Lovable Redskins return man/phenomenon Brandon Banks was stabbed last night around 3 a.m. outside of D.C. nightclub The Park. Fortunately, he only incurred superficial wounds. Unfortunately, his friend is hospitalized and in serious condition, according to a Redskins Insider source.
What reportedly happened is that Banks, who is the smallest man in the NFL, and a friend got into a fight with a third man. That man, identified as Jason Shorter of Lanham, Md., pulled a knife. He remains in custody.
Let’s hope justice prevails, Banks’ friend heals, and that that’s the end of it.
In other Redskins news, Albert Haynesworth was formally charged with assault for last week’s road rage incident. Uplifting stuff, gang.
Update: Banks’ agent says Banks was an innocent bystander, but a Banks wisecrack may have started the fight.

What kind of sick individual tries to stab DC’s cuddliest resident?
It’s like stabbing Gizmo from “Gremlins”. Just wrong.

Apparently someone was a little sensitive about having his threads made fun of.
Seriously.
