One prime example of the ineptitude which currently prevails at many schools is Ron Harmon, a former running back for the University of Iowa. During his days as a "student athlete," Harmon’s course load included courses such as bowling, billiards and watercolor painting. While there is nothing wrong with taking courses such as these for diversion in order to broaden your horizons, it is utterly ridiculous to build a course study around them as Harmon did while pursuing a degree in physical education—which he did not manage to finish. Another example is Dexter Manley, a former defensive end for the Washington Redskins, who left Oklahoma State University after four years illiterate, unable even to read about his accolades in the sports page on Monday morning. I do respect Manley for admitting his problem and going back to school to learn to read; however, his case is a pitiful reflection of the "education" athletes receive at far too many institutions. Unfortunately the only thing separating Harmon and Manley from many scholar athletes is talent; they possessed enough to go on—most do not.

Apparently Mendenhall does.

Thing is, they're not famous and broadcasting it on Twitter.
Honestly, I *think* Rashard meant what otrap and some others on there meant but he didn't express it clearly like they did. Still, HE is an idiot for posting his opinion on such a topic.

The Steelers were mentioned bc although every team employs those types of individuals the Steelers (fanbase, at least) would like everyone to believe they are above that. But as more of their players turn out to be moronic thugs we see that isn't really the case. Pittsburgh Steelers=frauds.killer_ewok;758056 wrote:Stupid ass comments. Sadly, he's not the only American who feels that way. I've seen other comments on Facebook pages saying similar things. There is no other side to hear. The guy was a fucking extremist murdering fuckhead.....and I'm glad he's dead.
That being said, I'll still be rooting for #34 on Sundays. I'd be willing to bet that other players in the league, maybe even one on your team, feels that way too. Fuck their opinions.....I'm rooting for their production on the field.
I think teams are taking more risks on players with character issues now and it's being excused and this is just a shitty opinion, not a crime. I don't think NFL players will care enough to try to take out his knees. LOL
LMAO at ahab's post....I'd say every team in the NFL has druggies (weed smokers) and adulterers on it so not sure why those were mentioned as if they're unique to the Steelers. That's absurd.
