Oh shit! He is their A Team analyst. Is there more too this than the drunk driving charge?

Shouldn't drunk driving be enough? His contract is something ridiculous like $18M/yr, he can afford an Uber.

Unless there is a complicating factor it is unlikely that a DUI would be enough. Maybe an embarrassing vid to come, maybe cbs just drops all this quietly before the season starts

It is certainly enough to justify a leave of absence right now, during training camp, when nobody is paying attention to him anyway. He's not fired yet, with a contrite enough apology he could save his job.

Fuck No..

We should not destroy people because they make a mistake.

Drink driving is a choice you make, and a choice that kills a shit load of people every year.

Zero sympathy for drunk drivers, you are not the only person on the road, do better.

Losing your cushy television job (which hasn't even happened yet) is not quite "destroying". I don't think his kids are in any danger of going hungry....
