Ex-OSU QB Troy Smith arrested for DUI/possession of marijuana
Not quite sure yet if this will help or hurt his endorsement deal with Life Support but former OSU QB (and noted Michigan nemesis) Troy Smith was arrested last night outside of Columbus for DUI and possession.
http://buckeyextra.dispatch.com/content/stories/2016/04/03/0403-report-…
The arresting officer noted in his report that when he first walked up to Smith’s car, “Smith said something that sounded like he said he was an officer. I asked him if he was a police officer, and he said, ‘I’m great.’ ”
I don't doubt that Smith felt great. Sadly, the law doesn't permit one to feel great in quite that way and operate a vehicle. Hopefully, this is an aberration and not a pattern and he can move forward from here.
great little Sunday morning pick me up.....

It's interesting to see people in the comments freaking out about the marijuana and not the fact that he was driving drunk. I would say something snarky about people that read the Columbus Dispatch but instead I'll take the moral high ground.

But it's probably an Ohio-based company...so yeah.
The History of Life Support
Life Support was founded in 2012 in Columbus, Ohio, with one mission: create a hangover relief product that actually works. Rather than selecting a few herbs and vitamins at random due to their supposed hangover preventative properties, we set out to discover the most accepted hangover cures from around the world. Our search led us to Seoul, South Korea, where we were exposed to an exploding market for Japanese raisin tree fruit extract. Tens of millions of people have already reaped the benefits of this elusive raisin tree fruit and yet there was virtually no awareness of this breakthrough hangover cure in the United States.
per Wikipedia for this Hovenia dulcis:
It has been used in traditional Japanese, Chinese, and Korean medicines to treat fever, parasitic infection, as a laxative, and a treatment of liver diseases, and as a hangover treatment.
Seems to have all the bases covered
Glad I was safely in the house instead of out on the roads at 2:30 this morning.
Nothing good about this. Not for Smith, his family, the Buckeyes, and especially us.
Serve your penance, kid. It'll be costly but hopefully it serves as a lesson.
Sucking in the NFL, yeah that's funny. Saying you're not here to play school is funny too. Poor decisions that could really negatively affect ones life, a family's life, or an innocent victim's, that is not a laughing manner.
However, he's supposed to be a grown man. Instead, he knowingly drank himself over the legal limit and then decided to get behind the wheel.
What a fucking idiot. He could've killed somebody, not just himself.
Go fuck yourself, Troy.

"Go fuck yourself Troy....and Graham, and Roy, and Fitz, and AJ, and Moeller, and Minick, and Harbaugh, and...."

He doesn't deserve sympathy for drunk driving - I can think of few things more irresponsible and downright stupid than getting behind the wheel of a car and putting other peoples' lives at risk because you don't want to call a cab - but anyone taking pleasure in this stuff should probably take a step back. For one thing, UM has its own checkered history with alcohol and former players, and secondly, there really is nothing superior to watching a guy make a terrible decision.
I sincerely hopes he learns from this and never does something this dumb again.

Fair enough but apples to apples I'm not aware of Tom Desmond or Charles getting pinched for DUIs with blunts on the dash.

Abby Wambach busted for DUI last night in Portland...one more athlete needed for the trifecta.
I'm in favor of legalization, too, but I hope you're not implying that driving under the influence of THC is not dangerous.
It's legal where I live, but driving under the influence is not. Both ideas are sound.
Yep. I was asking because a lot of people think they can get away with driving stoned, and they are sorely mistaken. Such is life.
If you pissed your career away like so many Buckeyes do.
