Erick Blasco Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Former NBA and Fab Five standout Jalen Rose, who currently works for ESPN as an analyst, said in a statement Wednesday that his blood alcohol content was above the legal limit earlier this month when his car went off an icy Detroit-area road and he was issued a citation for drunken driving. "On March 11th, I was driving to my home when I was involved in a single vehicle automobile accident," Rose said in a statement. "I voluntarily submitted to blood alcohol screening because I was confident it was safe for me to drive. http://a.espncdn.com/i/columnists/rose_jalen_m.jpg Rose "Although I was not feeling impaired, the results of these tests indicate that my blood alcohol level was above the legal limit. "I regret the decision to drive home that evening and am grateful that no one was hurt in the accident. I apologize to my family, my employer and each and every one of my supporters for my lapse in judgment. I am particularly sorry for disappointing those who trust me to serve as a role model for young people. http://sports.espn.g...tory?id=6274261 Please fire him, please fire him, please fire him...

AboveLegit Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 they need to get Steven A. back on ESPN.Oh God..please no. As for Rose, I don't particularly hate him, but the fact that he still thinks all black players from Duke are Uncle Toms just shows how stupid he still is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Truth Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Former NBA player and Fab Five member Jalen Rose was suspended indefinitely by ESPN after reports surfaced that Rose had been arrested for drunk driving. According to ESPN, Rose was being sent to the bench for not reporting the incident to the network. Rose allegedly failed a blood-alcohol test after his truck crashed in Bloomfield, Michigan on March 11. The incident didn’t get to ESPN until a Detroit station contacted the network to get more details for their own story. “Jalen has accepted full responsibility for his actions. Both parties are taking this very seriously, and as a result, we’ve agreed that he will not be on our air while he addresses this situation,” ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said in an e-mail to USA Today. The Poynter Institute Review Project Blog, a partnership between ESPN and the Poynter Institute, cited Rose for allowing a competitor to tell the story before ESPN. The group serves to provide an independent examination of all of ESPN’s media outlets. The Poynter folks seemed to feel that Roses’ actions compromise ESPN by making it appear that they were working to cover it up.http://thyblackman.com/2011/04/03/dr-boyce-jalen-rose-deserves-another-chance-with-espn/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Truth Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Good info.All the while, Rose should also learn from the old Chinese saying that “The fattest pig always gets slaughtered.” This means that if a man chooses to stand out front and say things that people don’t want to hear, he has to keep his “game tight” and not give his enemies an opportunity to destroy him. By engaging in irresponsible behavior, Jalen is opening the door for others to ruin his reputation, for haters are always watching when you try to do the right thing.hilarious and true at the same time lol. I enjoyed this article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
