When I hear that a player is going to lose playing time due to an off field incident, I usually consider that to be missing the first set of downs or the first quarter of the next game. So after being arrested twice in the past two months, potential Kentucky starting quarterback Curtis Pulley could lose some time on the field as punishment for his recent actions.Pulley was charged last month in Louisville on a misdemeanor count of marijuana possession. Then this week, Pulley was arrested in Hardin County on traffic charges including speeding, driving on a suspended or revoked license and having expired or no plates or registration papers, according to court documents.Kentucky head coach Rich Brooks thinks that it's bull crap that one of his players would go to instate rival Louisville to score a bag. And the multiple traffic violations was just the icing on the cake. While Brooks hasn't named the punishment for Pulley, he isn't ruling out possible loss of playing time. Oh, look out! That sound you hear is the cruel wrist slap of Rich Brooks. Kige Ramsey is too busy pimping his magazine collection to be bothered, and Louisville coach Steve Kragthorpe is rumored to be smiling like the butcher's dog.
It was already understood that Kentucky was going to go back to being that team that could beat Vanderbilt on any given Saturday this year. But the loss of their potential starting quarterback would be a hard pill to swallow. So for now, Rich Brooks is going to "let the legal system take it's course" and make a decision after the season is over.
