Re: brandon banks injured at dc nightclub
NFL players are HUGE targets when they go to clubs. Both for good and bad reasons. I remember the old Raiders center "Barrett Robins" use to hang out at a local sports bar where I live. He would just stand in the middle of the dance floor with 2 beers smiling from cheek to cheek. And once people caught wind of who he actually was, people would swarm him for autographs, 30+ year old guys, who would become infuriated whenever he turned down their autograph requests. He had something against signing autographs, but he would be more than happy to buy you a beer instead.
Eventhough he wasn't there to pick up on women like a lot of the young players are, however girls still swarmed the guy. And the funny thing was, he would dress in an old t shirt, old levi's, and looked like he was a plummer, not a multi-millionaire center. That didn't stop the girls from flocking, because they knew his money was long.
A lot of guys would get mad, because the girls they wanted attention from would shower Barrett with the attention. But he was to big to for anyone to say something to. So he never had problems. However the potential and jealousy were definitely there.
