If the guy had any intention of changing, he wouldn't have put himself in that situation. AT THE LEAST, if he wanted to get drunk he would have either had a sober friend drive him or hire a driver. Instead, he drank and then sped around town. He's a moron, plain and simple and it's only a matter of time before his situation becomes a tragedy - and the Bears didn't want that to happen on their watch.
He didn't speed around town drunk.
He just got home from halfway across the country for the first time in how many months that day or the day before. And was on a short break from training camp and other football requirements.
And in the meantime hadn't even seen family or friends since he just got out of the housgow up in Chicago on a bunch of half trumped up charges due to having to jump right into off season activities as soon as he was released.
So this is is first day back and he went over to his brother's house. His brother's house, not some strip joint.
So in these circumstances, how much do you think he and his brother might have to talk about. Have you ever gone home in a case like that?
Do you have any question about how you could sit until the wee hours talking in a case like that?
And would you be surprised if he and his brother had a beer or two? Or drink or two? It'd be more surprising if they didn't. Unless they just don't drink, which I doubt.
So at 3:00am he decides to go home to his step mother's house. reasonable enough thing to do. And to be sitting talking to your family after a long absence half the night is probably one of the most likely things you would expect to happen on someone's first night back home after a long absence.
So he's going home. And if he had a couple drinks he no doubt was not drunk at all. Legally drunk and this .08 BAC is strictly an artifical legal designation used to prosecute and has little to do with being physically disabled. You have two beers in an hour and then one per hour for a couple more hours and you can't pass that test. And many people can drink more than that and be virtually unaffected by it.
Maybe for a guy as big as him it would take a little more beer to be at that level , but it would also probably take a little more to effect him much.
But that's beside the point.
And then he roars through town at 40 mph. Holy ****! It's a wonder people weren't killed. In a 25 mph zone.
25 mph zone? What is a 25 mph zone and why was the swat team patrolling it at 3:30 am?
But that doesn't matter either.
Because it looks to me like he was caught in an almost incredible set of coincidental, ironic and accidental circumstances and is taking a huge, huge fall for it.
But it's all his own fault and he's a moron because he knew he was on zero tolerance and he should have never exposed himself to even the slightest margin of error.
I guess the only thing he could have done was stayed where he was at his brother's house or whatever it was but that's what he should have done.
So now he's paying. But it really doesn't matter. Because he is a moron and he apparently does not understand zero tolerance and even after all his experiences how easy it is to get dragged in on any kind of situation.
So being the way he obviously is, it was just a matter of time before something would happen to end up like this.
He just needs to move on and try to land up where someone won't put him on such a tight chain to begin with and then watch his behavior a little better.
