Ah, just what LSU and the NCAA wanted: another headache. QB Jordan Jefferson, along with LB Josh Johns, were arrested Friday, after arrest warrants had been issued. The boys have been charged with second-degree battery. This is a HUGE blow to #4 LSU and getting into a bar fight, no matter what was said, is not appropriate. You are representing a school and you are the leader of a team that has the chance of winning a National Championship and you have completely blown it and for what? If someone disrespected my family/loved ones, words would definitely would be thrown around, but not my fists. You as a player have a lot riding on your shoulders and someone wanted to 'ruffle' your feathers and you allowed them to do so. Anger is a problem and in some men and women, that anger can get them into huge trouble, as it did Friday. You have to be able to take a step back and take a deep breath and realize the scum bucket on the bar stool is just trying to get you upset so he can have a story to tell to his grandchildren. Jefferson, you are going places and this person, is not. I do not know what was said, but that person that you kicked is not worth getting kicked off the LSU football team. The lesson should be this: If you want to eventually play in the NFL, stay out of trouble with the law. Wait, on second thought, do exactly it is you are doing, kids. If Adam 'Pacman' Jones can be arrested five times, Michael Vick can be convicted of running a dog-fighting operation, Plaxico Burress can shoot himself in the leg with an illegal gun and be convicted and Ben Roethlisberger can behave the way he does off-the-field, then you are more than welcome to enlist your services to the NFL because they'll welcome you with open arms, starting with the guy below, Roger Goodell, first in line.
