I guess Addison never heard of Henry Ruggs.   He just as easily could have wound up in the same position if he had killed someone, being drunk or not.   Give these kids millions and they turn into instant IDOTS!!!!

You don't understand. A lot of them come from nothing then they are given everything.

It's the equivalent of holding a horse back for years then letting the reins go one day. They run wild.

Oh, I understand it perfectly Boss.    These guys have all this rookie orientation, rookie counseling and they just ignore because they are smarter than everyone else because they are a 1st round draft choice.   I think they should put much of the rookie contract in a trust until they learn how to maximize their riches.

All this crap starts in high school, gets worse in college, and can be unlimited if they actually reach a NFL level.
Driving powerful cars is the new status symbol, and getting a ticket means the higher the speed, the higher the cred.
Because that's what's important in life, dont'cha know...

And Boris is right, not only are they given a means to acquire these cars, when they get in trouble with them, the coaches are at least trying to make it go away, often succeeding. When they don't, and the inevitable happens, people get killed or maimed for life.
Exhibit A is University of Georgia.
And if it's happening there, it's happening at most (all?) other D1 universities.

WI will figure it out when they calculate the lost revenue.
Hell, they aren't even to the medical level yet...

I doubt it. The Assembly Speaker and his ilk are using their time to go after scholarships for minority students, in the aftermath of the SCOTUS ruling on Affirmative Action. Legalizing marijuana is not even on their radar, now. They will be too busy dealing with the fallout from the State Supreme Court's upcoming anti gerrymandering rulings, to even think of legalizing marijuana.

Now the Vikings got their own brand - PURPLE.  The trouble is none of it is the color purple - they can be nailed for false advertising.  And they sell worn out clothes.  In the great state of confusion, I mean Minnesota, there should be a law against that if we dig deep enough - they were going to name the state "Lawsareus", but got over ruled by the US Congress when they couldn't figure out how to pronounce it.
