Apparently Baltimore Ravens quarterback Steve McNair was arrested early this morning in Nashville and charged with being black a misdemenor DUI. This isn’t all that shocking until you find out that he pulled it off without even driving the car. McNair was a passenger in his own truck, which was being driven by his brother-in-law, when it was pulled over for speeding. Oddly, Tennessee law holds the passenger resposible for the condition of the driver. I’m not sure what to think of this law but it seems a little rediculous to me. Granted, it probably isn’t too smart (or safe) to let drunk people drive your car around but I know I’m not going to give anyone a field sobriety test and I don’t carry a breathalizer with me.

Yeah when I read this in the morning I was thinking how 1) I never heard of such a law 2) it might be a race thing 3) why would he be driving with someone who was hammered?
