		<description><![CDATA[Watched this joker since he was over-drafted out of Illinois.  He used to run through big holes against the likes of Purdue and Indiana.  

Guy is immature and selfish.  He reacted to not dressing for the Charger game as one would expect.  It is all about Mendenhall.  

I have not cared if they re-sign him since he first signed.

He has the physical tools for the most part, but mental part is a problem.

See ya round Mendy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“We’ll never know what really happened,” Mendenhall said.  “I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style.”

Mendenhall also expresses sympathy for bin Laden.  “What kind of person celebrates death?” Mendenhall says.  “It’s amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak.  We’ve only heard one side.”

The first statement I have no problem with. Believe what you want. The second one is ignorant, idiotic and inexcusable. 

Apparently this kid has more issues going on than just his declining performance and fumbling problems. Ever since the SB against the Pack and his fumble killed their momentum and cost them a chance to win he hasn&#039;t been the same.  Now his attitude is going to cost him his job. 

Good riddance. 
Later, hoss.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I get that these are different situations, but why are so many people pissed about Jacobs being suspended, but, generally supportive about this move. As far as I can tell, these are similar situations. Both backs are unhappy in their current playing situations and either made comments or performed actions that proved detrimental to their respective teams. Both players deserve suspensions. And yet, the Niners get all the hate.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#039;s no place on one of the best organizations in professional sports for someone who decides he&#039;s better than the team.

His performance had been fading the past couple seasons anyway, and with Dwyer and Rainey, we&#039;ve got plenty of youth at that position (Redman as well).

Good luck Rashard.  Don&#039;t let that door hit you as you leave Heinz Field, and good luck getting another team to put up with your childish antics.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mendenhall fumbled away Super Bowl XLV against Green Bay, and he&#039;s been a Fumble Factory in many other crucial instances.

Some of Mendenhall&#039;s issues include the following.  He puts the rock on the turf way too much.  Mendy gave up 2 fumbles on a mere 4 carries in his last game he suited up.  And anyone from Steeler Nation will recall he fumbled a way our chance to take the lead in Super Bowl XLV against the Packers.  Not good.

Mendy also somehow thinks dancing around laterally as the pursuit arrives enhances his chances of making a productive carry.  It doesn&#039;t.  Hit the hole hard like players such as Adrian Peterson, Doug Martin, Alfred Morris and Ray Rice do.

Mendenhall has been known to have critical concentration lapses, and also drops easy passes with no one near him on checkdowns --- killing drives.

Finally, Mendenhall&#039;s attitude - and willingness to voice it - can give rise to some friction too.  

In the current embroilment, this is speculation - but it seems as though Mendenhall&#039;s abysmal fumbling issues created a benching that likely exacerbated another speak-his-mind  attitude flare-up, further leading to his earning a spot further down on Tomlin&#039;s Poop List.]]></description>

Bad mouth the US after the killing of Bin Laden and that’s A-OK with the Steelers. Bad mouth the Rooneys and you get suspended.
-------------------------------------------------
He didn&#039;t bad-mouth the US--he made an idiotic conspiracy-theory comment about 9/11. I didn&#039;t like it either, but if tweeting stupid political comments could get people fired, unemployment would be 75 percent. And he didn&#039;t get suspended for bad-mouthing the Rooneys; he got suspended for skipping a game.

But why should the facts get in the way of you slamming the Rooneys?]]></description>

What happened to this guy? Ever since he fumbled away the momentum in the Super Bowl that the Steelers were on the verge of taking control of, it’s been all down hill.

...I couldn&#039;t agree more. Get rid of him, finally, and shut the door on the Steelers 2008 draft class. Oh wait, we still have Ryan Mundy, smh!]]></description>
