Brandon Banks stabbed in club altercation

Man professional athletes should really stay away from the club scene. Looks like he's ok.

Glad he's alright. Hate to see this happen to anyone, regardless of circumstance.

That's one of the last places I'd expect something like this to happen.

Not mine.

There's always something going on at spot every week it seems like. Glad he's gonna be alright though.

Guess I'll cross it off my list (was already close for many other reasons).

This story is getting pretty strange. There may be video that shows Banks and his boy initiating the confrontation? Shouldn't he have been released from the hospital by now?

Posted at 6:33 PM ET, 02/15/2011 Brandon Banks remains hospitalized with tube in chest to prevent collapsed lung By Mike Jones The injury Washington Redskins kick/punt returner Brandon Banks suffered Saturday during a fight outside a Northwest D.C. nightclub was more serious than the team and his agent have indicated. Banks remains hospitalized with a knife wound that was significant enough for doctors to insert a tube into his chest, his agent, James Gould, said Tuesday. Redskins head athletic trainer Larry Hess reported through team spokesmanTony Wyllie that the chest tube was inserted to prevent Banks's left lung from collapsing. Gould originally described Banks's injury as "a superficial wound" and said he was on the verge of being released from the hospital. He initially said Banks would be released Sunday, then on Monday evening said he would be released within 24 hours. On Tuesday, Gould said he would not be released until Wednesday, at the earliest.

Either his Agent didn't know what the hell he was talking about when he said it was nothing serious or the Skins' PR Staff did a bad job of managing this situation.

Probably trying to avoid a full NFL investigation. Could be more to the story.
