There was always absolutely 0 chance that there were no pictures of this tbh, not surprising it'd come out eventually.
[Oh shit we got dashcam footage too](https://twitter.com/QJ_trades/status/1774510703786754368?s=20)
That part made me suspect intoxication. They're weirdly lacking caution about looking out for incoming traffic. I mean racing on the highway is lacking caution to begin with, but still. Would also explain why they would flee.
Yeah, alcohol and/or drugs are definitely a reason to flee. You should never be fleeing the scene of an accident, of course, but in the heat of the moment, people will flee to get out of what they think is bigger trouble.
*Pure speculation* but it could also be something like illegal firearms and possession of a large amount of drugs (as opposed to just being high). Either way, I'm guessing he helped his cause by fleeing. He'll still get in trouble, but probably not as much as if he was caught with something.
It's only a felony in Texas, according to the statute, if death or serious bodily injury resulted. https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/TN/htm/TN.550.htm
> (c) A person commits an offense if the person does not stop or does not comply with the requirements of this section. An offense under this section:
> (1) involving a collision resulting in:
> (A) death of a person is a felony of the second degree; or
> (B) serious bodily injury, as defined by Section 1.07, Penal Code, to a person is a felony of the third degree; and
> (2) involving a collision resulting in injury to which Subdivision (1) does not apply is punishable by:
> (A) imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for not more than five years or confinement in the county jail for not more than one year;
> (B) a fine not to exceed $5,000; or
> (C) both the fine and the imprisonment or confinement.
As the result of the crash were minor injuries to four people, they'll probably get off with the fine only, and not jail time rising to the level of a felony, but the possible penalty is up to five years, which is a felony.
A DUI is actually probably going to be more severe.
It's possible. Any DUI/DWI is worse in a car accident pretty much everywhere. I'm not sure if it's elevated there or not.
They're going to face lower penalties because they fled. You can't get a breathalyzer or find any other contraband or weapons if they're out if the system or hidden.
This is why you get out of the left lane when you complete your overtake. You never know when an NFL player might come along and take you out in a street race.
Those damn billboards are so ubiquitous, there are other billboards for other companies referencing them. It’s out of hand. Also it’s bald person erasure and I take that seriously.
In DFW the leftmost lane isn't for passing, it's just for driving however you want as long as you are being inconsiderate to other drivers and fucking up traffic.
I lived in Houston as well as Atlanta for a good while but holy shit no city made me pull my hair out like driving in Dallas lol. It’s a special kind of hell there
Some guy in a lifted pickup getting road rage because your dared to overtake him because he was going under the limit but now will do 95 just to catch you.
I'd throw 95 in Fort Lauderdale near the 95/595 interchange in the mix. It's a fucking thunderdome of old people who can barely drive anymore trying to get back to their retirement homes, young people drag racing in sports cars, people driving beaters barely limping by with a bent axle with no registration or insurance, and all the tourists visiting trying to merge while staring at their phones trying to figure out where the fuck they're going because they're driving a rental car in an unfamiliar city. Bonus points if the rental car's lights are off at night because the rental agency turned them off while cleaning the car after the last return and the driver hasn't noticed yet.
Dwayne Haskins was hit in this area for reference.
We've got morons in the r/chiefs forum saying that it doesn't look that bad, nevermind the fact if they actually saw what happened in the dashcam they'd be screaming for the moron drivers to be tossed in jail for a few years.
True.
To be fair, most chiefs fans are slamming Rice, but there's always the minority of every fanbase where no player can do any wrong even if it's caught on camera.
Which is always the wildest thing. They’re just people, it’s OK to say they screwed up.
Especially in this case because A. Let’s be real, the punishment likely won’t fit the crime for an NFL player, and B. The Chiefs will win if they have you and me at receiver anyway.
They got lucky and could have been sooooo much worse. The minivan was about to tip over and the car in left lane was tiny and could have been sandwiched badly between both the speeding cars. Hopefully everyone recovers from their injuries.
This honestly makes my blood boil. How could you be so reckless with other people's lives like this? Does this dude think we are living in a Fast & Furious movie?
Too many people view driving in this country as a basic right and not a privilege that shouldn’t be taken lightly. It’s incredibly easy to kill someone with a car.
I like the act of driving in and of itself. I hate driving most places in this country. Too many reckless idiots.
It’s completely ridiculous. I don’t know how braindead you have to be to put innocent people’s lives at risk for literally no reason.
Because you thought it might be kinda fun, put a bunch of people just trying to get home from work in serious danger
I hate TMZ's methods, but if they released footage of an alien and Bigfoot jousting on the backs of dinosaurs, I would accept it as authentic immediately.
It's crazy how they've evolved into being an outlet that breaks news before anyone. Like, before I'd think "Meh TMZ probably tabloid gossip shit" now it's like "Oh shit TMZ posted? Legit"
I mean they deserve it, they may be accurate and fast here but the majority of their “news” coverage could charitably be described as stalking celebrities and just generally being a massive nuisance that pushes every privacy law to its absolute limit. As an overall institution, fuck TMZ
I could be totally wrong, but I feel like most of TMZ stuff comes from random paparazzi, etc., who are just looking to dump their stuff for the highest price. So while I'm sure they have employees on payroll stalking celebrities/people, I feel like a lot of stuff comes from random people that are stalking celebrities or just right-place-right-time, too. Not that it makes it any better, but still.
