This is as good a time as any for a Tyler Higbee update. This is direct from one of KYPack's secret Kentucky operatives. Sat nite in Bowling Green KY, Higbee and his GF were drinkin' in a BG bar. A drunken acting (although it was later found the guy HADN'T been drinkin') Middle Eastern lookin' dude started seriously hassling Higbee's chick. Higbee got all crazy on the guy, almost punched him and went generally nuts. Higbee and the GF went to another bar. There's only a handful of places you can rock and roll at in Bowling Green KY. The hassle guy appeared at that bar and began his act all over again. He kept bothering the GF and physically grabbed her. This time, Higbee threw the punch and laid the guy out. He was cold cocked and had both external bleeding to the face and internal bleeding in his addled brain. Higbee was spotted by both security& cops and he ran away. The cops chased him and caught his ass. And they laid on the charges. Drunk, real drunk, eluding the cops, lying to the cops, assault, assault and pepper, the whole bit. The "victim" is half way OK and got his etiquette lesson. Higbee screwed up his draft status and lost a good bit in this.

The big problem is that the incident happened where it did. If something like this happened in Pittsburgh to Gronk the week before his draft, you never would have heard a word. In Higbee's incident, he looks like Charlie Manson thx to the KY cops.

The big thing I learned is Higbee failed to elude the cops because he is recovering from a knee surgery he had in December. Never heard about that before.
