Stop.  A healthy adult(let alone  a pro athlete ) has a better chance of having an aneurysm then he does dying from Covid.  

because people continue to argue  and bring up people who are and arent Vaccinated. Again, as a normal adult, some what healthy, vaccinated or not, it doesnt matter and the numbers are there to back this up 

With that being said, the old, the smokers, over weight people it does make a difference. 

This will be my last post on this topic.

we dont know any of this about the vaccine either. 

Again, a healthy person under 65 is just as likely to die fron the Flu, Pneumonia, aneurysms etc 

Ahem..

Here, new law. Everyone going to a bar must surrender their drivers license and car keys to be picked up upon leaving if they are not "visibly intoxicated".

Lets say you are hit by a drunk driver and mangled. Let's say the driver has no insurance, because he's clearly a POS. So you can sue him, but he'll declare bankruptcy and you get nothing. Turns out the bar he was at had a deal on, bucket of 6 beers for $5. The servers kept serving him, let's say he consumes 2 buckets to himself, over 3 hours. They see him put on his coat, take car keys out of his pocket....don't you think the bar has some responsibility from stopping him? And if so, then they should have to pay for you getting mangled by that idiot. 

That idiot driver should also do jail time and have his license taken away, but that doesn't seem much of a deterrent to these types.

Question for cap guru's. OTC is showing Russell Wilson with cap hits of $37mm in 2022 and $40mm in 2023, how would that work in a trade to the Eagles?

I mean there's literal receipts for what they consumed. Dram shop liability in NC is similar to Nevada.  Typically the get around is proving they served alcohol to someone who was visibly drunk. It's a negligence claim similar to dram shop liability but there's an additional element to prove.   Ultimately you just need evidence to get past a summary judgment and potentially to a jury. Civil lawsuits have essentially 3 phases prior to a verdict: 1) Filing a Complaint, 2) Discovery (this includes deposition of witnesses and finding evidence like videos from the bar), 3) Trial.  A summary judgment motion comes after the discovery phase but prior to trial, if a defendant wins on that issue the suit is done. It would mean there's no evidence sufficient to support a claim the suit is over for the plaintiffs.   Typically defendants won't make a serious offer to settle a case where there's a significant gray area of liability until a judge rules on summary judgment motion.   So if you have a credible witness or clear video + receipts that show someone is visibly drunk when the server got him more alcohol, you can get far enough to potentially win a jury verdict against the establishment.  

A defendant/insurer that isn’t negotiating until a summary judgment is heard is foolish.  There is risk to both sides. A good plaintiff attorney recognizes the risk too.   Good communication allows a negotiation that recognizes the risk to each and a reasonable settlement.   Only a large insurer that goes by three initials is notoriously that stupid to not negotiate until the bitter end. Now many larger companies are self insured for the first few millions, at least, and may fight to the last moment because it is harder to risk at arm’s length when invested in the persons/decisions leading to the loss. (Same is true for plaintiffs, which makes things hard for their attorneys at times as they try to manage the client’s expectations.). For most defendants and insurers, a known result and closed matter is the goal.  Doesn’t mean they won’t try the cases they should win, they will. But on the cases they win (including a trial result lower than or equal to their offers), there is frequently an offer on the table.

Team acquiring would only be on the hook for base salary

Is this why Wilson was waived, CB factory........

 

Claiming a former 1st round pick is a better lottery ticket than continually trading and adding 6th or 7th round talent IMO.

But he's still a rookie!!!Z#$@#&!ZZZZZZZZZ

 

He was a project based on his athleticism. If he was a finished product running a 4.45 at 228 lbs, he'd been drafted in the top 50.

Taylor tested athletically like an elite CB with a LB's body, at pick #104, that's the kind of gamble Howie should be taking.

What you're looking for in a kid like this are the intangibles, does he work hard, is he coachable?

$24M in 2022 and $27M in 2023. They would probably extended him though.

No it isn't.  That's the kind of pick you make in the 5th round or after.  

A 3rd round pick is a 3rd round pick.  It's not where you take a gamble, especially on a position Howie has proved he has no idea how to draft.

Jackson probably. They have to activate him by Monday or he's done for the season.

Doesn't $19 million take up their entire cap space in one shot?

They've already protected Howard on the PS, so they have another week to move him to the 53, if they choose.

Meh. Top 11 guy who flamed out twice in less than 5 years isn't much of a lottery ticket.
