Its amazing how often professional athletes end up on the wrong side of the law. The rate must be 5x the general public.

I agree with the OP. I´ll be looking forward to tomorrow´s halftime editorial from Bob Costas, telling us that Josh Brent would be alive today if it were not for the internal combustion engine.

The cops will be in serious trouble if the Cowboys lose.

Didn´t say why they were out at 230 am but it´s not hard to imagine why.Strip clubs probably close at 2.This is why Costas ranted about guns as a distraction to the sub culture behavior. Never did hear whether the Chiefs LB´s gun was legally registered.

These players can get off the hook on simple DUI charges but they can´t bring back dead friends. Maybe concussions will be blamed for this also.

Is Costas´ next rant going to be on reinstituting prohibition or banning cars?

Why not?????????! if not he owes Smith and Wesson an apology.

What OP and #5 said!!

I guess Bob Costas must do a rant on the evils of booze and fast cars now.

I´ll be saying a payer for the family of the victim.

These two men were college teammates.

Sorry........pRayer.

I´ll be saying prayers for both men. I have always told my son that a car is a lethal weapon, made more so when driving drunk. It is likely the only thing that could land him or his friends in jail.

Unfortunately, Brent got his one warning shot and did not learn his lesson.

Very sad for all involved.

Maybe Costas will call for the reinstatement of the 18th amendment.

Jerry Jones has crew of not so straight characters.

Why do they underachieve so much?

Just very sad. This happens all the time to "civilians," but we hear about it when those involved are pro athletes. I recall a similar case many years back, when another young pro football player realized he was responsible (driving and drinking) for the death of his good friend and passenger. He pulled a gun from his vehicle trunk and shot himself at the scene. Surely Brent wishes he were dead instead of his friend.

Hey I have an idea. Let´s have driver education and classes about drinking and driving in our schools starting at Head Start. That´ll work.

Another unnecessary early death.

Haven´t we seen about enough of this "culture"? Are we disgusted yet?

The article didn´t say, but I´m sure they weren´t wearing seatbelts.

It´s really a shame that they take young men from the ghetto to the big league without any instructions on how to manage money or their lives.

Kinda like the occupants of the wh.

Several yrs. ago, a local university student was killed by a drunk driver who had several previous drunk driving convictions. He was found guilty of murder by a jury and was sentenced to prison for life without parole!!! That was a CORRECT sentence.
Ted in Michigan

To add to this tragedy we have several states that have legalized marijuana. We can now expect to have more people driving while stoned and causing additional mayhem on our highways.

Will Costas take to the ´airwaves´ on the next halftime and demand the end of automobiles and booze???...makes as much sense as his last rant.

#14 that was Jeff Alm of the Oilers. There were some pretty strange rumors that followed that, as well.

Bob Costas sez 3 out of 4 NFL players own cars...

So sad--more Blue State behavior by another NFL player has cost someone else their life.

No great loss

He will still vote democratic for the next 24 presidential elections

I´m really not being racist but I wonder why it is the black players who do these stupid things.

For me, football is an escape from day to day worries, except now it is not with the weekly man made funerals, pink month, NO scandals, contusions scare, and Bob Costas. Will we have to listen to another 30 minutes of what´s wrong with America lecture this week, or could we have them ask what is wrong with them?
