ESPN.com - Detroit Lions president Tom Lewand is apologizing after he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving while at a charity golf tournament in northern Michigan. Lewand said in a statement Saturday night that he is "deeply sorry" for his actions and takes full responsibility. Team spokesman Matt Barnhart confirmed Sunday that Lewand was arrested and released Friday night. Lewand was attending a charity golf event in Houghton Lake, about 150 miles northwest of Detroit. Without providing details, Lewand says he's "a person in active recovery" and "committed to taking all necessary steps to ensure nothing like this ever happens again." Roscommon County sheriff's officials would neither confirm nor deny the incident.
Wow, not a good weekend for Tom Lewand. Besides getting arrested for DUI suspicion, he shot a 91 on the back nine. Man rough, talk about piling it on. But I think we should try and look at this in a positive light. Ignoring the whole, "he could've killed somebody aspect" I think this is actually an uplifting story. I mean this DUI is just one more thing Tom and I have in common and who knows, maybe someday I can rise to the ranks of Detroit Lions President. If having a drinking problem is a prerequisite when applying for a job with the Lions then I think I'm in and maybe, just maybe I'll someday be running the Lions into the ground too.
PS - Could be worse, at least he's not Joe Cullen.
For all those who don't dedicate their entire lives to Detroit Lion gossip, Joe was our D-line coach who was arrested for DUI while driving naked through a Wendy's drive through. And once Jon Kitna starts ripping on you then you know your career is over.
