Cable channel truTV has nice resume builder for Ole Miss Coach Andy Kennedy if he ever wants to get into television.

The coach got some reps last week on the channel’s Hot Pursuit show via the previously-released video of Kennedy being arrested in 2008 in Cincinnati for punching and slurring a local cab driver. (He pleaded down to a lesser charge and got probation and community service.)

The video has been out and all over the web for over a year, but the mocking commentary from voiceover dude makes it worth a watch one more time.

For example, after Kennedy tells officers as they cuff and stuff him that if he isn’t at his game the next day, “this is an INTERNATIONAL ALTERCATION!”

Announcer guy retort: “Quick, call NATO, Andy Kennedy’s been arrested.”

That’s not to say I completely disagree with Kennedy’s sentiment.

Last December, Ole Miss basketball coach Andy Kennedy was back in his old stomping grounds of Cincinnati, where he had previously taken over the Bearcats on an interim basis after Bob Huggins bugged out. And during his visit, Kennedy saw some old friends - and made new enemies, after he was arrested for cursing out & assaulting a cabbie.

It became such a shocking & embarrassing story that Andy’s wife Kimber actually countersued the cabbie, claiming that the ordeal had taken its toll on the Kennedys’ sex life. Well, Mrs. K, get ready from some hot ‘n’ heavy conjugal cuddling with your hubby, as Andy has pleaded guilty in the case.
