Lack of Action, Loss of Life
Dan says all the time on the show when there is an incident involving alcohol, driving and a professional athlete: You make so much money, hire a car, call a cab, call a friend. This time the wrong choice cost a life. None one is going to dispute that this was not planned. It was an accident. But this is an accident that didn’t have to happen. A life did not need to be lost and another life would not have needed to go through the criminal prosecution process if a phone call had been made instead of a car key going in the ignition. The losses overall are very sad for so many and didn’t need to happen. Jerry Brown is gone. Family and friends have lost someone close to them and they are grieving his loss. Josh Brent has been arrested on charges of intoxication manslaughter and his family and friends are grieving not only for Jerry Brown’s loss but the potential loss of their loved one behind bars. Josh Brent is grieving over the loss of a teammate but the possible loss of what he had or what his future could have been. Senseless. Sad. Swallow your pride. Call a car service, call a cab, call a friend or family member. Don't drive after drinking. I am sure that Monday's show will have a heavy aspect in part, due to yet another tragedy.
