Two NFL players arrested for DWI in two days

The NFL season may be over, but does not mean that their players do not stop making news.  NFL players Will Allen and Byron Westbrook were arrested this weekend in seperate instances.  It is a shame when a person is merely arrested and it makes national news.  Both of these men are presumed to be innocent.

Mr. Allen was arrested while passing a DWI checkpoint.  Luckily, the citizens of Texas and more specificially Houston do not have to deal with these type of unreasaonable stops.  I have discussed DWI checkpoints before on my journal.  If you would like to see what I wrote last year click here concerning checkpoints and what the Texas legislature had in mind.

The Westbrook family is having a difficult week.  Byron Westbrook's brother, Brian Westbrook, a NFL running back, was released from his Philadelphia Eagle contract today.  I imagine both of these men can not wait for the next season to start since the playing field is where athletes are most able to put away their distractions.
