Could have happened to almost anyone, except maybe some judgmental choir boys So you have to be a choir boy to realize how stupid it is to drink and drive? I swear the thought process some people have on here blows my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once was pulled over after leaving a bar,I had about 6 or 7 beers (160 lbs),had to do a sobriety test on the sidewalk. I passed it.I was a little tipsy,but I didn't let the idea that I was taking the test rattle me. Hopefully,Oliver learns from this,it could have been worst.

RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Well...on the bright side...we can all finally move beyond the mythologizing of the “magic” inside “the process” of OBD. They’re all just dudes...doing their thing...living life...making good decisions and bad. whether they play for Dallas...New England or Buffalo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all made mistakes at that age, but our mistakes didn’t potentially affect the prospects of a team we all are passionate about in what could be a championship season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Process is just a made up word that a human created to give the illusion to control the uncontrollable. What got Buffalo into the playoffs is the same stuff all other 31 teams do on a daily basis. Bounces and breaks eventually come your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Why are posters calling this a "mistake"? Did he simply forget he had been drinking when he got into the truck hauling the trailer with the dune buggy and the gun? Caught, yes, mistake (as in "whoops, didn't mean to!"), no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo44 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Even if his blood alcohol level comes back too high, chances of being suspended are slim. Luckily he had no drugs in the vehicle. He’ll probably get probation from the court, and as a first time offender, nothing from the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Welp...here is what I will say. Most people here have done something stupid like this when they were a teenager or in their early twenties. Drove when they shouldn't have. You tend to have a mentality at that age that you can do anything and its no big deal. Doesn't excuse this behavior, but even though I do NOT have a DUI, there were times his age I probably drove when I shouldn't have and figured I was fine to drive. I never do it now, and probably haven't in 20 years (about to be 44 in July), but this isn't exactly a rare mistake here by youth. He is fortunate it was just a DUI and not an accident he caused...and lets hope that this lesson humbles him and makes him realize he can't do this type of stuff and makes better decisions moving forward. Watching some friends get DUI's and one get in an accident humbled me right up about it, and never done it since. And today its even less excusable with more options like Uber and Lyft. Im not gonna write the kids character off over this...young players get to make one dumb mistake, I mean they are still maturing and coming from being stars in college and getting paid in the NFL so young. Not to mention the added boredom of the quarantine. Its how he responds after this that will tell me what kind of character this kid has. And you know McD and Beane are not going to go easy on him about this kind of mistake. I feel fairly confident though that this wont be an ongoing issue and he will be fine moving forward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
