| Re: Briggs Lamborghini found damaged -Update- NBC 5 in Chicago is reporting that Bears linebacker Lance Briggs went to at least two Chicago nightclubs Sunday night before crashing and abandoning his Lamborghini early Monday morning. The station does not report whether Briggs was seen drinking alcohol. The TV station also reports that yesterday was for from the first time Briggs got a blemish on his driving record. Briggs' California driver's license was suspended for a year in 2005 for speeding and negligence, and he had three speeding tickets in Illinois in 2004. For crashing his Lamborghini Murcielago and leaving it on the expressway around 3 a.m. Monday, Briggs has been charged with one count of leaving the scene of an accident and given two traffic citations, for improper lane usage and failure to give immediate notice of an accident. Bears coach Lovie Smith got mad yesterday when reporters asked him if alcohol was involved in the crash. ProFootballTalk.com -- The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet"How did we get to that?" Smith asked. "We have a one-car accident, and now alcohol is involved? I think that's stretching it a little bit." |
