    Jeff Darlington says he's seen Ronnie taking a limo in South Beach to avoid this stuff.

    Nobody's perfect. We don't know much of what happened yet, but he's a good guy. And even good guys screw up sometimes.

    I agree. It was dumb and a mistake on Ronnie's part, but to me it's not a concern because this isn't a constant thing with him. Everyone makes mistakes and he made one. If Ronnie had previous issues off the field with the law or whatever else I'd be upset, but he hasn't. He's a good dude. Not a big issue at all.

    His got knocked down though. Ronnie's probably will too regardless of what happened.

    Exactly, this has been one hellish offseason, from Porter blowing up to McDaniel being arrested to Will Allen getting hooked to Ricky Williams signing with Rosenhaus and now Ronnie B of all people.

    The thing to remember here is that he was booked on suspicion of DUI.

    Either he refused to blow, or he passed when he did. They still haul you in if you pass, as they can accuse you of being on something else.

    The only thing out there right now is the officer says he didn't do well with the field sobriety tests.

    I will never understand professional athletes making millions of dollars that go out drinking and don't call a cab, pay for someone in their entourage to stay sober and be the DD or just hire a limo for the night when they are hitting up the town.

    Talk about a overreaction.

    We picked up some questionable players I doubt this affects anything.

    All I'm saying is first it was Randy Starks who viciously hit that officer with his car. Then Vontae Davis who was arrested in another State while simultaneously at Dolphins camp. Now Ronnie Brown has done this unforgivable act. I say cut all three of them. They have no use on this team. Since we signed Incognito we can hopefully put Thomas at RB now and let Nate Garner play DT.

    Just don't drive out of bounds, throw Ronnie out in traffic or all around refuse to pick him up. I know how you Ohio people are.

    Honestly, we don't even know if he screwed up at all to be quite honest until more information comes out.

    Like some said already, the DUI laws legally drunk levels are crap.
    You can literally have a couple beers, not feel even a buzz and be deemed legally drunk. That paired with this stemming from changing lanes without a turn signal and you have the makings for a very possible BS situation.

    As you mentioned as well, R. Brown has already proven himself "good people" during his time here. He gets the biggest "benefit of the doubt pass" I'd give to any player on our team right now.

    I have not even sipped a drink in over 20 yrs and to me this is no big deal. Florida laws are very strict and the dude messed up. If he's been there before, I can see people reacting negatively but EVERYONE has f'ed up before and that's a fact.

    What he does now is most important...

    No, b/c we don't know what the B.A. was. A completely sober person can fail a field sobriety test. I've seen it happen. They are incredibly subjective tests. In this case we have a person we know to be recovering from a foot injury. We don't even know whether or not RB had a drink. RB may have been falling down drunk or he may have been completely sober, but based on the information we have, it's impossible to say.

    I deal in facts. This has nothing to do with loyalty. This is RB's first offense so he probably won't face a suspension or any other penalty that will affect the team.

    I've seen independent studies of on the accuracy of FSTs and the numbers range about 50%. I've seen estimates by cops and the Highway dept. claim 90+%, but I trust the independent studies more. So if RB was arrested on nothing more than a FST then it's a coin flip whether he drank or not.

    all due respect but your studies have no consideration in reality
    Ronnie Brown was arrested
    if that doesnt shock everyone and present a problem well you may not get it
    size it up how you want but it happened bro
    he will face it
    BTW having to face the field test with a bad foot is a bad garbage argument
    he was pulled over
    spent the night in jail
    denial sucks yikes

    The insanity workout review and p90x evaluation might be compared in the web. There are various internet sites which offer useful data about both these physical exercise varieties. Both of them involve strenuous exercises of the body. Although the insanity review workouts primarily focus on the leg
