$15,000 for tires and rims? That's roughly what my car cost. I've never liked the gaudy tires and rims look anyway. Thanks for the news tex.

Wonder what he was doing at a Galleria-area apartment in the middle of the night.

He sounds elitist. He must be a Democrat.

"We’re vulnerable just like anybody else," Mr. Hamlin said. "Things happen to us just like regular people. That’s how you got to look at it.”

Yeah, I'm a regular person and having someone steak my $15,000 wheels and rims happens all the time.

Tires and rims were stolen from the 2008 Cadillac Escalade of zebracoy, Dallas police said today.



How's that?

it's a sick world when it comes to what constitutes "breaking news" on nfl beats. nowhere sicker than in dallas. holy effin' crap!!! : :

Hopefully Ken is driving the hybrid Escalade. The gas one is a real drain on the environment.

Ken seems to be a man of the people. Remember when he was in Seattle he was beaten into a coma and missed an entire season.

Things like this happen to everyone.

Love the comments on the website, just from the last hour or so:

"Don't make us start out a riddle with 'what does DMN and TMZ have in common?"

"I think Jerry is sending Ken Hamlin a message.. If you don't start earning the money I'm paying you, I'll send Pacman's ex-security to steal your shyt !!!"

"Well you can't blame Puerto Ricans...we don't steal stuff that nice!"

It's gold, Jerry - gold!!

 

[Boom_70]

Is there a picture? Please tell me yes.

We need to see Ken's ride sitting up on those blocks.

Is his jewelry safe?

what's sadder is this story wasn't done on the cowboys beat. it's a NEWS story on the freaking front page of the web site.

The car was up on blocks? What's the big deal?

Can probably find em at a discount on craigslist....

Yeah, I'm a regular person and having someone steak my $15,000 wheels and rims happens all the time.

What'd I do?

Seriously, Hamlin was the subject of one of the great all-time SEC Media Days exchanges. A reporter asked Houston Nutt if Hamlin, who had been sentenced to jail on a DUI charge for at least part of the summer, was "out" yet?

Nutt's response: "He might be out right now ... picking up trash on the side of the highway ... "
