    1) the driver of that dump truck will carry the burden for the rest of his life, even if he is 0% at fault.  I have heard the stories of locomotive engineers who had someone go around the gates and get struck by their train and die.  That's 0% the fault of the locomotive engineer - a big train doesn't even slow appreciably in the time between seeing someone and the train getting to the crossing - but they carry that for the rest of their lives.

    2) on a restricted access highway where it's illegal to be a pedestrian, there is no way the dump truck driver is going to be found majorly at fault.  If he were proven to be speeding and distracted at the time, those would be contributing factors.

    3) people can be remembered for their lives and accomplishments more than a final decision they made, even if it were a poor decision.

    I would have to agree with number 1 on your list. My father was a truck driver and when I reached a certain age he told me he was in an accident that took another person's life.

     

    He wasn't at fault and he showed me a letter written by someone in the family of the person he was in that accident with. To sum it up they didn't blame him and didn't want him to blame himself. 

     

    Keeping that letter around for so long after it happened tells me he won't ever forget that moment in his life. To be honest I don't think the letter or the fact the other person was proven to be at fault made him feel any better about it.

    No struggle. It’s apparently very difficult to bring criminal charges in these cases. His lawyer essentially is putting the women on trial. Civil cases will likely bring settlements. Sorry, 22 women just seems a few too many for me. I am glad he’s not the face of the Bills. It’s an embarrassment to the Browns imho. I shall shun him as best I can, and it’s really no struggle. 

    People make choices. You choose a profession like being a massage therapist you should have a plan in place for dealing with a situation like a client acting inappropriate. You shouldn't have to but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. You shouldn't need home security but people still have it. 

     

    If the first few of the girls spoke out or pressed charges then maybe that might have prevented some of them from having to go through it at all. It might not have helped the first girl but after a few incidents it would have been taken more seriously. It would make a bigger difference to take action immediately. 

     

    You involve money and a lawsuit you might have people that had a bad experience with the situation looking for retribution and you might have also have people that are opportunitist that will piggyback off others just because they have the opportunity. 

     

    It wouldn't surprise me at all that there was inappropriate behavior happening but you can't wait around months and years never press charges and jump in in a lawsuit and really expect criminal justice. I never seen anyone speaking out against this dude until the lawsuit was news.

  3. I think a few things like a text, email or even a voice recording would give the accusations some strength but I don't think I would want to go to battle with just a few witnesses and I don't think it will be enough in my opinion and people looking into it will want more than witness testimony to take action on those accusations I believe. 

  4. McDermott gave him a job that gave Daboll an opportunity to springboard himself into a head coaching gig so I don't think his feelings about his former boss is all doom and gloom even if it isn't all sunshine and rainbows.

     

    If I were Daboll I would have some appreciation for Josh Allen and McDermott when I sit in a new office with a higher ranking position because they were on the path traveled to get that job.

  5. If I was a minority and I really thought the rule was a sham I wouldn't show up for the interviews. 

    I never voted in my entire life because I felt there was no point to it. 

     

    It must work enough for people to keep showing up or they are just fools.

  6. It's simple to understand that the rule only give a person an interview and nothing is promised after that.

     

    If you really want more hires then sweeten the deal with some incentives to make those hires and you might get more results. 

     

    It may not feel like the right thing to do but you might get more results if there are added benefits into making hires you might not of been planning on doing. 

  7. I want to clarify that I know this topic has many avenues and lanes to travel down and I am not interested in going in any of those directions because I feel neutral in most of those topics slightly agreeing and disagreeing with everything. 

     

    Although one big issue I have with the situation specifically is that this guy was indeed hired as a minority head coach and served as a head coach for an NFL team and is a shining example of the fact it can and does happen so I don't feel sorry for him honestly in some respects. He was the thing he is complaining about not being given a fair chance to be so it's case closed for me. 

     

    Although if he does have evidence of some claims he made about Miami I think it's a good thing to expose that.

     

    If he does have specific evidence that he wasn't hired by an NFL team specifically because of his race such as a witness or text message I will respect that for sure but just because you got passed over doesn't mean it was racially motivated. 

     

    I am in no way saying there isn't a problem to be debated about around hiring head coaches, I am just saying I don't think it was a problem for this guy and isn't a problem now unless he has something concrete to show that he hasn't yet. 

     

  8. I never thought Buffalo was going to win that game, I only hoped they would. So I am not upset about it. It's just entertainment to me and the team isn't trash so I will get my entertainment value from the season.

     

    I know some people have higher expectations but it was kinda obvious the Bills have some exploitable flaws and as a team and organization they haven't figured out how to cover that up yet and it doesn't seem like a few practices are going to clear that up from week to week. 

     

    I don't feel all that doom and gloom some others may feel, The Bills had a few shots to win the game and a few chances to take the game over early and couldn't clutch it. I don't want everyone fired and I still have confidence. I do think some the drawing board needs to be reworked because the plans for victory are not working.

     

    All phases of the game have some problems but I think it boils down to not being able to score enough points. You could bring Tyrod Taylor back if you want 3 to 10 point games.

     

    Anyway it's getting wild with emotions and I am not going to personally tell everyone to calm down because it's not a good look for them.

    Well... as you said yesterday... the Rams coach and management think they have got an upgrade.... and their jobs actually depend on it unlike as scrubs here...

    I can only see it two ways. The Rams think they will win a SB with this trade or they just dislike Goff so much they would throw a lot of assets into moving him. 

     

    I think when hindsight comes around a lot of people will know this was not a good trade.
