Alan Branch arrested
In case you didn't hear, former PSU QB killing machine Alan Branch was arrested at 2 AM Saturday morning for DUI. He blew a .14 on the breathalyzer. He was held out of the Bills game today because of it. Moral of the story: don't drink & drive.

Wealth doesn't stop people from making boneheaded mistakes. In fact it's usually the opposite as some wealthy people think that because they are financially wealthy that some laws do not apply to them.

and George Clooney.
August 25th, 2014 at 8:51 AM ^
Because Clooney sure wasn't Batman. Amirite?

Players have said (and I believe there is actual evidence of this, but I could be wrong) that they don't like taking it because the car service reports back to the owners who uses it. Then players' partying gets used as leverage against them in negotiations.

Holy shit... For a hot-second I thought that read "Austin Hatch arrested" ... Wow, it's too early in the morning/dyslexia...

granted it was preason, and he is not even under age like Kings. Shouldn't they have just held him out of practice next week.

Over at the Bills' home on SBNation - Buffalo Rumblings - they provided the following opinion at the end after disscussing Branch's non-attendance for the offseason program and his failing of the team's conditioning test:
"Given this latest development, and Branch's status as a veteran, it would not be surprising at all if he were part of the team's first round of cuts this coming Tuesday."
I know Branch was rather upbeat when he first signed this extension, but he's apparently been buried somewhere in the third-team defense, according to Buffalo Rumblings. I know he didn't come in until late in the 4th in their preseason game against the Steelers, so tht could very well be true.
The Buffalo News has what little Doug Marrone was willing to provide in terms of comments here as well - LINK

He was cut today. (Sunday, that is.)

so he hit Rod while he was still in the area.

or attend the offseason program, his days in the NFL are probably over. Nobody's going to want an old DL who can't keep his shit together.

I'll never understand why people do this. Newsflash, Don't drink and drive! Like how complicated a concept is that? Moron.

between alcohol consumption and decision making skill.

Only one purpose of for drinking alcohol in a land of 1,000 different drink selections... to get drunk.
I will probably get downvoted a gazillon but so be it. Refusing to drink keeps you out of trouble with the law; keeps your from damaging your health over the long term; you will carry less excess weight; and you never have to worry about poor judgment calls due to intoxication.
I do hope Alan Branch gets a second change although it will be costly. I loved watching him play especially in 2006.

how pro athletes with so many people around them to keep them out of trouble, with so much money to take a damn cab still end up drinking and driving.

He was intoxicated and made a bad decision. Unfortunately, I wasn't there to physically restrain him.
August 24th, 2014 at 6:33 PM ^
I'm just pissed he got arrested before I could get all high and mighty on my sparty friends. I had yet to talk trash about Mr. Le'veon "DUI for being high" Bell, now Branch goes out and gets into trouble. Alas, I'll have to resort to the good ole stand-by's.
