I guess it may be time to start the Arrest Blotter this season.
Two members of the Denver Broncos front office both have busted for DUIs in the last month or so.
(Soon to be Former) Director of Pro Personnel Tom Heckert and (Soon To Be Former) Director of Player Personnel Matt Russell have both been busted for DUI in the last month.
Given these comments by Bronco president Joe Ellis, they're both gone from the team:
"We're not perfect. We've made our errors. We admit," Ellis told The
Associated Press. "You can say we apologized for it -- but I think an
apology rings hollow when you run into the back of a police car or
you're blowing a blood-alcohol limit that's three times the legal limit.
I don't think fans, I don't think the public, I don't think anybody
wants to hear an apology."
"So, I think you have to acknowledge your mistakes and you have to
fix them and you have to do that the right way," Ellis said. "There's a
lot of things we do. We offer programs, we offer a lot of help, there's
a ton of stuff the National Football League makes available to all the
teams in an effort for them to avoid this kind of thing. In this case,
we had two guys that couldn't do it. And that's just sad. That's too
bad. But we're going to move on, and our hope is that you won't see this
kind of incident from an employee again."
If the NFL is so image-conscious, one has to ask the real question as to who really wants to represent the NFL as it's champion this year.
With all the steroid and Pete Carroll shit from the Seahawks, and now we've got another New England Patriot in trouble with the law: Alfonzo Dennard, ANOTHER DUI!
And simply the arrest is a violation of his probation from three months ago!
WHAT
THE
HELL!!!
Goodell has to go, there has to be a policy to get real human beings in this league rather than Neanderthal thugs (and that includes the stands as well as the field!), and franchises need to be sanctioned in the win-loss column for this shit.
