Not trying to freak anyone out...but I have heard that Mendenhall broke his forearm

[BlastFurnace]

So far, it is a rumor, but I've read this rumor on 3 different boards. So far, nothing on any news source. Heard it was being discussed on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

Until I see a link or a valid news source reporting this, I'll believe it when I see it.


Mark Madden is reporting the "rumor"

Did he put his 5 pizzas and 6 dozen of Krispy Kremes down long enough to report that rumor? :pig: :lol: If that tub-o-lard told me the sky was blue, I'd actually have to look up to make sure it was.

Thank God the rumor is unfounded.

Per KDKA website:

Rashard Mendenhall Undergoing Tests On Arm

KDKA-TV Sports has learned that running back Rashard Mendenhall is undergoing tests on his arm.

For the last hour, there have been rumors that Mendenhall broke his arm, but there's no confirmation of that.

KDKA's Jory Rand will have more in the sports report.

Stay with KDKA for the latest developments.

Ryan Clark just tweeted "we did not practice in pads today so if he broke his arm, he did'nt do it at practice"

[HometownGal]

I'm turning on KDKA right now and will report back.

[polamalubeast]

Mendenhall rumor false? Broken forearm? ... His arm is as broken as Revis' deal is signed. Mendenhall playing Sunday night

[stillers4me]

They mentioned it on Serius as a rumor.

[stillers4me]

Normally I would post this min the tweets thread but thought this time it should go here.

Rumor going around that Rashard Mendenhall broke his arm. NOT TRUE!

[HometownGal]

Jory Rand just reported on KDKA that the rumor with regard to Mendy having a broken arm are NOT TRUE. However, Mendy DID have some tests run on his arm today and those tests must have come out clear as he is expected to play Sunday night against the Broncs.

So - we can all breathe again. :chuckle: :thumbsup:

lol, the first comments in the "article" cracked me up. So there are people that actually use bleachereport as their main sports news source and believe in what they write?

hilarious!

glad Mendy's ok. I'm looking forward to him having a good game this sunday. Hasn't gotten much of a chance to run this preseason. He and the oline, mostly the oline, have to shake off some rust before september 12

More like frightening. And then there are others who take the words of the likes of Ken Laird and Bouchette on Twitter as irrefutable gospel and feel the FO does nothing but spout misinformation and lies. They're almost as bad.

[steelpride12]

Oh now everyone attack Blast for the bullshit report, hehe Ok Ok he can slip this time. JK.

[tube517]

As soon as I saw "Mark Madden" I knew it was BS. I just posted the first article that mentioned it but as I said until I see a legit news organization reporting it, then I would have believed it.


Did he put his 5 pizzas and 6 dozen of Krispy Kremes down long enough to report that rumor? :pig: :lol: If that tub-o-lard told me the sky was blue, I'd actually have to look up to make sure it was.

:lol: You know, its better if you don't hold it in! Get all your feelings about him off your chest! :chuckle:
When I first starting hanging out with ya'll, I didn't know any of the actual Pittsburgh personalities that commentate on the Steelers, and couldn't understand how so many people disliked someone. Then, I started reading some of what Madden actually wrote- and heard him talking about the illegality of the immaculate reception.

My conclusion: The guy is an utter ass- and I completely understand how others feel about him!

[SteelCityMan786]

Confirmed wrong by Jory Rand tonight on KDKA

[JayC]

not surprised if it really was fat madden who started this rumor, he is just despicable

[steeldevil]

Seriously, I'm glad this rumor was :bs:. That would be the last thing, besides a certain long haired Tazmanian devil coming up injured again, that we would need right now.

[Texasteel]

When I first read this I could almost hear the coach saying,"Drop that ball just one more time, and I'll"

[cold-hard-steel]

It would have sucked were it true,but then we would have someone else to step up.Not sure who,but i'm sure someone would step up their game.
