IF it can be proven someone in authority was aware he had been drinking and failed to take action...sure. Good luck with that. [Reply]
There are plenty of places where employees have bottles in their desk, so I doubt this was the 1st time someone left #1 Arrowhead or many workplaces with a slight buzz. True enough he shouldn't have been driving but I think the issue here is more about the speed than the BAC. [Reply]
Clark should have cut bait with Andy and gave the team to Eric. This distraction will go on and on. The SB was partially lost becuase of it. Players were not focused at all. OL is main reason but we looked flat as fuck. [Reply]
If he was speeding. He may have left work early for an emergency at home. All other thoughts focused there. Still wrong, but more understandable. [Reply]
A bullshit speculative article where the writer is upset the Chiefs organization hasn’t made anymore statements to the media about the incident. Well no shit why would they make any more statements than they have to while the case is still going on. Any organization is going to try to protect themselves from liability and that means stfu while this case is still going on. [Reply]

Got it. It just seems silly to me that there keeps being this notion floated that the Chiefs will be held responsible for this. An average game probably has 20,000+ fans leaving the parking lot with a higher BAC level.
Outside of football, every employer I've worked for in the past 20 years has had beer Fridays and celebrations in the workplace involving alcohol. None of them had any attempt at oversight or limits other than running out of booze. Everybody is expected to act responsibly on their own. [Reply]

This. Hunt should've just fired Andy after having won the Super Bowl. Surely he should've foreseen that his son/assistant coach would get into a car accident while drunk a few days before the Super Bowl. [Reply]

Should probably go ahead and sell the team as well. Happened under his watch. [Reply]
