I’ve always been partial to David Boston because I had him on my fantasy team back in ‘01 and because the guy has his stool samples analyzed during training camp. That’s gotta count for something right? Well, you knew he was a body-building freak, getting penalized for violating the league’s steroids policy in ‘04. And last night, he was busted for DUI.
Boston, 29, was found passed out behind the wheel of a dark red Range Rover in the southbound lanes of 49th Street and Park Blvd around 7:30 p.m., Pinellas Park police Capt. Sandy Forseth said in a statement. The SUV had been in drive. An investigating officer awoke Boston and told him to put the vehicle in park.
After conducting a field sobriety test, an officer deemed probable cause to charge Boston with driving under the influence of a controlled substance or alcohol, according to the statement.
…
Boston was taken to the Pinellas County Jail breath testing facility around 8:30 p.m. He blew triple zeros, Forseth said. The results of a urine screening are pending.
Triple zeros? Like I said, what exactly is he on? Sad thing is, I was just reading on Rotoworld hours ago, that Boston had moved ahead of Maurice Stovall to the starting flanker spot. And now … he may have pissed it all away.

I can drink more before breakfast than David Boston can all day.
Once, after partying at the University of Vermont and getting busted by the 5-0, I blew 3 zeroes. I thought I was unique. Damn you, David Boston…
Hey tecmo_bowl_bo…
We don’t wanna know about your frat house adventures…. LOL
As soon as he left OSU here in Columbus, he inflated overnight it seemed like. It’s sad.
I really like your site. I have linked you and will be back often. If you could do the same for my NFL Nosebleeds site (http://thenosebleedsblog.blogspot.com) it would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work.
i am not as stink as you drunk i am
As far as the testing goes, I can’t believe he was arrested based on those. And Boston is right, you cannot be forced to take a field sobriety test…but they can compel you to take a breathalizer/blood test which Boston volunteered for. At one point doesn’t the officer say ‘you have the right to take a field sobriety test required by law, it’s what your license says’ –where does he get that from? I’ve never heard of such a thing.
IMHO, there’s more damning evidence about the cop screwing up or lying than Boston walking the line, which he did ok, touching his nose which he did ok, stand there for 30+ seconds on one foot in which he wavered slightly(but who wouldn’t even when sober?) and saying the alphabet in that odd manner where it sounded fine except I think he misspoke on the letters U/W. We see these tests on TV all the time and actual drunks have problems with every test.
Whoever Boston hires as an attorney should pick this apart easily. And by the way, never take a field sobriety test.
This dude is a spitting image of the Michelin man.
Maybe he was asleep because he didn’t have enough riding on his tires.
[...] Maybe he needed some extra juice for that speed rack. Or maybe he needed a little pop on his stick to pocket a few more balls on the break. Or maybe he just couldn’t seem to perfect that jump move. Or maybe, just maybe, this is the worst doping scandal ever. Honestly, doping to improve your billiards game? What has this world come to? What’s next, juicing in bowling? Darts? Good heavens, are there no limits to the madness? David Boston would be proud. [...]
