Over the weekend Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was arrested for driving under the influence in Oakland. This comes on the heels of new New York Knicks point guard Jason Kidd being arrested for the same crime over the weekend.

Now, obviously athletes aren't the only people in the world who drive drunk and get caught for it. But when you have the kind of money that Jason Kidd and Marshawn Lynch do (Lynch is making $4 million in 2012) why don't you consider investing in a cab. You can even call them before you go out to make sure you get picked up. It's this kind of myopia that gives athletes a bad name. Lynch is just the latest to make himself a victim of it.
