COLES THINKS HE HAS A LICENSE TO DRIVE, FAST
Posted by Mike Florio on September 2, 2008, 5:31 p.m.

Packers defensive tackle Colin Cole is learning that being a professional football player isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

For starters, it doesn’t provide a license to drive 88 miles per hour in a 65-mph zone.

Coles recently was pulled over by Deputy Aaron Rauls, who explained in his report that Coles thought he had immunity in that regard.

“He also wanted me to have a card of some sort that ID’d him with the NFL,” Rauls wrote. “I said I only needed his [driver’s license].”

Coles then told Deputy Rauls that he ”gets stopped all the time in Green Bay and doesn’t get a ticket, because he plays for the Green Bay Packers.”

Rauls explained in response that he doesn’t give out warning for 88 in a 65.

We’re still wondering what kind of card Coles was referring to, and whether it was made by Topps, Fleer, or Upper Deck.

i know we have big problems on the d-line, but cut his ass right now.

That's a bit extreme Red. It is a funny story. Admit to a cop you get pulled over all the time and never get a ticket?

i think the idea that he thinks he's above the law because he plays pro football is what really gets me

and he admitted it

just stupid

He probably isn't alone and if what he says in Green Bay is true he is above the law there so I guess he got it into his head that logically it should apply all across Wisconsin!

Obviously the guy needs to learn when to shut his mouth but cut him for speeding and not knowing when to shut up? Chill Red.

Cole is an idiot.

There's only one man who is above the law:

Big deal. So, he got a speeding ticket and tried to weasel out of it. I'm sure there is nobody here that was caught speeding and tried to weasel out of it (whether it was to lie about how fast you were really going, trying to be flirtatious, overly polite, etc.).

Personally, I've been pulled over for speeding four times, and I've tried four different approaches. The first was to act like I didn't think I speeding. The second was to act like that I didn't know what the speed limit was. The third was to flirt (got pulled over in my Jeep Wrangler by a younger, relatively attractive female cop in the middle of nowhere in North Dakota). I didn't get out of any of those. The other one, I didn't try anything. Just super polite (which I always am to the cops). Of course, that's the one I got out of.

I'd love to hear what Skin and Harlan do to get out of speeding tickets....

At any point did you admit you'd been pulled over many times and never recieved a ticket to those cops?

It's a funny story, I agree we all try and weasel out. But Cole was kind of a moron about it and that's what's funny.

Hey, it's a speeding ticket so no big deal, although 88 might be pushing it a bit.

I do NOT want to know.

I mean that.

maybe if cole whipped out one of his man boobs he could have gotten out of it

and i would have more respect for him

[highlander]

Could you imagine the crap he is getting in the locker room.

Good. It's what he gets for being a doofus.
