This is worse than public intox...

He needs to be suspended for at least 2 (and I think three depending on the BAC). The problem with Kirk giving Rieff a one game suspension is that if you also give Wirfs a one game suspension you're sending the signal that getting into a cop car while you're drunk should be punished the same as an OWI, and that's a terrible message to send.
Assume he was. So you're saying there's no difference between someone being pulled over and complying with the cops while they do their job and someone who bolts and has to be chased down?
But how did the cops know when they went to pull him over that he wasn’t going to run? How did they know he didn’t have a weapon? How did they know his BAC wasn’t going to be .08 or higher? How did they know he didn’t have a dead body in his trunk? I know none of those things ACTUALLY happened, but I think he should still be suspended for the season because it’s possible they could have.
Cool, so since we’re done with both of us making up hypothetical situations that didn’t happen, what were the crimes actually charged?
Don't you all get tired of having this same ******* argument after every offseason arrest?
This is unique. Reiff gets a public intox and Ferentz punished him more than someone who got an OWI. Bad look
Honestly, I rarely pay attention to the off season. I only originally read this because I thought it was going to be about Reiff, because I thought it was total bull **** that he got in any kind of trouble.
I've lost a couple buddies to drunk drivers, it's no joke to me. I also have a friend who's a cop in a ****** area outside Denver and I know how serious he takes it when someone runs and he has no clue what he's running into. It's a big deal. Reducing both to message board fodder is pretty dumb and I'll throw myself under the bus for doing it here.
