Really, because to me only an imbecile would willingly seek to put himself in the worst possible circumstance even when he screwed up. What are you a thousand years old? Have you NEVER done anything stupid or is it that it was just so long ago you don’t remember it/them? Try reining in the sanctimonious BS and look at the whole issue.

First and foremost regardless of what he says, .. his behavior going forward will be far more indicative of his intent with regard to his statement. Secondly, .. he’s a 23 year old kid that did something stupid. That’s what 23 year old’s do. God forbid somebody was following me around at 23, back in the 70s, with a camera reporting on every stupid thing I did. Cause, I’ll fess up and say I drove my car and motorcycle too fast and partied too much.

Nobody is in favor of or is minimizing DUI but to date he’s only harmed himself. Only he will deal with the consequences, both legally and professionally. Let him be responsible for what he’s done, .. not every horrific possibility. Save the sanctimony for those that really deserve it.

This is a Highlights magazine challenge, spot the difference.

To me, trying to get out of the conviction shows that he is sorry he was caught, not that he is sorry for driving drunk.

It wouldn’t be that hard for the MLB to set up a service similar to the NFL’s. Whether it works or not (the NFL’s hasn’t) is a separate question, but I don’t think it is asking too much of the MLB for them to set up a safe rides program.

Isn’t the MLB minimum like $450K a year? Hire a damn driver and take some responsibility for yourself.
