Anyone remember that movie Tron?
"This next song... it's about the White Sox. It's called: F*** Em'." - Eddie Vedder
I bet they pulled him over originally
because he did not look old enough to drive without an adult in the car.

He's making only $650k
After he gets out of his salary control years, I’m sure he won’t be driving 3 year old models anymore.
yeah "only" 650k.....lol

The history of sports is filled with stories of athletes squandering away every penny they have
And then being left with nothing after their careers are over. Tim, while making a decent salary and on the verge of making a lot more, sounds like he’s not taking any chances by blowing his money on a Bentley. Remember Jay Williams of the Bulls . . .
How about Antoine Walker?
$110 million-plus in career earnings, and is now being arrested for passing bad checks all over the country.
Linky…
And before you blast him for his (admitedly dumb) spending habits, read all the way to the end:
When he had money to spare, Walker also enjoyed giving it away, particularly to children dealt bad hands in life. Raised by a single mother on Chicago’s South Side, he knew a lot about that. He established a charitable organization, The 8 Foundation, to channel his philanthropy. He arranged for Christmas gifts and courtside seats at Celtics games for underprivileged youngsters, paid for new uniforms and travel to tournaments for youth basketball teams, and conducted free basketball camps.
He also rewarded loyal family members and friends with expensive gifts. Shortly after being drafted, he gave his best friend a new car. A Mercedes sport utility vehicle parked in the driveway of his mother’s home was a gift from Antoine to his younger sister. And early in his NBA career, he paid off the debt his mother accumulated sending him to Catholic schools. He finally received his high school diploma when he took care of his overdue tuition.
A lot of these guys grow up so poor (and are never really educated about how to balance their checkbooks, let alone manage millions of dollars of income, expenses, investments, and the pressures that come along) that they never have a chance to really make the best of it. Sad really. Some of the leagues are starting to require rookies to take on some sort of financial management class, best thing they can do for them.

That's a really sad story.

...and there are MANY more stories of athletes....
….who never have a problem with money the rest of their lives…
But you’re looking to have a serious discussion on why he’s “only” driving an 06 Mercedes and I’m just being a smart ass, so……….never mind.

Is this really a surprise
Am I the only one who thinks even on the Cubs more than 50% probably use the drug as well?
I’m not advocating it and as someone who’s never smoked, this just isn’t a big deal to me anymore.
About 40% of american have tried it at some point.
Your estimate is probably a bit high considering there is a good number of guys who probably abstain for health reasons (although i’d hope they then abstain from drinking too), but considering the normal upbringing of the average MLB player, as well as their wealth and undoubted easy access to it, i bet a good number do.
It isn’t tested for…

Her estimate is high. Oh, that's rich.
Actually, 40% of Americans sounds kinda low to me.
Catch my act on Twitter as @dat_cubfan_dave.
Supposedly about 90 - 100 million americans over 12 have atleast given it a chance...
… although it is hard to estimate how many people have done something when there is such a stigma attached that many don’t want to admit it.
We are 3 of 5 for presidents in my lifetime, if that means anything… although one didn’t inhale. :-)

There was one crazy study a few years ago
That 5% of the US population under 21 has NEVER tried it.
Perhaps Nancy Reagan conducted it.

What a waste of the Judge’s time. LEGALIZE IT!

The NORML blog is two doors down on your left...
Now only 12,859 on the "Cubs Season Tickets Waiting List"...
Yeah
When you break a law, typically that’s what you do. I’m with you on the waste of time, but welcome to the judicial system.
"Hey! If the moon were made of ribs, wouldja eat it? I know I would!"
You don't have to see a Judge in Orange County.
I paid a $70 fine and went to an 8 hour class — kinda like traffic school. If you’re caught a 2nd time, then, you see the Judge
"I always tell the truth -- Even when I lie"
So what was the judge like when you went the 2nd time ?

Double rec'd.
3 grams? Jeeze, aim higher (hah!). I was out there with a buddy last weekend… he walked in to a dispensary, flashed his ’scrip, and walked out with a half ounce.
Dum spiro spero…

Best. Thing. Ever.
I save a lot of money on beers by doing that… smoke, grab a five dollar footlong or Bacci’s slice to bring in, and you don’t have to spend but a few bucks during the game. A lot more enjoyable than throwing down $7 a beer every couple of innings.
Dum spiro spero…

Apparently not
Hence the arrest which led to this thread in the first place.

He was cited...
…not jailed — like he would have been if it was alcohol
"I always tell the truth -- Even when I lie"
I think he was pulled over for speeding...
… and was cited for that sticky icky as a separate issue, much like he would have had it been discovered if he’d been walking on the same street.
Not that i generally condone smoking and driving. Biking on the other hand… that’s where it’s at.

More nonsense
Like the Geo story earlier this year, this is a non-story. Pot is like booze. It does not lead to harder drugs. It should be legalized and regulated – then we could make rational judgments about things that matter, such as how much is too much to drive without a DUI. There are actually people in prison for life for selling pot.
"When you're going through hell, keep going." - Winston Churchill
Pot IS like booze...
… except it won’t kill you, is easier to stop using, has less long term health risks, and has a wide range of medicinal uses.
A favorite of mine: How much alcohol does it take to kill a human? About 7 – 20 servings, depending on weight and rapidness of consumption. How much weed does it take to kill a human? About 100 pounds, dropped from a hight of 50 feet.
Dum spiro spero…

well
I meant approximately – LOL. I think that we are in agreement here.
"When you're going through hell, keep going." - Winston Churchill
Oh no doubt.
I got that you were trying to make the “harmless” point. I was just expanding. It is probably even LESS harmles to smoke than to drink.
Except for in the eyes of the law. And my dad. Crap…

UPDATE
Tiny Tim has struck (out) a deal and the charges have been dropped.
Catch my act on Twitter as @dat_cubfan_dave.
Furthering your metaphor, don't the charges have to be thrown to first base?

I'm disappointed in Tim.
Never carry your stash in your car. Rookie move.

This is the same guy
Who couldn’t play the 2008 All Star Game due to “Flu Like Symptoms” which basically reported in tons of places was due to him partying crazy the night before.
Well, he does play in San Francisco,
he’s just blending in with the locals.
Hey, it's a new century!

This is probably the only guy I would not care about doing this.
Considering I loved him since he committed to Wash U.
