Driving under the influence is always a problem around the holidays. There’s many parties where alcoholic beverages are being served, and the potential for a run in with the law increases exponentially.

Deshaun Watson throws too many interceptions and that will decide the national championship game tonight. This is simply the WRONG secondary to make that kind of mistake with.
