#3 0.113 is consistent with 2-3 drinks, and would not have been considered excessive or illegal when I was younger. And nobody drives less than nearly 84 mph on the state highway in front of my house. Doesn't make this any less tragic.

#7 Trying to think where in Jackson County one could get a vehicle going 84 with anything short of an F1 or an 8Ball.

Alcohol is the cover of a much more sinister drug and cultural problem.

And about trying to cover it up; this is the first I've heard of this here in "Chief's Nation", two months out of the incident which, apparently, happened around Stuper Bowl time.

#8 More teams more athletes more gangsta culture less organization power. Coaches used to be able to end an athlete's career for minor infractions...
