If this guy really had an issue we would have heard about it all over NFL network among other sources, not just some random internet report. Many of us today could have been considered potential alcohol abusers during our college years. I think this is an overblown report because I have been researching Maualuga for 3 months now and haven't seen legitimate concern from credible sources.
BTW- I remember when they said Randy Moss had a weed problem, he fell in the draft. Okay not the greatest example of character, but Brady loves him.
Hmmm.....think I'll have a drink!

Lol, you're kind of right. If I had gotten caught my scouting report would have said smoked cigerettes, used weed, and tried cocaine on more then one occasion. And of course the report would also say I couldn't handle my alcohol. Ironically I don't use any of these substances today, except maybe occasionally a glass of wine but other then that I'm completely sober and have no problems with addiction (quit ciggerettes cold turkey after a little less then a year of smoking). I also got into a few fights and was exposed to every form of discipline in High school at least once with the exception being expulsion. Even though I pretty much detest fighting these days, well at least street fighting. I do enjoy learning judo and Tae Kwon Doe in a controlled enviornment where sparring partners respect each others well being.
Man, thats crazy though. I'm nothing like that today. In fact a lot of my friends would tell you that I'm one of the most square, homebody types they know. Of course I never really got caught with all the things I listed except in High School, however I had a relatively low profile in college compared to that of a colleigate athlete.
