What is lame is people acting like this is okay since many others are lame enough to do it in their lives. And some people are mature and smart enough to not drive drunk and therefore never have to worry about this. There have been stories posted about commoners getting multiple DWI or alcohol related trouble on other boards. They get harshed on too.
Also, some posters themselves ask for help on getting out of one and they are not lauded as a hero either. The point many people have here is that if you know you are being watched, you are a celebrity or athlete of high profile, you are pretty ******* stupid to pull **** like this since more eyes are on you at almost all times.
In this particular circumstance you are an athlete under much scrutiny, lacking performance for the money you were given in a city with a very fickle fanbase, and you have been in trouble for this and other things before. So I guess common sense or common man cannot see why somebody would not stay the hell home, stay away from any temptation or issue that would make that spotlight shine so bright on you that you may get burned by it.
If you drink and drive, you suck. It really is that simple. If you have the money to afford a limo or a sedan with a driver so that you stay out of hot water until your other transgressions and speeding tickets back home which you are on probation for go away, yet you don't...you are being stupid.
Cedric seems to have a chip on his shoulder going all the way back to his playing days here, maybe before. There is a reason he was nicknamed, "Cancer" by the team. Hopefully he will find a way to be a person, an athlete who is talked about for what he does good on the field and off. He has not shown that ability thus far.
