[jon123spurs]

Still taking game 6 hard. Smh its over bud get over it.

[cd98]

To be honest, I think that Atlanta roster could drive a lot of people to the drink.

[BatManu20]

Well his tenure as HC is off to a great start...

True, tbh. They're either top 4 in East or a bottom dweller. Too unpredictable.

Just the old Pop remedy.

Absolutely disgusting.

Which would that be?

Bud's DUI or our stupid comments?

“As I spoke with him, I noticed that he had bloodshot and watery eyes and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath,” Trooper Johnathon Nelms wrote in his report.“I asked Mr. Budenholzer how much alcohol he had and he advised that he had one glass of wine to drink prior to driving,” Nelms said.

“I requested a breath test and Mr. Budenholzer refused the breath test by giving a verbal ‘No’,” Nelms said.

Nah, he has a connection in the front-office and this public embarrassment will hopefully teach him a lesson. How millionaires (or hundred thousand in Bud's case) can't afford to have a driver or a taxi cab available is perplexing?

That's what I thought too, but who knows. Here's what his attorney said:

[SpurPadre]

This would've never happened had he stayed...just not the Spurs way, lol. He's just having buyer's remorse now that it's sunk in that he no longer has a shot at an NBA Title.

I'll drink to coach Bud :toast

lol! that sucks.

[HI-FI]

:lmao
i just saw this on ESPN. had to come here of course to get the reaction.


damn, Bud was partying hard as fuck. I'm kind of embarrassed for him tbh. I'd still take him back, but not the best way to begin your career. ATL media won't be as kind as SA.

[silverblk mystix]

He did the right thing by refusing the test tbh...

His atty will get him off pretty easily.

His DUI of course.


You basement dwellers have nothing else to do but be Internet mafia so go right ahead.

"Pop Light"? More like "Bud Light"!! *rimshot*

[slick'81]

So he wasn't drunk maybe just stoned lol

[AnthonyM]

That's what I thought too, but who knows. Here's what his attorney said:

373157500318535680

Except the legal limit is .08

[spursfan1000]

lmao what if this happened to pop, imagine his drunk smart ass remarks lol

[ploto]

That's what I thought too, but who knows. Here's what his attorney said:

373157500318535680

I think he meant .01 but it does not matter. He did this after he was released on bond hours and hours later.

If you like to drink and drive, you might want to learn the laws of the state and the ramifications of refusing at the scene.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

For a conviction it certainly does matter. His license was fucked either way but now he has a good chance to beat the rap especially with the type of attorney he can afford.

[angel_luv]

Coach "Bud" indeed

For the win!

[Baam]

Sad that a bunch of alcoholic are running the Spurs org. And their alcohol problem has probably gotten worse after the Finals. It's good to know that Bud is fuckin up while working for another team but sadly RC and Pop are still there.

[hater]

:lmao Spurs

I don't blame Bud taking up on alcoholism after the game 6 performance by Manu :lol

[DMC]

I know lots of people who got arrested for DUI and beat the rap. Bud could, depends.

I have to think it was a typo and it was .01 vs .08. I'm guessing there will be some more clarification at some point.

[IknowU]

If he gets fired he comes straight back to SA anyway, not a big deal.

[elmanutres]

Can you imagine if josh Smith was still in atl

[lefty]

1 glass of wine?

Is Bud blaming Pop????

[GrandeDavid]

Idiotic drinking and driving. He probably wishes he could crawl shamefully back to Pop.

He'd have to if he couldn't walk.

What's more stupid? Drinking and driving, or insisting on Manu down the stretch?

[Sean Cagney]

I agree fully! I am not even rich at all but I always take a cab now or refuse to drive even after a drink or so. I learned my lesson years ago, no reason if you have that dough to not use it and get a safe ride.

[exstatic]

Absolutely disgusting.

So glad you're absolutely perfect.

[superbigtime]

Holy smokes, I would NEVER expect Bud to be arrested for a DUI. Wow. Pretty shocking. At least it was in the offseason. Just because he was arrested for DUI don't mean shit though. A cop can pull you over, smell the booze in the car, and from that point forward you're fucked. Doesn't mean you're drunk or were driving drunk. Innocent til proven guilty. Free coach Bud!

[superbigtime]

What's more stupid? Drinking and driving, or insisting on Manu down the stretch?

Post of the year.

[T Park]

So glad you're absolutely perfect.

I lknow not to drink and drive and to make such a. Choice. Have a friend killed by one then you can spread your bullshit about how it's ok.

[weeks]

What's more stupid? Drinking and driving, or insisting on Manu down the stretch?
I know you're being a little tongue in cheek, but since one just involves a meaningless athletic game and the other gets people (like my grandparents) killed, i'd say the former.

[dbreiden83080]

He refused the breath test because he only had one glass.. :lol

[Bill_Brasky]

of course there's people in here acting like he killed someone....

[Ice009]

If you've only had one drink, why would you refuse the breath test? Furthermore, why do you guys in the US get a choice on the breath test?

[Skull-1]

What's more stupid? Drinking and driving, or insisting on Manu down the stretch?

Even Spock would have trouble with this one.

Perhaps Manu-down-the-Stretch is what caused the DWI....

Chicken and the egg....

[Skull-1]

He refused the breath test because he only had one glass.. :lol

I would do it any way. One glass or none.

[Skull-1]

If you've only had one drink, why would you refuse the breath test? Furthermore, why do you guys in the US get a choice on the breath test?

because we aren't as big a pussies as you guys. We still have the slightest little bit of resistance to big government tyranny disguised as public safety. Pretty soon even looking at booze will get you a DWI. Watch.

[xmas1997]

What was his plea, no contest?

[superbigtime]

Always refuse.

[Bill_Brasky]

considering he's rich and connected, he'll pay a fine, get a slap on the wrist, and have no criminal record.

for anyone else, it's lots of classes, hard earned money that you need going to some congressman's relative, and not being allowed to drive in a society that doesn't offer safe, reliable public transportation.

Not sure but I'm sure part of it had to do with the workout with Wilkins; since he was going to workout for both teams, make it easy, and have both teams in same place.

Not driving while under the influence is NOT a liberty issue, it's a responsibility issue - it is each individual's responsibility not to endanger others by doing something that has been proven to be a major public safety hazard.

Speeding in a car is a major public health hazard. So is texting while driving. Drug abuse is a public health hazard. So is being too fat. But I'd be willing to bet that the majority of people here have been guilty of at least one of those.

I don't like it when people drink and drive. But all the judgmental bullshit here is laughable.

Being fat is a personal health hazard. If fat people somehow made other people sick by being near them, then it's a public health issue. I can't agree that drinking and driving can be filed under "whoever is without sin, cast the first stone". It's reckless endangerment of life in the very least. If anything people need to be more judgmental.

[tholdren]

Do what you want with yourself, don't force your drunken ass on others.
1. you can still be arrested/charged under legal limit
2. its safer than texting, which MANY people do, but penalty is life altering for dui but accepted for "distracted driving"
3. im a hard core supporter of logic - drinking is subjective in terms of affects on body i.e. a person could drink 3 and drive better than a person who drinks 2. if neither cause an accident or harm to anyone then they should be fine, or have a zero tolerance policy

Road safety data chalks up an alcohol related crash to mean that if I was a DD and you were my passenger (who consumed alcohol) and I had an accident it would be alcohol related. To use statistics blindly, like you just did, is erroneous. Again, look at the non-profit behind the laws enacted in the US. Then study the data. Don't just cite like we do Surstalk numbers.
