You'll get the same jokers coming out of the woodwork that defended Vick, Johnson, Jones, etc. on the innocent-until-proven-guilty angle. But, the only reasonable explanation is he feared he'd blow > .08.
Doesn't matter, though, since DUI tests aren't required for non-injury accidents in that state. It's only a misdemeanor and it can't get worse, unless they find a body in the trunk he's pretty much clear of anything.
For 350K you can buy a 100k car and hire a driver for a few YEARS.
How do you think he got home after he fled the scene?
This case is completely different from your Vick,Jones comparisons , we have no evidence from any source as to what happened at the accident except what Briggs says. You cannot assume Brigs was DUI because of this. He has no prior history, this is an isolated incident. So many of us automatically assume with Pro athletes but if there is no track record of trouble than that player has to be given the benefit of a doubt at least once
I guess if Lovie Smith is one of those jokers you're right. He really teared into someone today who mentioned drinking and driving.
Not sure about the "benefit of the doubt." It has nothing to do with being a pro athlete. If a sports car of mine ends up wrecked at 3:00 a.m., I'll guarantee that I was drunk.
Did it maded them cry when he teared into them?
Chicago aint Florida. My guess is that one of Chicago's finest escorted the star defender home.
He might have one or two reasons to come to the defense of the guy. Any objective observer who has an IQ north of 70 would be reasonable in suspecting alcohol was involved.
While it wouldn't surprise me if alcohol was involoved, it's not a reach to suggest that a 640 HP Lamborghini might have just been too much car for Briggs.
lol @ people who think he'll face a 4 game suspension...
I don't see that happening.
Of course! To think otherwise is as crazy as, say, believing a woman would lie about being raped by 3 spoiled rich lacrosse hulligans. You're building a mighty big assumption on pure circumstance. You could very well be right. Then again maybe he was sober and he hit his head and wandered off in a daze. Or he had a girlfriend with him he needed to broom. Or he's a secret transvestite. Or a million other improbable but entirely possible explanations. You see, this is why we have trials instead of mobs- because the unlikely does happen. After all the odds of your grandparents ever meeting were infintesimal. By your logic I should assume you dont exist.I suspect he was drunkI assume he was drunkmbuehner said:

Occam's Razor is your friend.He can have his day in court and offer one of these crazy explanations. Until that time, the most likely and plausible explanation is that he was blitzed and abandoned his 350k vehicle to go sober up.Of course!

It's like Georgian Knot.
He was still in the city. He had to walk (stumble) about half a mile to the Peterson ramp and was at a major intersection. At that time of the morning, it wouldn't have taken long for a friend to get there and pick him up. Tank Johnson probably wasn't busy and would have been a straight shot down 94. Otherwise, he could have taken bus to the El, grabbed a cab, or found somewhere for a cup of coffee to get his #### together.Considering the explanation and timing of events so far (the reports are the police contacted him about the vehicle this morning, as opposed to him reporting it) the only plausible explanation seems to be he had something/someone in him/on him that he didn't want police, tow truck driver, IDOT worker, etc to find out about. Assuming that was the case, with no witnesses (yet), all in all, a smart move. Misdeamor that will draw no penalty from the Bears or NFL seems to be a better result for him than dealing with whatever made him run.gianmarco said:

Quite honestly, that was one of the best posts I have ever read in the four plus years that I have been frequenting this forum. VeryOf course!
