Despite having a gimpy hamstring, Darrelle Revis showed he still had the ability to do something fast. He was pulled over for driving 80 miles per hour in a 40 mile per hour zone. He probably wishes his car moved more like he did Monday night when trying to cover Percy Harvin; looking like he was in jog mode because of his lame injury. The police officer did give him a ticket, and Revis actually did not give him the typical athlete "do you know who I am" line. I will give him some credit because he did admit he was wrong and did not make any excuses for his dangerous act. Jets players are not having much success driving cars. The players really need to start taking advantage of the driving services which the team offers.
His excuse for doubling the speed limit was he was late to a meeting. Revis must have got confused and though he was playing for Giants coach Tom Coughlan. I guess he did not watch Hard Knocks over the summer because if he did, he would have seen Jason Taylor show up late numerous times and have the entire situation turned into a big joke. Everyone thought it was so funny that Taylor had no sense of direction and his GPS never worked. It was one big laugh. There was no punishment for being late, so there was no need for Revis to rush. Rex would have yucked it up and all would have been forgotten. Not watching the show and sitting out all off season cost him a traffic violation.
