By now, certainly, you are aware of J.J. Redick’s DUI arrest. In fact, that may be the reason that you galloped around the office this morning, high-fiving everybody in your path. I wanted to mention it, though certainly no one’s going to have a better time with it than Deadspin had today.

The particulars: Redick spotted a checkpoint, and made an illegal U-turn to avoid it. He blew a 0.11, and the leagl limit is .08. That’s not Bob Probert territory or anything, but it’s drunk.

What amazes me is how quickly Duke University sprung into action. If you’re a college athlete, and you’re going to get a DUI… my hope for you is that you’re a Duke basketball player. Redick’s official statement was issued through Duke. And then Coach Mike Krzyzewski himself sprung into action, stopping himself just a second before he began comparing Redick to Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.:

“J.J. knows he made a mistake and regrets it. He represented the very best in college athletics and exhibited outstanding character at Duke the last four years. He is and will continue to be a credit to the Duke basketball family. As his friend and his coach, he has my total support.”

I’d imagine that the private conversation between Krzyzewski and his best pal Redick went a little differently, including a quote something like, “Hey asshole, I armed you for life, not for becoming the next Vin Baker. Who do I look like, Eddie fucking Sutton?”

Anyway, I’m not quite the Redick-hater that many, many, many, many, many, many others are… but I certainly don’t want to stand in the way of your enjoyment of this. Enjoy…
