Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu has released the following comments regarding the events of this past weeked.

"I want to apologize to my family, teammates, the Seahawks ownership and organization, and the fans for making a poor decision and putting myself in a bad situation. I take seriously my role as a leader on this team, and in the community, and because of that I'm disappointed and embarrassed by the level of poor judgment I used last weekend. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. This will never happen again, and I hope through hard work on and off the field to begin earning your respect and trust again."

I believe this may end up having a positive effect on the entire team.  Lofa knows he is in the doghouse with the coaching staff, management, and especially the fans.  I bet he's really ashamed of himself right now.  What better way to put this behind him than to redouble his efforts and put even more focus into football.

I'm almost hoping he has to miss a game for this.  This is a serious problem, and we cannot have public figures and role models for young athletes going out and making these kind of mistakes.  I would like to see Lofa talking to children about the dangers of drinking and driving in the future.  A single game suspension would send a clear signal as to the gravity of his mistake. 

Maybe D.D. can have one start this season...
