Weighing in on KK

Ah hell, might as well - everybody else is doing it.

I'm convinced Kenton Keith is bad news. A wannabe gangster with a long, long way to go before he even remotely approaches adulthood. And he attracts trouble with seemingly minimal effort.

As for the incident in question: it's possible KK was provoked. It's also possible he's a hothead who instigated the conflict. I'm content to let the truth (hopefully) come out in the courts.

So, what do the Riders do? Well, there's not much they can do. Granted, any player can be cut at any time. But I'd only be inclined to do that if Keith's production continues to tail off. Or, if he's convicted on this assault charge. Until then, keep giving him the ball and hope - hope he breaks out of his early season slump, and hope he shows the requisite off-field maturity to justify his continued presence on the Roughrider roster.
