Check mate. Fan, you'd better stick to Checkers. Per https://earthprofessor.com/fast-tsunamis-move/ "As tsunami waves enter shallow water near land, they slow to the speed of a car, approximately 20 or 30 mph." On the plus side, if a tsunami hits Virginia Beach, we in the DC area have 10-12 hours to react before the waters start lapping near the neighborhoods of Silver Spring MD 3 hours ago, Fan since a Fetus said: 3 hours ago, Fan since a Fetus said: 3 hours ago, Fan since a Fetus said: Sorry for the extras.

I can’t think of any who have done actual jail time due to speeding, which if he’s suspended will probably be the difference. Addison (Vikings) seemingly won’t be suspended for going 144 mph which is a disgrace. This is Davis’ second offense though which is why the jail time is happening. Any amount of jail time usually results in a suspension to protect the almighty Shield. And we know Robinson is at the least getting 9+ days (the judge rejected a plea bargain that settled on 8 days in prison. As much as 30 days (the initial sentence) though he’s still trying to appeal it down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballZombie Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Yeah, I agree w/ @Conn You give the league a black eye, you can expect retribution. Just on the face of prison time alone, regardless of why, I'd be more surprised if there was no suspension handed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 When I was stationed in Oceana one of my friends who was from Richmond found out the his exgirlfriend was being beat on, by the new guy. He hung up the phone and we packed 12 guys into two cars (one being my 86 Tbird that was overheating and needed the hear blasting) with all the cheap booze we had left (It was Sunday morning) and we raced to Richmond driving like total idiots. Got there, beat the living **** out of a bunch of guys. Drove around looking for them rounding them up, then raced back for muster at 6am. That was pretty dumb and I'm glad I didn't have to go to jail for that one. Davis is young and dumb. Y'all love to throw stones at our gladiators. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Man, the Broncos lost Hamlin and Patrick yesterday. We have a bunch of WRs. Maybe we could dangle Samuels. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWinzit Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I did tons of really stupid things when I was younger. Fortunately I was not caught for doing them. However after doing them, I realized it was stupid, I was lucky not to get caught and eff up my life, then never did any of them a second time. Jamin's first offense was really stupid, and got tangled up with the law. the second one is just idiotic. What's the chances Rivera and Co. would have kept him on their draft board if he had done just the first offense pre-draft? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuels is a bit of an enigma, showed promise here at times but nothing to warrant him being untouchable. Most have him as the 3rd receiver but if Brown flashes I can see Samuels being the odd man out as far as the top 3 and may very well be trade bait. But on the other hand injuries are inevitable and why weaken a good position group? My GM skills are about that of Vinnies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the ceiling for Samuels is a 4rth, but his value to this team is pretty high, but it's a throw away year and our RBs seem to be focused on catching the ball. He's a hell of a weapon, but build for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they have a decent LB or OL that could be swapped if not a pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballZombie Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Raiders cut TE OJ Howard. Dirt cheap if they wan him. He signed w/ Vegas this year so he gets to keep his signing bonus and he was only 1.2 Mil. You have to wonder why Vegas cut him tho. I'd need to know more about that first, but gotta love the cost nothing price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seeing anything where players get suspended or released from a team for speeding. As unfortunate as it is, he was not responsible for someone dying. Maybe some feel all “exteme” speeders should be penalized much more harshly and laws to support that, but not how it works it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will agree to disagree on the responsibility side - he wasn’t driving the car that crashed, but he was part of what led up to that crash. Jalen Carter who the Eagles drafted has a very similar case going through the courts as well from when he was at Georgia. Will be interesting to see how these end up from the NFL’s perspective - I expect some kind of suspension. EDIT I suppose Riggs case is sort of related. Though he was drunk and driving the car in which someone died so its a much more serious case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
