If somebody said a person was pulled over doing 150mph at 3am, what would you put the over/under on that he was drinking? I would say 90%. 75% in this exact situation. Plenty of fan cops. I owned a Ford Taurus SHO and put it to the test at 3am, on the Thruway, on my way to work knowing that there wouldn't be many cars on the road at that time. Didn't think about the deer though😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost always at night, on nicely paved dry interstate highways between cities in the SouthWest (vegas, LA, San Diego, Phoenix, etc). ------- but to be honest, i probably do have a little bit of the "rules dont apply to me" disease referenced upthread. which, as i think about it, might be part of buying a Lambo in the first place. Instead of a nice Bentley. There are a lot of people who murder people right...so if someone murders someone does that make it normal because other people have done it? Or is it just "normal" because you have done it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to buy a Lambo, buy a proper Lambo not a Lambo for soccer moms. Big tough full of themselves guys drive SUVs now. He probably wanted the prestige of a Lambo but the "toughguyness" of an SUV. It's like getting a pit bull from an expensive upscale dog breeder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two well connected posters here both reported that the Bills loved Addison. Ian Rapaport said too that he had heard there was strong mutual interest between the Bills and Addison. I am 99% convinced he was their guy had he reached their spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookie Man Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Not smart but not a big deal imo. Was going really fast on an empty highway. fastest I’ve ever been in a car was 117. My friend took his dads corvettes when we were 16. What’s the fastest you’ve ever been? Yes we were stupid kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time i was on my way to Vegas. They got me with "officer Able" which is a fixed wing airplane. They have those mile-marker lines on the highway. I had to show up in court in person. to beg. To beg for an nfraction instead of a misdemeanor. To beg for a reduction in charge. To beg to be allowed to do traffic school. They make you show up because nobody actually lives out there, so its a huge pain. I decided not to deny that i was doin about 110. The second time, he actually let me go with a warning. 3 am on my way back from Vegas, so i could get a couple winks before work at 8am. I think he was on DUI patrol and as soon as he saw i was sober and apologetic, he decided he had bigger fish to fry. Highway Patrol, not local PD. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelius Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Addison was gone before, but I'm interested to see how that offense works out. Jefferson is so clearly the 1A best WR in the league. It's hard to get into how incredible he is without it devolving into Diggs trade nonsense (they're both amazing) but Jefferson is truly on a unique run right now. As an incoming receiver, I think you need to know you're going to be a complete backseat to likely the biggest target hog in the league, who isn't ever leaving, so you almost have to mold yourself into that John Taylor role. Big ask for a newb on top of even figuring out if you can play in the NFL. One of the reasons why the Vikes may continue to sputter despite having all-world talent.

machine gun kelly Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 What’s he even doing owning a lambo on his rookie contract? That’s almost as stupid as the incredible reckless driving. He could’ve killed himself or others. That’s disturbing and I didn’t wish we traded up for him. I was very happy the choices they made in the draft, and cautiously optimistic on the free agent acquisitions. As much as I wanted D Hop, I would’ve never wanted to go to that contract he recvd from TN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 11 hours ago, NoSaint said: I’ll loudly agree a single mistake does not define a man we know very little of these guys and extrapolate a ton from small moments. oh, still dangerous, but at 140 his odds of something happening are higher. he has less control at that speed, less lead time to correct something, etc…. It's really not a practical difference. The reaction time is the same and the breaking distance required makes either impossible at those speeds. The 140 is what is tugging at the pearl strings here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
