PrintNot a Steelers fan, just mildly miffed at all the high-profile robberies in 'my' city. Doesn't look good.
Star University of Illinois running back and recent Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick Rashard Mendenhall was robbed at gunpoint along the Chicago lakefront early Monday morning, police and a relative said.
A male and a female were robbed around 2 a.m. Monday by two offenders near 39th Street and Lake Shore Drive, said police spokesman John Mirabelli. Nobody was hurt in the incident, and no one is in custody for the armed robbery, Mirabelli said.
Mendenhall's mother, Sybil, confirmed that her son had been robbed at that location Monday morning and that the robbers had taken his wallet and cell phone.
"He didn't get hit or anything, he didn't get hurt or anything," Sybil Mendenhall said Monday afternoon. "He's fine."

Move to the BUrgh already Rashard!
Thanks for sharing this. Scary. Glad nothing drastic happened.
Second bit of bad news on Mendenhall
I saw someone on here say that he got hurt the first day of mini-camp. Nothing serious, IIRC, but I don’t want to be hearing bad news about our new picks. Glad it wasn’t really bad this time, either.

Rashard
He pulled a hamstring the first practice at mini camp and now this. Not his fault but this guy better be the real deal and not Walter Abercrombie.
