Mississippi basketball coach Andy Kennedy, who was arrested in downtown Cincinnati on December 18th after a taxi driver said the coach hit him and used racial epithets, was also caught on videotape by the cops. The crux of the dispute was that the taxi driver would not allow more people than the rules state to squeeze into a cab. We have all been there, you just have to take two cabs, Coach, it is not the end of the world. But instead of exercising a little patience Coach Kennedy went ape shit, allegedly.

The funniest part however is the newly released police video tape. Kennedy was caught on tape pleading with officers, according to the Associated Press, "I'm begging you ... this is a major deal, man. This is going to be a national incident, sir." The cop's response says it all, stay classy Cincinnati, "You think we've never arrested somebody that's made national media? ...We deal with the Bengals all the time."
