There used to be a free car service for NFL players, then the price became like $80 or some ridiculously low amount for a pro athlete. Then, if I recall, the NFLPA abolished it because they were afraid the info would get back to the team (as if "hey I got really drunk and so I arranged for someone to drive me home" is worse than "hey I got really drunk so I got in Maybach and drove into a tree").
You gotta wonder though how many are stupid and how many are just addicted. Though I don't know how much addiction necessarily has to do with your decision to drive, just your decision of when to stop drinking.
I think a lot of these guys are just so full of themselves they think there's no way they'll get caught, or if they do the cop will let them go, which I'm sure happens a lot.

Cops don't usually let them go. Though I did personally see it happen once (was a passenger in the car, player wasn't drunk, just hitting triple digits speed wise). Problem is a lot of other people let them get away with what they want, they probably figure who won't. It's a very different world they live in

But you would think after the first, second, even THIRD offense where they don't get off the hook the light bulb would come on. I guess the problem is the filament burned out long ago.

As a lover of big cats, it's easy to get a Lion and a Bengal mixed up.
