Suh- what is appropriate?

[HuskerNMO]

It's also illegal to drive 1 mile over the posted speed limit, that doesn't mean you will always be charged for it.

Not getting charged with a DUI means they don't have enough to prosecute, it doesn't mean that he didn't break the law.

If everyone was charged every time they broke a law, the legal system would crumble.

Really? You can't be serious.

Lets see, how much evidence is required to cite someone for a DUI/DWA?

I know, let's measure their BAC by administering a breathalyzer test or a blood sample!!!11

You're reaching with your BS loopholes and interpretations.

He was given a breathalyzer test, and it was .035, which is .045 under the legal limit. It has been established by the state that .08 is the limit where motor skills are impaired to an appreciable degree. Therefore, you are not breaking the law.

If the officer gave a field test and he didn't notice any motor impairment, then you are not breaking the law.

I'd advise you to stop while you're ahead, instead of stooping to semantics to try to prove you're right.

Or what tough guy? :box There's a PM link for me if you have anything else to say, otherwise we've thread jacked this enough.

Sorry to the mods and everyone else who had to read our arguments. I'll try to keep it in PM's from now on.

hmmm....let me check........yep! I have no room to judge him.

From someone who has received a dui. At least in ks and I asume in ne as well I can tell you the field bal is simple an estimate and is not admissable in court. If the pollice feel you are impared they still take you and performb a more accurate test at the station or court house so the officer clearly did not think suh was impared no punnishment is needed.

The only way this should be an issue is if Suh was a school bus driver and driving said school bus when the accident happened.

He should be put on team probation IMO, and he should practice without his blackshirt for the rest of the year.

For swerving to miss a dog? Are you kidding me? Please tell me WHY in gods name he would go on probation?

This is the most irrational comment I have heard in a while... and saying that on THIS board, is pretty impressive.

Not legal probation, just with the team, like a warning system. Just let him know he was lucky to get away with this, but that this kind of behavior is not acceptable for a team leader, or any team member.

THIS IS THE DUMBEST THING IVE EVER READ. THATS ALL.

:yeah When did we start punishing players for getting into car accidents?

When they are driving at 2:30 in the morning after having been out drinking? Is that really the message you want to send the team? Suh may not have got a DUI, but he obviously had been drinking. To go completely unpunished would be a mistake IMO.

"Been out drinking"? With a .035? You could probably have a beer with dinner and blow that... been out drinking. Yeesh.

What exactly are they not tolerating? Alcohol at all or breaking alcohol-related laws? Expecting them not to drink is stupid and unrealistic, but having no tolerance for a player who gets a DUI/DWI or an MIP is something else entirely. I'd like to know what this policy is... "ZERO TOLERANCE" doesn't really mean much.

Really? A .035 and we're still talking about this? REALLY?

I think this post adequately sums up this thread.

This should clear things up for everybody.

Suh cited for hitting parked carsBy ZACH PLUHACEK / Lincoln Journal Star

Lincoln police cited Nebraska football player Ndamukong Suh on suspicion of negligent driving early Sunday.

Suh told police he swerved to avoid hitting a cat or dog in the road, according to a police accident report. His 2003 Land Rover struck three vehicles parked along U Street between 30th and 31st streets at about 2:20 a.m.

“I’m aware of the accident and I’ve talked to Ndamukong about it,” Nebraska Coach Bo Pelini said in a statement.

The situation will not affect Suh’s playing status, an NU spokesperson said. Suh is a senior defensive tackle and is projected by many as the top pick overall in next April’s NFL draft.

He did not report any injuries.

The officer who reported the crash suspected alcohol was a factor at first, but Lincoln Police Capt. David Beggs said Sunday that Suh, 22, tested well below the legal limit for drunken driving.

According to the report, the preliminary Breathalyzer measured Suh’s blood-alcohol content at 0.035 percent. The legal limit for drivers in Nebraska is 0.08 percent.

Police estimate the damage to his SUV, owned by his mother, at $10,000. It was towed from the intersection.

The crash totaled one of the parked cars and caused about $8,000 damage to each of the other two.

Going by my understanding of the English language, it means that he will not be punished as far as playing time goes. Which again, by my understanding, means he probably won't be punished at all. How else can they punish him? It's not like they can dock pay.

This is the key....what is the policy. Zero meaning no alcohol means discipline is needed and i trust Bo will do that.

I know for a FACT that he was at the Draft House in Omaha taking shots.

At what time? Because the accident was probably hours later . . .

I think you are misunderstanding the "zero tolerance" thing. The way I read it isn't that the players aren't allowed to drink . . . it just means that they will be punished if they break alcohol laws (underage drinking, DUI, etc.). Suh did not break any alcohol laws. Therefore, he will not be punished. Seems simple to me.
