The Andy Kennedy Police Video Shows Coach Drunk, Unintentionally Hilarious

Police have released video of Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy's arrest back on December 18, and it doesn't disappoint:

Of particular note is when Kennedy claims that his arrest will be an "international incident." He wasn't lying: NATO met shortly after the incident and, according to a copy of the organization's agenda for Dec. 22 (we're really well connected), the rest of the world was extremely concerned.

Didn’t Ed Belfour offer the police a billion dollars to let him off the hook when we got his DUI? That’s almost as good as the soon-to-be-ex coach of Ole Miss saying this would be an international incident.

After the officer said "do you think you are the first national celebrity we have dealt with?  We deal with the Bengals all the time", I laughed my a.. off. That should be a quote that is recorded in the annals of sports history. 

Kennedy appears to be some sort of clown.

go_deacs, if Kennedy is a clown, we’ll call you King Bozo.

Mohamed Moctar Ould Jiddou is an opportunist.

The Cincy PD officer is a jackas$.

And Chris Mottram is nothing shy of a shock jock wannabe using other peoples’ misfortunes to write his little column. An actual journalist, he is not.

"An actual journalist, he is not."

Nope, I’m a blogger. Hence my work appearing on something called "The Sporting BLOG".

Another blubbering qoute or two that make us all proud that we are private citizens.Hey,Iam not perfect and we are all bozos on this bus.The arresting officer was just letting the drunk hillbilly know  that an international affair is further from their minds than keeping a drunk from killing someone.The people in OHIO ,I presume,take that a little more seriously than the KKK.

reddogracer, you sound like a man of experience, having been on that end of the nightstick.

cmottram, thanks for the validation of my previous commentary.

ole missswiss,no.We DO NOT tolerate drunk drivers as I have already stated. I do not recall anywhere in the article that says nightstick.I do drink,not in bars,at home,and am quite amused that you  good ole boys think we are not raciasts like yourself. Go grab another bottle of hooch and crawl up to a rock. Get on with life knowing that your coach made an ill advised decision. It’sbeen done before. You can look it up.

Granted, I live on Cape Cod, not 20 minutes from the Hyannis Port compound… but that looks like a pretty slow night for a Kennedy. Show me the drowned secretary, and we can start talking second cousin.

Even Misterrrrrrrrrrrr Kennedy… Kennedy parties harder than that.

reddogracer, I’m not suggesting Coach AK didn’t make a mistake. Even he laments that it’s been a humbling, learning experience.

Now…I am suggesting however that the cab driver and valet are nothing shy of great opportunists trying to make a buck at the expense of a public figure. They knew exactly who Coach AK is when they first saw him as he was the interim HC at Cincy before taking the post at Ole Miss.

But the ultimate reason I posted originally is with Mottram’s attempts to make a living at taking shots at the misfortune of Coach AK going through all of this. Mottram is as great an opportunist is Mohamed Moctar Ould Jiddou.

That Mottram is likely getting paid to write this crap is a travesty. SN could do far better.

C’mon, olemisscowboy, take off the Ole Miss pajamas.  Can you really blame the cab driver for suing someone who sucker punched him in the face?  Did you see Kennedy has filed a frivolous counterclaim against the cab driver for loss of consortium?  You’ve got to be kidding me.

And who cares whether Chris Mottram is an "actual journalist"?  Don’t blame the messenger.  That’s your coach acting like Ron Burgundy on the tape, not CM.

Actually, Angry Samoan, I find my Ole Miss attire quite comfortable, thank you.

And I don’t believe Coach AK punched anyone. My guess is, if the Cincy cops have any kind of credibility at all, they’d have performed some sort of test, taken photos of Coach AK’s hands to determine if they’d been through any type of trauma such as punching another human’s face. Yet we have no confirmation about any of this. The cab driver is lying, point blank, front & center. He’s looking for a free ride (pun intended) at Coach AK’s expense.

And since you can’t tell the difference, CM isn’t "reporting" anything. He’s taking shots at my coach. You’d feel the same if he was doing it to yours, that is, if you had one.

My coach, Thad Matta of THE Ohio State University, doesn’t sucker punch cab drivers or spout racial slurs at them.

Regardless of whether Kennedy punched the cabbie, the videotape makes Kennedy and his entourage look like a complete @$$ clowns.  If my coach behaved like Kennedy did, he would deserve it when bloggers like CM took shots at him.  And I would never defend such asinine behavior.  I’d be calling for the coach’s ouster.

by Angry Samoan on Feb 4, 2009 3:27 AM EST reply actions  

I’m … kind of a big deal.  People know me.  I have many leather-bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

by Angry Samoan on Feb 4, 2009 3:30 AM EST reply actions  

Wow, AS…you call yourself such an honorable fan who would call for a coach’s ouster with bad behavior. (Behavior that is only alleged at this point for my coach, by the way.)

Then you go and follow up with such - I’ll use your term, "@$$ clown" – behavior in your immediate next post. Good for you. It just speaks volumes about you, quoting Anchorman like that. I’m certain your school – THE Ohio State University – would be proud to know they have your support.

Oh…and speaking of OSU, what’s the Buckeye’s record against the SEC in bowl games again? 0-9?
