What The F Were You Thinking? NFL Player Stupidity...A Running Thread

[Pokerbrat2000]

I don't know how many times I run across an article about an NFL player doing something stupid, usually off the field. These guys are making millions of $$, supposedly are "role models for kids" and some are locked into huge guarantees. Then, they go out and do something stupid.

Instead of trying to plug each new occurrence into a new thread or an existing thread, I figured I would give these boneheads their very own thread.

I will lead it off with Rams WR Demarcus Robinson. After the Rams loss on Sunday, Robinson was pulled over for going over 100 mph and he was discovered to be driving under the influence as well.

Same thing Henry Ruggs was (and endless list of drunk drivers). He wasn't.

Thus the thread.

I doubt we run out of new material to talk about.

At 5 A.M. no less. Even when I was this guy's age, no way on God's green earth was I even thinking about driving hammered, let alone being hammered ... and I was managing a bar in a college town. (Incidentally, I'm 66 now and firmly believe that my liver is finally un-wrinkling from that little 5-year stint.)

Agree. I just don't get so many things with guys like this.

First, Robinson has a career earnings of $14,463,998. His salary this season is $4M. Can't he pay for a driver or at least an Uber, if he wants to go out drinking until 5 in the morning?

Second, the Rams lost, so it wasn't like he was out celebrating a big win, didn't he have to go to "work" the next day?

Lastly, and not that important to me, given his obvious careless attitude for others. He's a free agent after this season, how will something like this effect his future employment and salary?

I have to guess this goes on more than we know. Young men with wads of cash and mixed up priorities. Going out drinking and looking for tail takes priority over everything else.

Of course these shallow/hallow statements after by Robinson fixes everything.

"I don't want to bring that type of light or any type of negative energy towards the team," Robinson said. "I just told him I sincerely apologize to him and the team and this whole organization for even putting myself and the organization in a predicament like that."

He added: "It's nothing anybody want to go through, I'm sure, but it's all a life lesson that we all can learn from. And I definitely will take ... accountability. And I've already learned from it. I've already gone through a lot of stuff to try to overcome it. So honestly, I just don't want anybody else in our organization or the guys in our rooms to go through anything like this."
