You're right and that's fine and all and I'm being a bit petty here but I wouldn't want my QB1 tweeting or talking like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToGoGo Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 33 minutes ago, PetermansRedemption said: I’d never try under any circumstances. Crossing a one lane road where cars are going 55 is difficult enough. Crossing 3-4 lanes of traffic with cars going 60-70? Nearly impossible. You will never realize how fast cars get to you at that speed until it’s too late. I know that freeway area by the FLL airport. I have no clue why anybody would be there on foot. 1 minute ago, JerseyBills said: You're right and that's fine and all and I'm being a bit petty here but I wouldn't want my QB1 tweeting or talking like that. Not petty. Totally normal to be wary of that from a supposed leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also pretty safe to say that the Ravens won't be going deep in the playoffs for years to come with a leader like that. If Watson plays asap, they're probably the 3rd best team in their own division imo Edited April 9, 2022 by JerseyBills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it was (not saying it is) suicide, it doesn’t change anything. It’s still tragic. I just think most people are just curious to what led up to the tragic incident. People like to learn, so we can attempt to prevent further tragic incidences. More people need to understand it’s imperative that if your car is breaking down to get over on the shoulder as quickly and safely as possible. And remain in your car until help arrives. Under no circumstances should you walk out onto the shoulder access or even thinking about crossing (which supposedly) he tried to do.

CoffeeDrip Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I feel terrible for Haskins family and friends, but also for the driver of the vehicle and their family. Not only do they have to suffer through the internal trauma of knowing this happened, but they also have to see constant reminders on social media and television. Just heartbreaking all around. 2 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) 5 hours ago, SCBills said: Schefter stays posting some incredibly bizarre stuff lately. “Struggling to catch on..”…. Oh, ok, thanks for reminding us how he wasn’t doing so well in the NFL before tragically dying today. Vital information, Adam. I read it differently . A young man, struggling in life like so many of us, was lost under unrelated tragic circumstances. This, to me, is much more powerful and respectful than, say, “NFL QB”, or “former college star”. Dwayne Haskins’ story is try, succeed, try, fail, try … No debate with you. Another perspective. Edited April 9, 2022 by Neo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always kind of cringe when they let Brandt just babble on. Today’s was truly cringe worthy. Brandt said a bunch of negative stuff about a guy who just died tragically. I’ll be surprised if Vic does anymore Godfather segments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have been put out to pasture years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippery Rubber Mats Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I live right by this highway. Has anyone said how he got onto 595 on foot? That's absolutely tragic and wild. That is a major highway with cars and trucks going 80+ over 5-6 lanes each way. Unbelievable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable The cnn article I read said he was “walking” on the highway and then decided to cross the highway. How far away from his car was he? The biggest question is, if he was walking on the shoulder (presumably) why did he decide to cross it to the other side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
