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.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
