Denver Broncos running back Knoshawn Moreno was arrested for DUI in the wee hours after the Super Bowl. Lots of drivers probably got nailed after imbibing those specially priced $5 pitchers of beer at a bar during the Big Game. What set Knoshawn apart was:
He was speeding along at 75 mph in a 45 mph Construction Zone. It's always a good idea to read those "Construction Zone - Speed Limits Strictly Enforced" signs, Big Guy.
He was driving his Bentley. It's hard to escape police notice while driving a vehicle that costs more than an officer earns in two years.
Knoshawn lacked car insurance. The man can afford a $200 K car, but "forgot" to insure it. How can you miss all those commercials with the cute little lizard, Knoshawn?
The Bentley's vanity license plate read "Sauced". It could have been more inflammatory to police sensibilities though. A vanity plate reading "Drunk" with a bumper sticker stating "My Other Car Is a Bar Stool" gets you pulled over for sure.
Football commentators constantly remind us that it is a mental as much as a physical game. Playbooks have more pages than "War and Peace" and players must memorize every formation, pass route, blocking scheme, and defensive alignment. Genius whether in particle physics or the finer points of the screen pass does not necessarily imply common sense. Knoshawn failed the common sense test when he barrelled along in his Bentley that night.
