Funny cops in Cincinnati:
A newly released police video shows Mississippi basketball coach Andy Kennedy pleading with an officer before his arrest on an assault charge.
"I’m begging you … this is a major deal, man," Kennedy told police.
He added: "This is going to be a national incident, sir."
Kennedy was arrested in downtown Cincinnati on Dec. 18 after a taxi driver said Kennedy hit him and used racial slurs.
On the video broadcast by WLWT-TV in Cincinnati, an officer warned Kennedy to do what police say.
"You turn on me one more time, I’m going to start making some more charges. Do you understand me?" an unidentified police officer told Kennedy.
Kennedy told an officer that he was formerly the University of Cincinnati head coach and was in town to play "Louisville and Rick Pitino" on national television.
Kennedy also told police on the video that he had a verbal altercation about how many people could ride in the cab, and that it "makes no sense" to arrest him.
In response to his pleas, an officer said: "You think we’ve never arrested somebody that’s made national media? … We deal with the Bengals all the time."
That is five kinds of awesome.

And six kinds of funny.
I really have nothing to add to this except I liked Jan Smithers over Lonnie Anderson on WKRP in Cincinnati.
Unlike “Cincinnati chili” which is a culinary abomination totally unworthy of the moniker “chili”. (One word: Terlingua.)
The human being within me feels slight pity for the Bengals after basking in the halo of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ unprecedented sixth championship in the face of the hardest regular season schedule in modern NFL history.
But as a Steeler fan since conception I think, “So what? It’s the fucking Bengals!”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! FUCK YOU SAM WYCHE!!!!!!
The most important person in modern NFL history remains Charles Henry Noll.
Bill Walsh pales in comparison.
The “West Coast Offense” languishes in anonymity with no modern practitioners.
Steeler football, as developed by Chuck Noll, remains the blueprint for NFL success.
Greene, Bradshaw, Greenwood, Harris, Ham, Stallworth, Lambert, Harris, Blount, Swann, Shell, Bleier, etc. etc. ET FUCKING C.
Not to mention Harrison, Roethisberger, Woodley, Parker, Smith, Holmes, Polamatu, Miller, Farrior, Russell, etc. etc. ET FUCKING C.
Truth is, it all stems from the Rooneys.
But Chuck got the ball rolling.
The fact is that the most important person in modern NFL history remains Charles Henry Noll.
Look it up.
“You can’t arrest me! I’m a Bush!”
Oh, wait …
Maybe this cop can arrest Joe the Plummer the next time he comes home, you know, for impersonating an economist.
Shoulda gone all Rodney King on BOTH their ugly, bald republiKKKan asses.
The Bengals have made national media? In what century? Certainly not this one.
It seems that Noll’s teams relied rather heavily on being much stronger than their opponents. Perhaps the team doctor and training staff might not, for some reason, be receiving their share of credit.
Someone, several years back, opened a Cincinnati chili parlor here in Philly. It lasted a month. Its like a dish from Pleasantville(B/W).
Are you sure you don’t mean the team steroid procurers? or am i just repeating wht you said?
yesh .. “skyline chili” sux …
you want real chili … go to texas …
yesyes
Um sorry tboggers – what the hell is with all the Cincy hate?
Skyline is a staple, along with Gold Star. And NO -I’m not a Republican.
Just like me some Cincy chili.
Whatever floats your boat – but you don’t have to hate on our Chili. Stick to the Bungles or (sadly) the Reds. Don’t mess with the Chili.
Football? Feh… The Cincinnati Bungles? Double feh… I lived in Cincinnati for a while, and I’ve never in my life run across a worse bunch of insular racists. Couldn’t wait to shake the dust of that place off my feet.
Aye, it is that. Once I got used to the idea of putting cinnamon in chili I snarfed down my share of 3-ways.
So, is this the Cincy version of the old SNL skit ‘da Bears’?
Didn’t the chili come out of the Italo-Mexican or Asian-Mexican community there? Noodles – WTF? A little sweet tasting, but otherwise okay to this decidedly-lacking-in-Texan-chili-palate Oregonian.
Well, about all we have to be proud of sports-wise in the Queen City these days is our chili. (I guess UC football and Xavier hoops, but still no championships to brag about.)
Anyway don’t know the true history on Cincy Chili – I do know that the founders of Skyline were Greek.
It really is an acquired taste. But – a four way with extra onions and a few coneys – perfect way to warm up on a wintery day.
Texas is pointing at Ohio and laughing?
Strange story.
The video can be seen Here
Not too funny what the cab driver said happened.
Ole Miss basketball coach Andy Kennedy was charged Dec. 18 in Cincinnati with misdemeanor assault for allegedly punching cab driver Mohamed Jiddou while shouting racial slurs at him after leaving a downtown bar.
On the day after his arrest, Kennedy filed a defamation lawsuit against Jiddou and Michael Strother, a valet who backed Jiddou’s claims. Three days later, the suit was amended to include Kennedy’s wife, alleging that the claims against her husband were slanderous and had harmed the couple’s personal relationship, including their sex life.
So Andy and his missus are apparently claiming not only that the assault charge won’t stand up in court, but also that “lil’ Andy” won’t stand up in the bedroom.
Bleah. Skyline.
You don’t put cloves, cinnamon, or beans in chili.
Something like a dozen Bengals have been arrested for mayhem over the past three years. The arrests were national news. I know, because I’m a simple minded fan of the NFL. A couple of dozen more have likely been quietly kicked loose prior to charges being filed. If the Cincinnati cops had a sense of humor, they’d place decals of the arrests on the sides of their patrol cars. You know, like the Rising Suns Ronald Reagan slapped on his plane in ‘Hellcats Of The Navy’.
Cincinnati Bengals, not even bad enough to be the Detroit Lions.
I’m one of the few ‘Nattians rooting for Pittsburgh because I detest the Bengals’ owner, Mike Brown, who defrauded the taxpayers. The Bengals will never do well because of bad karma. Trust me. Marion in Savannah, I understand where you’re coming from, believe me. But Hamilton County did go “blue” in ‘08, believe it or not, for the first time in, like, 400 years or something. Thanks for the post, TBOGG. Though I’ve met quite a few very nice police people here, I would not say as a group they are known for their sense of humor.
No need to hate the Cincy 3- or 4- or 5- way as long as you understand that when they say “chili” they’re using the same word for a completely different dish.
