GRANT STABBED IN ATLANTA

Eight years after an infamous Super Bowl night stabbing in Atlanta, there's been another knife incident involving an NFL player.

This time around, however, the player was on the wrong end of the blade.

According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, Saints defensive end Charles Grant was stabbed in the neck during a Saturday night fight in an Atlanta nightclub. A woman was shot and killed during the melee.

Grant is expected to be okay, but police will want to interview Grant, if they haven't already, regarding the events that ultimately claimed a woman's life.

More details are expected to come in as the day unfolds.

Hope he's ok...

[Thunder&Lightning]

wow ya i hope he is too.

[Jakey]

Man that sounds nasty! I wish him luck!

[Nitschke-Hawk]

I'm sick of hearing about this stuff, I'm sure he didn't start anything but players from tough neighborhoods need to stay out of these places. Go to a club where you know you will be safe.

[Yung Flippa]

That sucks. Hope he gets better. Athletes are seem like they are targets a real lot now a days.

[Beans]

has there ever been good news revolving around a nightclub?

[sodar21]

They probably shouldn't let NFL players go to Atlanta.

[TimD]

get well man... good luck

[SaintsFanForLife]

Man this is a big lost for us I hope he gets better very soon......

[Thunder&Lightning]

Who would want to start a fight with Grant anyway or any NFL player?

[Cashmoney]

Damn thats hardcore. In the neck? I wonder how far the knife went in?

[tylerb929]

A lot of people, they probably see it as an easy way to get money. You start the fight, he ends it, you make out in court. Its a stupid idea, but there are a lot of stupid people out there.

[Bills2083]

Hope he's okay.
Athletes have been targeted a lot recently.

Brett Favre owes us so much...

Who said that????

[Rich Jr]

This may push DE up the list of needs.

[keylime_5]

He must be a tough player if he can take a knife to the neck and be alright. J/K...I hope he's alright, he's a good player.

Oh, and by the way, I dont like to take preaching from someone who takes himself seriously as "The Bay Area Bully" or does that stupid "AKA" crap.

well i hope their familys can recover if thats what you mean, bad **** happens all the time, it just kinda pisses me off the fact that unless ur famous ur life has no meaning. i dont know its just kinda the fact of the area, and how I was raised, so sorry if its annoying but its just my opinion

[Its Ya Boy]

Who said that????

no one, its the fact it says a woman was shot and killed but no respect was show but when Sean Taylor gets shot in killed its a lot of love. Im just sayin its still a life, but its just me, i shouldve thought better before i posted

[andyjo672]

You made it a point to mention that because she was black thats the reason nobody noticed...nobody would notice if i died either, get over it, I'm sure it was news inside of Atlanta but I'm sorry if not everyone from all over the country doesn't feel the need to get a news update about every death in every corner of the country...AKA NOBODY CARES.

[Flyboy]

:(... this... sucks.

i aint gonna lie, she was black? i was just statin the fact that you dont hear much about black people in the news unless its bad as a COMPLETELY different thing, i didnt even know she was black. Im not askin for everyone to go cry in a corner when someone dies cause no one would leave it, im just sayin its always sad when someone dies cause it effects so many people. Its just my opinion so im sorry i ever voiced it.

So you get mad at the news media for perpetuating a stereotype that black people are all in gangs and always causing trouble but you obviously have no problem with rap music doing the EXACT samething. You can't have it both ways buddy.

nah im not mad at the news, its ever where (Cops profile all the time) and really its just annoying. Rappers rap about their Environment so if its about gangs then good for them. Listen id love to talk about this more, but i could really care, it seems like i shouldve never voiced my opinion

[Flyboy]

Great. Nice to see where this thread has headed

[Rich Jr]

It's a sad thing but should we start a thread for the pregnant woman? This one is about CG.

[SaintsFanForLife]

so if we could get back to Charles Grant

He has to be lucky as hell for the knife not to hit anything major.

[JagHombre22]

yea, like the carotid artery....

Get off of it, you don't really give a damn. How about you cry for all those starving children throughout the world too. If you really do care, get out and do something about it, instead of preaching to us on a message board. Sorry if I don't get misty eyed over a person I don't know. There are 100,000+ deaths every day.

Yep, you never here about any good any black people do, but maybe you don't follow politics. In case you haven't heard, one of the frontrunners for the Democratic nomination for president happens to be black...

[someone447]

[QUOTE=Its Ya Boy;875272but when Sean Taylor gets shot in killed its a lot of love.[/QUOTE]

It is a lot of posturing, they think that is the right thing to do. No one really gives a damn about a death unless it affects them. Redskins were more sad they lost a great player than the loss of a life.

not fully black...but that's neither here nor there...

[Staubach12]

Wow, this really blows. Hope he recovers fast...

[diabsoule]

Get this ******* thread back on topic promto.

[BlindSite]

You don't understand much about the media do you?

Its quite simple, high profile people are in the public's interest. When something of note happens in their life, it is news.

News outlets have very small areas of time to give as much information as possible. If the outlet spent time talking about some breezy who copped a bullet instead of a high profile "person of interest" people would flick to another channel or buy another newspaper.

Its a business, its there to make money and deliver what people want. Not to cater to the needs of the very select few. Tell stories no one wants to hear and certainly not to perpetuate an imagined anti-black conspiracy.








I think the security in some of these nightclubs needs to be seriously questioned, even if it leads to profiling or asking attendees to empty out their pockets. After all the crap thats happened (and that's just what filters to my screen) how much gets missed when it can be prevented with a pat down.

[Bills2083]

Here's some good news... (sorry if already posted)

Charles Grant was already released from the hospital.

[neko4]

glad to see he is okay

[GermanSaint]

glad to hear is okay .... i wonder how you get out this fast with a stab in the neck...

but iam also with "Its ya Boy" especially since we knew that grant is ok , we should at least mention a pregnant woman died ( aka a little family) ... how did they relate to each other ? i didnt catch up the whole story , with grant the attacker and the dead woman.

[SaintsFanForLife]

Im glad Grant is out now.......Lucky man

[DaBears9654]

They probably shouldn't let NFL players go to Atlanta.
Should the Falcons move?

This is very unfortunate. I hope he recovers.
