Aldon Smith San Francisco 49ers linebacker arrested for suspicion of DUI

By John Breech | CBSSports.com

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith is having some trouble staying out of trouble. The third-year linebacker was charged with DUI on Friday after being involved in a one-car accident around 7 a.m. PT near San Jose. Smith has also been charged with possession of marijuana, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.

Smith blew a .15, according to the San Jose Mercury News. That's almost two times the legal limit of .08 in California. The one-vehicle accident occurred when Smith crashed into a tree. Pills were also found in Smith's vehicle, according to the Mercury News.

"At some point, they did a breath sample and it was over the limit," San Jose Police Sgt. Heather Randol confirmed, via CSNBayArea.com. "He was not injured, and it does not appear as if anybody else was in the vehicle with him. And there were no other involved vehicles or reported injuries."

Smith is out on bail and no longer in jail, according to the Sacramento Bee. Smith's bail was set at $5,250.

After practice on Friday, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh pretty much said that Smith will be playing against the Colts on Sunday, "I expect Aldon to be back at work and play on Sunday," Harbaugh said.

This is Smith's second DUI arrest since the 49ers selected him seventh overall in the 2011 NFL Draft. Smith was also arrested for DUI in January 2012 after an incident in Miami Beach. The charges in that DUI arrest were later reduced.

Those aren't all of Smith's troubles though. The 23-year-old linebacker is also facing two lawsuits stemming from a party he threw at his residence in June 2012. Smith was actually stabbed at the party, but the injury didn't turn out to be serious.

According to the Sacramento Bee, Smith's arrest is the fifth DUI-related arrest for the 49ers over the last two and a half years.

Was Johnny Manziel 'Kaepernicking' on Saturday against Alabama?

By Will Brinson | NFL Writer

The hot trend in football is assigning a particular celebration to a specific quarterback by adding "ing" to their last name. Thanks for that, Tim Tebow. Kaepernicking, then, is kissing your bicep after a touchdown, something 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick made popular.
We can only assume that Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel -- you may have heard of him? -- was paying homage to his fellow mobile signal caller with a little smooch to the arm Saturday after throwing his second touchdown of the day against Alabama.
At the time the Aggies were up 14-0. But by halftime, Alabama scored 28 unanswered points to take a 28-14 lead at halftime. Follow the Texas A&M-Alabama game on SEC Live and make sure to check out our All-22 angle as well.

Johnny Manziel giveth, and Johnny Football taketh away

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Here's when it finally became apparent the force of nature we know as Johnny Manziel could in fact be stopped, when that strange, fantastic combination of talent, confidence and occasional luck malfunctioned.
Third quarter, down by two touchdowns but driving. Texas A&M's quarterback dropped back, spotted a receiver downfield and fired. Travis Labhart wasn't really open – a few yards away, Malcome Kennedy was – but this was Johnny Football.

Instead, he underthrew Labhart a tad, enabling Alabama's Jarrick Williams to catch up. The pass hit the safety in the back, popped high in the air – and strong safety Vinnie Sunseri picked it off.
Seventy-three yards later – a circuitous route that included a whiffed tackle by Manziel – Sunseri reached the end zone. Top-ranked Alabama led 35-14, and it was all over. The game – the final was 49-42 – and most likely, Manziel's shot to win another Heisman Trophy.

As 87,596 watched at Kyle Field, Manziel bedeviled the Crimson Tide early, running and passing the Aggies to a quick 14-0 lead, shades of A&M's fast start in last November's victory in Tuscaloosa. He finished 28 of 39, for 464 yards passing and and accumulated 562 total. He threw a 95-yard touchdown pass to receiver Mike Evans midway through the fourth quarter and another to Malcome Kennedy with 15 seconds left to make the final moments enthralling.
And it's only one loss, with a lot of season left. But the statement made by Alabama was emphatic. The Crimson Tide's offense mauled A&M's defense, and Manziel almost, almost kept up. Even with a number of Heisman moments, a couple of mistakes on plays also will be etched in our memories.
Sometimes, they work – like in the first half, when Manziel uncorked a far more ill-advised pass than the third-quarter interception, and when it seemed he might actually be unstoppable.
It was 14-all early in the second quarter, and a shootout seemed on the way – especially after Johnny Football happened.
On third-and-long, no one was open. Pressured, then in the grasp, Manziel spun away. Backpedaled. Spun. Backpedaled some more. And then unleashed an ill-advised pass, a heave off his back foot far down the middle into a hornets' nest.

And of course, an Aggie emerged with the football.
The play took 13 seconds of the game clock, and all anyone could do was shrug: That's Johnny Football.
But that drive ended four plays later when Manziel threw into the end zone. It was a much better decision, but a much poorer pass. The overthrown lob was easily intercepted.
Alabama needed four plays to go 80 yards for the lead. And the next time Manziel tried his luck, it had gone bad.
