    Aldon Smith and what does probation mean in California

    Aldon Smith is a talented young pass rusher for the SF 49ers who can't seem to string together too many months without getting in legal trouble. DUI's, weapons charges, and a dropped charge of him supposedly stating he had a bomb at an airport.
    He has been suspended by the NFL for 9 games . He is on probation when most others would be in prison. And if media reports are to be believed he "celebrated" his suspension by drinking $3,000.00 worth of wine with 5 friends. If true this shows a lack of commitment to any form of substance abuse recovery. But isn't it also a probation violation? You can't drink or go to bars when you're on probation in NYS.

    I don't think that you can drink on probation anytime..., but I have no first hand experience.

    I read another article that said he'd get twelve DAYS in jail if he violated his probation. I hope that was a typo, 12 days doesn't sound like much of a deterant. I'm a dyed in the wool 40 plus year 49er fan but this kid is being enabled to death, literally. He'd be safer in jail

    Any unusually talented MORON. Acting STUPID can gett expensive.
    His stupidity.. may cost his team their Super Bowl shot. As I type.. I'm watching the Niners lose a game they should have won EASY.

    Yes, they are a little young in the secondary and sorely miss Smith's pass rush. Although Justin Smith is doing all he can
