Not that I'm excusing his actions, but professional athletes have done much worse-- Donte Stallworth for example, who CD mentioned earlier. While drunk driving never leads to anything positive, there's no reason to call for his head or get him booted from the team. It was boneheaded decision by a bona fide bonehead, but justice (to the extent that professional athletes get) will be served.
I'm not saying that since this is his first incident with the Clipps that he should be booted...
What I'm trying to say is that this isn't the first, second, nor third time he's been caught doing something illegal. If he's not ready to change by now, why would we want him.
I know it may be hard to trade him, but at least put him out on the market...
I agree with JJ but I see your point. If we look at the full scope of events, I think Zach has deeper issues, esp. how he might be dealing with the deaths in his family. This is 3 consecutive seasons that a family member has passed.
Also, I wonder what the "facts" are in the case. Was he clowning with friends by driving reckless and switching lanes, which we have all done in our 20s? What was the speed? BAC? Lots of things to unearth.
