Brent quite the idiot!

driving 110+ mph when drunk is the definition of a drunk stupid fool. Some kids just never learn a lesson. He's going to jail for awhile, and his future is not good. What an absolute shame. Makes you embarrassed he wore the orange and blue.

It's a bad deal. He made a really stupid decision and now he and his family and the Brown family will have to live with the consequences. No program is exempt from this type of thing. Jamar Smith is lucky that Brian Carlwell wasn't killed the night Jamar made his stupid decision to drive. I hope no family anywhere has to get that late night phone call, but .............

i don't know, at least he was drunk. brown was supposedly sober and got into the car of a drunk driver, didn't put on a seatbelt, and let brent drive over 100mph. not too bright either.

Guy code.  I cannot recall ever telling a buddy who was driving to slow down when I was young

Were you there, do you know how it went down?  Sure, Brown shouldn't have gotten in the car with him, duh.  But to pretend that once in the car, Brown was going to force him to slow him down, is pretty nuts.  Maybe you haven't been around many drunk people, but they don't tend to think very rationally or listen to the advice of others.  Shoulda, woulda, coulda's in a scenario like this are pointless.

Might be in most instances but do you want your buddy to get into trouble.


It's a tragic situation for sure. Both used poor judgement.

+1

 Yes, I'm sure you know exactly how everything went down based on that, or at least you think you do.

Quite honestly the best thing for Brent is for them to throw the book at him. He needs to be made an example of what will happen if you commit crimes.

1. A message needs to be sent that pro athete or not this kind of dangerous behavior can't be tolerated. No special treatment or being able to get away with it. It would send a message both to the youth in Bloomington IL as well as other players in the pros and college.

2. Brent has a problem and in order to save his life and perhaps salvage a career he needs to suffer the consequences that hopefully would shock him into changing his life around.
