Broncos suspend Russell, Heckert

ESPN.com news services / 7-15-2013

The Denver Broncos on Monday suspended director of player personnel Matt Russell indefinitely without pay and director of pro personnel Tom Heckert for one month without pay for their recent drunken-driving arrests.

The team said in a statement announcing the discipline that they informed the NFL of the punishment and the league said it has no plans to impose further punishment.

Heckert's blood alcohol level was .162; Russell's was .246.

Thank goodness they didn't hurt anyone.

He's probably a major alcoholic. Occasional drinkers can barely walk with a level that high.
