    I'm sure he's scheduled to have a 50th Anniversary tribute to him. Maybe they can double that as an intervention with Rudy, Lucas, Wiggins, Lloyd and Eddie Griffin's mom, and whatever immediate family he has left that cares about him

    Dude really needs some major help. Prayers will be lifted up for him but mainly his family. I'm pretty sure it's very rough on them.

    The irony at Max living out a much rougher lifestyle but looking like he found the fountain of youth.

    DWIs should carry a much heavier penalty. You are potentially using a 2-3000lbs piece of metal weapon going at high speeds in a wreckless fashion and endagering innocent public.

    10yr license suspension and must prove alcohol free for 1yr prior to taking more stringent reinstatement exam.
    2nd offense is lifetime ban and criminal charges.

    Choosing to drink is one thing.
    Risking other peoples lives should be as discouraged as possible imo.

    Out on bond, Francis arrested for burglary

    Former Houston Rocket Steve Francis is facing a burglary charge in Manatee County, Florida, police said. Francis was arrested on a DWI charge in Houston Sunday.

    Francis is now facing extradition on the charge, according to police documents.

    He faces one charge of DWI and one charge of retaliation in Houston. He bonded out of jail over the weekend, but is now back in police custody on the Florida charge, police said.​

    Weirder

    Francis then left the bar and got into the woman's vehicle, according to reports. Once inside the car, Francis took numerous items, including a makeup pouch, a wallet and its contents, a gold wedding ring, a gold diamond band, earrings, press credentials and $100 in cash, according to court documents. The total amount of stolen property was estimated at $7,252, according to reports.

    Francis then bagged up the items and left the bar in a vehicle with another man who is yet to be identified, police said.

    Two days later, Francis went to the Bradenton Police Department carrying a clear plastic bag with numerous items, police said. He threw the bag on the ground and said, "I just robbed somebody, take me to jail. I'm turning myself in," according to court documents.

    An officer was not able to locate any reported crimes at the time, so he allowed Francis to leave, according to reports.

    He looks a tad better than in those pics with a swollen face at the end of his career.
