Man! Why oh Why!
I wonder what will become of him?
This is our first chance to publicly see what CDF will do in a situation
like this.

 He submitted to a standard field sobriety test, which showed test
 which showed impairment.

 Beard was then arrested and given a breathalizer test, [...]

Rock dumb.  

fwiw, I hope CDF knows better than to convict a man who has not been
proven guilty in a court of law.

Beard was driving a 2000 Pontiac Gran Prix.  I hope 'that' doesn't become a
story.

DUI's happen every day across every spectrum of society.

The same question could be asked of *any* of them.  Beard just becomes
noticeable because he is a football player.  Meanwhile Joe Blow pays his
$2k bail and gets out of jail and awaits trial.  Somehow there are no
reporters there covering Mr. Blow's release from jail.

Maybe - but this isn't a claimed case of assault or drug dealing or bank
robbery.  DUI's are typically pretty cut and dry.

When he wrecked the car at 2 AM while intoxicated (whether it holds up in
court or not) wasn't he breaking team rules?

[Beard just becomes noticeable because he is a football player.  Meanwhile

Similarly, when Joe Blow gets a promotion at work or earns an A in Quantum
Physics, there are no reporters there to cover that, either.  Being a
student-athlete (or athlete-student, sadly enough) is a two-way street, and
these kids are well aware of the excess attention and responsibility.  I
didn't hear anyone complain when 20 reporters were holding mini-recorders up
to Santonio when he was proclaiming himself Bentley Beard after the AU
thrashing.

Don't know.  The whole damn defense wrecked a Cadillic a few days ago. 
And I'm pretty sure they were following orders.  :)

In most cases I would agree, but there doesn't appear to
be much doubt in this case.  Beard was not a random stop.
He was involved in an accident and the policeman working
the accident smelled alcohol on his breath.  Beard admitted
he had been drinking, failed the field sobriety test, and
blew a .10 on the BAT.  He was also driving on a suspended
license.  I'm not suggesting CDF throw him off the team.
Stallings' handling of Palmer demonstrated that there is
some wisdom in giving a young man a second chance.  But
Beard should receive some punishment.  Perhaps CDF could
suspend him for a number of games beginning with USM.
