Townsend charged with assault

Peezy isn’t gone a week and the ‘Burgh apparently has its new Bad Boy — or, at least, some weirdo guy named Chris Graham seems to think so.
According to a police report filed over the weekend, Graham was approached by cornerback Deshea Townsend and the Invisible Steeler, Raymond Burgess. I say invisible because Graham identified Burgess as someone he recognized as a Steeler. Burgess is in no way affiliated with the team. With that statement alone, Graham’s report of the entire story immediately loses any hope of being accurate.
For his part, Townsend has not denied that an altercation occurred between Graham and Burgess. He denies, however, Grahams assertion that Townsend repeatedly punched him in the face.
Witnesses apparently include police officers, and they say Townsend only broke up the fight. That’s a much more believable perspective, considering Townsend’s demeanor. Think back to the days when DeWayne Washington was a Steeler: he and Townsend made for what was inarguably the most docile cornerback tandem in league history.
The entire story is over at the Post-Gazette. They tell it better than I do; they’re the news outlet, I just spew out my own take on things. And besides, it’s about time I return some more of their Link Love.
