New Details on the Ryan Perrilloux Investigation

The Shreveport Times is now reporting that the investigation into LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux involves counterfeiting in the LaPlace, Louisiana area, and is a joint investigation involving the St. John Parish Sheriff’s Office, the US Secret Service, and the FBI.

We’re also hearing rumors, which we haven’t been able to confirm via a reliable media source, that Perrilloux’s involvement in the case is tangential and inconsequential, and that he isn’t a direct target of (read: suspect) the investigation.

We’re also a bit puzzled/irritated by LSU Head Football Coach Les Miles’ blatantly lying about his level of knowledge at yesterday’s press conference. As they say, we were born at night but not last night. Either a) Les Miles lied about how much he knew about the situation, or b) the man is even more clueless than his worst detractors claim he is and is wholly unqualified to be running a program of LSU’s stature. (Note that a and b are not mutually exclusive, but that’s a subject for another post.) Seems to us the man in the ridiculous hat could’ve simply said “I’m not going to comment on that situation at this time” and been done with it. We’re used to Miles and his staff lying about player injuries, and you can make an argument for that, but this isn’t the same thing.

As always, we’ll post more as new information becomes available.
