Was out on a ride over the weekend with a few friends including one pretty serious triathlete, who chided me for yielding right of way to a car when I didn't need to. Buddy I only need to make one wrong assumption about right of way while biking for my life to be ruined, I'm going to play it safe as often as possible.

Being predictable is good so generally if you have the right of way taking it is preferable, but obviously can't speak to the specific situation. Don't see the point in chiding anyone for passing it off imo.

Tolzien with the Colts was weird cause he only played 3 quarters of the opener that year. Luck was hurt and they’d traded for Jacoby Brissett like a week earlier and he didn’t know the full offense yet. Also, that was the first game for the Rams under McVay, so they came out and just lit up the Colts with a modern offense nobody was fully expecting for after years of Jeff Fisher. Also Chuck Pagano was a hilariously hyper conservative and predictable and it cost the Colts a lot that year.

I don't know how many QBs the Colts trotted out in each of those seasons, but now I'm picturing a Colts version of that one Browns jersey where the list of QB names stretches beyond the bottom edge of the jersey.

The official account of NFL Tackle Phil Loadholt.

Let's talk Football.
According to the news he collided on the passenger side of a car making a left turn. Now we don’t know the speeds involved but the collision was violent enough that he flew through the rear passenger side window.

The thing is unprotected left turns are just insanely dangerous for both driver and oncoming traffic simply because it requires a number of quick and decisive actions. You have to assess how far cars are and and what speed they’re coming at you as well as clearance of crosswalks etc. But yeah, just don’t ride a motorcycle.

That said I live in California and yes you have lane splitting. But it’s insane to me when I go visit family in the Midwest and you have states with no helmet laws. Just naked heads driving on a highway going 70. It’s insane.

The majority of multi-vehicle motorcycle fatalities are situations where the car is making a left turn. Sometimes the motorcyclist is speeding but quite often the issue is that the driver simply doesn’t see them and turns into their path or directly into them.

Going through the window rather than over the car and a 100 feet down the road means he probably wasn’t going that fast, but it you don’t have to be going that fast for a collision to be violent when you’ve got basically nothing between you and the car to protect you.

In his defense when the chargers got into the playoffs in the 06/07 year everyone just stacked 8 in the box against him. Not even entirely Rivers' fault, it was just the way to kill the Chargers offense.

I mean it's a he said/she said at the moment. We've only been told the Touhy's made money off the movie without being given proof from the contract details. We're also talking about Hollywood. It's the land of loving people out of money despite there being a contract. The Touhy's could have easily not gotten paid off the gross profit just as easily as they could have scammed Oher out of millions.

It's really attractive to automatically hate them and it's probable they did something sheisty but you kind of need proof before avowing that one side is evil and the other is good.

They gave up a ton because everyone wanted him. He was 6'4 with a cannon and was coming off a 2.7k yard 28 td/0 INT season with another 1100 rushing yards and 14 TDs. NDSU never really taught him to throw anything besides gently caress it deep and then he lost his junior year to the covid season so he was a total project.
