wcblack34 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 This is the time he got caught. Not likely the only time he’s done it. Same with Ruggs. It’s stupid. That said, certainly not a cuttable offense. Just really, really dumb. Hopefully he learns or someone from the organization puts the fear into him. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 140 mph, one travels 1/140th of an hour per mile. 40 yds is 1/44th of a mile (1760 yds / 40 = 44 ). ...... arithmetic ....... One would travel 40 yds in 360 / 616 ths of a second. Rounded; 0.6 second Not even Rich Eisen is that fast!!! Edited July 20, 2023 by Purplexing to correct spelling of rounded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrplChilPill Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 It's not a "mistake" to go 140. That's quite intentional. Does anyone think this is the first time he's gone this fast or close to this fast? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone on the Vikings roster is a leader and gets in that freaking kids ear. PS A "Lamborghini Urus" is a ugly *** car! What it is just some fancy version of a Subaru Hatchback? If you are going to buy a fancy nice car then do it. Edited July 20, 2023 by Ozzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not how to use that aphorism. i learned a new word today: aph·o·rism noun a pithy observation that contains a general truth, such as, “if it ain't broke, don't fix it.”.

Addison wasn’t under the influence. Why create fake outrage over scenarios or variables that didn’t occur? Scenarios and variables that can just as easily happen going 60 mph. A 21 year old, in a sports car, made a dumb decision and got a speeding ticket. As Leber stated, hopefully it’s a learning experience. It’s not a big deal. Undermining going 85 over the speed limit is crazy. If there's no consequences for your actions, then you don't learn anything. Letting him think it's no big deal makes him more likely to do it again. What he did was incredibly reckless and could have killed someone just as easily as someone driving under the influence. In fact it might even be more concerning that he did this under a clear, and sober mind. Yes I do hope he learns from it, he's incredibly talented and we spent a 1st round draft pick on him. He's incredibly lucky. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for people to try and make the outcome more serious than what it was by adding their “what if” scenarios, it just creates fake outrage for the sake of being outraged by something. Wanting to admonish, or even punish, him for something that didn’t happen is just ridiculous. Edited July 20, 2023 by SemperFeist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if he'd driven drunk and not killed anyone, no biggie also? Just because you got lucky doesn't mean we should downplay how dangerous this is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s being punished according to the law that he broke, and the team will address the incident with him. What else do you want? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad People Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Between this and his injury during mini camp its not a great start to his career. Isnt the smartest move by him but hes young and dumb and hopefully he can learn from this mistake. Weve all been there in our younger years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to inject "what if" scenarios into the discussion, the original topic is clearly not significant enough to warrant a strong reaction.
