When the Lairds get down, they GET DOWN! Grandpa included.

Earlier in the month, we commented on a December 30th incident involving "suite-fightin man" Gerald Laird of the Detroit Tigers and his brother, Brandon Laird where they were arrested after getting into a drunken altercation with various people in a suite/lounge at a professional basketball game in the U. S. Airways Center in Phoenix. At the time, there was not much known about the incident other than that the brothers were arrested for disorderly conduct and assault.

Frankly, I thought there probably was a pretty good untold story here and it looks like I may have been right.

Michael Ferraresi of the Arizona Republic reports on further details regarding this very interesting incident.

Not only were Gerald Laird and Brandon Laird involved in this incident but the Lairds' uncle and grandfather were also apparently part of the festivities.

Piecing together the description of events in the article, it appears that the Lairds were shouting derogatory remarks towards Charlie House, the wife of Celtics forward, Eddie House and other women in the area after which Brandon Laird apparently took a swing at one of the women. A bartender also told police that Mrs. House complained that she was being harassed prior to the fight. Mrs. House reportedly left the arena's lounge after accusing the Laird's 70-year-old grandfather of touching her inappropriately.

Gerald Laird said he felt that he was in danger and just trying to "watch the game and have some fun," according to his statements to police. He also told police the fight involved "some lady inside that was bragging about her husband playing for the Celtics."

"I don't know, I didn't try to hurt anyone or strike anyone," Laird told one officer. "The next thing I knew. I was in handcuffs."

Wow! This is something else!

Three generations of Lairds "getting down" at this basketball game.

On top of that, grandpa ALLEGEDLY getting freaky and doing..... well something with a woman at the bar.

What the....?

Where is grandma in all of this?

If she was anything like my late grandma, let me tell you that this behavior by these guys would absolutely NOT be tolerated.

And grandpa's ALLEGED behavior?!

Oh man, let's just say if it was my grandma, you would see the mother (no pun intended) of all French-Canadian beatdowns. It wouldn't be pretty. You are not going to ALLEGEDLY grope other women while being married to grandma. Grandpa would be confronted with a whole five feet of raw unrestrained Quebec fury.

Maybe there is no grandma in the picture with the Lairds.

If not, that might explain a lot.
