She doesn't owe anyone an explanation. A 19 year old having a beer is a non event. Thus is typical media irresponsibility. If this wasn't a UT player and was just a normal college student, do they report?
No.
So this was done for sensationalism.

Yep, and Jalen was having a beer in any other non-theocratic nation on the planet he wouldn't have been violating any law. Our underage consumption laws as currently written are wrong!

I'm not blaming the police, because they are only enforcing the laws on the books. However, I think its outrageous that we have such ridiculous laws on the books in the first place. We are the only non-theocratic nation on this planet that bans a 19 year old (who is old enough to fight and die for this country and is treated as an adult for all other purposes) from having a beer in the privacy of his own home.

Good for her! I'm glad someone is standing up and not taking any **** from the so called "press."

Once again, the OL should have blocked better and Jalen would have gotten through this untouched.

Don Mahoney needs to teach his guys to take care of things.

This mother, like any mother, is invested in the reputation of her son. Her story may be the truth, or it might have a mother's bias slant. The kid does seem to be a good kid!

Back in my day the drinking age in TN was 18. Crisis averted. Then they decided you could fight in wars and vote, but you did not have sense enough to drink alcohol responsibly. Just another hypocritical aspect of our society. Thanks for setting the record straight, momma. How utterly ridiculous that the media and others are criticizing Jalen over a citation that should not have happened. Good lesson for him, though. As a star, he needs to know that there will be others out there wanting to take him down that are not on the football field.

These reporters are very much in need of a real job! What should be done is the public start investigations of each reporters personal life and placing it on public media and discredit these donkeys

The Tennessean is a rag! Sports department is a joke. Joe Biddle the last relevant writer they had. They take every opportunity to bash the Vols while covering for Same Old Vandie. :crazy:

Keep in mind legions of drunk co-eds descend upon Neyland every gameday. I've seen a group unload from a limo, with one staggering so badly she had to be held between two friends (at a noon game!) right in front of the cops. No one says anything.

This is simply absurd targeting of a football player. As said before, if a major crime isn't occurring and no one is being endangered by the player's behavior, look the other freakin way.

I have seriously thought about doing this. Go to THEIR homes and offices. Post findings publicly and make sure to omit as much relevant information as desired in order to paint the necessary picture. Just gotta figure out how to get the money to have enough time to waste for that.

The moral of this story is....Don't loan your car to anyone. That's how all this got started. Then the police have no reason to visit you at home looking for the owner. Unfortunately if you open your door and in plain site there are illegal things going on .....your just caught. My problem with all arrests athletes or no is these guys seem to forget how out is to be young. Most of them hold these kids to standard's that they themselves didn't live by. Just saying

Yes. If I was the parent I would be much more upset that the car was loaned to a friend. This is just plain old bad judgement.

The other lesson is to not open your door. They can't come in your apartment/dorm room/hotel room/house without a warrant unless they can prove that someone's life is in immediate danger.

Now that is exactly what you do! not only can they not come in your room, you don't even have the open the door! Let then just stand out there!

Ahh, memories. I can distinctly remember the cops knocking on doors in our hallway at Hess on multiple occasions. The only only lesson Jalen needs to learn is to know who is on the other side of that door before opening it. Gotta hide those beers.

I spent 1 1/2 years in Hess. Some great memories. Thankfully none that involved the cops. The RA's on the other hand, I am sure were tired of us by the time we left there.

I bet the Tennessean is run by Ole Miss or Saban.

No......Vanderbilt. A poster in a previous post here said Joe Biddle was the only good reporter they had......he was a Florida homer with a man crush on Spurrier.

The Tennessean couldn't wait to get their hands on the AJ/Williams story. Just getting back at UT when the Vandy rape scandal occurred.

Even the UT flagship station, 104.5 in Nashville, is afraid to talk too positively about UT. Vandy people seem to think that Nashville is THEIR town. Vandy, like Auburn, is a private school, and not the state supported school.
WE ARE UT!

Actually, Auburn is also state supported. Part of the reason they actually have fans

This is great news. JH knows to watch out for the KPD without really getting into trouble.

Never loan out your car or your woman. You're liable to get a rod slung in either one of 'em.

What is more disturning then what the newspaper is doing with the story..is how the police handled the situation. It is amazing to me how the police have the right to cite you for anything that happens in the privacy of your own domicile that is not causing another person harm.

The idea of liberty in this country is slowly getting pissed away, and we the American people are letting it happen without so much as a word in rebuttle. All because we want the government to make us feel safe instead of taking responsibility for the safety of our own families like men. JMHO

Not to belittle the other folks deaths by cops but....

We need

I can't drink beer in my dorm room t shirts.

This is cops taking it too far in my opinion.

Sounds like she's a little bit of an enabler. She should say... Look my son parties a little bit. Hell, he's a Damn college kid. At least it wasn't meth. Instead she seems to be trying to paint him as innocent. And he had to be drinking at the time or we would have been charged with minor in possession as opposed to underage drinking. Either way it's a non story.
