veteran NFL quarterback was reportedly arrested on suspicion of DUI following his team’s Week 18 game early Monday morning.
According to the Seattle Times, Seahawks backup quarterback Geno Smith was reportedly arrested early Monday morning.
Smith was reportedly arrested and then released, per the Seattle Times:
Geno Smith, the Seahawks’ backup quarterback the past three years, was arrested Monday on suspicion of driving under the influence and then released, according to King County District Court records.
Smith was arrested at 2:10 a.m. and released at 9:27 a.m., documents show.
No other details were immediately available.
Smith, 31, has been with the Seahawks since 2019. He is set to be a free agent this offseason after signing a one-year deal in Seattle this past season.
The veteran NFL quarterback started three games for the Seahawks this past season when Russell Wilson went down with an injury.
Smith very much enjoyed his time in Seattle and tweeted a message for the fans late on Sunday.
The Seahawks beat the Cardinals, 38-30, on Sunday afternoon.
Seattle finished the year at 7-10 on the season.

At least in this case no poor young lady was burned alive in the process of stopping him.

We haven't watched the NFL in years. Looks like we won't be tuning in again any time soon.
One of the Raiders players got a DUI not long after that happened.
I believe he played Sunday.
A taxi or an uber would cost little in comparison to the amount of trouble they are in.
That’s actually a BS charge when the guy was trying to sleep it off.
Have heard one should place the keys in an inaccessible spot outside car to avoid this.
Or he could try not using alcohol before getting behind the wheel.
I’ve done it for decades.
It’s not a hardship.
Exactly

Volunteer to be the designated driver. 😄
“Or he could try not using alcohol before getting behind the wheel.”
Especially when they’re paid $1M a year (or more). Perhaps consider a taxi?

IIRC, the NFL discontinued the program a while back. In order to save money...? And I’ll bet cutting liability risk had something to do with that decision, too...
The NFL has a 24 hour car service available to all players.
The NFL could also try hiring players with brains, good character, guys who love the game and not just the paycheck.
Sigh.

True.
Or tru dat!
Or... the young people in my life tell me there is this super cool new service called... duper.. no, that’s not it. Luiber... no, that’s not it either. Hm.... oh, yeah, Uber. You can drink and use your cell phone to get someone else to drive you home for a fee. :)
