Kenton Keith Is A Perfect Handcuff Running Back

Colts backup running back Kenton Keith was arrested early Sunday morning for drunk and disorderly conduct and contributing to the delinquency of a minor after cops found him glassy-eyed and disrespectful outside of Cloud 9 nightclub in Indy.

An off-duty police officer bouncing at the club said Keith and a few other individuals were outside Club 9 about 3 a.m., leaning on cars, dancing and not leaving the parking lot when they were told to. According to the police report, Keith resisted arrest and "would not be quiet. He kept hollering he was a Colts player, that he wasn't doing nothing wrong, that he would leave when he got ready."

Writer David J. Warner at AOL Fanhouse wildly speculates that Keith may be the victim of some sort of racism from the Indianapolis police department even though Keith was, you know, breaking the law.

Unlike last year's backup Colts running back, Dominic Rhodes, Keith did not urinate all over himself, which may save him from being picked up by the Raiders in 2009.

Maybe if he told the police he was a former CFL running back he would have gotten off with just a warning, but noooooooo.

You know what? I've always been shy to say it, but I'm going to go ahead and say it now:

I'd have a star by my name if I wasn't white.

There should be some kind of NFL rule that prohibits this sort of thing. Like "If you are rated under a 70 OVR in Madden, you can not get away with that kind of shit."

Most shocking part of this story; He spends time in Indianapolis in the offseason.

I think the fact that Keith is black and in Indianapolis, pretty much clued the cops in that he's either a Colt or a Pacer...

He's one of James Dungy's favorite players. Somebody better put that kid on suicide watch.

Oh, right...

What the hell does David J. Warner know about racism? Have you ever seen him? I mean, a computer animator couldn't render a better picture of a hopelessly white guy.

dancing and not leaving the parking lot when they were told to.

Another tragic example of a Rick Rolling gone wrong.

Nobody else noticed the "Contributing to the delinquency of a minor" thrown in there? WTF was that about?

If glassy-eyed and disrespectful is grounds for arrest, that's really going to cut down on the comments around here.

Cloud 9...that sounds familiar regarding other pro athletes. Is that Jamaal Tinsley's hangout as well?

Cars are a gateway prop for leaning. Before you know it you've graduated to lightpoles and then BOOM! You're broke, homeless, and leaning on a table 3-4 times a day.

It's cool now, he pulled the article and rewrote it with no mention of that at all anymore. The original link is blank.
