Kindle had more than twice the legal limit of alcohol in his system
Posted by Mike Florio on December 28, 2010, 7:37 AM EST

When Ravens linebacker Sergio Kindle was arrested Sunday for DUI, testing revealed a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.17 percent, according to the Baltimore Sun.

That’s twice the legal limit of 0.08.

Kindle says he was driving home with friends, which means either that they were foolish to ride with a drunk guy or that Kindle was the least drunk guy in the vehicle.

“I just want to apologize to the organization because I don’t want to bring a negative light to the team,” Kindle said. “It was my mistake. I can’t take it back now.”

Kindle’s rookie season was wiped out by a fractured skull suffered not long before training camp. He supposedly fell down a flight of stairs in the dark. The news of his 0.17 percent blood-alcohol concentration will serve only to fuel suspicion that he was fueled with the same kind of beverages at the time he suffered his head injury.

Kindle was arrested for DUI in 2007 and he crashed his car into a building two years later. In the latter case, he claimed he was texting while driving.

“He’s got a track record for making really poor decisions,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday, per the Sun. “He knows that. That’s a problem.”

It’s a problem for the player, and it’s a problem for the team that invested a second-round pick in him during the 2010 draft

I was hoping for Kindle during the draft too... Glad we didn't pick him up. What a buffoon...

What a dumb ass. The kid has the world by the balls and is boozing it away.

Although deemed a first-round talent by most analysts, many teams were scared off by Kindle's often-injured knee and his off-the-field incidents.<sup id="cite_ref-Hensley_Baltimore_Sun_9-0" class="reference">[10] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio_Kindle#cite_note-Hensley_Baltimore_Sun-9)</sup> Kindle fell into the second round and was ultimately drafted by the Baltimore Ravens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore_Ravens), 43rd overall.

Well, many of us spoke very, very vocally about the kid being a head case and a character issue. But sometimes in some people's minds, talent is more important than character.

The fact that the kid has had multiple incidents in college and now already two shady incidents in the pros tells you a lot about this kid's future.

[POND_OF_RED]

I thought Kindle falling to the second round was a gift from the football gods going into the second day of the draft. Glad I don't work for the Chiefs front office. Waste of talent...

[Lzen]

When you hear Haley or Pioli talk about character, remember guys like Kindle. Glad our organization understands the value of character.

[-King-]

Remember when the drafturbators said that there was no way he was drunk when he fell down those stairs? Lol.

Yeah, that sure looks unlikely now. The other deal might still have been legit, but it won't matter now.

[mcaj22]

this dude could have been a star in the making learning under guys like Ray Lewis and Suggs.

what an idiot.

[Demonpenz]

Sergio Kindle sounds like a way to read E-books in Italian

I have learned that anything those fuckers write is exactly the opposite of the truth.

Yep, There were guys on here that were way pissed off The Chiefs passed on him. :eek:

[Chiefnj2]

Does this mean the commissioner will suspend him for a few games if he is ever healthy enough to play a game?

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Yep, There were guys on here that acted like a bunch of toddlers that had thier toy taken away when The Chiefs passed on him. :eek:

FYP :p

Sounds like he's got a pretty good deal, getting paid $282,000 to hang out and play video games all day.

Granted, it would be a better deal if he'd actually play football. That's an expensive life lesson, and he's never going to have another chance at that money.

[Fairplay]

I just read a book on Kindle.
