Per PFT:
That something this dumb is newsworthy is kind of shocking. Two friends trash talking each other via text shouldn't really be news, but apparently Bart Scott has nothing else going on in his life. I really hope that Kemo flattens Scott at some point in the game -- he is quickly becoming one of my least favorite players in the NFL.
MENDENHALL TALKS TRASH IN TEXT
Posted by Michael David Smith on September 26, 2008, 2:24 p.m.
Steelers rookie running back Rashard Mendenhall and Ravens rookie running back Ray Rice are friends. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Mendenhall engaged in some good-natured boasting to Rice about the kind of game he thinks he’s going to have on Monday night when the Steelers play the Ravens.
It should also come as no surprise that Rice passed along the boasting to his defensive teammates, who weren’t amused.
Mendenhall told Rice via text message that he’s going to have a big game. Rice passed that message along to linebacker Bart Scott, a man not known for brushing off perceived slights.
“He said later that he was just joking, but it’s too late,” Scott said. “Thanks for the bulletin-board material, rookie.”
Mendenhall, who has 10 carries for 28 yards in limited action this season, will start in place of the injured Willie Parker. Rice has 27 carries for 85 yards so far this season.
