"We are disappointed that Al used poor judgment last night. Thankfully, nobody was injured," David Kahn, the team's president for basketball operations, said in a statement. "We believe it is appropriate for Al to be suspended for the next two games without pay."

That's a penalty that will cost Jefferson, the Wolves' highest-paid player who earns $12 million in the second season of a five-year, $65 million contract, roughly $293,000 in lost wages.

Pocket change for these guys.... whistle

There you go. And friends ask why don't you follow pro sports?

Pathetic morals and sportsmanship.

Thugs and crybabies, i would rather try to catch fish with good people and be unsuccessful than watch that c**p.

Geesh. Some pro athletes always seem to amaze me. Why couldn't he call one of his "homeboys" to pick him up. If you don't wanna leave the car. Pay someone to drive it home for you and give them some change for a cab ride home. Yes, he may lose some "street cred" but hey, it's not like the guy can't afford it. Hopefully he's not let off and it's not another one of these cases where athletes are somehow above the long arm of the law.

Well we have all made mistakes and his is going to cost him at least $293,000......he admitted that he made a poor choice and is not denying anything.......he made a mistake and is facing it straight on accepting the consiquences...Big Al seams to be a good guy but that night made a poor choice and at least he is being taught a lesson with out anybody getting hurt!!

One of the nicest guys in the NBA a true gentlemen. I don't blame you guys for being brainwashed into thinking all athletes and particularly NBA players are all thugs and gangsters though. I find it kind of funny actually.

GASP a person got a DWI....I'm shocked! LOL

there are alot of thugs in life period but to list a group as a whole as thugs is pretty poor especially for the guys that are out doing good......I am sure guys like Kevin Love, Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Brian Cardinal, Al Jefferson and others like this are big thugs!! Yeah he made a mistake but who of us haven't whether you got caught or not??? Alot of these guys maybe take there situation for granted but they are human still and are bound to make mistakes...

It's hard to get excited for the NBA when our franchise has been driven into the ground by the owners and management, but if you look around the rest of the league there are teams and players that are fun to watch and put a good product on the floor. I am pretty casual until the playoffs start, then I'll watch more games until I catch the entire Finals....if we had a good team each year and I had to catch each game I would miss out on all the great outdoor activities in the state come spring time: turkey hunting, sturgeon and cat fishing, morel hunting, walleye opener, etc.

Like others have said, lots of people out there have done the same thing as Jefferson. Hopefully Al learned from it, and I don't say that lightly. He makes more money in 1 night of work than I will make in 4 years!

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
