  1. So... his lawyer says he was driving one of the cars.

    In his statement on Wednesday, Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice didn’t say he was driving either of the vehicles that sparked a six-car crash on Saturday. On Thursday, his lawyer said it for him.

    Via James Hartley of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, lawyer Royce West said at a Thursday press conference that Rice was driving the Lamborghini Urus that was involve in the incident.

    It’s an important admission. A driver who leaves the scene of an accident involving injuries becomes subject to significant criminal sanctions. Also, Rice could be exposed to criminal liability for street racing.

    A bit liberal but not overly so. Pretty hilarious at times. But it’s full comedy with little action. If you like Andy Sambergs movies then you’ll like the show. It was good imo & both my wife and I loved it 

    Though the last season went off the rails.


  3. Probably not going to end up nearly as bad as the Claypool trade, but why?

    They're not going anywhere this year, so that pick is almost certainly going to be a high one. Is a high second rounder worth having first dibs to try to sign him, rather than trying to get him on the open market?

    I never wish any ill will on anyone. I hate the fact he got hurt. I think it was stupid for him to have been out there that late in a game they were up by 14 at the time. All this being said as a lions fan it makes our path so much easier. The vikes were starting to gel. Akers was looking good this game and it looks like they have a WR to pair with Jefferson when he comes back in Addison. They looked like a team that could easily be a threat to the lions. Now it looks like there are no threats in the NFC north to the lions. 

    Literally no QB is going to get pulled up 14 with 11 minutes left, other than maybe a meaningless week 18 game. Just horrible luck.

    I worked in a genetics lab for years after taking graduate level genetics classes. I still work in research. We are all one human race. Of course Europeans have Neanderthal DNA but the rest of us are human, homo sapien. Race is a social construct, not based in biology. Feel free to research it yourself since you know so much.

    Scientists examining the genomes of West Africans have detected signs that a mysterious extinct human species interbred with our own species tens of thousands of years ago in Africa, the latest evidence of humankind’s complicated genetic ancestry.

    The study indicated that present-day West Africans trace a substantial proportion, some 2% to 19%, of their genetic ancestry to an extinct human species - what the researchers called a “ghost population.”

    After a contract dispute that has lasted for months, the Colts and running back Jonathan Taylor have agreed to a new deal.

    The Colts and Taylor have agreed on a three-year, $42 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The deal includes $26.5 million guaranteed.

     


  7. Not so fast:

    Quote

    Browns running back Nick Chubb had surgery on his knee Friday and he’ll need another one before he starts any rehab process.

    The Browns announced that Chubb had surgery to repair the injuries to his MCL and meniscus that he suffered in Week Two against the Steelers. The team also said that he will have a second surgery to repair his ACL in the coming months.

    The Browns prefaced the announcement of the ACL surgery by saying it is “as expected,” but a recent report indicated Chubb only suffered an injury to his MCL. That report also projected a 6-8 month recovery timeline, but the Browns say that Chubb is expected to return “at some point in the 2024 season.”

    Given that the injury happened in mid-September, that suggests Chubb will be out for more than a year before returning to action for Cleveland.

    Quote

    A year after Akers and the Rams reached an impasse that led to a post-trade-deadline truce, the Rams have shipped Akers to the Vikings, per multiple reports.

    Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports that the trade entails a flip of 2026 (not a typo) draft picks. (Our guess, the Rams get a six, and the Vikings get a seven.)
