Loss of Consortium

Ok. I'm getting sick of hearing people talk about how Andy Kennedy's wife, Kimber, filed a lawsuit against a cab driver because "now Andy can't get it up. LOLLZZ."

That's just not true. Loss of consortium does not mean erectile dysfunction. It could be as simple as he has his mind in other places or just feels distracted. Loss of consortium is defined as "a term used in the law of torts that refers to the deprivation of the benefits of a family relationship due to injuries caused by a tortfeasor."

For those of you who are unable to understand that simple definition, what it's saying is that Kimber's claim of loss of consortium could mean Andy is just too distracted and stressed out to undertake the duties of a father and husband. Now, it certainly has been used with regard to sexual problems, and rightfully so. There's a ton of case law out there to support that. I guess I'm just saying that loss of consortium could also be a lot of other things. Maybe it's that he's having trouble dealing with emotions with his family or that he's too distracted to want to listen to his family members' issues that arise on a day to day basis.

I think it's a little funny to joke about him sexually, but can everyone just get it through their heads that Andy Kennedy isn't permanently "limp-dicked" and may not be "limp-dicked" at all.

What We've Learned

I have been disappointed with David Brandt's Ole Miss coverage before, but he has been a hawk today, and he is reporting that not only will Andy Kennedy be on the floor tonight, but that he will, furthermore, be cleared of all charged.

We also have, courtesy of Brandt, a statement from Coach Kennedy's brother, Steve, who tells us that Andy was out for a "late night dinner" with some old Cincy friends (after the teams' 11:00 pm meeting), that Kennedy and four other members of the staff hailed a cab, and that the cabbie called Torrey Ward that word that is colloquially used to describe the sheriff of Rock Ridge. I'm not ready to lock up AK for hate crimes. To me, though, it still all sounds a little fishy, and I bet Banker Pete is kicking himself on the chance that he didn't include some provision for this sort of thing in Kennedy's contract.

Finally, we have also been reminded, once again, that State fans blow. Here is a bad touch conversation between two of them on one of Brandt's posts:

NashvilleBulldawg: FIRST!
ethanoldawg: NB I knew I should have posted quicker. I'm proud of you !
NashvilleBulldawg: Thank you, good sir. Congrats on being second.
NashvilleBulldawg: Man, it's sad but true: the rebel board is a ghost town, even with a story like this.

Internet supremacy has come to Starkville. Huzzah!
