“sir, put down the reuben”

Yeah, we’re a little late on this because of, you know, work and all. But I would be remiss if I didn’t blog something about the latest incident of Florida Gators hamming it up.

I know, I know, they’re easy targets, what with the Gators having 10 — that’s right, TEN — arrests since last year’s national championship victory over Ohio State. (Yet, Tennessee’s struggles several years ago were plastered all over national publications, but all the national media can talk about this week is Tim Tebow’s Heisman campaign. … Interesting.)

Regardless of the minuscule attention this has received thus far, this incident takes the salami.

Apparently, Gators starting DE Jermaine Cunningham, ex-Gator linebacker John Demps and world-class sprinter and former LSU football player Xavier Carter were arrested and jailed in an Alachua County jail for assaulting a Jimmy John’s (Not the Worthless Alabama Fullback/Tailback/Bench Warmer) Subs employee at approximately 2:15 a.m.

Demps

According to reports, the employee told Demps he needed to pay for a bag of potato chips (God forbid). See, the problem here is that Florida players are not used to having to pay for ANYTHING. Demps thought this was a bunch of bologna.

After the request, a disturbance ensued with the players pelting the employee with cups and a sandwich. What a bunch of turkeys (This just doesn’t get old?)

Cunningham even faked a run up the middle before chucking his sub at the employee and ripping off his shirt to show his Superman shirt and Tim Tebow tattoo before attacking the employee and dry-humping him while screaming Tony Joiner’s name. (OK, I made that last part up.)

But anyway, Demps and Cunningham fled the scene after committing the “battery with a deadly sandwich.” That part disappoints me most because it robbed us of this classic scene:

Police officer (drawing his gun): “Son, put down the Reuben, and no one gets hurt.”

Cunningham: “I’ll throw it, I swear! I love this $%&#! sandwich, but I’ll throw it.”

Backup officer: “You’re surrounded, kid. The Turkey on Wheat will only get you in trouble. Lay down the sandwich.”

Demps: “You heard the pig, Jermaine. Show’s over, bro.”

Cunningham: “They ain’t even got my sandwich right, though, man. It’s a Chicken Club (tears streaming). YOU HEAR ME! A CHICKEN CLUB!! (Being cuffed now). Rye!? Rye are you arresting me??”

Employee: “This is the most action Jimmy Johns has seen all season. If this Jimmy Johns was in Tuscaloosa, it would be quiet all year.”

Urban Meyer’s punishment for Cunningham will probably be a solid week of making him eat only Quizno’s leading up to the bowl game, he’ll be suspended for one play without pay and end up having four tackles for loss and a sack against Michigan in the Capital One Bowl.

    Sir, Jimmy Johns is not a worthless fullback!!

    He’s a worthless tailback. Wait, I’m not sure he even has a position.

    I’m surprised you failed to mention that at least Jimmy Johns the sandwich shop delivers.

    What a delicious post…one could even call it meaty…

    Illinois? Capital One Bowl? Are my sarcasm detector batteries still dead? Stupid Duracells…

    My bad, Crunch. Everybody wanted to see Florida-Illinois. I’ll fix that blunder immediately.

    It should have been Florida - Illinois. The Illini have no business in a BCS bowl.

    I agree. Illinois does not belong in the BCS. I would replace them with a team like, oh I don’t know, Alabama. (Crunch, you should be able to pick up on this one). And yes, Florida-Illinois would have been a better game.

    Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmmm Mmm Mmm … Toasty.

    I hope they weren’t toasted, that might constitute felony assault…might lead to 2nd degree cheese burns
