Interesting way to get a DUI.

quote:

Free-agent NFL QB Tyler Thigpen was arrested early Sunday morning in Myrtle Beach, S.C., and charged with DUI. Police claim that Thigpen's car sat in a Wendy's drive-thru for 20 minutes, with him asleep at the wheel.

According to the police report obtained by the Sun News, officers needed several minutes to awaken Thigpen, who was slumped in the driver's seat of his black Cadillac SUV. When he awoke, the report claims, Thigpen didn't know where he was or how he got there.

The report says Thigpen smelled of alcohol, but told cops he hadn't been drinking. He refused sobriety tests at the scene, and a breathalyzer test back at the police station.

Thigpen was booked on a DUI charge and bonded out on Sunday afternoon.

Smooth.

I'd be willing to bet opiates were involved, too.

He better wake up or he'll miss that call from the Cardinals.

I blame fast food late night drive through; they always take forever hoping you'll just drive away. Thigpen showed some resilience and determination here.

I bet his last words before falling asleep are, "Well I'll wait while you finish cleaning the frosty machine then."

When does "free agent" change to "ex" NFL QB?

Feel like we need a football shot of Thigpen.

When is the last time he was in the league? I had almost completely forgotten about him.

I once had to pull up in front after ordering. And I fell asleep in front of BK with my son asleep in the back.

I hadn't had anything to drink, it was just late and BK took forever.

Back in college I almost feel asleep at a Wendy's waiting on my damn food late night.

The Taco Bell across the street from campus would have this happen every weekend.

Minus the black Cadillac part, this whole story is frat as shite.
