Petrino coverup gets deeper (UPDATED With Toonage) and 911 call

Bobby Petrino

Haha! The botched coverup of Bobby Petrino's motorcycle accident and mistress continues to deepen.

A report today by KARK-TV says that contrary to Petrino's original story, the 1st person called to the scene of his "accident" was State Police Captain Lance King...who, just so-happens to be Petrino's escort to and from games.

And if you read closely, it appears King may have actually driven Petrino's mistress, 25-year-old Jessica Dorrell from the scene to her car...before taking "Coach" to the hospital. That is emphasized in the part saying that "an officer arriving on the scene, found nobody there". Oh, and we might add, it definitely wasn't Petrino who called 911.

The KARK-TV story is RIGHT HERE

This just keeps getting worse. Or better if you are like many outside the state of Arkansas who have little, if any love for Petrino.

The impression that one gets here is he (Petrino) knew full well what might happen if Dorrell was discovered and he tried the only way he knew how...to cover it up.

In anyplace outside the SEC, the sequence of events, and more importantly, the lame attempt at a cover-up would get him fired.

We think Arkansas A.D Jeff Long will try to draw his "Investigation" out as long as he can, which given the unfolding events, may not take very long. Long, we believe will suspend Petrino, for 2 games and try to move on.

But the damage is now done. The accident is almost secondary here. It's more about the lies. The lie Petrino made about his apparent mistress and the attempt at covering it up. And then the appearance that he found her a job on his "Staff".

Yeah, we said it.

This is just a quckly falling house of cards. Petrino is quickly losing any credibility that he has with potential recruits. Think about it. What family is going to trust their child to him? How can they believe anything the man says?

Short of a TV News video story, we can think of nothing else more appropriate here:



PM UPDATE: Chris Vernon has already broken out in song over the story...

Here's KFSM's report on the Arkansas State Patrol wanting to discuss the matter with Captain King...
