she said while attending a luncheon at Chelsea Piers for the top draft prospects. "But we want what's good for him, whatever they say. I'd rather particularly he'd go to Dallas, I really do."

Report Offensive CommentGeez, she's sure helping his case, huh? Your son has some character issues, so let everyone know he's also got a crazy mother. Man, his price just rises every day, doesn't it?

Oh My.
Somewhere, The Ayatollah is rolling in his shroud.
Of course you want to see him in Dallas. Thats where ALL the players with "issues" go. Sooner or later the new stadium will be renamed Dallas Rehab Center

Report Offensive CommentPerhaps whichever team drafts him will be nice enough to move all of their home games to Little Rock or Fayetteville? Gotta keep the rookies (and their mothers) happy.
Does she not realize what kind of money her son is about to make? He goes wherever they effen tell him. If he doesn't like it then he can just stay broke and at home.
BTW, I wonder how many spots in the draft (and, in turn, how much money) her comments just cost him? I would hazard to guess way more than she's ever seen in her lifetime so far.

Report Offensive CommentWhen you live in Arkansas, everything seems too big (except TX). Evidently, she wasn't worried when he was having illegitimate children.
