Arrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!
Some things I get, some things I don’t. Jevon Kearse getting arrested for D-U-I is something I can NOT understand and frankly, it drives me nuts!!!
I have several mottos that I live by in life, one of them is, “it’s not hard to not get arrested”.
I know, it’s a double negative, but I don’t care because it’s true. It’s just not. It takes an effort. How many times have you walked thru life and said to yourself, “man, I wish I could do that, but I’d go to jail”? Never, if you’re normal.
Along those lines, this took an effort. Number one, he stayed out until almost 5:00 in the morning. Is that a crime? No, but now it’s time for another old saying, “nothing good happens after midnight”. If you’re on the road at 4:30 AM you are immediately a target for police, not many of us are headed to work at 4:30 Sunday morning are we?
It also took the decision to drive. He could have handed over the keys. He could have hailed a cab. He could have hired a limo (last I saw he just signed a 2-year deal worth 6-million dollars). Worst of all he could have just called for a ride. The Titans have no interest in players getting a D-U-I and are more than willing to arrange a ride, no matter the time, no matter the place.
OK, I understand he hasn’t been convicted of anything yet and being out at a bar until 4:00 is not against the law, however why even be in the position? That’s the big question, why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Ok, no matter how many times I ask it doesn’t seem to answer itself. Here’s the only thing I can come up with, we all make mistakes. Jevon made his and now he has to live with it, but how many examples do we have to have before someone gets the message?

Amen, Cory, Amen! Everything you said here is so true. I don’t understand why the guy couldn’t have called a limo. He’s rich! The man is rich! He could’ve called a limo to get back to his car the next day! It’s pocket change for him.
I just don’t get it.
