Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
Iowa football players have once again stocked the jails with warm bodies after three of them were busted early Monday morning for public intoxication. Amusingly, coach Kirk Ferentz's son, James, was among the trio. You'll remember James is no stranger to these incidents thanks to an October arrest for underage possession of alcohol.
This time, he simply stumbled up to the scene in defense of teammates Zachary Derby and Tyler Christensen, who "tried to pick a fight with an off-duty University of Iowa police officer." In response, coach Kirk Ferentz has suspended all three from spring practices and ordered them to do community service.
Derby blew a .207 and .211 in separate readings, while Ferentz checked in with a .160.
Christensen refused a test, but picked up a criminal mischief charge after admitting to "breaking off a parking arm" at a ramp near the arrest. Stellar stuff there that is certain to give him a reputation as a meathead.
Iowa football had a much-needed revival last year after facing seemingly endless arrests and embarrassing incidents that arguably should have gotten coach Ferentz fired but instead he later signed a lucrative extension. Somehow we had assumed last year's success might quiet these incidents but nope.
