Former Alabama and Oakland Raider great Ken “Snake” Stabler was arrested in Robertsdale, AL (a Baldwin County burg not too far from his hometown of Foley) after being pulled over and cited for reckless driving and driving under the influence of alcohol. His first came in 1995, and his 2nd in 2001. Stabler, who has lately been the color commentator (and a damn good one, I must say) for the University of Alabama’s football radio team, starred for the team in the 1960s, famously leading the Tide to an undefeated, untied, and ultimately uncrowned 11-0-0 1966 season. Considering the PR nightmare this could cause, do not be surprised to see Stabler ousted in the fall. My buddy Armchair Talking Head has already made one request: no Jay Barker. Whether he’s still traumatized by the end of the 1993 Alabama-Tennessee game (the last tie in Alabama football history), or he’s insanely jealous of Barker’s fiance, I don’t know. However, having listened to him a few times on WJOX in the morning, I can say I definitely agree with him. Perhaps another former Alabama quarterback can be talked into doing it. Unless, of course, the Jets are struggling and Suzy Kolber is around.
By the way, here is the mug shot of the Snake. It’s kinda…well, sad

I can look at that pic and smell the liquor on his breath.
