I know, crazy concept**

So you believe a guy that tested over the limit deserves no punishment? OK. For the record see my post in the outdoor weekend thread.

It's a mistake -- it's a costly one, but it's a mistake nonetheless. As long as he isn't making a habit of it, that should be that. "I wouldn't draft him because of it" is just damn stupid.

Less than 1% of people that drink and drive hit someone. Calm down Francis

he will drop a round at the most- its not going to hurt him "BAD"

No, not if he was illegally detained. We have laws for a reason. Entrapment is not "cops doing their jobs". As mentioned several times this thread, SPD is known for pulling this kind of stuff, and this doesn't just concern Dak; I'd feel the same for any Joe Blow.

Sometimes good people make bad decisions, and sometimes those bad decisions end in tragedy. That doesn't make them bad people.

You are vastly overreacting and are coming across as an intolerant priss with her panties in a wad. For all the tremendous good Dak has done, for all the fine examples he has set in his 4 years at MSU, you are ready to throw him under the bus for one mistake.

I'm quite sure I'd take Dak every day of the week and twice on Sundays over you for the Model Citizen award.

I haven't been out driving though. He threw himself under the bus by drinking and then driving. It won't end his career. Thank goodness for him the cop did his job and possibly kept that from happening. .

If character flaws kept GMs from drafting people the NFL wouldn't exist.

But he didn't.

Alright, first off, who were the dickheads that let Dak Prescott drive off from a ****ing bar, especially in the Cotton District. They should have their asses kicked. Secondly, why would any STARKVILLE cop give Dak a mother****ing dui? Two things, he was driving erratic and was visibly drunk driving--which meant the cocksuckers..or somebody at the bar knew he was drinking...and let him drive off anyway. Or, the arresting officer obviously doesn't give a **** about the university that resides in the town that he serves. This is bullshit. I'll bet he was within a mile from his destination. Have someone pick him up!

That's a great comfort to the victims of the 1% I'm sure.

I think the interested NFL teams will interview him again. They will vet this situation and dig into everything they had previously given him the benefit of the doubt on. If I'm a GM, i want to ask more questions now about some of the issues he had that involved drinking while in school where he was the victim(spring break, etc.). That being said, i think he will be able to answer those questions to their satisfaction and this will not hurt him too bad unless when the nfl digs and they see something they don't like, which i don't see happening. He made a awful mistake, one many fine men have made and learned from. I am just thankful no one was hurt.

Sanctimonious much?

Then that wouldn't be entrapment. He would have been arrested at the scene.

He got arrested, had to sit in jail, probably got his license suspended and probably paid $2-5000 in attorney fees because a cop saw him driving away from a bar. I don't call that scot free.

Attempted murder is a specific intent crime.

Nope. I just don't have much if any tolerance for drinking and driving. I DO drink. There are some things you just don't do. That's one of them. If you do it and get caught you should have to pay the price. Our laws in the US are WAY to soft on this.
