Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim has found himself in hot water after he was arrested over this past weekend for driving under the influence, which has potentially put him in line from punishment handed out by the NFL.
There has been more evidence laid out involving the situation with a video from a body camera of the arresting officer being made public that shows Keim stating that he only had two beers fewer two hours after being pulled over.
This has only further cemented that Keim was indeed intoxicated when he was pulled over by the police as he noticeable struggles abiding by the officer's tests. He had made clear that he couldn't do the walking portion of the examination due to a knee problem. After that point, he has trouble using only his eyes to follow a pen as he had to put his hands next to his face in order to stop himself from moving his entire face during that process.
On top of all of that, he had also declined to take the breathalyzer test at that point where he had already proven he was under the influence. This is a situation that was only further increased the likelihood that he will receive some sort of punishment from the league that has seen many players who commit the same action receive multiple game suspension. The NFL could come down harder on him given that he's in a front office position and should be held to a higher standard of avoiding being involved in a DUI.
The Cardinals could also take the approach of putting forth their own internal punishment for Keim's inexcusable actions that only give a bad image for the organization. All of this should be sorted out over the next few days with the NFL taking a deeper investigative dive into it all.
