FREEWHEELIN’, FAST DEALIN’ KENNY STABLER GETS A DUI
Camels are an excellent alternative if you find yourself too drunk to operate a vehicle. Trust us on this one.Respectable drunkards just come out and own being a drunk, something we’d much rather see than a drunk in denial. Drunks in denial buy thirty airplane bottles and drink alone in the dark; admitted drunks are social and often very fun when they’re not repeating the same thing fifty times in a night.
Kenny Stabler picked up his third DUI since 1995, an aggressive tally by lay standards but a pitiful total on the Estonian scale of drunk driving achievement. (”Estonia: Pioneering Online Finance So You Don’t Have To Stagger Out of the House To Balance the Books.”) Stabler has no defense for a DUI, since as Todd helpfully points out, Stabler himself named drinking and driving (or at least, drinking, and then driving) as one of the great obstacles impeding any chance of him staying married successfully.
“All I wanna do is drive around in my truck and drink Jack Daniels… and they just don’t understand.”
They never do, Kenny, and we feel you. All we want to do is lift work out, crash cars, shoot automatic weapons, and occasionally get so drunk we wake up on the surface of the sun, Kenny. Throw in a weekly gift certificate at Amazon.com and a video gaming system, and we’ve pretty much illustrated the illusory comforts that will keep us safely ensconced in The Matrix for life.
Kenny seemingly has no defense, and may get in trouble from those who will somehow connect his inability to resist the siren call presented by sailing the six-striped dividing line cranked on Jack Daniels. (”But there are only two lines, Orson…” Ah, not if you’re ingesting whole half-bottles of whiskey, there aren’t.) We instead remind you that you can always get the man a cab, since he remains an excellent color announcer for Alabama football games. Be tolerant not of his behavior, but of his weaknesses. Someone buy the man a damn golf cart and then get the hell out of the way.
In conclusion, let us present the only defense we can present for Kenny, which is this picture:

“His beard is tri-colored…like a sex beagle’s.”—Barstoolio.
He should just present this picture in court. It would beat any other rationale he could use in his defense, since he has none, really.

JeffAU says:
Sorry. To beat that one in Court in LA (lower Alabama), all he needs is a picture of himself with the Bahr, clearly, a father figure and mentor to young Kenneth.

If the fact that a senior citizen national championship and super bowl winning quarterback can receive three DUIs in the state of Alabama isn’t a sign of “The New South,” then I don’t know what is.

What’s really crazy is that he was obviously on his way home to Foley (Robertsdale is a small town “on the way” to the beach)….if there’s another person in the Lower Alabama area who would have more people offering to give them a ride home, I don’t know who they are. It’s not like he’s an unpopular guy….sheesh

Snake has a problem that transcends college affiliation, but Bama may have coddled him a bit too much for a bit too long.
There are some….16 at last count.…:-) good folks at Bama.
Maybe they can arrange a wake up call for ole Snake that might save his life and possibly other lives as well…

Ah #13, the sad fact is that you don’t hear too many “Touchdown Alabama” cries from Eli very often (well, unless you’re Rocky Flop and inexplicably give up 41 points to our popgun-armed qb!)

Coop says:
Oh, NOW he has a problem because this is his 3rd DUI.
Chances are likely that this was not his 3rd time drinking and driving.
It may not be a crime if you don’t get caught, but it doesn’t change the underlying issue.
If any substance causes you to make enough, and enough is a relative concept, stupid decisions, give up the substance.

Only problem with that theory is that Robertsdale is about 15 minutes North of Foley (about 30 minutes from Gulf Shores). Snake was heading South if he was going home. There was a big music festival (Bama Jam) in Enterprise Saturday. I would rule out Saturday’s performance of Cymbaline at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival as his point of origin.

Why would any Estonian man leave the house, much less to drive drunk, unless it is to find an Estonian woman? Seriously, they are among the most beautiful on the planet.
I know the cheesecake train has left the station — a disturbing image that ought to be a nasty metaphor for something — but if it is ever resurrected, I nominate Estonia to lead us back to our Friday rutual.

#2, Kenny has walked plenty of times, thank god an officer had the resolve to actually arrested him again. He needs to learn. My brother is a cop in Fairhope and has only been so for about a year and he already has stories about Snake.

