Sorry bout that dude, I sympathize with you on this one. Old codgers tend to forget all the stupid shit they did that probably should've gotten them either thrown under the jail or killed. I am one, but I haven't forgotten. My life is littered with mistakes. I'm just glad to be on a board now where there are a significant number of perfect old codgers that never made mistakes.Quote:

It likely cost him $100ks if not $1Ms.
Second, He's the face of the university at the moment.
He could've called dozens of people to drive him home, including university president.
Third, while I agree with Barkley that athletes shouldn't be roll models, for some kids they are.
Of all those 8 to 12 year olds running around in 15 jerseys, some of them are now more likely to engage in this idiotic behavior.
For all you idiots saying the SPD should've given him a pass, have you ever had a loved one affected by a dui?
It's a crime for a reason.
The .08 threshold is way too low... We have criminalized going out to eat and having a glass of wine these days. It's only the people driving at 1.3 or more that should get popped.
I think you 'd see thing a little different if you have had a family member killed by a drunk driver. If he did it he should have been arrested and punished.Quote:

"Dak getting a DUI is a good thing. Just last week the Cleveland Browns scouts were all over him. Of course Dak smiles and says all the right things to them but everyone knows that if there is one team he does NOT want to be drafted by it is the Browns.
So afterwards Dak talks to his agents who talks to a few teams that assure him that they are interested and there is nothing that would change that. So Dak does the one thing that would disqualify the Cleveland Browns from drafting Dak: getting a DUI. I'm sure the SPD were probably in on it too. After the Manziel fiasco the Browns cannot draft another SEC QB that seemingly likes to drink. Problem averted."
This is exactly how OM and the CL would spin this story if it were Eli or Chad Kelly. Get with the program guys.
Two drink max and you'll be fine. Want more than two drinks don't drive. Call Uber, a taxi or a friend BEFORE you go out. That's where people make the mistake. They don't spend money when they are sober to get them to the bar without their vehicle. Then they drink too much and lose their discipline to not just drive their own vehicle home. If your car isn't with you you can't possibly drive it home. Yea it sucks paying $40 on Uber to and from but it's way better than getting a DUI. Also don't be on the road after midnight. You're a fish swimming in a pool full of sharks at that time of night. All the cops out are looking to bust everyone for DUIs. If you've had more than two and you're driving after midnight you're just asking to get a DUI. Gotta be smart before even leaving the house.Quote:

Totally agree.Quote:

dak has to be smarter but ******* how terrible is spd. some moron who never done shit thinks he's some big dick - GOT DAK BAWS. OH YEAAAA.
die scrub
If this was a roadblock or check point ... And Dak wasn't ripped drunk or being a dick to the officer , SPD has got to let this go.. Let him call someone to come get them, something..Quote:

But If this is a case of an officer pounding his chest over this , then that's BS..
And yeah where are Daks boys?.? **** no reason this guy should be driving drunk or sober..
The result of this is...
Dak gets off , and the lawyers get paid..
Hurts his cred and draft status
Ex players and NFL guys see shit like this and don't like coming back here.. ( AD and the cowbell fiasco).. Not saying this keeps players from coming back here but it damn sure don't help..
In the end it's on Dak.. Period..
Might better check ur boys or women you roll with... They can't let this happen...
Exactly...Quote:

I agree. Ref. What they did is better for us and also better for Dak in the long run.Quote:

We've heard for years the SPD has an antagonistic relationship with our football players - this is just more evidence of it. And I put this partly on Mullen for not making an effort to cultivate a good relationship with SPD.Quote:

That's how low the BA level is now."
That said, I'm guessing the Clarion Liar is making this a much bigger deal than it really is. The hell with all the flooding or other actual news in the state. Nope, a MSU football player and potential 2nd-3rd round Draft pick got a DUI. Splatter that shit all over the front page, baby!
Retarded response as usual when there's any criticism of your boy.Quote:
