Slightly OT Part Time Blues Reporter Dan McLaughlin Arrested

[cprice12]

This guy is a Grade A asshole. I met him a few years back and he was so full of himself. He just thought that he was God's gift to women as he was trying to get my friend to go back to his house with him.

Now he is God's gift to the refrigerator.

Funny you should say that. He hit on a friend of mine when her husband went to the concession stand.
She said he's a complete tool.

Sooooooo.... what's his game? What's his best line? How does he go about snagging and bagging the womenfolk?

Sounds like a contest to me.


CAPTION THIS:

[big d note]

"I'm kind of a big deal."

[fargoblues]

Bring me Solo and the Wookiee. They will all suffer for this outrage.

[kodos]

[dubbs]

Thank God, this guy is such a prick. He has ZERO personality.

At least Jim Hayes tries to be funny.

ST. LOUIS • Cardinals broadcaster Dan McLaughlin has been cited for drunken driving for a second time after a stop by Chesterfield police on Sunday.

Police said McLaughlin, 37, was stopped at 10:13 p.m. on Baxter Road and Isleview Drive after he crashed his vehicle. No other vehicle was involved, police say, but they declined to elaborate.

Police also accused McLaughlin of leaving the scene of an accident and negligent driving. He was released on $750 bond.

McLaughlin has not yet appeared in court on the charges. Police declined to provide any more information until formal charges are issued.

McLaughlin is the primary play-by-play announcer on the Cardinals' Fox Sports Midwest telecasts. FSM general manager Jack Donovan said he takes the incident "very seriously'' and that McLaughlin has been suspended, although he didn't say for how long. But McLaughlin has no pending assignments for Fox Sports Midwest now that the Cards' regular season is over and the station does not air any of their postseason games.

The latest arrest came while McLaughlin was apparently still on probation for a drunken driving conviction in Chesterfield last year. In November, McLaughlin was ordered to serve two years probation and complete community service after he pleaded guilty to driving drunk on Aug. 16.

In that case, police pulled him over on Highway 40 after receiving a report of an erratic driver. McLaughlin refused to take a breath test and was arrested. He said he was returning home from a charity golf event.

At his guilty plea, McLaughlin said the arrest "taught me the most valuable lesson of my life."

"I'm just trying to better my life and move on," he said.

As part of the plea deal, the state did not revoke his license.

McLaughlin could not be reached for comment. A Cardinals representative also could not be reached for comment.

(Frank) a little over a year...

Lolz

[cardsfan04]

I don't want to sound holier than thou, but what a (Franking) idiot. So, you're on probation for a DUI, and you decide to drive, apparently wasted enough to wreck your car? Given that he was already on probation for the same non-minor offense, he probably should do some sort of jail time. I don't know how much, but there should be something.

And, obviously getting fired from FSN seems inevitable.

[STLADOGG]

I hate this guy, love it when this happens.

[not_a_wings_fan]

He's a bloated drunk. The before/after picks sorta seal the deal on it.

Alcoholisnm blows. I hope he gets some help before he kills himself, or, worse, someone else.

And ya, he sucks at his job. To me, he is the poster boy for the typical "St. Louis Asshole." There is so much about his specific brand of douche that typifies STL.

Said, but very true.

[thedoc]

He looked so much happier in his first mug shot.

I think he killed someone, do you know anyone missing? Seriously looks like a serial killer.
