Do you put a seatbelt on when riding in a cab?

I'm up here cabbing it around Chicago this week and my cab almost got t-boned. Then I started thinking back, and I can't recall ever wearing a seat belt in a cab. I've been in thousands of cabs and even a few rikshaw's (here's to you San Diego) and I have never clicked a seat belt. Not even if I ride in the front. Yet I am a habitual seatbelt guy in my own vehicle.

Things that make you go hmmm.

for some reason it just never seemed to be the right thing to do. Isn't that wierd?

In 2002 I went to France with my then father in law and we got a cab from the train station to the hotel. At a light, 2 guys on a scooter pulled up next to us and the guy on the back reached into the car and started what appeared to be punching the cab driver in the head. The light turned and the driver went after these guys, so we were in Paris for 15 minutes and involved in a crazy car/scooter chase down alleys and big streets, the driver screaming in French....they lost us and we finally figured out that the guy on the back of the scooter was trying to steal the drivers sunglasses. That was the one time I buckled my seat belt in a cab, as we were being thrown around the back of this little car.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      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.
