Then again . . .

You have to pay attention to the Lady Vols' defense on the driving Vanderbilt player at the end of the clip to really appreciate the sequence.

The "0-0" score complements the package (although it is early in the game).

Looks like 11U rec league

1) Explains why Stephanie White is doing color for games this season.
2) Pat cannot be thrilled wherever she's watching. And Kellie Harper needs better talent.

Hope I'm wrong, but I just don't think Kellie is going to bring those recruits in. I've always admired her, though.

Grandpa's not going to be happy with that. I'm curious though is it routine to charge passengers with aiding and abetting a DWI?

Mom is also Assistant AD at Duke. And Grandson is a scholarship athlete. With career earnings in excess of $100 million, you'd think Mike could pay for his grandson to go to college.

Vehicle belonged to Banchero. Story didn't clarify whether or not he was intoxicated. The guess here is either he was and it wasn't disclosed in the story, or he wasn't and was ignorant enough to let someone who was drive his vehicle. Bad move either way.

Wow. What a stupid mess. Made, IMO, even dumber when you consider that A) in the era of ride share, how difficult is it to make arrangements not to put yourself in that situation and B) given that the family isn't exactly scrambling to find breakfast in the morning, affordability is neither an issue nor an excuse.

That makes sense. Thanks.

Also, there's no universe where Mike is obligated to pay for his grandson's education. I don't know if the kid can play or not, but he started as a walk on and they said he earned a scholarship. It is what it is.

What is it Shaq tells his kids?

"We're not rich. I'm rich."

Maybe Mike's family is different but I don't know a grandparent that wouldn't gladly and happily pay for their grandchildren's education if they could. One of the reasons middle class people work hard and accumulate some wealth is to pay for education and help their family.

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol does it almost as a matter of course as long as the conditions are met. What situations qualify for aid and abet DWI? Well that's a hot mess. But the one thing that's clear from the case law in the state is that if you turn over your vehicle to someone else to drive and you know, or reasonably should know, they are drunk then you can be convicted of aid and abet DWI. Odds of getting charged and/or convicted go way up when you're also the passenger. As Sam pointed out, that seems to be the case here.

Law enforcement agencies other than the SHP are much less likely to charge aid and abet, but that's partly because they don't tend to get as much training on DWI or as much pressure to get convictions.

Interestingly, aid and abet DWI is basically the same as DWI as far as the law is concerned. You get all the same punishments, including all the license restrictions and insurance points, the same as if you were the driver.

It doesn't matter if he was intoxicated. It only matters if he knew, or had reason to know, that K's grandson was drunk and he gave him his keys.

Most DA's offices in the Triangle will not negotiate on a DWI itself - they'll negotiate away associated charges - and it's really common to see aid and abet charges get dismissed if the driver pleads guilty without a trial. Usually that's strong incentive because a ton of these A&A DWI cases are spouses, girlfriends/boyfriends, etc. Obviously a different relationship here, but still, if the trooper did a half decent job on the scene then I'd expect Savarino to take this charge and Banchero to get his dismissed.

I wonder if Banchero gave the car to Savarino because he was the less drunk of the two?
