National Football League analyst Donovan McNabb has been suspended indefinitely after his second DUI arrest, and his employers did it with a statement that was a lot easier to understand than his. TMZ obtained video footage of the arrest, which shows McNabb telling an officer that he was taking cough medicine because he was battling a cold.

After reading McNabb his rights, the officer noted the former quarterback’s only response was “I know what it means, I’ve been through this before”.
A Gilbert police officer was called to a non-injury collision at about 11:35 p.m. on June 28 near Chandler Heights and Higley roads, where the officer found McNabb’s silver Land Rover had rear-ended another vehicle.
According to Arizona Law, if McNabb is convicted of the second offense, he could face a minimum of 90 days in jail and revocation of his driver’s license for one year.
NBC previously said he was taking a leave of absence from his radio role there.
“There was a story that was released, and I want everybody to be cognizant of it, because I am very aware of it, handling the matter at this particular point”, McNabb said live on NBC Sports Radio.

McNabb, 38, was a three-time Big East Offensive Player of the Year with the Orange and was picked No. 2 overall in the 1999 NFL Draft. “It is important that Donovan use this time as best he can to resolve his personal situation.” Not surprisingly, the former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback insisted he was not drunk while speaking with police.
