Gerald Laird, Eddie House’s wife, and a dirty old grandfather

About a month ago, Detroit Tigers catcher Gerald Laird was arrested when him and his brother were involved in a fight at a Suns game. Details were scarce at the time but alcohol was believed to be a mitigating factor.

No big deal, people get into fights all the time at games right?

But, fast forward to this past Tuesday when a police report was obtained by the Arizona Republic and its quickly gone from innocent drunken disorderly to an episode of Jerry Springer.

It all started when Laird’s 70 year old grandfather felt up the wife of Celtics guard Eddie House, Charlsie. No, I’m not joking. This started because an old man copped a feel.

The Dec. 30 arrest of Tigers catcher Gerald Laird and his younger brother, Brandon, stemmed from an incident at a Celtics-Suns game in Phoenix, Ariz. after Laird’s grandfather allegedly groped the wife of Celtics guard Eddie House, according to a police report released Tuesday.

House’s wife Charlsie accused Laird’s 70-year-old grandfather of touching her inappropriately while watching the game from a lounge at the U.S. Airways Center. A bartender told police House claimed she was being harassed prior to the fight, The Arizona Republic reports.

The fight then started when Brandon Laird, a Yankees prospect took a swing at some of the women

Officers who responded to the fight said Brandon, 22, shouted derogatory remarks toward House and other women at the lounge before taking a swing at one of the women, according to the report. The Yankees’ prospect was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

So let’s backtrack for a moment here and review. A bunch of men from the Laird family got drunk before a basketball game, swore at a bunch of chicks, then their dirty ‘ol grandfather felt up a players wife followed by the youngest son taking a swing at said women.

Really?

All we need now is a baby mama, a hooker, a kilo of blow, and the Grand Wizard of the KKK to make a decent Jerry Springer highlight reel.
