Now he's on the front page of PFT. Oh well, at least it's Bills news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappy Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Lucky he did this before the new agreement was signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Lucky he did this before the new agreement was signed. That's not going to be a Get Out of Suspension Free Card, according to Goodell. Nevermind that this doesn't exactly ingratiate him to the organization... and especially with the team quite suddenly having some depth at WR, there's every chance he'll be gone.

Kelly the Dog Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) I think he'll get away with it. All he did was get drunk and run his car into a Buffalo police officer (who was hospitalized) at 4 am on Chippewa, Edited July 25, 2011 by Kelly the Fair and Balanced Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Well it looks like he made it much easier for the powers that be at OBD to open up a roster spot . He was on the outer edge with Easley coming back & he pretty much just screwed him self . One day he'll look back and kick him self in the ass !!!

eball Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Did anyone freak when they saw this headline?Bills WR arrested for DWI Not that this is "good" news or anything, but how glad are we it wasn't Stevie, Lee, Roscoe, et al? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 yes and this young man may have just given up his spot on the roster, wtf was he thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Well, yea. I couldn't get the web page to load fast enough to find out who it was. BTW, that was a boneheaded thing to do just before the start of camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt in KC Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Bills WR arrested for DWI Not that this is "good" news or anything, but how glad are we it wasn't Stevie, Lee, Roscoe, et al? I had exactly the same reaction. I saw the headline, skimmed the blurb (and didn't see a name) and said "c'mon Felton Huggins!" Then I opened the link and said "even better!"

White Linen Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I didn't really have that feeling. When I read the headline and it didn't have the players name, I instantly knew they used that headline to keep interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 He belew a .08, which is the legal threshold for DUI in NYS. For historical reference, it used to be .10 until the State or should I say in NY the "Motherland" decided that lowering to .08 would be a nice way to raise money. The fact he passed the field sobriety test proves he was capable of driving. I wouldn't cut him. His "glassy eyes" are explained by the fact it was late at night and that he was probablly tired. The fact his car "smelled of alcohol" is explained by the fact he was on a street that reeks of alcohol. It's impossible to tell if it was his breath, or car. Also, drink two sips of beer and your breath smells like alsochol. Also, the fact the cops arrested him for another crime that he wasn't even a suspect will be another problem for the prosecution. He gets a good def attorney this is no big deal. Blowing a .08 1st time offense is community service, etc. Don't get me wrong, I think DUI is a serious, terrible thing, and 100% agree with Ray Rice in his twitter battle w/ Heinz Ward. But remember that not all "DUI" is the same. In my opinion, this guy was no really DUI since he blew a .08 and passed the field test. How did he clip the cop? Did the cop walk out in between cars into traffic? Was he tired and that's why he clipped him. Whatever it was, it was not due to the alcohol.

Exactly!! half the folks posting on TBD are .08 right now, lol! You can blow a .08 after one 22oz beer! I'll bet every one here drove with .08 or higher in the last year. Hubbard's crime was being black and out at 4:30am. You think the cops handcuff a white guy because there was a crime in the area? What a total crock of schitt!
