Eh.

Unless it comes out that he crashed them out, which since it seems like there was video, didn't happen?

Two people were doing stupid poo poo, One person had others in the car hosed up and killed themselves and others, while the other person doing stupid poo poo in another car lived.

Two people go hiking and trespassing on a dangerous shut down trail, one person fucks up and falls and dies, the other person doesn't, you don't like charge the one who survived with manslaughter or murder. Just with breaking whatever law they were breaking. Unless you think racing should carry a jail time in which case lol.

perhaps, but like I also don't believe in putting people in Jail for drunk driving.

There is very very little I can stomach jail being the right penalty for. But shrug. I'm a prison abolitionist. So take that as where I'm coming from.

Even legally you don't go to jail for Drunk driving unless you like hit someone or something. (for first offense), second offense you do get like 5 years tho

In illinois anyway, it's still a misdemeanor, I think you maybe can get like a 5 day sentence. I dunno Georgia's law, but it's probably not a mandatory minimum jail time situation

Anyone who can afford a lawyer, never sees a minute of jail time for the first offense past whatever time they spend in the drunk tank or whatever.

Generally you just get your license suspended/put on probation for first offense. Multiple offenses is where you tend to get the book thrown at you.

Outside the driving issue is it a bigger problem that Carter has kind of looked like poo poo in his workouts and seemingly gained a bunch of weight?

He’s always been overrated. Carter is a scrub and anybody who wanted him over Anderson should be out on posting probation (but not jail time).

Aside from what we're talking about I've considered that this episode might have really messed him up for at least the moment. Like, he might be going through some emotional stuff right now and isn't in the right place to be looking good as a prospect.

He's stupid good but he happens to be a RB so...yeah. The only knock on him is his position.

If he's still there at 21 that's well worth it imo.

This Carter situation is bad news for Seattle all around. I thought he was the most obvious choice at 5 but now I have no idea what they'll do. Tyree doesn't seem like a good scheme fit, Levis doesn't exactly wow, and the Hawks would never draft a CB that high so it's not Gonzalez. And no I don't think they're going RB.

Draft the best edge available or trade down and grab Mayer or one of the WRs.

Shirts is right - there aren’t any odd-front edges which warrant the fifth overall.

I think yeah trading down is the most likely situation. Although I’d be happy if they decided to draft CB Gonzales. Pete’s solid at developing secondary players. Tariq and Anthony would a dreamy outside corner duo and then Bryant is in the slot!

I guess the fact that Pete is good at developing secondary people means it’s more optimal to draft high upside DBs in the later rounds rather than investing first round picks. Idk.

Give me Anderson or Richardson I guess. Even if that means we gotta do a (reasonable) trade up to 3!!!

boss was out of the office today at rotoworld

quote:

Patriots re-signed LS Joe Cardona to a four-year contract.

The Navy man — who was actually drafted by the Patriots in 2015 — has been snapping the ball farther than regular snaps in New England for his entire career. Coach Bill Belichick has been enamored with Cardona's leadership since the second he arrived in Boston. Cardona is just the man if you need a snap to go a greater distance than is typical.
