KFAN Announcer KBusted for Methamphetamine

Minneapolis/St. Paul sports fans were rocked this weekend after longtime KFAN radio personality Jeff “Puffy” Dubay was arrested in a nearby suburb for possession of methamphetamine. He was picked up Wednesday night and released Friday morning without charges, but considering it’s freaking meth which is a freaking felony we’re talking about here, expect charges to be formally filed very soon.

KFAN Radio - Dubay

Dubay’s co-host, Paul “P.A.” Allen, told readers of KFAN’s blog that he has “a million things I’d like to say/write about this current ordeal but cannot due to company policy/requests,” which is probably a hell of a lot harder to write than it is to read. On that note, don’t expect KFAN to spend any airtime on the subject, for obvious reasons, but don’t expect to hear “Doobers”–oh god, his nicknames are “Puffy” and “Doobers”? Are we sure he wasn’t picked up for weed?–on the air for a good long while, either.

Meth is a rotten beast of a drug, and if he was using it, Dubay’s actually lucky to have gotten arrested now before he started losing his teeth, hair, and skin. Oh, and his house, family, and job. Those too.

It’s fine to make jokes at the expense of the successful, since they can call Scoreboard at any time and it’s an automatic win. It’s far worse to kick a man–or woman, child, or family pet, for that matter–when he (or she) is down, and if you think you know “down,” odds are pretty damned good that you’ve never been “millions of people know you just got arrested for meth” down, partner.

Here’s to hoping (sigh) Puffy gets his act straightened out soon, and the sports world can resume its regularly scheduled activity of criticizing how he acts on the air, not off it.

    Puffy is a stupid name.

    Well said, Adam … Life is tough enough right now without throwing a meth habit into the mix … Hope Doobers can work through this …
