The family wants him to face the strongest possible charges, and who can blame them?

The DA is waiting on the tox results, then he will (I am sure) be charged.  The DA made some comments that were somewhat ill-advised about this being a "likely" DUI (ill-advised because that can in some jurisdictions be seen as tainting the jury pool).

The civil suit will undoubtedly be significant.  I hope he has some really big insurance policies.

This is sad. 

He should come forward on his own and offer a settlement. 

As far as jail time, not sure that is going to help. With most people with issues like this, it takes more than jail time for them to hit their rock bottom. 

If he has a criminal attorney that attorney would not let him offer anything.  Not to mention this little girl is facing tens of millions of dollars in medical costs over her lifetime, I highly doubt he has the assets to make her that kind of offer.

If the family has an attorney representing them my bet is they try to sue KC and force them to settle it out of court.  They have several theories they could file under.  The only way to sue KC though is to keep Reid as a defendant for now.

Then why does Biden want to make it so gun manufacturers can be sued when one of their products are misused? I'm not saying you're wrong, but alcohol kills and ruins WAY more lives than guns and you'll never hear for a call to ban all alcohol.

Back to the topic at hand. I think we can all agree this dude needs to be in jail for a long time.

I’m not going to get into what Biden or any politician does. I don’t tend to think the same way they do. But fact of the matter is you can’t ban something simply for the fact that a portion of the population abuses it.


Are we going to ban cars because some people are reckless behind the wheel? Why not ban the internet because some folks use it for child pornography? Ban fast food because it’s bad for you and some people overeat? See my point?

I do love the over-glorification, though. Read the article.

Starting with the thread title-

"Child injured by Britt Reid has permanent brain injuries"

"Family says girl injured in Britt Reid crash has permanent brain injuries"

"Tom Porto, the attorney speaking on behalf of 5-year-old Ariel Young’s family,-'She likely has permanent brain damage' "

Which is it?

Can't sue KC.

I know a guy who was hit by lightning and and was touch-and-go to survive for for a week and was in a coma...when he came out of it the doctors (not the lawyer) told his parents he would have permanent brain damage --- he recovered 100% and has lived a very productive life in the 30 years since.

The brain has an amazing ability to recover and adapt...

...for the sake of this young lady let's hope the medical opinion being rendered by this lawyer proves to be incorrect.

Bars can be sued for giving the person alcohol so it's the same thing. Right or wrong it's basically the same thing. Actually in SC all restaurant who serve have to carry 2 million in insurance for that exact reason because even if you serve 1 drink to a person and they harm someone it's your fault.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
