Yeah. That’s Arizona for you (unless that’s a misprint). .08 for a 200 lb person is four beers.

SF Chronicle wrote:49ers’ response to Foster charges is shameful

A ruptured eardrum.

Eight to 10 punches to the head.

Dragged by the hair.

Forced to flee her home and flag down a stranger in order to call the police.

Those are the disturbing details in the charges brought by the Santa Clara County district attorney’s office against 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster, involving an alleged violent incident with his live-in girlfriend.

The D.A. has had two months to investigate, following the Feb. 11 arrest. Two months to decide whether there was enough evidence to charge Foster with a crime.

The D.A. decided there was.

Foster appeared at an arraignment on Thursday afternoon with his attorney, Josh Bentley, who has represented other former 49ers in criminal trouble, including Aldon Smith. Foster did not enter a plea; a hearing for that was set for April 30, and he was ordered to have no contact with the victim.

The charges include felony domestic violence, inflicting great bodily injury, forcefully attempting to prevent a victim from reporting a crime and possession of an assault weapon and a high-capacity magazine. He faces up to 11 years in prison.

The 49ers, meanwhile, have turtled. The team that has talked big about a new era of accountability did not release Foster on Thursday morning. It has not even been brave enough to attach Jed York’s or John Lynch’s name to a bland statement. Instead it issued the anonymous “49ers organization” news release.

“The 49ers organization is aware of today’s disturbing charges regarding Reuben Foster. We will continue to follow this serious matter. Reuben is aware that his place in our organization is under great scrutiny and will depend on what is learned through the legal process.”

Addison Russell. Ugh.

I know my feelings on this really don't matter for shit, but fuck. It figures, the guy whose BR page I sponsored the day he was called up, whose jersey I bought, and for whom I cheered the loudest when he hit two homers against LA in the NLCS, is a domestic abuser.

Time for a new jersey. I'm thinking Heyward now.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

There was a single cryptic reference by a friend of Melisa Russell wife in an Instagram post (who didn't even claim to have firsthand knowledge). Then there was no other evidence. Until last night, when Melisa Russell apparently posted a long post about years of physical and emotional abuse.

I mean, it could have been a skill judgment and he would be acquitted there too, but even if he figured it out first it would feel like an undersell.

Hm. Wouldn't be surprising.

Luckily (sort of), Russell has been so bad this year, that it isn't really that hard of a decision for the Cubs to make, at least not for this season. Unlike Aroldis Chapman, who was crucial to the Cubs' success in 2016, the Cubs can do without Russell.

Russell placed on "administrative leave" in accordance with the Joint MLB-MLBPA Domestic Violence Policy.

Breaking laws, but not beating women, anyway.

Broncos' backup quarterback Chad Kelly arrested for first degree felony trespass.

The guy has a history of bad behavior.

I’m totally baffled that they deemed this non-alcohol related, so didn’t do a breathalyzer.

Didn't Von Miller have some run-ins over alcohol? Maybe alcohol "not related" so that it takes Von's name out of it as he was the host of the party?

If he wasn't white and the nephew of a HoFer doubt he wouldn't have gotten the six extra chances he got (his talent -- such as it is -- helped a little I'll admit).

Anyway, as long as he stays white and rich he'll be fine.

Another back-up QB arrested. Sounds like he was just driving like an asshole, but it's NJ so it must have been really bad.

Not sure they were ready to bench Eli yet anyway.

The Cubs tendered a contract for next year to Addison Russell. He and the team both put out fairly admirable statements - but I'd be more impressed if Russell delivered his personally.
