For Pete's sake relax.  

1)  He got pulled over for dwi while at age 22.  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.

I sure hope I never get pulled over and get asked to do the sobriety test. I would fail that sober. 
 

 

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.

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.

 

Moreover I'd like to see an end to the choir boy myth.

The process has gotten the Bills to 2 playoffs in 3 seasons.

I think the thing I'm most amazed at is how many people on this board apparently have never made any mistakes in their life especially when they were in their early 20s

You’re correct. 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

Perhaps Sheldon Cooper should be asking this, but is it appropriate for the Marvel Universe to be posting next to the DC Universe?

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.

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.

mistake for me means = as in lapse of judgement

Why have coaches at all then? Any good leader, coach, CEO, instills a certain mindset and culture in the environment which they're in charge of.

I think you have mistake confused with accident/accidental occurence. He made a mistake in judgement. It is what it is.

There's an argument to be made that using cell phones are just as dangerous. We all make mistakes man. Hes 22. No one got hurt. Learn from it and move on.

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.

I believe a first time DWI offense carries with it a mandatory two game suspension per NFL policy.

Except they didn't for 17 years.

Player gets DWI, no other news or updates about it have come out since...28 page thread.

I love this forum and I love Bills fans.

I would be willing to bet that Bills fans are the most active on message boards of any fans in the league. I mean...that and a nickel will get you a peppermint, but still.

A nickel a peppermint? What is this 1982?

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.

At least he didn't resist the arrest.

 

AND he was wearing his Bills t-shirt proudly!!!

 

And it looks like he was relatively sober during that field test.   Silver lining people!!

Sry guys don't have time to check whole thread and I didn't find answer anywhere - do we already know if the gun was illegal? Or is it clear what he violated in relation to gun?

 

Thanks

He had the gun while committing another crime.  That's what he violated as far as the weapon charge is concerned
