He signed with San Diego as a free agent in April after not being selected in the 2009 draft.
Brinkley reportedly was driving in the Philly suburb of
The gunman then fled in a waiting car.
Brinkley was taken to a local hospital. His condition isn't known.
The former West Catholic High School star, who broke the Philly prep school records of Kevin Jones, played college football at Syracuse.
Anyone know the whereabouts of Marvin Harrison??
LOL Tiger, I had the same thought exactly!
A team of Iranian parasailers were seen leaving the crime in a black Escalade..
I guess batteries aren't sufficient for Philly fans anymore?
Montco = Abbreviation for Montgomery County.
Nice tiger, that gave a laugh. I've only been in that area a couple times, but it doesn't seem like the kind of place that Brinkley would go if he was getting himself in trouble.
Robbery gone wrong?
AKA the dirty side. But not as bad as Delco.
Montco is not a town - it's short for Montgomery County.
Can we please get handguns off the street now?
Did anyone else read that as "Christie Brinkley shot in Philly"? I was really worried until I read the article.
This guy owed the Reed boys $$$ for pills.
Reads like a set-up... Too bad for him,hope its not serious.
Violence is every damn day.Protect yourself the best way u can.
Someone shot in Philly....say it ain't so. That city is a toilet.
HYPE- YOUR MOTHERS MOUTH IS MY PERSONAL TOILET
Maybe nine of ten of the foregoing comments are jokes - in the face of still another player encountering gun-related violence.
Not hard to see that life - just being alive - isn't valued much anymore. This will continue as long as we continue to accept it. At some point, too soon, such stories won't even be worthy of a headline.
Maybe the League will create a special draft category - "Spares" - so they can storehouse all-purpose players for when somebody goes down from a bullet.

I don't think Cheltenham is in Montco. I thought it was still Philadelphia county. Anyways, Cheltenhan is actually a OKAY area, this must have been organized (perhaps Marvins gang). I lived in Philly, Delco and Montco - liked all of them. But would prefer Montco anyday to live permanently. Matter of fact my house I lived in during my Montco years was up the road from Andy Reed.
I am not shocked to see something like this in Philly, the place is a shithole (I have been there before on buisness)
Fin - Cheltenham is Montco and actually, most of it is not that bad (the further you move away from the city line of Cheltenham Ave). Hope this dude is OK.
Philly is just like every other big city which are s-holes where the residents accept shootings as normal behavior.
^^ your an idiot.. have you ever been to Philly, NY or LA?? their all great cities..
tons o' guns everybody's getting strapped
tons o' guns got to watch the way you act
tons o' guns real easy to get
tons o' guns bringing nothing but death
tons o' guns are in the streets nowadays
it's big money and you know crime pays
check your nearest overpopulated ghetto
they greet you with a pistol not trying to say hello
mad kids packed 'cos the neighbourhood's like that
want some shit that's fat catch a victim do a stick
kids pulling triggers, (brothers) killing (brothers)
five-o they sit and wait and tally death-toll figures
it's crazy there ain't no time to really chill
jealous motherfuckers always want to act ill
22's 25's 44's 45's
mack elevens ak's taking mad lives
what the fuck you gonna do in a situation
it's like you need to have steel just to feel relaxation
tons o' guns

Cheltenham def has its bad spots, its right on the border of Montco and North Philly. The troubling part is it seems that he was targeted if someone is just gonna walk up and gun him down.
Guns =/= the problem
Knuckleheads & thugs = the problem
Also--who the hell are these "Reed" people everyone is talking about?
And are they any relation to Andy REID?
Philly fans are passionate...if only they were passionate about their literacy.
Doomsday, always good to see some GangStarr/Guru lyrics. WHO GOT GUNZ!?!
Read an account (don't remember the site...sorry) that he was going to pick up his sister, or female cousin, who had a fight with her boyfriend. It's assumed that the boyfriend didn't know that Brinkley was a relative, and attacked him thinking he was some guy moving in on his girl.
