I don’t think there was an indication Laura Bush was drunk?

I'll give you it's much worse if it's a repeat offender. [I had a friend who died, with two family members, at the hands of a serial drunk drive. He got out recently, but he maxed out at 20-some years]

I doubt Ruggs has a DUI arrest, because it would have come out as a first round draft pick. However, that doesn't mean he hasn't done it before.

Ruggs was a very good receiver for Alabama. He is wrong here, but that doesn’t mean he was a bad draft choice.

Well, that is a good thing. Sad that his life was cut short, but glad to hear others lived as a result.

LOL- the guy is now charged with murder and even if he gets off the murder rap, he’ll be suspended by the league. Character off the field is as important as talent on the field when selecting players in the draft...

Its one disaster after another with Mayock...

I agree. If he is truly guilty, the league will throw the book at him. The Raiders will probably cut him so as not to have to pay him. He got the big signing bonus which he spent part of on his ride that he just smashed to pieces and insurance is going to refuse to pay for it as he was DUI. He can expect a MASSIVE lawsuit by the family of the deceased lady who was killed. I think he can expect to go to jail for some period of time. I am not sure where he is from. Something tells me Montgomery, but don’t hold me on that. But, memory seems to tell me that, but then again I am over 70 and the old memory is not what it used to be, but NOT as bad as deadbrained little joey.

Double checked, yup, he is from Montgomery as I thought. Played for one of the high schools down that way.

Rae Carruth had his girlfriend murdered.

Both young WRs who destroyed their careers through killing someone through incredibly irresponsible behavior.
It will be interesting, if he gets out in 18 months (young, minority, rich) and signs with either another team or goes back to The Raiders. Bet he doesn't get half as nasty a reaction as Michael Vick did.

The Raiders had harsher words about Gruden’s emails than one of their players being charged with a DUI resulting in death
