    Meh...

    I remember my freshman year of college. My friends and I did things just as dumb (thank goodness we didn't get caught). I'll give him a pass.

    The media is questioning him like he's in court. F*** them. It didn't even say he was drinking, but "encouraged" someone to drive while they were drinking. Bs charge and not even worth bringing up. "Did you learn from this?" "Do you have any regrets? I can't stand people like them. They've probably done way worse in college.

    Also everyone loves his videos where he gets high and rambles about everything in his boat.

    Much ado about nothing.

    This will not affect his draft position at all.

    But getting a drunk to drive you anywhere is stupid AF.

    It won't be held against him, nor should it.

    But not all teenagers make bad decisions.

    Paolo made the other kid drive because Paolo has 14 traffic warrants picked up when he stole tractors in his pre-teen years. He doesn't even have a license and intends on using his wealth and status to never drive himself anywhere again.
