Jarrett Due in Court

I do my very best to keep things light and positive around here.  I try to shy away from the uselessly negative stories that really have very little to do with football in general.  I try to keep the stories complaining about the way the team is run or the way the team isn’t performing out of this blog, because I find them needlessly depressing at a time when the Carolina Panthers and their fan base have much to be excited about.  However, after a very productive period of free agent signings, the Panthers have fallen a bit quiet before the draft.

And with that silence comes a dearth of decent stories.  So I am left with this story about the fact that Dwayne Jarrett is due in court to talk about his drunk driving charges from last month.  Jarrett, a USC Trojan who should absolutely know better than to be driving while impaired, was pulled over for running a red light.  The officer then smelled alcohol on his breath and Jarrett failed a field sobriety test.  It will be interesting to see how a judge handles Jarrett, and also how the league handles this situation, in light of the commissioner’s track record with players who get into trouble with the law.
