    Well, if this is true, then I'm glad as hell that Francis wasnt hurt. This guy needs to be more careful... I mean he is Francis... people will know he has a lotta money.

    He shouldnt be in New York, he should have some common sense knowing that NY and DC have battles and its not good for him to go up there. [​IMG]

    If it was on the New York news something tells me it would be on a lot of websites over the Internet. If I'm wrong and it's true- sorry SteveFranchise, but as of now nothing backs you up.

    How can you live in New York (implying you know because you live there) and then say you saw it on channel 11?

    Fair enough. Just wondering since there's a channel 11 in Houston as well.

    Since when did WB have a news report? They sure don't in Houston.

    Something tells me you either heard wrong, or are lying, because it WOULD be all over the news.

    I just got back from NY too...

    Somehow I think if you heard it on the news last night, it would be SOMEWHERE over the internet now or Houston news or the Chronicle, over 12 hours later. Basketball websites would be all over this. Sorry man, don't buy it.

    Guys i'm not lieing about this. I swear i heard it on the news. I am as puzzled as you on why it isn't all over the internet. But give it a little more time before you jump all over me.

    On the right side of the page there is an option to watch yesterdays video news clips. In the NEWS section, after about 4 stories, there is a story about Francis and a friend getting robbed in Manhattan at Mel's barber shop.

    I guess maybe you all should check the source before you jump the poster.
