What difference does it make? Anyone reporting on the story and using the video is going to state that he is a member of the team anyways

Bills don't want that type of advertising. Trust me it's worse for the Bills that he's wearing Bills gear in the arrest video.

Looks like the process was on break when they drafted this kid.

And they can’t say there weren’t warning signs...but I think it’s more of a maturity thing...

By 23, I'd completed an enlistment, been married and divorced, and was nearly into the civilian workforce. We dote on people too much these days. 

 

They actually make it too easy to get married and divorced. Easier it is made, more often cycle will repeat.

He's hardly the first pro athlete to get a DUI.  The same questions posters are asking here (why not hire a limo, Uber, etc) are no different than when the last pro athlete got a DUI.  Oliver is no different than any of those who got a DUI before him.  I think it is just the belief that people have where it (DUI, crash, whatever) won't happen to them...until it does.

 

Yes - certainly a young & stupid mistake - many young guys (I bet- especially ones with as much money as Ed Oliver) feel invincible & have an "it can't happen to me attitude. Hope that Ed learns from this & moves forward. A criminal conviction as a young man is not good - but, it does not mean that you can't go on to be a successful man - no matter what your occupation & life circumstance are. To a certain extent we have all been there - I wish I knew what I know now back when I was 23. Heck, I wish I could just remember when I was 23!

 

On a lighter note -- at least he wasn't found naked in a field in Elma by the police -- what ever happened to Cyrus Kouandjio (spelling?) - did he continue with an NFL career?

Well, o have had my license since 78, never been cited for an open container. 
 

now I gots big problem with driving while drunk , that rightly is and should be strictly enforced. I just don’t understand why if I have 3 beers in a bar, get in a car and drive home that is somehow okay, but if I have a beer as I am driving to the Home Depot and back it is somehow illegal, and worse to some people immoral. It’s a dumb law. What matters is how much I drink, not where I drink it. 
 

 

 

It is a dumb law crafted just for you..  In future it will be called plenzmd1 dumb.

What astonishes me every time I read about the US is the cavalier way y’all treat EVERYTHING. 

 

 

Fixed this for you. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go crowd up on an open bar patio during a pandemic because, hey, we're America........?

Ah, yes, Kujo....that is what we called him because his name is too hard to spell; your spelling may be correct.  IIRC, he did land with another team, but it was short lived.  I think he was out of the league shortly there after because he was just not a good lineman.  None of it had to do with Kujo being found naked in a field.

Dapgummit, Eduardo! Can they fine him for a lack of brains and foresight?

 

Although... Some of ya go on and on about how McBeane sign only choir boys. A very uh, un-choir-boy type of thing happens and suddenly the same crowd is shouting how he's just not a process guy and they saw this coming miles away. Uh huh. 

 

Fines, counseling/classes, a stern talking-to from McDermott and Uncle Rog.

Thank God it was. She was nuts.

You don't need to be married to get chopped into bits.  You need:

 

1. A computer with a Skype account

2. A Redhead

3. A plane ticket

 

They say 2 out of 3 ain't bad but in this case it is waaaaaaay better than 3 out of 3.

No but that stemmed more from an inability to block even a particularly energetic photon.

Does it all the time. Big donation. Then add the fines for the charge itself. 
 

like I said I have had 5 soldiers plead down to wet reckless in my years stationed in Texas without any big donation. Just using the diversion program 

 

All 5 soldiers had unlawful gun violation attached to DWI?

 

That's the problem for Oliver.

I really do not like some of you fake Bills fans. Guy screwed up but it’s not like it was a character issue. He owned a legal firearm, he got caught with a open container because another motorist called the police (  Probability a Texans fan lol...). He get a suspension but it’s not the end of the world. Quinton Williams ( Jets) will miss the Bills game because of his upcoming suspension for carrying a loaded gun in a airport. (Now that’s dumb). We see how it goes. As a fan you can be disappointed in what happened but to try to talk ***** about his character off of 1 incident just shows how some fake fans really are.

He meant real controversy...

 

 

They never charge them with 2 offenses.  They'll go with the more serious one, which would be the DUI and make a plea deal.

 

 

Say what?  The unlawful gun law was specifically written to include "intoxication".

Yepp.  The kid made a stupid decision. I know I've made plenty of dumb decisions, and me thinks almost everyone on here has. 

 

Hoping he learns from this and gets his act together.

A few thoughts . . .

  • He's from Texas, everyone has a gun and feels entitled to it. Many are not registered.  People in TX have guns like office workers have staplers.
  • Video shows he was 100% compliant.
  • Had a beer with him.  OMG way too many people drink & drive, his crime was getting caught.  Don't get me wrong, my point is the vast majority of those who drink/drive with regularity NEVER get caught (and if you asked them, they'd say they cannot believe they have not been caught).
  • As bad as this is, at least he didn't exacerbate the situation with poor behavior.
  • He'll probably get 4 games for 1st offense, but looks like he'll pay a larger price if there's any clause in his contract re: behavior.
  • Looks like he was ATV'ing, who knows where, could have needed gun depending on where he was (wild game in that area could have been a hazzard).
