The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
I refuse to believe there isn't a concierge service in Vegas of all places that will send a car with two drivers to bring your ride home with you.

It looks like Ruggs rear-ended the RAV4. If he still managed to kill someone through a rear-ending, and judging from the total destruction of the front trunk on the 'Vette, he must've been going 100+ MPH.

I was wondering how someone in a corvette could rear end and kill someone in a Rav4. The Rav4 is a decent-sized vehicle.

His lawyer is going to tell him to cooperate and plead out as early as possible to get a lower level charge. He is not going to get convicted of the Class B.

Donte Stallworth went to jail for 30 days and ended up actually playing again so who knows.

The police statement said the Rav4 was on fire when they arrived and there was a deceased person inside. Decent chance this person was burned alive.

It seems like Bama alum are more often caught as a public menace behind the wheel which makes me wonder how much horrendous poo poo is suffocated by Tuscaloosa. Though it's not like other players don't drive like grand theft auto characters. Lamar recorded a tik-tok of himself driving around 100 MPH a few years back.

Ruggs is going to get booked, post bail, go back to playing, get his arraignment in the off-season, plead to a lesser charge (likely a gross misdemeanor), probably do less than a year in jail then be playing again.

IIRC the guy he hit was illegally walking across a highway or something so that was probably a mitigating circumstance

That situation was pretty different. The person was walking across a highway at night and Stallworth being inebriated didn't contribute to the accident.

I would be pretty shocked if he plays again before he goes to jail when he's facing charges for killing someone.

I suspect he's suspended / unavailable for this season, then he pleads out in the offseason, does not do jail time, and ends up suspended for like 4 games next year.

Goodell won't allow it, he'll get put on the list. This is a way clearer legal situation than Watson.

Rodger Goodell has a released a statement:

“That process is still ongoing and until that process isn’t ongoing and we have enough data and enough information to be able to make a determination of whether he should go on commissioner exempt, we don’t feel that we have the necessary information at this point,” Goodell said

Ruggs was probably too drunk to even make the call by the time he got into the Corvette, but frankly it should be drilled into players to arrange the ride ahead of time.

I'm pretty sure that was dropped years ago because players didn't trust a service ran by the NFL not to narc to the commissioner on what they were up to at 3AM.

Yeah, I dunno, maybe the facts are particularly bad here (given what Diva posted about the car being on fire), and they really try to stick it to him. But it would be very surprising if he got 2+ years in prison, unless (even more) horrible facts emerge. (1) It's the reality of plea bargaining - they charge the highest possible thing they could charge you with and use the leverage to secure a lesser plea, (2) if Ruggs is actively cooperating, they won't want to go too hard after a high profile cooperator--might discourage cooperation in other cases, and (3) Ruggs is very rich.

I bet he gets 3-6 months in prison, max, plus a significant probation period or whatever the equivalent is in Nevada.

Many individual teams have their own programs too I believe. There's no way the Raiders didn't, given... Vegas.

Immediate advice he's gotten be given, based on my way limited knowledge, but he's still seeing prison time if he pleas NC.

And yes to someone who asked - the NFL still has the car service available, and you get charged as an organization. The organization can either charge the players or eat the cost. Nearly NONE of the players use it, but I've met one of the drivers one evening and they're all security detail as well. So they have UBER drivers who carry guns but are retired military/police etc.

Even if the org makes you pay for it yourself, you're worth tens of millions. $500 for a pickup every friday is what, 25k? Cmon man.
