The roof! The roof! The roofies on fire!

Courtesy Deadspin (who was only marginally better about not winding the Yankees’ crank in The Closer today), who got it from someone else, it’s the story that won’t go away! Apparently, according to a source close to the situation (read: a son-in-law who writes at about an eighth-grade level), Ohio U. football coach Frank Solich wasn’t drunk when he took a nap in his still-running car as it rested on the curb, he was drugged!

If you can make it through the monstrosity known as the e-mail portion of the Deadspin post, you’ll see more than a few solid points made in the comments. Even better, you’ll see a number of backhanded shots at Ohio University. (I’ve been there twice, and all I remember is going out with this guy’s wife and seeing some chick get a bloody nose.)

Does “Jon” really think that he’s got something? The GHB effect on the blood-alcohol content (or lack thereof) is amusing enough, but to think that someone really tried to slip a 50-some year old football coach a roofie? Please.

Although, while I believe the credibility of this story is somewhere far below zero, I also think someone should check in on where Duke’s lacrosse team was that night. You know, just to be sure.
