People were condemning drunk driving in the first post, and here they are condemning Gabe for staying out late the night before a game. Those are two different subjects, guys.
In the context of drunk driving, I thought people were being harsh on a young kid. That was on a non-game night in the kid's hometown where he was hanging out with college buddies. So, I consider that excusable. I have seen no evidence that he wasn't able to handle himself on the road so I give him the benefit of the doubt, since I have done this exact thing.
IF HE DID stay out and drink til late before an afternoon game, then it's inexcusable. This is not something that I would do, and that's what I'm basing my opinion on.
Attacking someone's logic doesn't make a lot of sense.
Maybe look in the mirror before you condemn others.
First of all, I don't think this thread should even be here, true or not. There's plenty of tabloid crap and voyeurism out there, we don't need to know all the details of the player's private lives.
The drinking and driving is another matter- yes, it's forgiveable, maybe even twice, but people are killed by drunk drivers every day. I think that's way more serious than being at a stripclub all night, not that that's such a great way to spend your time.
Anyway, the reason I think he should be cut is that he's played poorly almost every time he's been given the chance and isn't improving. Looks like a fringe player that's just not quite good enough.
