What Rashard Mendenhall Has Been Up To Lately

Perhaps this thread belongs in the politics forum, as we're increasing veering away from football talk, as it relates to Mendenhall.

You experience PTSD by life-threatening trauma caused by life-threatening situations, period point blank. Our brother's here who have served in the military and in war I'm sure can attest to that. It's a psychological trauma that has nothing to do with actual damage caused to the brain that may be classified as CTE.

In short, you don't get PTSD by playing football.
 
It should have never came down to a RB fumble. Our coaching failed to adjust to the multiple injuries the Packer's defense sustained in that game. Why didn't we exploit those weaknesses as they occured? Mendi should have never fumbled but our coaching let us down just as much but probably more. That should have been a victory.





Salute the nation

You have to be kidding. I was giving him the benefit of the moron. If he really means PTSD from playing football, and you really mean PTSD from playing football, then you are both ******* ********. It isn't PTSD. For ****'s sake, what kind of ******* are we tolerating these days. We need a coach like this -

 
I don/t understand what I am looking at in the original post.
I am probably suffering from something other than PTSD.

Yeah you might want to look up the definition of PTSD because yours is incorrect

why don't you go ahead and supply this thread with the correct definition and save us the time?
 
There are a lot of words you could use to describe Mendenhall's play, but violent certainly isn't one of them. If the guy has anger issues, I think he probably had them before being introduced to the game of football.
 
Following AB's posting of dumbass irresponsible acts to get attention?
Is Mendenhall trying to get a gig with the Raiders?

It's getting more and more difficult to keep up with the current definition of words and phrases.

George Carlin did a great monologue about this, but I can't pull it up with my piece of crap iPad.

I can only take Mendenhall at his word, he did say PTSD. I cheered for him as a Steeler, and if he is having psychological issues, I truly hope he receives the care he needs, but it diminishes our military veterans who do suffer from this. And that was the point of my first response.
 
Broken mirror....7 years of bad luck coming for Rashard. **** he thought his life was crap before....

Well as long as it's on Google, it must be true.

The guy defined PTSD as someone having to have experienced "life threatening trauma" that is just simply not true in any definition of PTSD anywhere. You can experience PTSD without having been in the situation itself for crying out loud.

A diagnosis of PTSD requires exposure to an upsetting traumatic event. However, exposure could be indirect rather than first hand. For example, PTSD could occur in an individual learning about the violent death of a close family. It can also occur as a result of repeated exposure to horrible details of trauma such as police officers exposed to details of child abuse cases.

Mendenhall obviously has issues he is dealing with to be upset with him because he says it is PTSD is pretty ludicrous considering no one knows what he has gone through or is dealing with.

PTSD comes in many forms, just because it is more prevalent in people coming from a Military background shouldn't negate the impact it may have on the lives of people in other professions.

First off, there's no way in he'll he could have held on to that ball.
He was creamed almost the instant he received the handoff.

Secondly, regardless of his political views - He WAS a good back. He pulled over a thousand yards with an online that was not exceptional by any means. Todd Turnstile Fordham, anyone?
 
I'm praying for the guy and his family. I think PTSD can come from 'anything' that causes trauma; but, that's my opinion...we're all different.
