Breaking News: Yet ANOTHER Longhorn Arrested Tuesday Night

Not 6 hours after Mack Brown was finished answering questions about yet another Longhorn incident with the law did the police blotter light up burnt orange once again - this time when Texas blogger Peter Bean was arrested by DEA agents in a Tuesday night raid of his South Bend, Indiana apartment.

Federal agents seized nearly $3,500 of illegal steroids from the home of Mr. Bean in a bust the Justice Department is calling "significant and critical to sending the right message to those who would choose illegal means to gain an advantage over their competitors."

A source close to the investigation says federal agents were tipped off to Mr. Bean's alleged involvement in steroids use when a disgruntled reader of Mr. Bean's fast-growing Longhorns website "Burnt Orange Nation" complained to the DOJ of "uncontrollable fits of rage and lashing out." Investigators staked out Mr. Bean's residence and, they allege, discovered his steroid use.

Mr. Bean was unavailable for comment as of press time Tuesday evening, but his attorney did release a statement to the media.

"Mr. Bean deeply regrets that he has let down his friends, his family, his colleagues, and his readers. He would like to apologize for any embarrassment that he has caused the University of Texas, Sports Blogs Nation, and overworked bloggers everywhere. Peter was operating under extreme duress as he attempted to keep up his writing duties while starting law school, and regrets turning to chemicals as a way to keep his edge."

Officials at the University of Texas were quick to distance themselves from Mr. Bean.

"We are not affiliated in any way with Mr. Bean, with Burnt Orange Nation, or with Sports Blogs Nation," said Ellen Steckman, Vice President for Legal Affairs at the university. "Mr. Bean's reckless behavior is something that is beneath an institution of higher learning. We assure you that his arrest is not the ninth incident involving this football program in the past four months."

The talking points coming from the headquarters of Sports Blogs Nation were more upbeat. Tyler Bleszinski, who serves as president of the booming sports blogging network, dismissed media questions that his bloggers were beginning to operate as rogues.

"I'll put our long-term record up against any blog network in the country," Bleszinski said. "Peter's actions are not indicative of the type of blogger who writes for this network. We will handle the disciplining of this issue with all due diligence, but reiterate that there is not a bigger problem here."

Though Bleszinski was adament that the situation was under control, his statements were not enough to satisfy certain members of Congress who learned of the breaking story. Presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle raced to send out a press release, but Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona once again stole the biggest headlines with his firm denouncement.

"This has gone on quite long enough," McCain said. "It is time the American people step up to this wave of destructive behavior which is ruining the moral fabric of our society. It is time, indeed, for a jihad on steroids. This cannot and will not be tolerated."

At this point?

I'm surprised you didn't just just shrug.

(Hopefully you eventually chuckled...)

Damn, I just about...

had a stroke when I glanced at the title.  

I wondered how you reacted when I saw it right after it was post.  I guess that answered my question.  You are just like the rest of them on the team.  I guess it's time for me to fire one up to be part of the crowd

Does anyone think that is "The" Brandon Foster.  Sounds a bit defensive to me. Or could be Sooner Mom (revisited)?

My friend was saying that...

...most of the players that get arrested don't really contribute on the field. If that's true, this keeps that streak alive.

I knew your performance

as blogger extraordinaire had to be aided by some sort of performance enhancing drug.  How else could you provide an endless number of informative yet thought provoking posts?  This stinks man - now an asterisk next to this site in My Favorites.

Aww screw it - I forgive you.

I have two questions for you, Peter:
  1. Were you using "the cream" or "the clear"?
  1. Since I know I didn't release a statement to the media earlier this evening, who's your attorney if I'm not?

Nice piece. As an alumnus of a school that, like Texas, also has a classy, no-nonsense head coach who has to deal with too much moronic behavior by his athletes, I sympathize.

Go 'Dawgs!

I was there at the arrest

PB could be heard screaming "Dont Taze me, bro!  OW, OW, OW"

Typical liberal media focusing on the negative

I have on good authority that Peter Bean once generated $14 at a bake sale where the proceeds went towards building a playground for elementary school children. Let those who haven't human growth hormoned cast the first stone.

Looking forward

... to the REAL story, once the defendant gets his chance to explain (always seems to work in OJ's case). You could start by referring to the goings-on as a "mishap", which I believe is what Mr. Henry used to refer to his arrest/charge.

our support

All we can do is offer our support and caring and friendship to Peter Bean in this troubling phase of his life, while at the same time insisting that Sports Blog nation kick him off the team, offer their own personal contrition, and by the way, why not punish the whole Sports Blog Team, while they're at it.  Of course, we support Peter Bean and wish him only the best.  But somebody's gotta pay!  Everybody's gotta pay!!

I knew it

If you look at pictures of PB from his rookie year as a blogger and pictures of him now it was pretty obvious.

by Wells on Sep 19, 2007 6:31 AM CDT reply actions  

I'm more concerned

about all that "protective" gear he wears while blogging. I dare you to tell me that stuff doesn't give him a serious advantage...

So take that.

Ok what just happened?

and what is this hotlist that just showed up?

Sadly the only think i find irksome in that post is the use of the old Statesman layout.  We revamped it for a reason!
