Winter is DUI Season

Woods beats Henry 3 and 2 at match play
Peyton redoes deal, saves Colts cap room
Illinois G Smith surrenders to police
Pacers Tinsley, Daniels charged in fight
Dolphins sign Holliday for $20M, 4 years
DUI hearing for Colts’ Rhodes postponed
Cincy’s Thurman pleads no contest to DUI
Chief Illiniwek to perform for last time

Yahoo sports is listing 8 top stories this evening…amazingly half of them are drunken athletes out of control. Three athlete DUIs (counting Illinois G Smith, who was in fact detained over a horrible DUI wreck which left his teammate with a critical head injury). Four liquor-soaked ballers in all counting Pacers Tinsley who was charged with felony intimidation for his bar fight. And Cincy's Thurman has to do 90 days in the slammer for his repeat violation. Sadly, the days of alcohol fueled craziness and athletes are in full swing. Why? Perhaps the $20M in 4 year contract above sheds some light on the sense of entitlement some ballplayers have.

Compare the drunken free-for-all above with the maturity and sacrifice of Peyton restructuring his contract to keep the Colts on top, and the continued slaughter at the hands of the unstoppable Tiger Woods, Inc., and you either have a profound contrast or a world waiting for March Madness and baseball.

Meanwhile Chief Illegalwek has been banned, but is rumored that he will take to the streets of Champaign, IL for bootleg pep dances.
