Next Spring, why not do a photo essay on all of the alcohol-related arrests at Foxfield? Of course the journalist would have to spend a very long time there since the arrests begin in the morning and continue on through late afternoon. I'm sure many in this community will find it of great interest, especially those who recognize family and friends.
Hope this wake-up call will bring positive changes to this young man's life. We all make mistakes but most of us don't learn from them.
he was caught doing something that 70% of college kids do. most dont get caught, he did. shame on him, but stop making him out to charlie manson. relax.
A very nice kid with very nice parents. I have no doubt he will never do something like this again.
I don't see how could possibly be considered the black sheep in the family. The kid is probably going to be in NFL in four years.
must be tough living in public eye. most of us did stupid stuff and either did not get caught or did, but nobody paid attention. just because his number came up and got caught, does not make him a bad kid. he may be good or bad, i have no idea, but this doesnt tell one way or the other.
He'll be the black sheep in the family and never be able to step out of his fathers or brothers shadow.....its a shame. I really don't think he'll learn from this, its probably the first of many run-ins with LEO's..... its a shame.
Black sheep are ofter the best kind.
I personally have never seen a black sheep. Are they mythical creatures like unicorns?
if he cut out the boozing and he'd be fine. when these kids leave home all of that new found freedom gets some in trouble.
And some need serious help. I hope that if that is the case he will get what he needs.
@Elux - agree. He is a good person that made a silly mistake, like so many of us. He'll learn from it and move on in life. Hopefully others will also learn from this.
Drinking and driving has killed a number of innocent people- it sucks that Kyle is in the public eye, but maybe he can lead by example and learn from this experience to be a more positive role model. Call a cab next time.
we all make mistakes. The beauty is, he has a second chance and nobody got hurt.
