Halfback Rashard Mendenhall, the Steelers' first-round draft choice, was robbed at gunpoint while walking with a female friend along Chicago's lakefront early yesterday morning, according to the Chicago police and Mendenhall's agent, Mike McCartney. Neither Mendenhall, 20, nor his friend, was hurt during the robbery in which his wallet and cell phone were stolen, according to McCartney, who said Mendenhall didn't try to resist the robbery.

I am just glad he's okay.

May 6, 2008  06:43 AM ET

I'm glad he is okay too but, I think that was a welcome to Chicago from the criminals.

May 6, 2008  07:00 AM ET

Where was Marvin Harrison at this particular time?

May 6, 2008  07:03 AM ET

What a welcome. Hope the police are able to track down the thief.

I bet he's wishing the Cowboys took him now!

Man, what is UP with Chicago these days?

May 6, 2008  07:53 AM ET

Wishes the Cowboys took him? The Cowboys would be doing an "America's Most Wanted" a few special releases to the Dallas media, a NFL channel show, Jones on several spots tring to recruit the robbers, a milk bottle campaign looking for the perps, a Dr. Phil show for poor traumatized Rashard, private jet rides for family members of the victim's family with special press accommodations...

Yeah, because in Dallas he's more likely to be robbed at gunpoint in the locker room.

May 6, 2008  08:37 AM ET

If he had an armor piercing hand gun like Harrison, this kind of stuff just would not happen..got to learn from the veterans of the league..

Yet another pointless, moronic Truth and Rumor thread initiated by the brain-dead staff at FN...

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico

But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
for me
for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me

Anyway the wind blows...

Hey. Trainwreck only mentioned the Cowgirls cuz they almost drafted this plater. His wise crack would have worked out just as well had the Bengals tried to draft him.

"Yeah, because in..." Cinncinati "he's more likely to be robbed at gunpoint in the locker room."

See....works just as well for any team that drafts scummy players with character issues.

So you're saying you DO suffer from p enis envy.....

May 6, 2008  10:12 AM ET

Wow now everyone wants to go to chicago

May 6, 2008  10:44 AM ET

Man, Yankee fans killing Red Sox fans and now Chicago criminals robbing NFL draftees, Chicago and NY are setting great examples there for the rest of the country.

Of course, if the robber turns out to be Mark Cuban raising funds to buy the Cubs, I will apologize...maybe.

Welcome to the NFL. Now buy a flashy car and dress like Michael Irvin so everyone will recognize you, buy a house with no security & carry a couple grand at all times so you're a profitable target.

I feel so bad for him. All that money and a minor robbery is news?
