Saints DE Charles Grant stabbed in the neck...
Quote:
POSTED 11:54 a.m. EST, February 3, 2008
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...

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
