Re: Kenyon Drake Arrested

I don't mean to defend Drake but with the way cops act today that charge could be leveled against anybody for so much as a dirty look.
he should know from dealing with coach that when someone in authority speaks you shut your trap and move along.

Re: Kenyon Drake Arrested

I'm [waiting] until we know the details. This might be nothing more than what Tony Brown was in trouble for.

If I'm wrong, I'll retract but I'm not losing sleep over this until we know the details.

Re: Kenyon Drake Arrested

If that's what Saban is teaching players he's a failure as a coach and teacher.
I think what davefrat was saying is that you have to pick your battles. It's probably not the best time to try and prove a point or smart off to a policeman, even if you are in the right. Yes you have rights and can say things to an officer that is not against the law but will tick them off to the point to where they will charge you with a petty crime that they probably would not have otherwise charged you with. I have no idea what happened in this incident with Drake, but I would agree with davefrat in that it's usually just better to say yes sir and move on when an officer asks you to do something. Then you could make a complaint on the officer the next day if you thought he was out of line.

Re: Kenyon Drake Arrested

I suspect Derek Henry and Drake were tied at 2 on the depth chart. Derek Henry likely is firmly the #2 now.

These last 30 days or so before practice starts are almost always fret with an arrest or two.

Re: Kenyon Drake Arrested

Seeing the details makes me feel better. Arresting him for going to his car seems a bit much, not not surprising considering the state of police today.

Cecil Hurt ‏@CecilHurt 7m No details yet, but Kenyan Drake was already in a four-bedroom doghouse and didn't need to add a patio.




REALLY disappointing to read this. Kenyan Drake has loads of potential and has shown it more than occasionally.

We could certainly use his abilities with a football in his hands.

I bet if he obstructed with football team operations Saban would not be happy.

Re: Kenyon Drake Arrested

"UPDATE: Drake was arrested for trying to get to his car, which was behind police tape after the shootings in downtown last night. Not a major deal, and likely will be handled internally by Saban."

From FB.




That is crazy. Sounds like something a lot of people would have done.
