Aldon Smith arrested again, 49ers freefall continues

This morning’s news that 49er defensive end Aldon Smith has been arrested again, this time for DUI, Hit & Run and Vandalism, is just another in a long series of body blows to the San Francisco 49er organization.

For Smith, depending on the details of this morning’s incident, it will likely result in a long suspension, or perhaps even his release from the team.
