Not at all surprised, I always thought he would be arrested for TUI. Tweeting under the influence.


PRICELESS

If this was a relapse, that's indeed sad news.

Insofar as the NFL personal conduct policy INCLUDING owners, this will be a first for Goodell and it will be interesting to see how Goodell responds. If he does nothing, that will be a big mistake, IMO.

 

[thenepatsrule]

Now that he has been arrested, Will we bring him in for a looksie next year ??

Bob Kravitz ✔ @bkravitz
I would doubt that Jim got popped for drinking. He says he hasn't had a drop in years. I'd bet the house it's drugs.

Kravitz is the most famous/notorious columnist in Indianapolis. If he tweeted that, it means something - - otherwise, he'd be facing one hell of a libel suit from a very rich man.

Goodell cunning as he is will find some team to penalize for some very minor mistake and the media will blow it out of proportion and this incident will be swept under the rug.

Somewhere ....... Peyton is laughing his azz off

Given how wealthy he is, I think I know the drug he was busted with. He certainly doesn't looked hammered in the picture.

While it has been observed thousands of times, is there some reason these heavy drinking/partying/drug-using multi-millionaires cant or don't want to hire a full time driver??

I don't get it.

Any reason?

My very thought, Danger. In fact they should have full-time keepers.

Have to go with a gumpism here.

.....and that particular owner has more than a few "stupids" in his past. His life is Chris Farley in "Tommy Boy".

Damn it! You beat me to post my joke.

I'm taking credit for it anyway because I thought of it before you posted.

Is telling people what you guess happened really libel? I have a hard time believing that it is considering how many people say they think Tom Cruise is gay but haven't been suffocated underneath an army of lawyers.

Is giving your opinion really libel? Serious, I don't know, IANAL.

Yeah I was thinking Jenkem too.

I'm sure that Irsay feels like he's above the law, and with his money he may be.

I'll be surprised if Goody the Jet does anything.

Substance abuse is a lot more complex than that. If he indeed struggles with issues around alcohol or other chemical intoxicants, I hope he gets the treatment he needs and I wish him well.

The only thing "stupid" he might have done is not use a few dollars of his many millions to have a full time driver.

I do, however, agree that Goodell should apply the NFL's policies in this regard in an unbiased manner consistent with the NFL's expectations of the owners and officers of its Franchises and consistent with the firmness with which players are treated. There can't be a double standard.

This thread probably belongs in another forum.

We have to bail Kenny Britt out so we can see him first.
