Sio specifically needs to be better because there were rumors about character issues with him in Oakland, and he's already had very little playing time so he really needs to be on point.

 

everybody speeds, I don't care if its a priest, theyve sped at some point before

He's not terribly wrong. I don't think he meant it in terms of intelligence. I think what he meant was that a lot of athletes make boneheaded moves, which is true.

 

Granted speeding is something that millions of people do, but as an athlete you know you're held to a higher standard because of the media presence, so you have to always be careful.

Shining a brighter light on a smaller group of people, and saying they're all the same, doesn't make them special. Doesn't matter if the topic is intelligence, or common sense, they're still just people. That's a problem with pop culture.

 

I'm also not chastising the OP. All of us generalize from time to time. I'm just making light of it.

[chrisfarley]

I want to know what kind of car he was driving.  Didn't see it in the report but I might have missed it.  Cop probably wanted to know what he had under the hood.  Probably took pictures.  I'm guessing a vette,  high-end lexus or mercedes. (unless he's a ford or mopar man)

[pgt_rob]

If that's 465 it's just a normal night. People set their cruise control to 90 on that highway.

And yet the crime and arrest rate for the general population is higher then the crime/arrest rate for pro-athletes.  

 

There are 1,696 NFL players on active rosters with their team during the regular season.  Then you have guys who are on IR or other reserve lists and guys who are on practice squads.  With that number of people you are gonna see a few criminals.  And people are way too focused on it.

 

Does it make the national news every time an NFL player goes to visit sick kids in the Hospital?  Some of them do this on a weekly basis.  

 

It occasionally makes the local news or NFL network when some NFL player takes like 500 needy kids Christmas shopping.  

 

And this sort of thing is way overrated.  I'm not applauding what Sio Moore did or saying it's ok. . . but I see idoits going 100 and weaving through traffic on the interstate all the time when I use it.  It sucks and I'm glad the cops are out pulling people over and handing out tickets for this sort of behavior.  But it happens a lot.  Hopefully he learns to drive a little more carefully in the future.

Its very easy to get your speed up to 100mph without really noticing.  Nothing major.

I've never driven above 70 in my life, this is 45 miles an hour above the speed limit. If he hits someone, they are dead. Absolutely major.

[Yoshinator]

I'm absolutely disgusted by most of the reactions on here blowing off what Sio Moore did like it's no big deal. This wasn't an incident where he was going 10 MPH above the speed limit and a cop stopped him because of him having a luxury car, this is a person going 100 MPH in a 55 MPH speed limit! Do you people realize that is 45 MPH above the speed limit? He hits someone, they are dead. He crashes and he's dead, and we lose a player on our team. There are people that do this all the time and they should get their licenses taken away. They don't deserve to drive, and neither does anyone who supports this, because they could just as likely as do it as well. 

 

He could of killed any of your family members as this was in your backyard. He could of killed you. What if Andrew Luck was in the front seat with him and he collided with someone at 100 MPH head on? These are all possibilities that you don't think of! I live in Colorado and I care more about this than you do. This guy has problems and he needs to get his license suspended and take drivers ed over again.

I was addressing only your comment that his speeding represented his character in some fashion.  In this case, it doesnt as there was no drugs/alcohol involved, he stopped, didnt run from the police and he got a ticket.

 

Now, had he had drugs/alcohol in his system and/or sped from the cops, then yeah, I'd say its a character problem,

 

but not in this case.

No I haven't, the only time I ever even drive close to 70 is on the way to the casino, and I hit 70 in a 55 once because I was late to a tourney, and I was actually ashamed of what I did. Guess Sio needed to die before you realize it was wrong.

You are wrong, if you go the speed limit at 55, you are more protected. It's put at 55 to protect the driver, traffic around him or her, and pedestrians nearby. When you are going 100, you can't stop in time if another car is close and pulls in front of you, or if someone crosses the street suddenly. You are much likely more to hit them. When you are going 55 on a highway, you can usually slow down because there isn't wall to wall traffic and you can control the car. Whether it's a highway, a residential area, a school zone, or something else, the speed limit is a fit for the unique situation of the area you are in. You have a much better chance of survival if you go those limits and crash or hit someone else. 

 

It's nice to know you are for going 45 over and give the excuse of seatbelts. You want to go 100 MPH, go to the Indy racetrack and rent a racecar. I know Sio could do that if he wanted. It's also bad that Sio wasn't drunk when he did it. That means he was in the right mind, thought about doing it, decided it was okay, and still did it. You may drive in a different country, but the laws there probably don't allow you to put other lives in danger. Maybe you're just a bad person.

