It's really sad that he keeps making the same (or similar) mistakes over and over again. I don't know if he's ever entered rehab, but I think it would be more productive than prison time.

In before the CTE defense (which the way he played could be legit).
That's a lot of time for not killing anyone. But DD is bad and he certainly could have. Sounds like he needs more help then prison tho.

I'm not a CTE denier, but Maualuga has always had a drinking problem. Going back to USC. I doubt this is CTE related. He just needs AA.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Multiple convictions will eventually turn a simple DUI into a felony. Based on the allegations listed in this story he probably has felony vandalism or reckless endangerment charges. None of those probably carry anything closer to 10 years but newsstories often stack all of the possible time to make it sound as serious as possible.
But if you ever injure someone while driving under the influence you will do significant jail time.

That's a damn shame. I wore a jersey of his for some time and admired his play. Echoing others, I hope he gets the help he needs to be healthy and become a productive member of society.

He gave me a football after the Bengals beat the steelers in 2009 in his 2nd home game as a Bengal.
But come on Rey, just call a cab friend.

It’s not funny but...... looking over his rap sheet at all the stationary objects he’s hit while drunk just shows he still can’t hit a moving target for shit. Get help man.
