Was that the game that caused a lot of colorblind people to complain?  And I feel like the NFL even responded?  
 

If so, that actually caused me to think about what colors I used in my technical designs from that point forward.  Before I would often use blue and red arrows in the same diagrams. 

My team used to put together status reports using Red/Amber/Green to indicate criticality.  I made them use certain shades of red and green that I could tell apart from each other.

I think the issue is we haven't seen what Sermon can do yet and usually everyone favors the unknown

The Eagles barely activated Sermon after picking him up off waivers from the 49ers, who cut him in favor of an UDFA.  He was less than spectacular at the 49ers.  Eagles lost Sanders in FA and signed Penny then traded for Swift.  In free agency they also signed Scott to a contract with a $1.08 million guarantee.  He may be unknown to some but not to the Eagles nor really the rest of the league.

I don’t think I’m color blind but the hour long debates of a dress or shoe color with my wife has me questioning things.

Father of Georgia player Devin Willock sues school, Jalen Carter for $40M in fatal crash

School’s exposure is limited because the State liability is limited. Most of that $40 million is targeted at Carter.

This doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. How could Carter be liable other than indirectly to the other driver’s death? He didn’t drive the car that killed the son, He wasn’t drinking, the son and driver were. 
 

Driver was directly responsible, school employed the driver and was the reason son was comfortable riding in that car… there’s some level of negligence with street racing and enticing the driver to do the same, but why would that make Carter negligent toward what happened to the people the driver was responsible for?

I think they were just hinting at the kelly green for that game less so that’s what the jersey is. I’d be also disappointed if that was it as we did that back in 2010 and these were supposed to be 90s 

Maybe Xmas colors since it’s Fox and they have the Xmas day game?

people freaked out about Harper’s contract when he was hitting .242 after his first 75 games 

My father, who was a big baseball fan in the '40s, '50s', and '60s but who is only a casual observer these days and pretty much was unaware of who Bryce Harper was prior to being signed by the Phillies, assured me after about thirty games into his contract that he was "just a .230 hitter" and was a laughable addition to the team.

Carter is not liable for 1 cent unless he loses which he won't.

I went fast while you also went fast in a car driven by a drunk so the fault goes to... you guessed it, the drunk!

No, I've always thought Turner was overrated. I've trashed the guy for years going back to his Nationals days. I've been consistent I think all Nationals prospects are overrated including Juan Soto who's more overrated than Turner is. When Soto got traded you'd think Barry Bonds in his prime got dealt. Dude hit like 220 for SD last year, is hitting like .185 for them this year. All the dude does is swing from his heels every AB. But Mike Rizzo exchanges inside information to media people for positive press about his prospects, so every Nationals prospect will be ridiculously hyped and that's why all of them never end up living up to the hype. Whether it be Strasburg, Robles, Soto, Taylor, etc.

Bryce Harper is pretty good, y'know.

This is where it gets complicated.  The state and its employees have Sovereign Immunity.  (Founded in old English Common Law, basically you couldn’t sue the king.) Sovereign immunity differs by state and with some waivers. In GA, the Tort Claims Act waived some immunity but capped damages.  Basically $1 million per person, $3 million per event.  Now if gets a little tricky in that the University has alleged the driver was not in course and scope of employment.  (Not working at the time, hence not their agent.). Further complicating matters is the vehicle she was driving was apparently owned by the athletic association, not the university.  The driver was granted limited use of the vehicle, and given the age, I imagine that is documented and probably signed by the driver.  I probably specifically excluded using the vehicle for personal use and driving after having consumed any alcohol.  The association has asserted she was not authorized to be using the vehicle. That does two things, it puts serious doubt on a negligent entrustment claim against the association as the vehicle owner (she was not their agent) and when coupled with the University’s assertion she was not working at the time adds credence to her using the vehicle outside of the limited authorization she had.  Then there is the issue of her using the vehicle without express or implied permission.  A person using an insured vehicle without permission is barred from coverage under most automobile insurance policies.  There is risk for the association and insurer, but also substantial risk for the plaintiff as well, so that case will settle.

Now comes the tenuous case against Carter.  There will be the argument that in racing the driver, Carter incited reckless driving resulting in the passenger’s death.  There will be issues of duty owed (measure of liability), intervening cause etc. but likely the judge won’t rule on these until he has to do so (summary judgment motions) and after the other defendants have settled.  While Georgia passed a tort reform bill that targeted ending joint and several liability (basically one defendant can be targeted to fund the settlement, basically targeting deep pockets), their Supreme Court gutted apportionment to non parties in Harper.  By settling, the state, driver and association become non parties.  There may be some offset from the settlements, but make no mistake, the deep pocket may well be Carter thus making him a target. 

That’s how I would play it if I were the father’s attorney and basically challenging the association or Carter to be the last defendant standing.  Getting settled with cost but being the last to settle will cost more.  Either way, the University’s exposure is capped.

And silly Roob was offended Carter didn’t take accountability.  Carter should decline comment on the incident as a whole other than expressing sympathy for the death of his friends.

If Jalen Carter wasn’t in the car with him, what does he have to do with the suit?

Nothing. It’s a blatant money grab. Sue the drunk driver’s estate. For Christ sake, he’s suing the car dealership that provided the Jeep to Carter. This guy is just shooting a 12 gauge at anyone he can name and hoping something hits.

In a case where someone was participating in an illegal drag race and the other participant was killed, there could be both criminal and civil ramifications.

 

 

 

 

On the criminal side, charges could range from reckless driving to vehicular manslaughter or even murder, depending on the specifics of the case and the jurisdiction.

 

On the civil side, the family of the deceased could potentially bring a wrongful death lawsuit against the surviving racer. They would need to prove that the surviving racer owed a duty of care to the deceased, that this duty was breached through the act of illegal racing, and that this breach caused the death. The standard of proof is lower in a civil trial, so even if a criminal trial did not result in a conviction, a civil trial still might.

 

Ridiculous that anyone other than the drunk driver of the vehicle could be found liable. The US civil court system is a joke.

How do you know that she didn’t incite Carter to race instead of vice versa?

Owner of the car she was driving.  That is the association I referred to in my post and why the case against them struggles a bit.  

From all the FA departures we had this offseason, who do you think we’ll miss the most?

I think the easiest answer is probably Hargrave or CJ, but I’m wondering how much of a drop off we’ll see from Jurgens/Steen.

I think Sydney Brown is going to make everyone forget about CGJ very quick.  I also think the combination of Davis/Williams/Carter/Ojomo is going to be overall more productive than Hargrave was.

I'm not worried about any FA departures to be honest.
