here we go again...

Its funny how often this happens in the NFL versus other professional sports.

May 14, 2008  07:30 AM ET

It happens in all sports and in all professions.

May 14, 2008  07:31 AM ET

Yet other sports, namely basketball, get portrayed in a more negative light than the NFL does. Curious.

How can you blow almost double drunk on MULTIPLE tests and still have it listed as 'investigation of DWI'.

dont understand millionaires being too cheap to use a cab or a limo when they are drinking.

Samoans have a problem with alcohol just as native Americans do -- they are drunks. Check it out on Discovery Channel is a fact

They proabably are afraid to leave their expensive toys out for the night.

Is it just me or do so many NFL players seem to be getting in trouble with the law again this off season?

Another point, not a single one of them happen to be current players for the Dallas Cowboys.

To all you Cowboy haters out there & we know who you are:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Shove it where the sun don't shine.

good god. i've driven after drinking a million times. i know damn well that if you've had even just a glass of wine with dinner, drive the **** speed limit and not one mph more. throw the book at this moron.

good one cowboy dave. you would think on his pay check he could afford a cab or call a friend. ask leonard little about driving while drunk. granted he did not get the punishment vick did for killing dogs, but probation for killing a human being should set him straight. guess PETA has pull.

1.5 years since last Cowboy arrest, by NFL standards, makes the Cowboys almost choirboys.

Not sure what the cowboys have to do with this story but I guess some fans just have to mention their favorite team.

May 14, 2008  11:09 AM ET

The cops are racist! They're just picking on him because he isn't white!

There! I just had to get it in there before the usual suspects start plkaying the race card!

May 14, 2008  11:15 AM ET

The race card should NOT be played ever as we would be expeculating that ALL cops were white....We don not know that with all certanty, so stop that crap party people!!!!!

May 14, 2008  11:16 AM ET

Estimated 50mph in a 35?? Guess they don't have radar in Kirkland. Wonder what they will estimate his BAC at.

I can't believe this thug piece of trash is allowed to play in the NFL! Double the limit is just irresponsible! Goodell should suspend him for the season!

May 14, 2008  12:59 PM ET

How embarrassing for that family. His dad must be devastated.

 
May 14, 2008  01:01 PM ET
