Odds and Ends: Shackleford is cleared

A couple of weeks ago, we told you how Reds pitcher Brian Shackelford was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault in a hotel room. Today, Shackleford was completely exonerated and his attorney was told he would not be charged. No further details were available. The media likes to report on athletes getting arrested but tends not to follow up when it turns out they’re innocent. We’re just helping to clear his name.

odds and ends Shackleford cleared — If he is innocent then I’m glad he has been cleared. But I came to know Shack under circumstances which lead me to believe this guy is a real piece of trash. I was introduced to this guy last year by my then girlfriend. I found him to be a drunken coward who has very little talent. I can’t seem to understand why a pro ball club would pay a guy a guy who rarely pitches over an inning but goes out every night and gets trashed. It’s the good old boy system alive and well and he must be somebody’s boy. Maybe an Oklahoma contact. This guy snowed me into trusting him like a sleezy car salesman. I was gullable because I trusted my then Girlfriends judgement. This message is to all those fathers out there like myself. Do you want creep like that running around your daughters. I guess the REDS management does’nt mind.
