Its amazingly hard to understand how someone with unlimited resources commits multiple DUI's, if it happened once you can chalk it up to possibly a terrible lapse of judgement, but this is just wanton disregard
How does he not understand, or the people around him not make him understand what he is giving up by doing this. Guessing he gets a year

BTW - this will be Smith's 3rd DUI. He also had firearms charges and he made a joke about a bomb while in LAX and that got him charged. He is not a smart man.
But he can play football so the 49ers GM, Trent Baalke, became his personal mentor last year. Perhaps he should stick to GM.
Smith's contract was renegotiated in the off season (so I am reading) so there is little cap hit if he is released.

Sources told NBC Bay Area that Smith apparently hit a neighbor's car after an argument, causing minor damage. The neighbor called police, who responded and arrested him, the sources said.
This is Smith's fifth arrest - three of which have been for driving under the influence - since 2012.

So, who is going to gave a "second chance" to a guy who had 42 QB sacks in his first 3 full seasons? If Ray MacDonald got (and still squandered) a second chance, you would think Aldon Smith will be grabbed by someone.

Cant imagine Smith gets anything less than a full year suspension from the league at this point...or maybe im reading the situation wrong, so im not sure anyone will sign him at this point.

Yeah, he's now got multiple violations of the NFL personal conduct policy AND the NFL substance abuse policy (assuming it was booze). I'd expect a full year or very close to it.

Wow: Jets HC Todd Bowles said QB Geno's Smith sucker punched in locker room by IK Enemkpali. Geno now out 6-10 weeks.
Can't figure out how to embed the tweet.

Just read about him, he assaulted a police officer just last year, and the Jets still drafted him. Sounds about right..

^Can't punch a QB if you don't actually have one (sorry Bills fans).

Not sure if this is the place for it, but what do you guys get from Shaw, NFL Ticket? Any way to just get Redzone? Can you even just get it online?

I get it from Shaw. In 2013 RedZone came free with Sunday Ticket. Now I think it is separate because I got Sunday Ticket last year but had to pay extra for RedZone (which I didn't of course). I assume that means you can get RedZone alone without having to get Sunday Ticket.
I think you can get ST or RZ with a PS4 or XBox (or maybe both can). Probably will need a US proxy though.

It was bad enough the Chiefs tried him for 4 ish years as a starter....worse that he's live for like 3 years since that with chances to start.
