Get out the breathalyzers in Green Bay

Right. None of these alkys have ever showed up loaded during games. Or hungover. They know how to handle their booze.

 

So Mike Ditka should have gotten fired the second he got a DUI? And we know how bad he was as a coach. : Koren Robinson shouldn't be playing in the NFL, but a DUI is not the reason.

 

The "troubled athlete" is a time bomb waiting to explode, and teams who willingly acquire them deserve what they get.

It's not the job of professional sports franchises to help troubled people get their lives together. That's their problem.

It's the job of professional sports franchises to win goddamn games, and far more often than not, the "troubled athlete" blows up at just the right time to completely destroy that.

 

Maybe if Thompson had given that potential tragedy some thought prior to that moment, he might have come to his senses and not been standing there. Because he hadn't, he should have answered, "The blood, or at least some splattering of it, will be on my hands."

Wisconsin's current Attorney General was busted for DUI. If she goes out and kills someone on the highway, "will the blood, or at least some splattering of it" then be on on the hands of all who voted for her?

 

Well I imagine the AG would still be living in Wisconsin if she wasn't the AG. I don't think Koren would be looking for a condo in Appleton or anywhere else in Wisconsin if he wasn't on the Packers.

Not that I don't think Christl is reaching with that premise of his column.

 

The sanctimony of some just drives me nuts. If KoRo pulls another stunt and someone gets killed it falls on him and him only. If the sanctimonious crowd wants to use the standard that it would fall on the Packers, then two-time drunk drivers everywhere else should also be deemed unemployable. Check every two-time drunk driver and see if they're working, then let's all write columns coming down on the companies employing them.

 

I'd be happy to, any old time. Get pinched for drunk driving once, it's a stupid mistake.

Get pinched again, and this time in addition lead cops on a 100-mph chase, it's not a stupid mistake. Your fucking ass should never drive an automobile again, and as far as where you work, the world always needs ditch diggers.

Forgiveness, mercy and understanding. I've had fuckin' enough of them.

 

So what about the ditch digger who's been pinched twice? Should he never be allowed to dig ditches again?

 

Next time Ahman Green beats up his wife, "will the blood, or at least some splattering of it" be on Ted Thompson's hands?

 

damn Packs they are going to regert the day they let Walker go.
