All I want to know is, does he like girls and are those girls real?

Simple DUI is the dumbest charge you can get. Maybe not the worst morally, but you look very irresponsible.

The tape obviously shows that Ogletree can play. The main question is will he be devoted to being a great player and stay out of trouble and that’s why it is no surprise that teams are grilling him on the DUI.

What is striking to me is that half the teams didn’t bring it up.

I used to do security clearance background investigations for the US military and one of the worst things a person could do was lie to me about something I already knew. Even worse if they continued to lie after I showed them my proof. Hope this young man can pull his head out of you know where and put it back on his shoulders.

Perhaps he misses the idea that it is not WHAT he said but HOW he said it. They will grade him accordingly if he appeared sincere or not. Of course he is going to be asked and I’d guess the half who did are the only ones who are serious about him.

Interviews asside… how in the HELL can you be stupid enough to get a DUI. And you might as well just end it if you’re enough of a dolt to get a DUI in the weeks leading up to you being selected to make millions of dollars in your career.

Of course the fact that murder, DUI, drugs, etc never really take you out of the running to play in the NFL (but being a diva WR apparently does), it doesn’t suprise me that these guys keep doing this stuff.

Could imagine the public outcry that would take place if a report was published of the number of NFL employees that have been arrested for DUI but they changed the employer to a company like Verizon. At some point should we hold the employer accountable when a large number of it’s employees are consistently breaking the law? I’m generally for blaming the person first, but if a company consistently has a culture of disregard for the law, shouldn’t we hold them accountable in some way?

I read somewhere that he lied in some of his interviews. A team would ask him questions they already knew the answer to, and he just blatantly lied.
