Briggs story gets weirder; ESPN Radio host condones actions

Saw this on Deadspin today.
Someone snapped a picture of of what is supposedly Briggs’ Lamborghini about 10:30 in the South Loop. Said the anonymous reader:
…dude kept blowing through stoplights at 100mph, only to have my slow ass pull up behind him at the next light every time, which was funny.
I’m telling you folks, Briggs and the Bears are both hiding the fact he was drunk. He needs to man up to his mistake and take the consequences. Don’t want to hurt yourself or the team? Hey, don’t fucking drink and drive.
To make it better, that jackass Harry Teinowitz from the Mac, Jurko and Harry on ESPN Radio 1000 in Chicago said yesterday that he has no problem with Briggs running from the scene because it benefits the team. Had Briggs been arrested for DUI he would have faced an automatic 4-game suspension.
Are you fucking kidding me?
I fired off an email to ESPN Radio 1000 management telling them I’m boycotting the station until they fire his sorry ass. How can you have this dickwad get on the radio and basically tell people (including kids) that, hey, it’s okay if you run from the scene of an accident as long as you don’t hurt anyone.
He tried to back peddle once the angry calls started coming in but he still held his ground saying that Briggs did the right thing by not jeopardizing his playing time or the mental make-up of the Bears. He actually praised Briggs for thinking of himself and the team.
I was beyond shock when I heard that yesterday. I mean I was pissed. What Briggs did was wrong and what Teinowitz said was wrong. The last thing we need is more drunk drivers on the road knowing that if they get in an accident all they have to do is run and everything will be okay.
If I had any real motivation I’d picket outside ESPN Radio 1000’s offices until Teinowitz came out and then I’d punch his fat ass in the face and stick my sign up his ass.
Instead I’ll just blog about it.
And done.
haha wow, sports fanatics are retarded. Like Lordnovas and the whole “Wahts the big dill, their jyust dogs” thing.
NFL is in for a banner year, I can feel it already.
Huh.
