perception is everything...

i didn't read it as his personal spin just because he put * * around high character, i can see why so many would read it that way tho with his apathy toward the 'negative headline capacity' of a player just because he can throw, or catch, or run with or tackle the one running with, or block for the one throwing or catching or running with ... a football ....at least now we know that swift does recognize someone who is generally thought of as having *high character*

in a world where people 'crave' bad news, it IS news when someone you thought was 'good' or *high character* makes a headline like that.....

Vrabel’s arrest arose from eight bottles of beer

KMBC 9 in Kansas City has tracked down some more details regarding the Monday morning arrest of Chiefs linebacker Mike Vrabel.

Per KMBC, Indiana Gaming Commissioner Director of Enforcement Kenny Rowan said that Vrabel was seen by an enforcement agent taking “bottles of alcohol from a deli” without paying for them. We’re told that the “bottles of alcohol” were eight bottles of beer.

Since video cameras are installed throughout most casinos (insert your own “Vrabel should be used to that since he played for the Patriots” line here), there should be visual evidence of the alleged incident.

And speaking of the Patriots, would it be too cynical to suspect a Colts-Pats rivalry angle to the decision of the enforcement agent to have Vrabel arrested?

Either way, free booze flows like spring water in most casinos, since it serves as the ultimate WD-40 for the hinge of a wallet. We’d therefore be surprised if the owners of the casino decide to pursue the matter.

It was just a misunderstanding.

Until we get more story, I take it as a big misunderstanding.

Swift is transparent like glass, think he would learn after his last ban that his schtick is old everyone knows it by now and that we are not going to turn back time and draft Dez or start drafing any player with past history of off field problem. # winning season and he still doesn't understand how well the front office has rebuilt this team.
