one cop, who was super corrupt pulls me and some friends. we each have drugs on us. he is looking at my license and goes, hmm, pstall. I recognize that name. Have I ever pulled you before? No sir officer.

like a year later at a party, passing a doob around, he is there. hey man, i THOUGHT i recognized you.

the car chase story tho. actually this one was Winthrop Vice(security). We are out real late on campus and spot some girls in their room by an upstairs window. We start chatting them up and the girl asks my buddy to pull his thingy out. He goes ok and does it and asks them to do the same. They laugh and he gets mad and throws a rock thru their window. He normally didn't hang with us for obvious reasons.

So we run into the car, a sharp looking 80 Capri. haha. We are trying to sneak off campus and here comes the Winthrop dudes. We are bolting thru neighborhoods and then a city cop jumps in. We run thru a red light and we are going like 60-70 in one hood, i tell my buddy to kill the lights and make a super hard left at the last second. He makes it, we almost go into a deserted lot, keeps the car together and slides back up the other way while the cops go past where we were. We take so many side roads to get home and we make it.

never been chased by police. "Cant outrun a Motorola" as they say... but...

This is like 8th-9th grade. There was an older guy who we called Queerbait. We never hung out with him much but one day we were so I guess he had some good weed. Anyway we were in his car, a 60-something Ford, and some guys he had pissed off earlier started chasing us, ready to kick all of our asses (these were big dudes). We always made fun of Queerbait, but that day...when the chase started he said "EVERYBODY SHUT UP!!" and turned off the radio. It was like a chase out of a movie. He took the turns, slid around corners perfectly, just like a stunt driver. He was like nothing we had seen before. It lasted about 15 minutes before we lost the big dudes.

I've got several chase stories. I'll throw out just one for now, though I was doing the chasing.

When I was younger, I had a temper -- and I still do behind the wheel. To top it all off, I was paranoid and convinced that people were always staring at me or talking about me. And sometimes they were. I'm still like this to a degree.

Anyway, some friends and I were driving down 51 in my Blazer. We were stopped at a stoplight, and I can feel the guy in the car beside me staring at me. I look over, and as soon as I do, he flips me off. The light's still red, and I'm pissed. I get out of the car, grab my hockey stick out of the back, and start heading over to this kid's car. Meanwhile, the light turns green and he guns it.

I hop back in the car and haul ass after this guy, who turns into some subdivision. We're flying through there at about 50 mph, virtually launching over those big, rounded speed bumps that are meant to be taken at 15 mph or so. Up ahead, a car is coming from the other direction -- it's a cop who served as security for that subdivision. The other guys, scared out of their minds, flag him down as I turn off my lights and gun it, hoping to find my way out of the subdivision.

I turned down a road that eventually became a cul-de-sac, and upon coming back out to the main road was pulled over by the cop. He comes to my window, and I realize I've seen him before.

"Hey, didn't I sell your daughter a bike at The Sports Authority?" I ask. He pauses a minute and then just nods before asking what happened. I told him the truth, and he just kept saying sometimes I just need to learn to let things go.

I still haven't learned that.

      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.
