This Henry Ruggs situation is so sad.

So avoidable.

Innocent young lady loses her life.

Ruggs is almost certainly heading to jail.

If only he had taken an Uber.

@kiwimurph he's so fucked

travelling ridiculously fast, double the legal limit, loaded gun in the car

fucked. good riddance

barbarian

It's fucked. Everything about it.

Can't remember an athlete in his prime throwing his career away in such a reckless, careless way. Aaron Hernandez I suppose.

He should do 10+ years in prison.

Jarryd Hayne says hi.

@mn5 Hayne was an amazing fall from grace, but it was more of a gradual series of mis-steps (criminal and professional). He didn't go off the rails quite like this.

Yeah it's really sad for everyone involved. Young guys making terrible decisions isn't new but you do wonder how much the raiders were supporting him. He's a young guy who will have lived a pretty structured and regimented life in college suddenly living in Vegas with about $10m in the bank.

None of that excuses what he has done and I don't blame the raiders, but I do hope that internally they reflect on whether they're doing everything they can to support rookies on what must be the biggest overnight change in any career.

Aaron Rodgers tests positive for Covid19, and is revealed to be unvaccinated. He's hurt his team badly by having to stand down for 10 days. Along with Newton and Cousins among others, these rich QBs are bad team mates setting a bad example to the rest of their organisations

I have no issues with him being unvaccinated. That’s his choice. Not going to debate the “good” and “bad” about vaccinations.

My issue is him misleading the public in his conference where they asked if he was vaccinated, and he replied that yes, he is fully immunised.

At least Kyrie had the balls to speak his truth.

yeah "fully immunised"

he just missed the "with essential oils and fairy dust"

Rodgers is a shit teammate. Fucking great QB though. This has torched GBs season.

His choice. But it's a labour issue and he knowingly didn't do what he was supposed to do. At least he could have the guts to fess up from the start and take the consequences

The Packers should also be held accountable. They knew his status, and let him break protocols for unvaccinated players, for half the season.
Rodgers should get a suspension, and the Packers should face fines or lose draft picks.
This might hurt the Packers even next season.

Can't see Rodgers doing a revenge tour ala Brady.

KiwiMurph

You have to wonder if all the offseason drama between Rodgers and Packers played a role - that the Packers agreed to look the other way if Rodgers came back.

mariner4life

this is the craziest fucking season.

Two weeks ago the Bengals were top of the Conference, they are now last in their division.
The Broncos, who are shit, hammered teh Cowboys, who previously were good
The Bill lost to the fucking Jags

Unless they all beat the piss out of each other, i can't see the NFC qualifier losing the Superbowl.

Cyclops

@mariner4life

Yesterday I couldn't see this Bills losing to the Jags! Long way to go to the Superbowl.

Fun day though. Packers look to be well and truly stuffed without Rodgers. Off-season will be fun to see where they go.

Shanahan is on the hot seat for the 49ers. What a fall from grace for him - two years ago he was seen as a genius coach. 49ers are constantly sloppy and ill prepared - fumbles, penalties, bad tackling etc. Also add in some very questionable personnel decisions (Kyle is effectively the GM as well).

I've been on the bandwagon of excuse making for the 49ers before this season - there's no more excuses. They just got their ass handed to them by Colt McCoy.

A coaching record of 32-40 after 5 seasons where Kyle has pretty much full control of everything.

There are serious question marks over whether Shanahan is the best coach to develop Lance.

Having said all that - I can't see the 49ers ownership firing Shanahan this season.

mariner4life

Broncos should have new coaching staff as well

AFC is frikken crazy. Two teams have 6 wins. 8 teams have 5 wins, and that number could be 9 if the Steelers get up tomorrow

Did not see that coming. Defence won't dominate like that each week, but well done Titans to find a way to win without the King.

Cyclops

And the Raiders cut another first round pick, Damon Arnette. This time he made a video of himself with automatic weapons and made some death threats. Also had an ongoing civil case for a hit and run.

He was taken with one of the first round picks they got from the bears in the Khalil Mack trade, and also in 2020 (same year as Ruggs).

The raiders 2020 draft might just be the biggest bust ever. Two firsts, and both cut in their second year.
