DALLAS (July 16) - Dallas Cowboys safety and top special teams player Keith Davis was shot twice while driving early Sunday. Davis was hospitalized in stable condition after undergoing surgery to remove bullet fragments. This is the second time in three years that Davis has been shot. In June 2003, Davis was shot in the hip and elbow while picking up a friend at a topless club. "The thing that's really pertinent here is that Keith was not involved in any type of criminal activity or anything like that," his agent said. "This is not the residual effect of that." Earlier this summer, Dallas gave him a roughly $3 million, two-year contract that includes about $2 million in bonuses and salary this season. Dear Keith's agent, Totally with you dude. Keith is totally innocent. Yeah, when I go for a drive at 5 a.m., a highway with four cars on it frequently seems like The OK Corral! I get shot like every other day. Hey, those are the pitfalls of living in Iraq. By the way, everyone knows that “friends” don’t let topless friends drive drunk. I’m sure Keith was just on the way to an early Mass at church and was helping out a fellow congregant who just strayed from the straight and narrow (and clothes). Come on, would the Dallas Cowboys or any other sports organization support criminal activity from a player? Please, I'm good friends with Barry Bonds and O.J. Simpson and let me tell you, their teams, fans, and family (the living ones) love them. Do you know why? Because they are the nicest, most ethical and law-abiding citizens you will ever meet. By the way, don’t worry, I’m sure if Keith misses training Bill Parcells, who is extremely understanding of freak occurrences, excuses, and run-ins with the law, will let Keith keep his job and signing bonus. Best wishes, Pinocchio