Mr Pelican Pants says:
Snake has the IRS on his tail, and at last count, he was selling his house on ONO island to pay back taxes….when the IRS is on ya, drinkin is the only thing you can count as your own..but since there are like only one taxi cab service that is not running more often than not in South Alabama after midnight, you may have to chance it or walk……and if you are a famous QB, getting rides home from Alabama fans who are drunker than you are may not be the best option either, especially coming from Flora-Bama, the Keg, Gambino’s, Live Bait or any other hole in the wall roadhouses scattered thru out the pan handle at 3am…best option? Go out drinkin with your attorney and let him drive, just to be on the safe side, or not, since several attorneys have gotten DUI’s down there too….

I’m a huge Bama fan, but if Stabler has received 3 DUI’s, he’s probably been guilty of it at least 1000x that many.

Sullivan says:
A “drunk football star” is still a drunk, and when he gets behind the wheel, he’s a criminal and a danger to anyone on or near the road. Would y’all be saying these things if it had ended with someone killed instead of a DUI?
1, 3 or 3000, he’s still a criminal and requires correction. Shitcan the fool and let him dry up.

Re: The 60’s QB’s of U of A. Broadway Joe has admitted that he is an alcoholic – and has undergone treatment. He claims that he now abstains from all use of alcohol. The locals around here love him – in some part due to his openness about his problem and his effort to overcome it. On the other hand, the Snake – lovable or otherwise – has refused to grow up. From reading the various posts, it sounds as if Lower Alabama has enabled him for years. Everyone involved is lucky that he hasn’t killed someone. Joe has class. The Snake has yet to show any.

Stabler will succesfully defend the charges in court. With a butterfly knife.
I’m told he once hit on my mother at a party, which makes her unique among uterus-owning Alabama visitors/residents since 1970 in exactly zero ways. Cheers to her triumph of common sense over star-fuckery and pre-vogue, first-generation stungun ownership (THE SNAKE BITES haw haw darlin’ I’m jes kiddin’ NO I AIN’T); jeers to the fact that I have sauteed broccolini where a throwing arm should hang.

#25,
The Commonwealth of Virginia estimates that a person convicted of DUI has already driven intoxicated over 250 times without getting caught. They tell you that in the class you have to take after you get nailed with one, not that I would know…
I would guess it would be at least double the odds for someone with star power who has probably gotten excused by officers with Bama loyalties. At his age, he’s probably at well over 3,000.

This criminal defense lawyer is very disturbed at Orson’s three references to Kenny’s having “no defense” here. My internet search has turned up very few details as to Mr. Stabler’s arrest or what exactly he supposedly did. Not all arrested for crimes are necessarily guilty– ask the Duke lacrosse team.

Oh, and another thing. We don’t need any moralizing from Barner turds. You had one head coach who made Kenny look like a piker, and did Evander Holyfield impersonations on his wife when he had a snootfull. You had another coach who could snort a thick line from the Supper Clup in Auburn all the way to a whore’s nasty asshole in Mobile.
But they never had an Alabama law enforcement officer “look the other way”. Nope. Never.

And as a reply to some people earlier….I post on here often and have never ONCE THOUGHT about drinking and driving. If I’m shitfaced, I find a place to sleep or I find someone to drive me home. Usually a fat chick(shit…..I guess that’s a sorta funny comment. Sorry)

Tipster says:
Though driving with over-the-limit alcohol is wrong, people are not asking three questions 1) exactly why was he pulled over 2) why the extra charge of reckless driving 3) what was is alcohol level. Robertsdale is a notorious speed trap in Alabama. They have a long record of ethically questionable acts from being a very well know speed trap in the state in not the worst, political hacks put truly in charge, sex offender officers, sexual misconduct from former police chief, and especially meeting the exact definition of a speed trap by pulling people over just past the change in speed sign for driving the old speed limit +2 mphon a regular basis. I am in no way in the very very slightest saying driving with over the limit alcohol level in black and white terms is right. I had a friend to die from drunk driving and would like over the limit drivers arrested and not being able to plea out of it. No one should accept what the city and Stabler’s lawyers state what happened because that might be part of any agreement and not the true facts.
