Eagles DE Jerome McDougle shot, critically hurt in Miami robbery

MIAMI (AP) -- Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Jerome McDougle was shot in the stomach by armed robbers, police said Friday. The team said he was in good condition after surgery.

He originally was listed in critical condition. However, Derek Boyko, the Eagles' director of media operations, said McDougle had spoken to team officials and was walking around his hospital room.

``Our understanding is that Jerome is in good condition after undergoing surgery,'' the team said in a statement. ``At this time, we are still in the process of gathering the facts of his situation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jerome and his family.''

McDougle, who played at the University of Miami, was due to be in the team's camp Monday, the reporting date for Eagles' veterans. Rookies reported Friday.

McDougle, 27, was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center, where he underwent the surgery.

Three armed robbers approached McDougle at his silver Mercedes coupe late Thursday, police said. The suspects demanded the car, then fired their weapons, police said. McDougle was shot once in the stomach.

The robbers, who police said were likely teens, fled on foot and remain at large.

Probably white kids

You gotta appreciate the honesty of LeCharles Bentley here: "It all depends on how you carry yourself," Bentley said. "If you walk around with $100,000 worth of jewelry on and this, that and the other, you're asking for something. If I'm broke and hungry, and I see someone out there with $100,000 worth of jewelry, hell, I might rob them, too. . . . "

Would it be safe to assume Bentley is black? ABSOLUTELY!

I'm not surprised.

'm from the Miami area and can recall dozens and dozens of occassions
where the Hurricane "family" gets involved in all sorts of trouble over
the years.

If you lay down with dogs, you're likely to get fleas.



UM used to be a lot more criminal years ago though.

They run a much tighter ship as they act as a defacto minor league Pro team. they want to get to the NFL and make the dough.

The guys who usually end up going to UM are from the real deal ghetto
and slums from all over the state of Florida. Violence and running amok
are common occurences to this sort of neighborhood hood.



Although in this case, it looks like McDougle was just a random victim
of young thugs who liked his bling bling......the black athletes love
to show off their riches. It is part of their culture.



So here's a solution: stop wearing bling bling and attracting undue attention.
