Milloy arrest is shocking

Players in the locker room didn’t want to discuss Lawyer Milloy’s arrest for driving under the influence in Gwinnett County.

He was also charged with speeding. With no police report filed yet, the details are still kind of sketchy at this point.

But about the only place you’re leaving from at that time of the morning is a club or the Waffle House after the club. Don’t know if Milloy is a big Waffle House guy or not.

The county’s website says he was arrested at 4:35 a.m. and a public information officer told me that he was bonded out at 9:48 a.m.

So “Law Dog” had about five hours to figure things out.

He’s one of the unquestioned leaders of this young team.

Milloy has never been in trouble with the law to our knowledge in New England or Buffalo. Other than thinking Bill Belichick was a crook for waiving him.

So perhaps he went out on the town and didn’t hire a driver.

Coach Mike Smith said the team would handle the matter internally. (Buzz words for hefty fine, likely).

Given the Falcons past problems - do we need to enumerate them here? - the team is hyper sensitive about these legal situations.

What should the Falcons do to Milloy? Fine him? Make him runs the Georgia Dome stairs? Hire a driver next time?
