I sincerely hope that, after a few beers, you run your car directly into a tree. And when they find you, you have a cigarette hanging off your lips, a cheeseburger in your left hand, and a needle coming out of your neck. Oh yeah, I also hope one of your close family members gets hit by a drunk driver on the way to see you at the hospital.
Run along now and go watch some more Glenn Beck you uneducated, uninformed a**hole.
(Please post this Florio)

I know I wouldn’t wish this disease on my worst enemy.

Just don’t suspend him, Commish. You’re only supposed to do that for high-profile QBs who’ve never even been charged with any kind of crime.
yeahhh because Vick and Roethlisberger are innocent.. moron…

No way he can deny he has a problem, when it just cost him a whole season…perhaps the rest of his career. Hopefully one day he can look back on this as the best thing to ever happen to him.
Most people with substance abuse problems don’t get such a public wake up call like this guy has.

Colt in the ditch
Colt in the ditch
Lookin’ like a fool
’cause your Peyton’s little bitch
Hat to the side
hoof mark on your ass
Take another toke
Relive your postseason choke
Colt in the ditch
Colt in the ditch
Polian’s a tool
and a whiny little bitch

The classification of it as such is one more brick in the wall of blaming your own 100% freely made CHOICES on other factors. I believe it was done (classifying it as a disease) so people’s insurance would cover it. No one makes you put a glass of alcohol to your lips, or eat five billion cheeseburgers or smoke cigs or do drugs. IT IS A CHOICE. The most you can call it is a genetically predisposed HABIT. One you need never give in to.

Those who joke about and belittle the victims of this disease deserve to have it affect a loved one for a few years…tune would change. This is a horrific condition that directly and indirectly serves as a catalyst for about 70% of ER visits, countless deaths, higher insurance, etc.
I recommend anything that gets him sober. If he is like most of us he has done as Chapter 4 tells us and has tried every trick in the book. Now it is time to surrender to the disease and look for a new approach.
I hope he keeps his mouth shut and his ears open in treatment, and, that the counselors are as adept at detecting BS as we BS artists are at dishing it out. Oh yeah, I got sober 8 Jan, 1990 at a 12-Step meeting.

The No Fun League wants to ban someone just for getting their ditch on?

It seems like most NFL teams would deal with this by immediately cutting him, or else just telling him to get his stuff in gear and then cut him later after designating him as a player with issues. Kudos to Bill Polian for recognizing he had someone in his organization with problems larger than football and doing what he can to help the person rather than just ditching him.

Or wear larger Drink like a Champion shirts.

I am shocked by the nasty tone from some of the posters here. This man is ill and needs help. Many of us have people in our own families who suffer from alcoholism and it is no laughing matter. Some of you Jim Rome wannabes are just plain stupid.

Rumor has it that he soiled himself too. Sounds like a cool guy to me, i’d put a few back with him.

Fili Moala will get into the rotation more this year with Muir, Johnson, and Foster. Indy isn’t too bad at tackle, actually.

Booze – John Gill
Indianapolis defensive tackles: Sort Yourselves Out.
