      I like the nice clear picture this one paints of the situation, getting all the major relevant facts laid out without a lot of fluff.

    Took until the 3rd paragraph to find out if Ricky was trying to rob someone or if someone was trying to rob him.
    (It was someone trying to rob him)

      My guess is that a lot of people would’ve been surprised if a young guy making first round draft pick money was robbing people.

        I don’t know this particular player, but given other headlines I’ve seen about NFL types, it actually would not surprise me.

          Randy moss assaulted a traffic cop.

          They’ve got too much money, too big an ego, and then we start stacking CTE… yeah. I wouldn’t be shocked to find Bret Farve or what’s-his-name-Roger-something robbing banks.

    Holy fuck. What did he do to the dude that fucking shot him? Like the guy who just tried to kill someone would have to be paralyzed to not try and get away. I wonder if the robber had to fuckin shoot Pearsall out of defense hahahaha
