That site looks about as medically credible as you. As in not very.

And I bet the less tech-savvy posters here appreciate all the malware you just posted a link to.

Sometimes I think you can't get douchier, then you surprise me.

OK, I'm done...until the next argument or the next time Fry speaks.

Jesus Christ. You really do have a one-upped story for every situation to back up your ridiculousness don't you?

You've just done it all and seen it all. Farming, teaching, psychiatry, coached several sports, reffed several sports, rhabdo expert, attorney, addiction counselor, dietitian, foreclosed on a family who had a tractor accident, saved a drunk man's life who drove his car into your yard...

You're a regular fucking Walter Mitty...

Keep it coming. This is a roll I never want to miss!

That's it?

No diagnosis? You're not going to tell me how you knew a guy just like me in your home town who was so salty and negative and beat his wife and kids (probably paranoid-schizophrenic with mania and narcissistic tendencies) and how you drug him out of a burning building in April of '91 which only happened because you forgot milk and had to run back to the store and saw the fire, but he was ungrateful and ended up drinking himself to death after being prosecuted under an obscure and little known clause of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1978 that, had he consulted with you, you could have acquitted him from?

Zingin' it!
 
Iowa Code:
In Iowa, it is illegal to consume alcohol or be intoxicated in a public place (except in establishments licensed to serve alcohol).

———

And except around college sports stadiums, sidewalks outside of bars, state and city parks.

Good Laws are only good when they are consistently enforced.

There might be a case to be made that Reiff was arrested BECAUSE he was a football player.

I’m not making that case but anecdotally, the law is not enforced according to code. It is selectively enforced. I don’t mind the code, as I said, I’m a teetotaler.

To me, it seems a stretch to arrest the guy. Maybe the cop did arrest him because he was a hazard to himself. I don’t know.

I don’t believe KF is grandstanding and it’s not anything to rip on him about, but if I were the HC, I wouldn’t suspend him. But he wouldn’t like me for quite awhile.
 
Rieff's experience struck a memory chord a little too close to home. In the summer of '91 RAGBRAI overnighted in the Amanas. Short version: completely and totally intoxicated by more than one substance, walking with a friend in the parking lot and looking for a ride back to the festivities and band at the top of the hill. Stuck out my thumb and a car stopped. I got in the back seat and only gradually realized it was a cop car when I noticed they were wearing some type of uniform and they started asking me questions. No door handles on the inside of the back seat doors. Saved when a teenager ran up and started pounding on the front windows, claiming he'd taken his Dad's golf cart and someone had stole it...about ready to wet his pants. We decided that was our chance to get out...and did, somehow. In my defense, it was dark out.

No just reacting the ridiculous statements about how the police were wrong and then you jumped in.

I never said what the officer did was wrong.

Thanks for all that copying and pasting of the laws, but at no point did I try to imply what Reiff did was legal. He was publicly intoxicated, that is against the law, but we do not see every person who walks out of a bar intoxicated get thrown in jail do we? You can't tell me the police have never cut someone a break who was obviously intoxicated.

While his decision to drink too much was not a good one, his decision to get an Uber home was. In those situations I would rather see the police help a person out (any person, not just a football player) rather than waste everyone's time and, potentially, ruining someone's life by arresting them.

Good or bad those days are long gone with cameras everywhere and a venue to share them. He'll be ok if he stays clean.

On this we agree. Like it or not, kid or not, fair or not, KFs reaction or not, these days it just doesn't pay to be in a "public" spotlight. Hell, people got tired of Lindsay Lohan, and the only thing people want to see of Kanye and Trump is a cage match. It's not "cute", any more, to be "stupid".

OK he was .2 or higher What does that take?

12 beers in one hour at 240 pounds.

.20 BAC Out of it. Confused. Dizzy. Requires help to stand or walk. If injured may not feel the pain. Nausea and vomiting. The gag reflex is impaired and you can choke if you do vomit. Blackouts are likely.
0.25 BAC All mental, physical and sensory functions are severely impaired. Near total loss of motor function control. Increased risk of asphyxiation from choking on vomit and of seriously injuring yourself by falls or other accidents.

AC/DC's Bon Scott was .41. I have no idea how he passed out in the backseat of a car in February, suffered hypothermia, and is widely believed to have choked on his own vomit:)

Help me out, Gold. Do you think it is possible to perform any type of bodily function at .41? Doesn't your whole body just shut down?
 
I knew someone who was pulled over for suspected drunken driving and tried to hide his breath by gargling a swig of Listerine.

That's like sticking your tongue to the railing to see how old it is outside.

Or lighting a match to see how much gas is in the tank.

We had a police officer visit our driver ed class in high school with mouthwash and a breathalyzer. He had a couple of volunteers spit out mouthwash then immediately blow into the breathalyzer. They hit .65, even .75, which is accurate for a short period of a few minutes.

"The official explanation is...he choked...on vomit. But it wasn't HIS vomit...they have no way of proving whose vomit it was...you can't really dust for vomit"--Spinal tap was onto this possibility...
 
I thought I was the only red neck on these boards. I feel the nepotism vibe as well, but back in the day, Iowa kids were being arrested more times then @tksirius has pounded off to pictures of my band. It was definitely a different culture at that time and when it happens now, it definitely seems rare and players get railroaded a bit and made an example.

You underestimate me. I have methods to keep my carpal tunnel in check, now.

He's not a victim. Get over it. And no, I've never been drunk. Rarely had alcohol, but I have personal reasons for it. At 21 I was forced just into my career to begin to foreclose on 3 families including a very nice MN farm family who went bankrupt due to their son who was about 22 making a tractor mistake and killing a teenage girl and they were inadequately insured. Reiff needs to grow up.

He's been given a huge gift in talent and a chance to make something big for himself. Stupid decision. Hopefully he learns from the mistake. Making him a victim is silly.

Didn't turn out too bad for BF. But he had a rich and influential dad to ease his football future.
