    Did you ever drive fast cars at a high rate of speed, I'm talking 140 mph plus? I have and I'm blessed that nothing happened to me that happened to Riggs when I was younger.

    We would definitely have been worse off if I were GM.

    I would have gone with WAJ, tried to move up for Carter and then put my hopes on a QB in 2024. It's ludicrous looking back, but Bryce's size, CJs test, and inexperience and injury history of the others just had me believing none were worth making a Franchise QB.

    I see drivers like him all the time risking the lives of all to be one or two cars ahead at the next light or stop sign. They are foolish, but will swear it's the safe drivers who are the problem.

    I've driven a car a bit over 100 on a highway in safe conditions, but I've never driven like that *******.

    With that said, I'm a Christian and I absolutely believe in forgiveness, but not necessarily second chances due to the likelihood that he'll kill others in a similar fashion.

    Now is the time for him to seek Jesus and to prepare himself for when he is eventually released.

    150 at night in a 45? He deserves the death penalty.

    Henry Ruggs was driving at speeds exceeding 150 mph, specifically 156 mph, just before the fatal crash that killed a woman and her dog. His Chevrolet Corvette was driving at 156 mph before slowing to 127 mph just before impact, according to police. The speed limit in the area was 45 mph.

    I wish I could find the pre-draft clips of WAJ, back when I/we were talking him up. He just destroyed people, I miss football, I would watch those things again

    I would also watch clips of Dat Nguyen at Aggieland

    Fast is not the operative condition. It's too fast for the situation. I drove fast on Montana when there was no speed limit. But even then I drove less than 100 even though it was a well maintained and controlled access road. Driving 40 in a residential neighborhood is way too fast.

    It isn’t about what ‘happened to me’, it is about ‘I didn’t kill someone’. Both the passive tense and the focus on your own fate are wrong. Deciding to do that is an intentional disregard for whether other people live or die.

    I have driven well over 100 and likely will again tomorrow when I land in Germany. But it is legal and safe there on some freeways. A residential neighborhood at night … that’s beyond inexcusable.

    The only reason we aren't negotiating for an extension right now is it's against league rules.

    We hit a lottery with CJ and Will. I don’t care if they win Super Bowl because it’s a team game but their attitude and leadership inspire fans to have hope.

    Using Stingley's Contract as a guide, He completed his 3rd season from his original 4 year Rookie Contract. Either the end of the playing season or end of the league season is the soonest you can negotiate an extension.

    Stingley signed before June 1, so it's probably irrelevant since he's extending. The contract extends the original 4th year (2025) AND the optional 5th year (2026) by 3 years (2027-2029) so the new earned money begins after 2026. But there is a players opt out after 2028 so the only guaranteed extension years are 2027 and 2028.

    The same conditions will apply to CJ and WAJ at this END of this year.
