Female athletes keep saying they want to be treated just like the men ... let's see if she gets treated with kid gloves or if she serves some time.

[get real]

she will be treated just like any other person. First time offender..classes and some probation.
what the heck is extreme DUI...is that a real legal term in AZ..
Serve time Husky ... tell me anyone you know that has for a 1st time DUI or DWI.

What kind of crappy schooling taught you to judge another university based on the actions of a few athletes?

[get real 2]

OMG,the Mercury can't announce a course of action until it has all the facts?... Aren't these facts: that she got arrested and she blew a .17? And it's her third arrest? Those seem like facts. She needs serious help, not a fat paycheck and role-model status.

[get real 2]

Oops. Not her third arrest, sorry, three charges.

I think it's kinda like "double secret probation"...only it involves freakishly skilled athletic women that look like Beagles...

[orionsgirl]

I do not see where in the article it mentions that this is her third arrest. Do I hear a little jealousy in some of these remarks? Sounds like it to me. Some people have, lots don't.

[yeah]

hey we all make mistakes... I'm sure most of the people on here that post have at least one DUI in their life. you guys sound like your on a witch hunt here. Newstimes has the best filter out there (probally so you guys who have no life don't rag on the UCONN women.) try to say f r i e d c h i c k e n on here without the spaces...

Yeahhhh - we all make mistakes, but "most people" don't have a DUI.

Your tax dollars at work - the pride of U Conn.

2. Most of the hijackers were trained on U.S. military bases.
3.bush knew or the impending attacks on America. He did nothing to warn the american people because he needed this was on terrorism.
4. Most of the 9-11 hijackers were issued visas for "national security purposes" aka they were CIA "assets"

I've heard that the Bin Laden family is related to the Osmand family, and that Osama, and Donnie and Marie are third Cousins.

And, the CIA was very active in promoting the Donnie & Marie show because it planted subliminal messages related to the worship of Muhammed.

This was at the time George 41 was the CIA Director. George 41 then pulled the trigger on Osama's plot for 9-11 so George 43 could look like a hero.

Beware of the new world order!!

And, Dianna T., please stay off the sauce.

When are these drug abusers going to get the message that they are a menace to society? Lets hope it's before they add to the total of deaths they cause on the roads. Want to scare yourself? Put "alcohol brain damage" in your browser and read what that drug does to people before you defend alcohol use.

Man I was really hoping they would find a gun under the seat, and then it would be just like the NBA

[Milfordity]

I hope she doesn't get too drunk and have intercourse with random guys like alot of nba play do. Having a baby at this point would ruin her carreer...unless she wanted her offspring to play basketball, then she would have all the time in the world to teach them.
