Apparently the Vikings are trying to take some of the blame by saying that they encourage their players to drink kombucha
that is correct - was reported here http://www.twincities.com/2017/06/2...couraged-michael-floyd-to-drink-kombucha-tea/
Vikings chief operating officer Kevin Warren wrote a letter to Floyd’s attorney, Robert Feinberg, who attached it to a defense motion urging Scottsdale City Judge Statia Hendrix to cancel the hearing and reinstate electronic monitoring for the last five days of Floyd’s 96-day home confinement.
The judge had to do something because it would set a precedent for any other person in Floyd's situation which is why he got an additional day in jail. The rest of the decision was to reinstate electronic monitoring for the last five days of Floyd’s 96-day home confinement. Basically a slap on the wrist.
Whether or not Floyd is on the road to recovery from alcohol addiction is another question entirely and that's why the Vikings have him on the roster for a paltry $1.4 million, all unguaranteed. He has a couple of incentives built into the Contract but any NFL suspension will make those even harder to achieve.
Goodell has yet to issue a decision but it is expected that he'll get either a 2 or, more probably, 4 week suspension. Normally a first time offender would get 2 weeks but extreme intoxication (> 0.15%) is a allowable reason for an increased penalty and Floyd blew 0.217 after being found asleep at the wheel on December 12 last year.
