Clipper Clipped for Driving Drunk

Posted Apr 6th 2009 11:04AM

It's only getting worse for the Los Angeles Clippers ... one of their alleged "stars" was busted for DUI early this morning.

Hours after the Clip Squad went down to the Lakers last night, Clipper power forward Zach Randolph was pulled over by California Highway Patrol officers on the 405 Freeway when they spotted Randolph's white Rolls Royce weaving in and out of his lane at around 2:25 AM.

Cops say when they approached the car, they "noticed an odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from within the vehicle" and proceeded to perform some field tests on the 6'9," 255 pound 27-year-old. Randolph failed those and was arrested for DUI.

Randolph, who already has a previous DUI bust under his belt, is currently behind bars -- being held without bail.

A spokesman for the Clippers tells us, "We'll reserve comment until we've had an opportunity to review the facts."

UPDATE: Randolph was finally released from jail about 30 minutes ago.
A third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. A second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. A first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.

A quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself.

Portland was CRAZY for trading this guy!  They could have kept him, been irrelevant, and had him embarrass the franchise!

What I don't get is how the Clippers were able to pry the guy away from the Knicks.  In the battle for irrelevant, Randolph is a key component.

Perhaps the Knicks thought they had enough bums to carry them to the title with Curry and James.

Knick's motive = 2010
It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave.  Keep on thinking free.
