Not Kelly Campbell Too!

I'm afraid it's true. Our favorite wide receiver with the little body and the big mouth succumbed to the behavior of his counterparts. On Thursday, February 24th, Campbell was arrested in Atlanta on a drug and weapons charge. He was freed after posting an $8,000 bond.

According to the Associated Press, Campbell was charged with "possession of marijuana and theft by receiving stolen property involving a handgun." The drug charge doesn't bother me too much. Granted, a person in his position should think twice before jeopardizing his standing by smoking pot. But it's tough to be too hard on a guy for smoking a drug that is as common in as tobacco in California and Canada as well as the NBA and NFL.

But the weapons charge is a different story. What does Kelly Campbell need a gun for? He's a professional football player. I don't think his life has been threatened recently and even if it had, purchasing a stolen gun probably isn't the way to go.

There really isn't a lot to say about this situation. Kelly Campbell was found with a handgun that was reported stolen in Florida. It's a disappointment. It changes how I think of the little guy. It makes it tough to cheer for him.

The Vikings crime resume continues. I suppose I should have seen it coming. We got rid of one criminal/receiver, I suppose someone had to step into a leadership role. I just wish it hadn't been Campbell.
