Seahawk Coleman crashes after smoking spice. In October his lawyer initially said his client fell asleep at the wheel.

On Oct. 14, Seattle Seahawks fullback Derrick Coleman smoked spice, but about an hour later “thought he was fine to drive,” according to Bellevue, Wash., police. That’s when Coleman was going 60 miles per hour in a 35 zone before crashing his truck into another vehicle right in front of him, then kept hitting the accelerator until both vehicles flipped over, police said. Witnesses helped Coleman get out of the truck but he ran away, barefoot. An officer found him several blocks away.

I guess I don't know the Seagulls lineup well enough. I saw that picture on the news and didn't register it was a team member.

The 12s are loyal to the end.

Derrick Coleman is an idiot.

But knew well enough to outfit his vehicle with those nice anchor shackles for just such an occasion.

It bugs me how sports players get to have their legal proceedings moved to a more convenient time.

The sadly coincidental thing here is that what he did is very much like what his role is on the field - go full speed, crash into people, then keep pushing them back. Maybe Lynch was following him. He's lucky no one died.

I love sports, I love to play and watch sports but some of the things that go on to help and or cover up athlete behavior is very silly.

While I am not taking a side on the Florida State/Winston rape case, I felt the way the school and the Tallahassee Police did not handle the case well. I see recently that the school settled with the woman involved in the case for around a million dollars. There are too many cases, particularly in college towns where athletes are given too much leeway in criminal behavior.

There is a lot of good in sports but a lot of contradictions. You can have Dallas Cowboys Jason Witten, a victim of domestic violence who works tirelessly to help charities and others like him be on the the same team as Greg Hardy who got off on a technicality on beating his former girlfriend. IMHO, he should have been permanently banned. I am hoping he is not retained in free agency.

Derek was considered to be one of the good guys of pro sports. He has a genetic hearing disability and is legally deaf. His was an inspiring story, so it's sad to see what has turned up.

Yep. I've met him personally. He came to my previous job to help celebrate a trip to the playoffs.
