H2o Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article212475989.html No word on whether he was hurt yet, but he plowed a 76 year old man's vehicle and destroyed a railroad motor car. Scary stuff for all parties involved. Irresponsible drinking and driving do not mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I have to believe if Herndon was hospitalized, it would have been mentioned in the article. It did state he was arrested. I'm guessing he had no more than minor injuries. I'm also guessing he's in line to receive a suspension to start his NFL career, assuming he manages to avoid jail time.

If I owned an NFL team, every rookie would have Uber, Lyft, the local taxi all installed on their phones. 1 hour ago, TigerJ said: I have to believe if Herndon was hospitalized, it would have been mentioned in the article.

NFL eventually needs to send a message on this type of behavior. 1/2 the season at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ego. The players know they have options. It's just the typical "What? You think I'm a f'ing lightweight? I can drive!" *crash* Hell with taxi cards, if I'm an owner I'd install breathalizers in the ignition of every players' car. >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stallworth was intoxicated beyond the legal limit, yes, but it's not like he ran onto a sidewalk and mowed the guy down. He probably wouldn't have been able to stop completely sober. He also was required to pay a settlement to the victim's family, sold the home he had bought for his mother to do so, and expressed genuine remorse over the situation. He has to live with it every day of his life. We're all dirty in one way or another, just not the same as some others. It doesn't make you or I any better.

My son (15) begged me to stop. I commute 55 miles (one way) to work every day. Seeing the number of drivers who are texting scared me (as a bike rider). It became a lot less fun and a lot more scary. Once the scales tipped to the scary side, I made up my mind and sold my bike. Sad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk driving is far more lethal. 3 times more people killed by drunk drivers than texters. 25% of motorcycle deaths involved riders who were legally intoxicated at the time. 16% weren't wearing helmets. Should have kept your bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
