Rive makes like 1.7 million a year before taxes, his agent, union dues, etc. How much is he paying a handler and what if he doesn’t want to do what the handler tells him? Or is KC paying for all their young players to have a handler?
He’s what 22 or 23? I think the meaningful piece of data here is young male, not his profession.
Back when I was younger, my buddy let me drive his souped-up mustang in a large empty parking lot. I almost lost control in a very open environment. I learned about what type of car is too much for me. I'm a good driver, but those things are different animals. I can't imagine just taking a sports car out on the freeway and letting it rip. At least not without a lot of practice first.I have a hard time believing this isn't more common and we simply don't hear about it because it's hush hush.x.com

You grow up, buy a super fancy sports car, and race- that sure wasn't my story but for the lucky few, I bet that's common.
ETA the counter of we expect every young millionaire to drive the speed limit with their Lamborghini doesn't seem reasonable
Statistically young males are far more likely to engage in those types of risky behaviors. Now he will have the consequences- it doesn’t absolve him.
This is why I love Terry McLaurin so much. He's one of the most down to earth, good guys we have in the league. Does tons for the community too.What is it with WR being idiots?
And statistically most young males don't race their cars.
All above my pay grade. I’m just tired of reading about young receivers doing stupid stuff in expensive cars.
I mean, big picture most people his age don’t have his wealth, so they can’t afford a lambo or corvette (not sure which he was driving) so it’s actually pretty relevant

What do you think the NFL do against Rice, if anything?
I have no idea as to what the NFL does in this sort of spot, I'm more talking in terms of the general criminal justice process
One generally follows the other doesn't it?
Commissioner's exempt list?
For one the penalties associated with fleeing the scene of an accident or a hit and run is tied into the severity of the injuries. In his case it could mean the difference between second and a third degree felony. (if he was involved)
Maybe. I'm not knowledgeable on the myriad of laws the US and its constituent states have, nor how the NFL handles these sorts of spots, particularly given the latter seems to change rules in relation to player discipline as often as they change rules about how kickoffs work. I am somewhat aware of how we would handle this thing over in the UK (specifically England and Wales to be pedantic), which would not be concerned about the outcomes of the injuries except in the precise situation where someone is killed
Yep. That’s my gut take as well.So he hasn’t turned himself in and the Chiefs haven’t made a statement in the 18 hours since this happened?
Why would you run if you weren’t high or drunk? You wouldn’t.
On the highway one time I took my Honda Prelude from 70 to 110 MPH. It was late and one else was around. When I went to brake it was a different experience at 110 MPH. First and only time I drove over 100.I got my old Honda Accord over 100 a few timesI mean, big picture most people his age don’t have his wealth, so they can’t afford a lambo or corvette (not sure which he was driving) so it’s actually pretty relevant

For sure but also sometimes people just make dumb decisions in the moment (like drag racing the first place). Even if he had been drinking, he could easily turn himself in now. He would no longer be impaired.Yep. That’s my gut take as well.So he hasn’t turned himself in and the Chiefs haven’t made a statement in the 18 hours since this happened?

Not like they can’t ID you from the vehicles. And if they try to say they weren’t in them, they’re gonna find out real quick about the surveillance state - there’s cameras everywhere. They’ll be ID’d. Running is the dumbest thing ever.
If you are drunk and wait 24 hrs to turn yourself in you are no longer drunk. Would think that fleeing the scene would be better than DUI.Yep. That’s my gut take as well.So he hasn’t turned himself in and the Chiefs haven’t made a statement in the 18 hours since this happened?

Which is more serious, staying and getting a DUI, if he was drinking and driving, or flee the scene. I would think the latter, regardless whether someone was injured.Yep.

I think that’s part of why fleeing is a felony. That offsets the lack of DUI charges.If you are drunk and wait 24 hrs to turn yourself in you are no longer drunk.

I think they’re about equal - DUI/DWI/possession probably has license-related ramifications, but like I said in the post above, they make fleeing the scene a felony partly for that reason.Which is more serious, staying and getting a DUI, if he was drinking and driving, or flee the scene.

Yep kind of like refusing to take a breathalyzer in Michigan results in automatically losing your license.I think that’s part of why fleeing is a felony.

Isn’t that kind of like, “Sir, you killed the man, his, wife, her mother, and the family dog. What do you have to say for yourself?”. “ I was cleaning my gun when it suddenly went off.”.
It's the only defense he really has for fleeing the scene. If his lawyer can get him a doctor who will examine him and say that he suffered a head injury during the crash and that a head injury like that could result in someone being confused following the accident and unable to be fully responsible for their decision to flee.
That would be total BS. Just my opinion. You don’t get off scott free with that defense.
Certainly not scott free but may reduce sentencing if the claim is presented in a credible way
Not if he was drinking and they can prove it, and I think they will one way or the other. I don’t think it would anyway. That’s a hokey defense.
Just want to part out that fleeing the scene of an accident in Texas is only a felony if someone died or got hurt, otherwise it's a misdemeanor.I think they’re about equal - DUI/DWI/possession probably has license-related ramifications, but like I said in the post above, they make fleeing the scene a felony partly for that reason.Which is more serious, staying and getting a DUI, if he was drinking and driving, or flee the scene.

Well yeah, it he was drinking then that's going to be a big problem for him. Won't be hard to prove or disprove. Pretty sure I read he was at a bowling alley before this. Will be pretty easy to find out what he had ordered while there.
The ole’ I was out of my mind defense is weak at best.
How would that happen?
The same guy who disposed of Ray Lewis’ white suit?
