I get caught speeding at least once every two years. It sucks. And every time I get caught, I make sure I drive within five miles of the speed limit for the next six months to ensure I don't get caught again and thus risk having my insurance go up dramatically, have extra points taken off my license, be forced into attending traffic school (again) and so on. Therefore, I assume that if I ever got caught on suspicion of driving under the influence, I'd be even more cautious about my driving habits for the next few months. If not for the next few years altogether.
Well, if you're Carmelo Anthony, apparently this isn't the case. According to the Rocky Mountain News, Melo got caught speeding at 4:45 pm on Saturday afternoon (at least it wasn't 4:45 AM).
Why is it that Melo drives aggressively anywhere but on an NBA Playoff basketball court?

Mello, To get around town,it's time for a Moped or a Donkey.
Options are extra.
Ha, nice finishing touch. Some people just don't get it (Melo). Hey how about them Hornets!
eh not much to this i don't think. 15 miles over the limit is hardly something to get fussy about. but it is bad timing. one month after the dui incident. if he doesn't prove himself this year in denver. he better start packing his bags
Melo-
Its time for you to decide. Become a player or a playa you cant be both. Ask Dennis Rodman.
Let him drive as fast as he could,so that he can get out of the town!
I swear some players just don't get it, and unfortunately, Carmelo Anthony is turning out to be one of those players. But, it was just speeding, and at least he wasn't under the influence this time. Isn't his court hearing in a week or so? I think Anthony needs to stay away from all cars / roads / drinks until after his hearing.
I REFUSE to be upset or judgmental about SPEEDING. I speed everyday. Just because Melo is famous he has to put of with people giving him grief over SPEEDING.
This is not news...LET IT GO!
It may not be news, but it's something to poke fun at. And of course, the timing of it all.
I'll never fault Melo for speeding since I speed everywhere. However I can fault his judgment for where he got caught. That stretch on Santa Fe between Evans and Hampden is a notorious speed trap area. He should have known the roads better than that.

LOL! Beautiful, could not have said it better myself. :)
Simply put, this is hilarious yet disappointing and unbelievable at the same time.
I enjoy reading this blog because it doesn't include stuff like this. Andrew, you're better than this. By the way, I saw your pic on my wife's US weekly. nice placement.
It's only 'not news' for people with their heads in the sand.
Melo's speeding headlong into disaster - a la Michael Vick style.
BRING MELO HOME TO THE EAST COAST! Either that, or get another coach. The Nuggets are trying to favor the coach, in a "player's league"! There are numerous examples of troubled stars who when traded elsewhere, ended up thriving! The most prominent being Charles Barkley, who won MVP & got to the Finals after going to Phoenix. He was constantly in trouble in Philly, & the Sixers decided to stick with the coach. It took years for them to recover! Unless you're Phil Jackson, Popovich, or a major name, the team should always fire the coach, & keep the stars! Why are your Nuggets doing the reverse!?
This isn't news because Melo was speeding, but rather news because he is continuing to prove to everyone he is a retard.
Somebody tell Melo there is car service. I know he can afford it.
Maybe he saw that I included him on my Bonehead Watch article for ebonyjet.com. Seems I was a week early.
But here's the link anyway, DenverStiffs.