You do realize that the DOT and NTSB only require speedometers to be accuracte to 8% at 60 mph, right? Most of the time at 70mph, your speedo will be off 9-10%, usually to the low side.  Meaning that if your car is showing 70, you're probably doing 75-77 actual speed.  This is why most cops wont write tickets on the interstates unless it's 10 over or more.  The most accurate speedos are 4% and those are considered certified by the DOT and it takes a lot of coin to do, therefore only your extreme top end cars and police cars will have certified speedos.  And cop cars usually have to be re certified every so often.  I learned this the hardway when I ticketed a lawyer a long time ago for doing 4 mph over the limit (40 mph zone), took the ticket to court and won.

Quit putting words in my mouth.  Im not saying it was ok, I'm not saying it was right.  I'm saying you're over reacting and acting like you are the pillar of morality, you're not.  I have been in law enforcement for over a decade, I've seen and responded to crashes caused by speed multiple times.  I'm simply saying that it doesn't reflect on anyone's character if they are speeding.  Everyone makes a dumb decision from time to time.  Some are dangerous, yes.  Does it make it okay, no.  He's been busted, he'll pay his dues and move on.  Hopefully, he's learned his lesson, but you calling for the guy's head is an overreaction majorly

How many time have you driven on I-65 north or south out of Indy? There are cars doing 100 MPH pretty regular. I would estimate that 75% of people who drive that stretch average 80-85 MPH most of the time. That's the soccer moms, farmers and everyone else. The State Police in Indiana pretty much just watch the flow of traffic and if you are not recklessly lane changing they don't pay much attention to the speed. So if you want to lump just what you call stupid professional athletes into that category you are wrong in assuming that. You should go around I-465 sometime. You will find out real quick you will get run over trying to do the speed limit. Matter of fact the fastest cars out there are the cop cars. The State Police's attitude is it is safer to let the flow of traffic do it's thing rather than to sit on the side of the interstate and risk an accident by rubber neck people who want to see what's going on.

Anyone that goes 100+ on an interstate is stupid. I'm not saying its a big deal, doesn't mean it wasn't dumb though.

So 100 MPH is accurate to 8% at 55 MPH? I don't think so. Quit making excuses, he could have killed himself or someone else very easily.

No one has ever died from speeding.   They may have died from a crash that involved speeding.  But there is a big difference in speeding and being reckless  and  driving over the speed limit and being in complete control.     

 

Also,   deaths happen everyday with all drivers involved were doing the speed limit

Ok, I'll put it this way, he died because someone was going 20 MPH over the speed limit and hit him. That was the difference of survival most likely in a 40 MPH Zone going 60. If he was going 40, the guy probably would of been able to slow down and my cousin would be alive today.

You aren't against it, I know that. When someone does it, you'll make excuses for them. Just because Sio is a Colt doesn't mean he wasn't wrong. After all that info I gave you in the previous post and you didn't learn. I guess you just don't care when people speed and someone dies. It's going to have to happen to someone you care about personally for you to get it. Maybe you'll learn the hard way or maybe not, we'll see.

Yeah, I read it wrong, but you are still making excuses for Sio. Lets say it's accurate at 8% at 60. What is it at 55, 7.5%? 55 MPH is nowhere near 100 MPH. You can't justify that at all. Even if I'm reading this wrong, 55 MPH and 100 MPH are nowhere near, it's a 45 MPH difference. That's huge! I don't know why you are making excuses for that. I would hope you are a much more responsible driver than that.

[jet1968]

I have driven over 3,000,000 miles over every interstate in this country and I can assure you that there is not a single stretch of interstate  that is safe to drive at that speed. There is simply way too much traffic at any given time of day or night. Imagine if he caused an accident or hit you kid or wife at that speed. I guarantee you someone will be dead or injured very bad. I have seen it over and over again. Speeding is one thing, excessive speeding is totally different. The big difference is the speed of traffic. I've been on 65/465 enough to know that the traffic does not travel at 100 mph. It didn't 30 years ago and it doesn't now. He endangered the public and he in actuality did it on purpose. ( he was the one with his foot on the accellerator).

I know a lot of people dont think it is a big deal but would you think of it that way if he killed your son, daughter, wife?

That's not always true. There are a lot of things that can happen that make speed dangerous that you can't control. A car could pull out in front of you, a pedestrian could randomly cross the street, you could hit something in the middle of the road, the roads could be wet and slippery, even stop lights could force you to suddenly slow down. There are a lot of times where you aren't careless, but your speed could get you into an accident if you can't slow down in time.

I am not saying it is.  I'm not making excuses at all for Sio, he was wrong, he got caught, he got ticketed and he'll go to court to get his just dues.

 

my entire comment about the accuracy of speedos was in direct response to your claim of never having been over 70 mph.  Had nothing whatsoever to do with Sio Moore. at all.
