Driving w/suspended license

[steelerdude15]

I'm not too worried about this, but I do have some questions for him. Why was his license suspended in the first place? Why didn't he use better judgement and use public transportation or have someone give him a ride? I hope we find out more regarding this.

My guess is that it was suspended because of the expired tags plus the gazillion parking tickets. Pay the fine and move on.

Exactly!!

[steelerdude15]

According to a Miami radio station, his license was suspended for failing to pay $1,012.20 in traffic citations. He should have never let it get to that point since he can easily pay for the citations, but if I were him, I'd pay those citations off immediately.

More than parking tickets

One of the tickets shows Burns was driving 130 mph in a 60 mph speed zone. :nono:

Ten Best Narcotic Offenders in NFL History

10 Bam Morris

Bam Morris was fresh into a promising NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers when, in 1996, he was arrested with six pounds of pot in his car (http://www.cbc.ca/sports/story/2000/04/14/morris000414.html). He plead guilty to possession and received probation, but in 1998 he was sentenced to 10 years for parole violation.


His attorney worked hard for a plea bargain and he was out in 89 days, but Bam wasn’t done. In 2000 he was on the road to recovery with a little help from his friends once again. The FBI arrested Morris in his home and charged him with conspiracy to distrubte 100 kilograms or more of marijuana.

He makes enough $ where he can pay somebody to manage his bills. C'mon man, there's no excuse and no cure for stupid.

Bam Morris shouldve been a Cowboy. Him and Nate Newton could've started a drug trafficking empire.

The guy hasn't even proven himself on the field, but has proven himself to be an idiot off the field.

I fully expect more moronic issues with this guy during his career.

I don't understand how so many NFL players do stupid crap.

Because, they're coddled. Really. Antonio Gates got caught for drunk driving, but the CHP officer was a Chargers fan; so, instead of giving him a DUI, the officer gave him a ride home.

That reminds me me of a story...

My brother was working at Torrey Pines State Park, when a powder blue Bentley pulls in. The driver (Gates) tells my brother to open up the gates; my brothers asks for the $6.00 parking fee... to which, Gates replies: "Don't you know who I am!?!" My brother pulls out/puts on his Steelers cap and responds: "Yeah... you're the guy who's going to pay $6.00." :chuckle:

[Mojouw]

Because most of them are under 26 and haven't heard the word "no" since they were 14.

[86WARD]

I used to work in the PR department for a Professional Sports franchise and Rich Gannon's brother called looking for special treatment and tickets and he made sure it was known he was Rich Gannon's brother, several times. Even though I knew exactly who Rich Gannon was and I believe he was also on one of my fantasy teams at the time, I proceeded to apologize to him and tell him I didn't know who he was talking about and that we didn't have a Rich Gannon. I could tell he was getting furious...lol.

Sounds like your brother was quite the Gateskeeper. :wink02:

He needs to grow up and not act like he is entitled to everything

Well, he does sleep above the covers... FOUR FEET above the covers. :lol:

[Craic]

Stupid and childish, but that's about it. You're making a lot of money, now, Artie. Grow up and pay your fines and tickets. In the big scheme, however, this is very minor.

[Steeldude]

Well, he does sleep above the covers... FOUR FEET above the covers. :lol:

I wonder how many didn't get that.

Tell me about it. I was talking about the movie The Longest Yard at work and then some of the young employees started going about Adam Sandler I informed them to watch the original. The re-make is a disaster.

Ten bucks says they'll probably hate the original, which is an absolute classic. I refused to watch the remake.

I actually saw that in the theater. Big Kristen Wiig fan. I have no idea why that movie was related to The GhostBusters. It was built completely on physical, slap stick humor, and McCarthy's loud, crudeness. I can't tell you one laugh out loud scene. I actually had hope that it might be decent considering the cast. I found it to be a complete waste of time. GhostBusters2 was a masterpiece by comparison.

not certain if it is accurate or not but read somewhere driving 130MPH got him the bulk of the fines and the suspension ....


will dig around a bit and see if I can validate that

How hard can it be to pay your traffic citations and then STOP GETTING THEM? Geesh, these guys are so damn dumb.

Yes indeed I think that's true.

So on that note I agree with you.

Steelers CB Artie Burns told ESPN he spent a few hours in jail for his driving with a suspended license charge in June, but he calls it a misunderstanding because he was still in the process of switching his paperwork and insurance to Pennsylvania, where he's a full-time resident. Miami Beach police does a lot of traffic checks at night time, he said. "Wrong place, wrong time," said Burns, who's from Miami.
