Addison Arrested AGAIN

[medaille]

While I think drinking’s probably not for him, I’m a little curious as to what his friend group looks like. If I were him, I’d be hiring a friend to just be his more sober buddy. He knows he’s going out drinking. He knows bad things happen when he drinks, but he’s not ready to quit. Have someone to guide him to safety on this late nights. Seems like a lot of his nights end up with solo problems though.

Agree...

But this requires common sense on his part, and I dont think that exists anywhere in the lobes between the ears.

IIRC, they could have asked him to leave and he refused and then be charged with trespass,  even if they were still open for business.

Yeah and at 3:45am, I am sure he is innocent of all wrongdoings.  Idiot.

Oh come on, y'old fogies. :-) When I was in Vegas a couple times for my son's baseball tourneys, I was probably the ONLY parent not out until nearly dawn every night. But then it's not my thing. I hate Vegas and I despise casinos. Sounds like they had a helluva time though. 

I'm guessing at some point, there was a moment when Addison had the opportunity to just leave and do the right thing, but because he was likely drinking, his judgement failed to remind him of the consequences. But that's what alcohol does best.

Trying to cheat in a casino (counting cards, etc) can get you trespassed.

Bad look for a good player. Not sure where he goes from here. I agree with Supa in that if I'm the Vikes, I just hope he figures it out enough to trade him at some point or at the very least get a strong season from 3 next year. His trade value is in the dirt so unless they're to the point where they're gonna cut him, I'd hang on.

Also, no, this would not make me go throw money at Nailor. Our passing offense this year couldn't support one WR, let alone two or three. I guess it depends who they plan to have starting at QB next year but if it's going to be McCarthy, I can't see the Vikes spending much if anything on receivers in free agency.

I don't think we should overreact too much about this. Doesn't sound like there was any drunk and disorderly, no DUI, no resisting arrest, no sexual component, no violence. It's just a trespassing charge, and for all we know he may actually be innocent. His lawyer seems to think so. And yes, I'm fully aware that's what lawyers always say. But they're not always wrong. And cops are not always right. 

Without question he puts himself in bad situations far too often, and that has to stop. But we once had a player who was able to defeat his addictions and go on to 8 Pro Bowls and an NFL Man of the Year award. Carter was 25 when he had his come-to-Jesus moment (literally, in his case). It took being released to wake him up. Hopefully it doesn't come to that for Addison, who is 23.

It might be a generalization, but being awake at 3 in the morning at a place that serves alcohol seems like a recipe for bad decisions.  Call me old if you want, but there is a reason for the saying "nothing good happens after midnight."

At least he was getting separation & Maintained leverage.

As the defendant was being escorted out of the building,” the report stated, “he repeatedly had to be redirected towards the front exit.”

At this pace, the only team that will take him is the Mean Machine.
