Ryan Mallett- The 6'7" lush....

I would like to start this dialogue with a "legal disclaimer" of sort. If I too lived in Fayetteville, AR, I would drink my self stupid as well...

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Ryan Mallett.

Ryan Mallet has all of the measurables to be a solid college Qb. He has the size at 6'7" 255 lbs. He has good mobility. He has nice accuracy. He also has absolutely no sense. Reports out of Arkansas say he was arrested around 4 a.m on Dickson St. for public intoxication. There are 2 aspects of this story that I am still trying to wrap my brain around:

1. Reports say that Mallett was released 1 hour after being arrested. An hour? Seriously? I was under the impression that processing in jails took close to 6 hrs.... Not that we have any personal experience with this.

2. Bobby Petrino's statement after the arrest.

"I am very disappointed that Ryan Mallett put himself in a situation that doesn't reflect positively on him or on our program," Petrino said. "All members of the Razorback football team have a responsibility to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner on and off the field. While the legal process has not yet taken its course in this matter, Ryan will face internal team disciplinary action for not representing the Razorbacks in a way that is required of our student-athletes."

Quitrino, dude, did you forget about lying on MNF, and running off in the middle of the night on the Falcons and leaving a "dear John" note to the organization. Maybe YOU need to read that second sentence there buddy boy. You want to talk about personal conduct on and off the field.

While there probably isn't a lot of national attention going towards this story because, well, the Razorbacks are terrible and nobody really gives a shit. I like to point out their issues because we here at Gherkin's Landing happen to be quite fond of the Falcons, and not so fond of Arkansas. So, to wrap this up, keep on drinking Ryan. It looks like all of the Hog fans up in Arkansas will have to wait another year for that National Championship that Petrino was going to bring them in his first year.
