What a jerk
What can you say about Eddie Griffin? Consider this:
Are shame and embarrassment enough of a punishment? Probably not. But: An NBA player, albeit a highly mediocre one, masturbating to porn while driving drunk? He'll get his day(s) in court, but I wonder how this will play in the locker room.
The Star Tribune has more here and here.
On March 30, Minnesota Timberwolves center Eddie Griffin was drunk and masturbating when he crashed his luxury SUV into a parked Suburban outside a store in Minneapolis, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by the man whose Suburban was hit in the crash...
Several of the 911 callers that night said Griffin was drunk. One witness said Griffin told him he was watching pornography in a DVD player mounted on the dashboard of his Cadillac Escalade SUV when he struck a Chevy Suburban parked on University Avenue Southeast.

What are the odds he'd plead guilty just to avoid the negative press a trial would give? Imagine seeing the soundbite: "Timberwolves player in drunken crash. Reason? Dashboard Porn"
