Maybe the facts of this case should be viewed a little more closely.

According to the Palm Beach Post, Chambers: http://www.palmbeachpost.com/dolphi...olphins_0717.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=46

"Subjected to six physical and oral tests, Chambers was unable to stand on one leg for more than a few seconds, twice could not recite the alphabet from J to W without missing letters and did not follow instructions when asked to count backward from a given number."

Knowing what we do about Chris the following observations can be made:

1. Chambers was unable to stand on one leg for more than a few seconds at a time. He's an NFL wide receceiver for goodness sake! It's 2:AM. He's running on instinct alone. OF COURSE he's going to try to get the 2nd foot down!

2. Twice cound not recite the alphabet from J to W without missing letters. C'mon, give Chris a BREAK. He's learning a new offense. Who the HECK has a J receiver? Everyone knows there's only X, Y & Z. Loaded question by the cop. This should be EASY for his defense team to get past.

3. "did not follow instructions when asked to count backward from a given number." Again, another very confusing question. What did the cop tell him to start from 10,000? The officer should have taken Chris' profession into consideration for this question. I'm sure Chris would have aced the question if allowed to speak normally. (e.g. the 40, the 30, the 20, the 10). (I believe Chris could have tripped up in the fact that Mid-field is not a number. A simple mistake any true football fan could make, and I'm sure many have at 2:AM) In fact if this incident was on the West Coast, he could have been describing the freeway system. To recite the California Freeways at 2:AM would actually be quite an accomplishment.

The article also goes on to say:

"The arresting officer noted that Chambers, 28, emitted a "very strong odor" of alcohol, had watery or glassy eyes and mumbled his words."

Did anyone ever see any of his interviews? The police were simply taking standard behavior out of context. Enough said on this one.

So, based on the above, I am confident Chambers will be fully exonerated, and will perhaps lead to law enforcement reform on DUI/DWI procedures when stopping NFL wide receivers.

OK. Go ahead & roast me. Just trying to lighten things up & have a little fun!

:chuckle:
Ya made me laugh.
 
I heard the cop was going to let him go with a warning and threw the keys to him, which he promptly dropped therefore raising suspicion since the cop had not seen him play.
 
:sidelol::sidelol::sidelol::sidelol:

PFT adds to the article by saying, "A couple of readers have pointed out to us that Dolphins receiver Chris Chambers was pulled over by the same North Carolina police department that arrested Panthers guard D'Anthony Batiste earlier this year.
Weapons charges against Batiste were dismissed by a judge who ruled that the decision to pull Batiste over for a window tinting violation was a pretext to search his car. Batiste alleges that he was pulled over for "driving while black.""

I went to school at UNC (Go Heels!), so I know these things can happen in that great state.

Chris might have taken a Tylenol with codeine or something along with one beer at dinner or something. Plus, he was probably tired as hell at that hour. I read that he was in Charlotte in some offseason workout program like the one Ronnie goes to in Arizona. He might have just been dead tired from intense workouts earlier that day and then he had a beer and a few pain killers that night to try to deal with the post workout aches and pains, etc.

Still ... why the hell didn't he just call a cab or a limo? I don't get it. Everyone knows the cops are out there after midnight on weekends looking for drunk drivers and crazy teenagers driving around like idiots. Use cruise control on weekend late nights on all roads even if you're totally sober!

If he was drinking a little and feeling out of it, he couldn't wait 30 minutes for a limo or cab to arrive? Who cares about leaving the $80K car in some parking lot overnight. It has security, maybe even a lo-Jack system. If someone steals it or vandalizes it, who friggin cares? It's insured. He could pick up a new car just like it the next day probably ... or a fancy rental car at least. It ain't worth getting in trouble with the law and the Commish and all that.
 
Well, that was cute...but seriously, would any of us be lenient on an NFL player if it were say, TO, Randy Moss, Lee Evans or Lavernious Coles ??

Of course not...we'd be complaining that the Commish hasn't suspended him already...Just because it was CC and not one of the other players outside of Miami, we're all taking more of a wait and see attitude...

At any rate, since this is his first issue, I doubt from a legal standpoint, he'll get any kind of stiff penalty...the question we want answered is what the commish thinks...

You know, it's interesting that a person who doesn't meet the legal definition of being drunk, according to the breathOlyzer can fail all those tests..hmm, I wonder what's Chris's reply to this unofficial report, since they didn't make an official one.
