Sacramento Kings owner George Maloof was arrested for a DUI over the weekend. Maloof was driving home from a wedding and was pulled over while turning into his driveway. He was just over the legal limit, with a blood alcohol level of .086. Maloof told the Sacramento Bee, “I didn’t feel I was intoxicated.”
The owner of the Kings and Las Vegas Palms Casino and Hotel said he didn’t post bail and didn’t want to call anyone and was released from jail Sunday morning.
It seems like the Sacramento Kings need to have a drivers training education class. Back in May, Kings Tyreke Evans, the NBA Rookie of the Year, was pulled over for driving his Mercedes 130 MPH. Evans was charged with reckless driving.
Maloof was driving back from the wedding with his assistant. The assistant asked Maloof to drive (let’s see if she keeps her job… but there is always a career in jersey chasing)!
On Saturday, during Virgina Tech’s game against Central Michigan, Virgina Tech junior offensive guard Greg Nosal lost the tip of his finger but refused to leave the game. The incident happened when Nosal’s finger was jammed in between two helmets. Nosal’s pinky finger was severed halfway down the nail. The training staff recovered Nosal’s missing finger tip in his glove. Nosal refused to leave the game and continued playing. Good thing Virgina Tech didn’t lose, the Hokie’s beat Central Michigan 45-21.
