Nobody on this board takes you seriously, so I'm not going to take this post seriously. You're like the village idiot here who thinks he's cool, but in reality, nobody really respects you at all. Show me an adult who drives to Jets games on a regular basis, and I'll show you someone who has drank and drove.
All I'm going to say is this: If you criticize someone's idea, and they tell you that what you are criticizing is something other than what they meant... and if you then think it's reasonable to go on to repeatedly tell them, no, you know what they originally meant better than they do, despite their attempts to clarify... then I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you except to once again say that you have misunderstood me (and not due to deceitful or disingenuous behavior of my own... please). You are - and have been - arguing with me over beliefs I don't hold (i.e. "condemning" people for discussing this).

Well, when you are old enough to get off your skateboard and are old enough to drive, maybe you would have learned a lesson from this.
Actually, if the said establishment had such disdain for leyritz and recognized him as being an abuser of alcohol, they are liable. It is Illegal in the State of Florida to serve anyone who is underage, drunk, or known to be a an alcoholic. and with some of those quotes, they all accuse Jim of being 2 of the 3. If the bartenders or cops who frequented there knew him as being such a person, they have the responsibility of stepping in. After all, the bartender and management of that establishment served him. I know we all need personal responsibility, but if he frequently got obnoxious and drunk at that establishment the bartender and management are liable for overserving him. "I can't tell you how many times he was escorted out of the bar by the cops because that's how much of a drunk he is," said Ingrid Mahabir, a waitress at the Original Steakhouse and Sports Theater. Ummm..then stop serving him A bartender there, who recalled both herself and Veitch serving Leyritz drinks in the past, said, "He's a known drunk around here." And as a Florida bartender you have to be certified in knowing the law...Known "drunks" or alcoholics? Well serving them is a violation of Florida law. ... Mahabir said her bar is a hangout for off-duty cops, who sometimes escorted Leyritz out after he over-imbibed, and who told stories about him haughtily saying, "Don't you know who I am?" when they pulled him over for traffic violations. Where did they escort him? To his car?
Leyritz just sounds like a pretty sick person. Fame and money can do real harm for people with addictions.
GM, I thought the same when I read that article. They're admitting liability. Pretty sure we have a similar law in NYC and a lot of places have laws about not serving drunks. Obviously illegal everywhere to serve someone who is underage.
They just opened the door for a huge lawsuit from the victims family. plus, the bartender and manager could be charged.
Leyritz charged with an additional count of manslaughter after toxicology tests show that his BAC was almost twice the legal limit. http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-spleyritz175540955jan17,0,2910205.story

Leyritz is a sack of shit who needs to assume responsibility for what he did. he is obsessed with trying to prove being drunk was not the cause of the accident and there was nothing that could have been done to avoid it. I guess he would have run the red light sober, too. sorry, Jim, if that's the case, there is something that could have been done to avoid it -- you shouldn't have been driving in the first place, drunk or sober, because apparently, by the ramifications of your own defense, you lack the ability to drive. but that doesn't absolve you for getting behind the wheel and killing someone.
