You don’t have to be in the NFL to get a DUI, you just have to be in the NFL to have your DUI make the news. The problem of DUI is a social one, not a NFL one.

Here here, Mushin.

Never said it wasn’t a societal problem.

DUI is becoming a focus of law enforcement all over the nation. You don't have to be in the NFL to get a DUI, you just have to be in the NFL to have your DUI make the news. The problem of DUI is a social one, not a NFL one. I'm not sure why we believe that a NFL player should think about his career when he gets in a car, but the local lawyer shouldn't. Personally I think its a good thing that these young superstars get busted and receive the smack down. Now I can tell my kids, "If they did that to Jared Allen, imagine what the cops are going to do to you if they catch you drinking and driving." This isn’t an NFL problem.

That Boomer part is hilarious. I'm actually rooting for Jared as well. We got a great deal on our end, too, so there's no reason not to. <a href="http://arrowheadaddict.com/2008/04/23/jared-allen-the-legend-of-the-space-cowboy/" rel="nofollow">I said what we had to say</a>. The Addict broke up with him. We can be mature adults at this point, can't we? Nice find, Zach. That Boomer part is hilarious. I’m actually rooting for Jared as well.

Remember, we have a guys coming off record-breaking year of carries followed by half a season of injury, an unproven second year guy who only started in college because Michael Bush got injured, and a guy who's never played a down in the NFL. Although I'm really not too concerned about RB either. I'd much rather spend money things like O-linemen and corners. I don’t know if I’d call us “set” at RB.

I mean, if you get the privelage to play in the nfl, why would you want to do anything at all that could mess up your career. Things such as drinking and driving, going to strip clubs, and even dogfighting are just assenine things to try, especially if your an nfl player. These guys are suposted to be setting a role model for kids. OFF TOPIC--Ive read on a couple of sites that we've shone interest in ex lion running back Kevin Jones. This can't possibly be true; I mean we have a definite starter, and behind him we have a third round draft pick and another young guy who showed promise last year. And the way that we barely signed any positions of need in free agency says to me that we arent going to sign a position that we're set at.

I'm a fraternity man, and I've been drinking since high school, so I'm all in favor of partying. However, alcoholism is the line. Jared Allen crossed that line, and he knows it. I really believe that is doing the best job he can to change that part of his life for the betterment of his career. Jared Allen is a guy who genuinely cares about his career.
