one of the worst motorcycle crashes I ever worked with, fat husband wife couple heading up to milwaukee to go see the harley davidson factory. Both on their own boomer bike. 

They both crash rounding a curve, no one is quite sure why. Husband goes first through the air. His right arm gets cut off at the elbow by the barrier wire around the curve and goes off into the woods. He slams into a tree, transverse fracture of the femur, broken ribs, etc.

wife goes next. she misses the cable, but pulps both of her legs slamming into a tree. 

When the EMTs got there, a totally dazed husband SOMEHOW walks up to them, holding his severed arm, and says "do you need this." wife is just putty from the waist down.

By the time I got with him both had massive external fixations and we needed three people to get the wife onto a bed pan. Husband was just shocked, poor guy. We managed to get them the same room, and eventually the husband had us fake him a nasal infection so he could get his own lmao

late winter in asheville we'll always have a randomly warm day, and when that happens every dumb fat boomer with a harley he leaves the neighborhood with like 5 times a year decides to ride the blue ridge parkway.

Problem is the blueridge has tons of shade, and you can see ice on on there well into may. These idiots don't realize that and go up there humming along. Then they hit the black ice and put it on the ground. 

Every time there's a warm day Mission just offers time and a half to get more Emed people in there because we all know what's going to happen

Damn that’s brutal RIP Cedric. 

I love motorcycles but find it to not be worth the risk. You can be the safest and most aware motorcycle rider ever and all it takes is one driver not paying attention or on the phone for a split second and you’re dead or seriously injured, even at low speeds.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
