Needless to say, drunk driving incidents involving underage ladies aren't the most "pillar of the community" actions, and if you are a professional athlete, they can be downright embarrassing. So what is one to do if one commits this kind of a social sin in order to show remorse? Turn to Twitter, of course.
Just ask Rey Maualuga, who took a page from the Chad Ochocinco playbook.and issued an apology on his Twitter account. Granted, it was under the 140-character limit -- short, but sweet -- but I do get a feeling of sincerity from Rey, if only for being ashamed of getting caught.
Whatever the case, Rey's sorry and he wants to earn the respect he apparently lost back.
Of course, if he starts the 2010-11 season with a three-sack, ten-tackle performance, most Bengals fans will have a "Oh, I forgot" reaction to Rey's drinking and driving misadventures.

Everyone makes mistakes but it up to him and how he responds to it. He will either go the route of Odel Thurman or Leon Hall.
Still Have a Man Crush on Rey
I’ve made my share of mistakes and been forgiven. I say the same goes for Rey. His Tweet says he has learned from this mistake and I believe him. (And of course, I love Rey’s hair.) You made a mistake Rey, and you know it. But you were a stand up guy and admitted it was a bonehead move. That’s it. Deal with General Goodell and then go smash Flacco’s skinny behind and tear Big Ben’s face off. WHO DEY!

Dear Mr. Sting Rey, i hope you’ll read this post:
Mr. Maualuga was one of the most exciting draft picks we’ve had the honor of selecting in a loooooooong time. I remember calling the Pro Shop the day after the draft looking for his jersey. Not only were we fortunate to have The Sting Rey on the 2009 Bengals, but we all could see the future is very very bright for the nucleus of the Bengal Defense.
Mr. Maualuga, everyone makes mistakes. Vince Lombardi said, “It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up.” Pay the consequences (50grrr, ouch), and keep a low profile. Get that ankle healed up, and trust me when I say this:
The first time you lay a bone-crushing hit on a Pittsburgh Steeler, no good Cincinnati Bengal fan will remember anything about a DUI.
Go get ’em Rey
3 yards and a pile of dust
Rey, as long as you stay on the field........
and play at a high level what you do is your business. As long as you are willing to pay the price and it does not affect me do what you want. However if it costs you playing time or distracts from your performance and hurts the Bengals it hurts me and I will not appreciate that. If you expect us to believe give us something to believe in.
