Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Lofa Tatupu Allegedly Arrested For DUI

I can't find many details on this yet.  There's no confirmation so it's just a rumor at this point, but apparently Lofa was arrested on a DUI .

He apparently blew a .15.

This would be a pretty terrible situation.  Goodell is getting rough on players who are violating rules.  Especially rules that have a system in place where they should never happen.  Teams have drivers available to all the players.  Maybe it's just something I will never understand.

Anyone else have anymore details about the arrest?

First Rocky, now Lofa.

Two of my favorite defensive players are fucking assholes.

woah

there’s a pretty huge difference between rocky’s and lofa’s charges, if lofa is even being charged. i’m not saying i’m happy with a dui from one of my favorite players, but that’s a LONG way from domestic violence.

I didn't say they were the same level of asshole-ishness.

But Lofa is still a fucking asshole for driving drunk.

Yeah, no excuse.

Our culture is permissive about driving drunk, but it’s an abhorrent offense. 18,000 dead in 2006.

Still, I don’t think athletes owe us anything in their personal lives. I don’t pretend to know these guys. When Tatupu straps on the Blue, I’ll root for his play and him as a player.

probably won't be a big deal

wasn’t Sexson arrested a few years ago for a DUI and nothing happened.

FREE JEREMY REED!!

I don't know

are the Seahawks in a mini-turmoil? Bernard arrested, Engram holding out, now Tatupu.

See ya Shaun.

Not moreso than other teams.

A lot of teams are having these exact same problems.

Leonard Little killed a woman

by drunk driving, and then got busted 6 years later for drunk driving again. I think he got a 4 game suspension, I don’t remember. I doubt there will be much discipline from the NFL on this.

People make mistakes, and this was a big one, but I’m confident that we won’t see his name in police reports again.

Different commissioner though

But Jeremy Stevens only got one game last year.

Coach Owens has no bones

Wasnt stevens also caught with weed

in addition to his dui though?

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Seahawks Insider has a bunch of stuff on the DUI

Looks like the league only suspends if its a second offense. Forget about that though… Lofa Tatupu drives a Hyundai Accent??!? That’s so awesome.
