Yes, I'm also a fairly large man. Didn't realize we were going to hyper-analyze every possible scenario. So yes, if he really, really wanted to get so shit faced in the span of an hour he can't drive without running over signs it is obviously possible. Hence, the "chugging a bottle of Jack" in my comment. Wasn't really the point. Point being, its 6:30 in the afternoon mere hours after a game. That takes dedication to being a loser who should be unemployed.

Neary didn't impress me in the preseason. When you're a marginal guy for a future roster spot AND make a mistake like that, well it is a recipe for a new career.
Not sure that I'd cut him for it, btw, if I were the GM. But I'd be pi$$ed.

1) A LOT of people felt it was a mistake giving Little another chance after he killed somebody.
2) The NFL has much stronger policies in place now.
3) This may shock you, but top performers get more chances than marginal ones. Not just in the NFL, either. Where I used to work, there were two top performers with serious drinking at work problems. These were ignored and/or covered up. Until one of them made an expensive mistake - one that would not have led to a firing, but which did diminish his value. Suddenly he was called in to be drug tested in the middle of the day, leading to his termination. He had ceased to be worth the hassle of his issues. It happens. In Neary's case - he's a member of the practice squad. There are others about as good available, that aren't facing a suspension anyway.
1. We need a Practice Squad spot for PK Sam GZ'sUnderstudy Ficken ASAP.
2. This PS spot need, is exascerbated by Jamon Brown's return this week where we fling a good-value player like a Johnny Muntz, Justin Davis, or Brandon Allen out into the Waiver Wire Wilderness and hope we can re-capture them onto our PS....which necessitates A SECOND PS SPOT REQUIRED.
3. Aaron 10Tequilas! Neary picked an super-bad time to DUI.........buh-bye!!
4. Finally, recently signed ex-Cards OC/OG Evan Boehm has started some NFL games, so we are still covered at backup interior OLine spots......hurts that we gave up on Jemil Demby though, eh!

I was one of them. He didnt just kill anyone, but he killed a mother. As someone who lost their mother at an early age, the teams decision to keep Little on board never set right with me.

Debates about what the FO should do in a given situation used to be so meaningful when they were completely out of mulligans. My take is that whatever they do (cut him, give him another chance, send him into rehab) they will probably get it right.

He made a mistake. You say that like he dropped a glass of water. This idiot got lit up and sat behind the wheel. He could have killed somebody with his desicon. So pardon if we are quick to judge this icehole

Sean McVay confirms Aaron Neary was at the Rams game on Sunday

Police in Simi Valley, California arrested Rams practice-squad center Aaron Neary at 6:30 p.m. local time on Sunday, some 40 miles from the L.A. Coliseum. On Monday, Rams coach Sean McVay confirmed that Neary was with the team for Sunday’s win over the Cardinals.
“[H]e was at the game on sideline like our practice squad guys are,” McVay told reporters. “He went to a place and shouldn’t have made that decision. The one thing when you sit down and you talk to him — when you talk to the human being — I believe that he felt horrible about it. He knows that it was a mistake. I think the way that he handled it, in spite of making that mistake, I had respect for the accountability that he took for that.”
Left unanswered is how Neary, in roughly two hours after leaving the L.A. Coliseum, ended up with a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.17 percent. Thus, left open is the possibility that the consumption of alcohol began at some point before he left the Coliseum.
Neary was arrested both for DUI and hit and run. “I do believe that Aaron is a good kid,” McVay said. “I could tell he felt horrible about the decision. We really use it as an opportunity. Let’s all learn from this. Let’s look at ourselves critically. Let’s use the resources at our disposal with the way that Uber or the way that Lyft is, and different things that we can utilize to try to avoid some of these circumstances. Thank goodness nobody was hurt. We’re going to help work through this with you. But that’s kind of the approach that we take. Now, each situation – you know how important it is for us with the character, different things like this – I think this was a poor decision in terms of the judgement, but this is something that based on how he felt and when you sit down and you talk to him and then based on the history that we have with the human being, I think you want to try to help him work through something like this as opposed to have severe consequences where he’s not a part of it. . . . Let’s use this as an opportunity for our whole team, our whole organization to be able to learn from and hopefully let’s not make these mistakes again.”
That’s the right attitude from McVay, but until more is known about how and where Neary consumed enough alcohol to get to that level of inebriation relatively close in time to the end of the game, it’s impossible to know whether he did or didn’t drink while at the game or in the locker room, either of which outcomes would expose the Rams to scrutiny from the league office.
