Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) Dude posted pictures on his Instagram of him drinking alcohol (mimosas) this morning....I don't think this dude is the brightest bulb in the drawer and/or has a serious problem with alcohol. "Just got a DWI so let's post pictures of myself drinking for breakfast/brunch!" https://x.com/baseballnerdguy/status/1812890566633386108 Edited July 15 by Vikes_Bolts1228 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That suggests that the post was from yesterday. Regardless, it doesn't send a great message. Athletes and other celebrities in the public eye really need to learn to keep their private lives private and off social media. People who post pictures of their food and drinks on social media drive me crazy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have empathy that he is an alcoholic, but that never excuses anything you do under the influence of it. 26 minutes ago, SemperFeist said: No one is learning the truth about anyone off of social media. While this is true, I have been around 100's of alcoholics over the years, and I've heard many stories from all walks of life. The amount of times I have heard people falling asleep at the wheel because of alcohol is plenty. It is a tell-tale sign, and I'm not sure I know anyone who was sober (not addicted, this doesn't count social drinking once in a while) doing so. So while you are right that we don't know for sure, it is a very educated guess. Addison posted that picture after getting arrested. 22 hours ago at the time of posting would have been on Saturday (I think). He was arrested Friday night, if I recall. 25 minutes ago, vike daddy said: first of all, i see no pic of him drinking alcohol. where is he in the picture? also, do we know this is his account, and not a fake? It's his. You can also see his leg at the bottom of the picture. He must have taken it before enjoying himself. I hope Addison gets the help he needs and can pull a Jared Allen- type recovery. It can be done. Edited July 15 by AP_allday2869 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It literally says it's his verified account right at the top. And you don't see the Mimosa in the glass right in front of him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlee Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I’m more surprised that he did this so soon after Jackson passed away. It just doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make sense under even normal circumstances. Not sure what the policing discussion is about but w/e. This has to be strike 2 for the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is bad optics as you said, how does Addison face his teammates after a terrible decision like that? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addison certainly knew the circumstances of his death. he also certainly knew of his own driving problems of a year ago and his promise not to do anything stupid like that again. so then he did something even more stupid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikesfan89 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Is it likely that he'll be suspended by the team or is any suspension more likely to come from the league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
