All-Time NFL Sacker Meets His Match - Page 2

While Smith has had his ears open for advice from such bigwigs as Donald Trump in matters of business, none of his powerful supporters have been influential enough to halt Smith’s potentially destructive behavior of driving while intoxicated.

But now I will impart my advice to Smith - Do one more thing for the community - and yourself - get a chauffeur! You can afford it. I drive the same streets here as you do, and don’t want to see your luck run out and you hurt others or yourself. I'd rather remember you as the local hero you have been.

If not being behind the wheel crimps your style, a passenger seat in the limo can be customized with a steering wheel where you can fall asleep like in the old days. We’ll place the limo bar right next to your seat to insure the desired level of intoxication. And you won't get charged with refusing a DUI test, because you won’t be asked to take one.

But, the best option is to do what you have done so many times on the field - defeat the opponent, in this case, alcoholism. Winning this battle will perhaps be as valuable as winning a star.

    Has the millions spent on alcohol ads during football games contributed to the heavy drinking population amongst sports enthusiasts and players?
