But......the point is NOT that he was speeding, if that were the case (simply speeding) heck, even PFT would not print it.
The point they are TRYING to make is that it was his resposibility to REPORT all legal infractions because he was on probation. And that did not happen.
I think the point that they are trying to make is, if it were you or me that was on probabtion, and we failed to notify our probation officer of any legal infractions we would be thrown under the bus. But I think the author is trying to point out that simply because he is a celebrity, this was swept aside.
Again, very little credence to PFT, but I think that is what they were saying. No one cares if he was speeding.

I don't think that is necessarily the case. Often, it is the government's responsibility to make sure that their stuff is straight, and that one agency talks to another. I think lots of people have "beat the system" because of police or probation mistakes. also, if he only had one month probation (i don't know, and I could be wrong), even if it had been reported, I doubt anything serious would have come of it. Probably just an extension of his probation and probably a fine.
Overall, this just seems like a re-hash of old news in the slow off-season.
And I am sure the NBC Sports logo on the top somehow makes this all the more newsworthy now
