NRL Star Takes Typical Drunken Footballer Idiocy To A Whole New Level

Congratulations to North Queensland Cowboys player Carl Webb who has not only joined the footballer Hall Of Shame by getting into alcohol related trouble, but impressively managed to up the ante a bit, getting caught drink driving hours after his own wedding!

The Queensland State of Origin representative was pulled over by a booze bus at 7am on Saturday in Flinders St East, Townsville, after driving back to clean up after his wedding reception.

Wait, he couldn’t afford to pay people to clean up after his reception? I know there are salary caps, but this kind of penny pinching is ridiculous!

Police have charged Webb with a BAC offence – a blood alcohol concentration of more than 0.05 per cent and below 0.15 per cent – and he will appear in court on November 27, the Townsville Bulletin reports.

Carl is admitting he made an idiotic choice, and also acknowledges that perhaps hiring help to clean up after his wedding may have been a wiser decision.

Webb said he did not encourage drink-driving and had tried to do the right thing by not driving home the night of his reception. But he admitted that his actions in driving the next morning were wrong and issued a public apology.

“I wish to apologise to everyone involved at the Cowboys including our sponsors and fans for putting myself in this situation,” he said. “In no way do I condone drink-driving and I have learnt a valuable lesson, in hindsight I should have had someone else drive the car back to the reception location for the clean-up.”

Ah well. At least this ensures his nuptials will be memorable for all involved/anyone who picked up a paper during the days following!
