I still wish we had kept him .....Imagine he and Mathis together. We could have used him last year.

Two millionaires street racing. Excellent life choices

[Poster X]

A Bill driving a Jaguar, hmmm. No one has learned from the movie star who crashed, and died earlier this year... or Bieber apparently.

Another one of Grigson's great trades for Sheppard who was and is horrible

[lollygagger8]

 Ya, trading Hughes for Sheppard was a horrendous move by Grigson. 

 

 

At least Hughes was driving a Chevy!

I bet many on this board are using this as a form of validation.

[DougDew]

I don't get the criticism of Hughes here.  Darius is the one who crashed into the tree.

street racing is a pretty dumb hobby

It reminds me of an article I read back when the State of Montana didn't have a posted speed limit, but rather it was defined as driving an "appropriate" speed.  In one car accidents, State patrols would rountinely write tickets for 'driving too fast for conditions" with the proof lying in the ditch or wrapped around a tree.  Others could drive 110 mph with no problem. 

 

I wouldn't advocate anybody pursuing a risky hobby, including hang gliding, small plane piloting, or hunting.  In general, dumb people should stay away from them.  Its obvious that Darius shouldn't do it.

they were in town, not on a rural road. Nobody should do it

I wouldn't encourage anybody doing it anywhere.  I wouldn't do it.  I might hit a tree.  So did Darius.

 

You know, car accidents aren't really "accidents" unless a car accidentally breaks.  95% of them is due to poor driving by at least one driver given the circumstances, whatever they may be.

he hit a tree outside of a restaurant.

Yes, I know.  Darius did.  Apparently, Hughes was a good enough driver, under the circumstances, to avoid hitting that big stationary object that was off the street.  ;)  ;)  ;)

Well I'm dumb then, because I absolutely love it. 

 

It help to have a fast car though

Yes no offense

[braveheartcolt]

OK. After 4 years I've now been convinced that Jerry Hughes is a fantastic footballer. What was I thinking all these years. He's the second coming of Lawrence Taylor, although not as well behaved off the field. We should fire Grigson for trading him.

But you'll abdicate people to break other rules of the road, such as stopping at stop signs, where they feel it's appropriate? So where is the cut off point in your opinion?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I encourage everybody to drive within the limits of their skills.  That varies from person to person, and who am I, or you, to say.  Police reports usually make that call.  If someone isn't included in a police report, they probably drove within the limits of their skills that day.

 

My daughter about killed us.  She was merging onto the interstate and decided to listen to her driving instructor and the police officers lectures and, wanting to be a law abiding citizen, fumbled with the left turn signal trying to indicate that she was merging left......you know........to tell other drivers she was going to the place everybody would know she was going anyway!

 

Problem was, no one was even close to her.  The source of the problem stemming from being taught to abide by the law, not to assess the situation...correctly. 

 

But hey...its the law to signal.  If fumbing for the turn signal at 60mph when no one is around makes a person feel safe, taking pride in being a law abiding citizen... I can't help their driving skills.

 

Kind of like staying on cruise control and taking 3 minutes to pass someone.  Personally, I think that traveling 70 mph 6 feet next to someone for three miles is rather dangerous, so I kick it up to 80 to pass already and get some separation and to be safe.  I don't care if I blow by a cop when I'm doing it.

I felt this was appropriate to post since it's about racing in Cars

I'd say perhaps this type of decision he made may shed some light on why Grigson traded him for nothing but we have others currently on the roster who have made some dumb life choices. Not to dismiss his street racing because of it being illegal but being arrested for street racing is hardly a news worthy crime

[Defjamz26]

The whole thing with Hughes makes me wonder if in a few years, we'll trade Bjoern Werner to a 4-3 team where he'll go back to playing his natural position and dominate.

Jerry Hughes street racing makes you wonder that?

No I meant the whole thing with him going to the Bills to play the position he always should have and having the type of production he should have.

Your daughter probably shouldn't be driving if she can't flick a turn signal on whilst riding the highway/expressway. Then again neither should you.

Unless it's ROADRASH STYLE!

She's learning.   Thanks for the advice.  We'll turn in our licenses tomorrow.

 

 

If a car is on the on ramp merging onto the interstate and you can't figure out it will be in the right lane of the interstate very shortly, unless it has its left blinker on...well.......
