Police in Scottsdale, Arizona, have charged Arizona State football player Stanley Lambert with driving under the influence after a pedestrian was struck by a car and later died from her injuries, according to local reports.

Police say that a car struck a 23-year-old woman as she crossing a road in Old Town Scottsdale around 1:38 a.m. on Saturday. The car's driver was allegedly identified as Lambert. Scottsdale police arrested Lambert on one count of DUI/impaired to the slightest degree and one count of DUI with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or more.

Police released Lambert amid an ongoing investigation and pending lab results. Lambert could face additional charges depending on the outcome of the investigation. Arizona State acknowledged the incident in a statement.

“We are aware of the tragic situation over the weekend involving one of our student-athletes," the statement reads. "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of all involved. We are still gathering information and we do not have any other statement at this time.”

Lambert, a redshirt senior, is a defensive lineman for the Sun Devils. He's appeared in 14 games as a backup, recording four tackles and two sacks.

Maybe the laws are different in AZ than CA, but here that's a very serious offense.

Now on that one, we are in violent disagreement. Duel at sunset is called for.

I'll choose the weapons (beer) and the location (my local pub in Melbourne).

Come on down.

It's a tongue-in-cheek, sarcastic "that's a shame", but I'm am always down for a few frosty ones Down Under.



Recently saw the sister of my best friend from grade school, who recently passed, at his funeral. She lives in Sydney, we've been trading a bunch of e-mails, hoping to visit her soon.

The only thing I can figure is that the egomaniac Crow just won't admit his brilliant plans have failed. So I guess he figures he can ride it out with his NBA exec AD and "CEO Model" figurehead football coach and blame it all on underlings and somehow Herm's brand and promises won't be tarnished and recruiting won't be hurt. Short-term, I guess maybe you can maintain mediocrity with the transfer portal, but the foundation's rotting away. Meanwhile, Hurley is 60-67 in career league play and 3-11 in the rivalry with 2 one-and-done NCAA seasons out of 7. Charli quit, rather than to continue being slapped by Adia, and was replaced by a no-name. They just lost their softball coach, and literally the whole team transferred away. Too soon to tell with Bloomquist, but not a particularly auspicious start. Ah, well, I guess they can focus on more important things...like rasslin' and women's rowing.
