    Now he should know better and our laws should be stricter. Mandatory jail time for DUI'S. You could kill or maime someone. Sick of hearing about these fools and they are let go. confiscate their cars and sell them...give them fines and jail time. No exceptions.

    I agree with wayne M. There simply is no excuse, for someone of a Professional Athelete's means, to get a D.U.I. It's not like he couldn't afford a cab! Hell, it's not like he couldn't afford to hire Private Drivers 24/7!! I just don't get it.
