Taylor Lautner builds it — and locked-out NFL players come to play [Video]
IRVING, Texas
-- San Francisco 49ers mlb baseball jerseys defensive
end Demarcus Dobbs walked away from a one-vehicle accident on his 25th birthday
last month and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Less than two weeks later, with the
NFL rocked by the car crash that killed Dallas Cowboys player Jerry Brown and left
his teammate, Josh Brent, facing a manslaughter charge, Dobbs swears he'll find
another way home whenever he does too much partying.
"I'm never going to put myself
in that situation ever again," he said.
This is, of
course, exactly what the NFL, wholesale jerseys china its teams
and the players' union wants to hear amid fresh questions about whether all the
warnings and safety nets – because players in most of the major sports leagues
arguably have more than the general public – will ever be enough to prevent
accidents and deaths.
"There's
a lot of pressure being http://www.mlbnfljerseyssupply.comin the NFL
... but it's no excuse for bad decisions," Detroit coach Jim Schwartz
said. "Players have a lot of options, tools at their disposal, that they
need to take advantage of, but it comes down to individuals making good
decisions."
Brown's death on Saturday and the
arrest of defensive tackle Josh Brent after police say he caused the fatal
wreck by speeding and driving drunk put the NFL Players Association's safe ride
program back in the spotlight. It was revamped three years ago after concerns
that enough players weren't using it.
Union spokesman Carl Francis said the
program is a strong point of emphasis, and every player's membership card
includes the contact information. And CEO John Glavin of Florida-based
Corporate Security Solutions Inc., which runs the program, said he is happy
with how the union gets the word out on the program.
He also stressed the confidentiality
of the program, saying the company doesn't even tell the union when players
call for rides.
Jacksonville cornerback CB Rashean
Mathis, the team's union representative, said players rarely, if ever, use the
program.
