lol do you even 9ers ?

He has a point, Aldon needs to have some sort of wake up call... Like, maybe a STD and bad haircut.

He has learned his lesson on the second DUI, getting upset at the airport is nothing. He doesn't have a IDGAF attitude or above the Law whatever.

It doesn't matter what Aldon's attitude is, the fact if the matter remains that he has exceptional skills and therefore will be treated differently. Life isn't fair, get over it.

You can try to gloss it over however you want, and justify his actions somehow because of his talent. He is proving time and again that he doesn't get it, and I am pretty sure he is an alcoholic. Unless he can get control of the latter, he will keep repeating the former. I get that you can't just dump talent without trying to help the person, but if he keeps getting introduced to the police ... at some point the bad will outweigh the good. And if you are not an alcoholic or substance abuser, then you don't know what you are talking about. He will have to fight for sobriety for the rest of his life, and stay forever diligent. Let's hope he can ... moreso for the man himself than the football player.

From the human perspective, yes he will have to battle his demons probably throughout his life. But in regards to this team, he still represents more value even with his off-the-field stuff than his replacement. I wasn't denying it marginalizing his substance issues, but stating that his leash is larger than most.

how do you know he's an alcoholic ?

how do you know what he does away from football ?

Gues what...You don't ?

I don't think he'll be charged. LA DA is requesting more info (can't imagine why ALL wasn't stated in arrest report) but then will realize Aldon was just being an ass and TSA went all Tackleberry on him.

Maybe because he checked himself into a rehab center after a DUI? Just a guess.

He and 49ers had did that for NFL reasons and precautionary reasons.

no one knows how he is, He could be a light weight and the two DUIs were the only time he drank. who knows...there isn;t one shred of evidence that he has a drinking problem other then he had too much to drink on those days.

I'm not 100% sure but it sounded like both were pleaded out on structured settlements (to 2 different plantiffs). This means he's not admitting guilt or wrong-doing but settled to make that part, "go away." This means since he's already taken action, they will probably be dropped (if they hadn't been already).

Those were civil settlements though, which doesn't have anything to do with the criminal courts.

Gotcha. But as a result, they help his overall case don't they...sort of sends the message that, "No harm, no foul. Resolved. Let's move on to the misdemenor which is obviously a big misunderstanding."

That would do it...lol

I hope Aldon turns things Around in his Life and I also hope the 49ers pick up his 2015 option. We need this guy to produce as he has his 1st 3 years but we also need him to live a clean, happy healthy life too.

Just sprint off the field Aldon, and set your helmet down quickly and rest on the bench, hands on knees. You'll be alright, son!
