Yep driving drunk is stupid and shows disregard for others.   I get it some people do it while lacking judgment.  Still very stupid.  But to drive 156 MPH on a city street, intoxicated or not, that just shows a total lack of caring for others.   If found guilty he should be also banned from the NFL.

The thing about this reminds me of when I was stationed in Germany many years ago.  We were given cards called "Ride For Life."   If we were off base and got drunk at a pub or club we could use it to pay for a taxi back at no cost and no questions asked.  If we used it and asked for another one, again no questions asked.   The purpose was to make sure we got back to the base safe without driving drunk.

I think the NFL could benefit from a similar sort of program if they don't already.   NFL player makes a call, "Hey I'm a bit drunk can you help me get home?"   Team, "No problem we are sending you a taxi (or Uber) to get you home safe. Thank you for being responsible."
