Out of the mouths of babes....sometimes comes slobber.  Like his fellow tweener Derrick Rose a few months earlier, Patrick Kane drooled all over himself with his weekend arrest for allegedly beating up a Buffalo cab driver with his cousin.  I'm pretty sure his mugshot isn't the picture EA Sports had in mind when they made him the cover boy for their NHL 10 video game.  Also like D-Rose is with the Bulls, Kaner is #1 pick, Rookie of the Year, the face of the Blackhawks franchise and one of the NHL's emerging young stars.  While both of these phenoms perform like seasoned pros while playing their respective sports, we often forget they're much closer to pueberty than they are to being grown men.  Neither of them will be able to legally buy a beer until they both turn 21 later this fall (although I suspect both have had a "pop" or two).  Kane and Rose may already be millionaires but all the money can't in the world can't buy you maturity.  20-year old kids...even those in the media spotlight carrying the enormous weight of a team and city on their scrawny shoulders...often do stupid, dumb, thoughtless, reckless, and immature things (I know I did....thank God there were no camera phones then!!!).  While inexcusable, foolish behavior like flashing gang signs or roughing up a cabbie over $.20 shouldn't come as a complete shock.  (really? 20 cents?  I know times are hard, by c'mon Kaner!).  One of my favorite sayings is, "youth is wasted on the young".  Clearly, Patrick Kane and Derrick Rose aren't squandering their athletic talents.  Let's hope they learn a thing or two after skinning their knees....in front of all of us.
