Put 'Em Away

What is up with former Mountaineers and police issues? Add Quincy Wilson to the list of Mountaineer players who can't seem to stay out of trouble with the law. Wilson apparently attended a wedding and had a bit much to drink. The police ordered the wedding party to leave and Wilson, and the rest of the crew, refused. And off to jail they go.

Quincy is now the 10th Bengals player to be arrested in the last 14 months. What is going on in Cincinatti? That is just insane.

Quincy joins the proud list of Mountaineer players who have had recent problems with the law. Chris Henry has had plenty of problems with the law during his time with the Bengals and has been suspended by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. And, of course, there's the infamous Pac Man "Make It Rain" Jones. Pac Man is in trouble again as he may be involved in some way in a shooting down in Georgia. Pac Man was the first to feel the wrath of the new NFL Commissioner, being suspended for the entire 2007-2008 season.

So, the question is which Mountaineer will be arrested next? Marc Bulger has managed to stay out of trouble...how much longer can he hold out? Jerry Porter has been showing some attitude out in Oakland...can he refrain from punching Al Davis in the face? Todd Sauerbrun was in that steroid mess at Carolina...can he holdout from being in jail in Denver? Kay Jay Harris? Rasheed Marshall? Mike Logan? Gary Stills? Who will be first to crack and join his Mountaineer brethren with a healthy criminal record? Who can resist the temptation of making it rain?

I'm not sure who will be first to fall. But I do know that if I see a former Mountaineer player walking my way, I'm running in the other direction. Never know...
