It’s still unclear why Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw is behind bars, but his father suggested to the New York Daily News that it has nothing to do with the legal trouble Bradshaw had in college.
The Daily News reports that James Bradshaw, Ahmad Bradshaw’s father, was reached by telephone last night and “would only say that the probation violation had to do with a previous juvenile offense unrelated to the player’s run-ins with the law while at the University of Virginia and Marshall University.”
That contradicts the theory floated by Tom Rock of Newsday that either one or both of Bradshaw’s two college arrests violated his probation from when he was a juvenile, and that’s why he’s currently serving 30 days in jail.
But it still doesn’t answer a very simple question: Why is Bradshaw in jail? His lawyer won’t say, the team won’t say, and everyone is left to wonder.

I thought of this reading the other comments on how it could be a probation violation from the previous arrests — what if it WAS a probation violation, but not for those arrests, but a positive drug test? Most probations have drug testing as a policy. And the Giants certainly wouldn’t want the NFL to know one of their players failed a court ordered drug test in the off-season.

We should put some odds on it.
5:1 Authorities found a large pile of draft suicide letters at his residence, all signed David Jacobs.
10:1 He was caught in Vegas wearing a champagne soaked shirt and a $100,00 watch
20:1 we see him a few months from now having a conversation with Chris Hanson on To Catch a Predator

I’m guessing weed. Why else would the Giants want to hide what he did?

The Giants are holding back until the PFT Arrest meter hits double digits.

I’d put 3:2 odds on a failed drug test.

I’ve got 2:1 odds on it being white-collar. Tax evasion / tax fraud / insurance fraud. These types are more likely to get the ol’ cover-up, because when it comes out it’s just another uninteresting story.

was he in buffalo recently? Maybe he was the driver of Marshawn Lynch’s car.

You can take the player out of trouble but you can’t take the trouble out the player. This is more than just bad luck this is the new PacMan.