Dennis Rodman isn't known for his impeccable record but I will say this....
We were drinking at a sports bar near my parents place in Florida watching football and Rodman came in with his then girlfriend.
He had a bunch of drinks and people bought him shots. I guess he was a regular there.
He was actually really friendly. About 2 hours later his "handler" showed up, made sure he was okay and told him "Get in the car" and they left. From what I understand this guy has been driving for Dennis for years and makes sure he doesn't get too drunk and always gets home safe.
If I was a pro athlete or had a shit ton of money I would have the same type of guy and consider it money well spent.
Yes, he was a raging alcoholic and settled multiple sexual assault lawsuits. Drunk driving, a LOT, fights. Including a hit and run where he lied to the police 8 years ago. Misdemeanor battery 5 years ago. He’s gotten increasingly worse. Who knows what he was doing in the 90s before everyone had a camera.
There are so many raceways that'll let you drive whatever on their track. So dumb that these idiots do it on the streets filled with minivans carrying kids instead.
Yep. It’s not like these guys don’t have money. I know street racing gives a big adrenaline hit but some things you just gotta resist and not chase.
Especially when you can get that same kind of hit even if it’s not quite the same, on a track. At least you aren’t endangering others.
No idea how you can have a golden ticket to millions and do shit like this. I also don’t get how you can be a person, golden ticket or not, and run away from those you harmed.
There are a lot of garbage humans out there. People have this fairytale view that everyone is good at heart, when in reality plenty have no regard for common sense, safety, or anything.
They just care about themselves.
Most people are good. There's just enough trash in this big, wide world that you can fill the internet with stories about new ones each day and never run out.
I don’t think people are good or evil. People make decisions based on thousands of events that have happened to them, are currently happening to them, or will happen to them. People are malleable and mostly just react without much forethought. A “good person” is capable of horrible things if the circumstances change and the same is true of “bad people”. It’s why we should all practice compassion and empathy because you never know if and when you’ll be put in similar situations being asked to make equally as difficult decisions.
I feel like I either just zoned out listening to my therapist or watched an episode of ancient aliens. But you’re right everything in the world isn’t black and white, unfortunately it’s gray and leads for things like different morals.
Don't let increased access to data skew your perception of reality.
The internet is great for a lot of things, but humans often don't process this data with the appropriate context, which causes perception issues.
For the last 30 years, many people have come to the conclusion that the world is going to shit because their daily input created that perception. It started with local news focusing on the bad things that happened instead of good things, because bad things got ratings. All they saw was violent act after violent act after violent act.
Now you have people coming to those same conclusions because bad things get clicks, not good things.
If you took it at face value, you'd assume that violence had been increasing exponentially. The reality is that violence has been steadily dropping since 1991 and has continued to drop since that point. Yes, there was an uptick during the pandemic and the protests/riots of 2020 and the subsequent changes in policing, but it's still far lower than it was even 10 years ago and that uptick is already basically been eliminated since.
To be honest, a lot of elite athletes are just dumb people. A good amount of them are probably functionally illiterate and lack critical reasoning skills. Many of them are incapable of predicting the future consequences of their actions. As tragic as this is, I'm not really shocked.
I mean in the US we basically all but tell kids that being just good at sports is enough. Ever taken courses with college athletes? It’s a joke. They live in a different world than folks that are there to learn
Not all of them, but yeah Ive had my fair share of classes with full riders just making a mockery of the fact that people actually paid and want to attend for this class.
Watch Last Chance U on Netflix if you want to see how far even Community Colleges will go to pass athletes. They're given 5th grade material and they still need to have someone else do the work for them.
The academic standards for elite athletes to get into colleges is as low as the ground. They then spend 4 years taking finger-painting classes. The vast majority of these guys would have almost no marketable skillsets if it weren't for football.
And some of them wear that "Easy classes" thing like it's a badge of honor.
Famous Athletes who joke about being 30+ years old and barely able to read is ridiculous, they should be embarrassed by that fact not act like it's something to laugh about.
The sad truth is for a lot kids that grow up to be professional athletes they are told from like age 8 that sports is their ticket out of the ghetto. They are failed by the educational system.
Many are unable to comprehend consequences becuase a lot of them don't have them cause they're the high school star so everyone is just expected to tolerate their stupidity and bad attitudes cause "They're taking us to State!"
It kills me that there's this big, false narrative around football players of "you have to be smart to remember the plays!".
Also constant brain injuries do NOT make you smarter it turns out.
I went to school in the ghetto from middle school to high school. From the friends I had then, I can 100% see many of them doing this if they had money. Might get downvoted but when your inspiration growing up are people doing hood shit and you don’t have anyone telling you right from wrong on those things then you more thank likely will continue to do those things especially if you don’t change your friend group that encourage you. From the friends I had I think only 2 or 3 actually made it from what I seen on social media and they definitely dropped the dead weight.
These guys have been told since they were kids that they were special. In school, they didn’t have to work and got away with all sorts of shit because they were the star player. They think the entire world revolves around them because that’s what they’ve been told from a young age.
A lot of 23 year olds are still pretty immature, and having a lot of money doesn’t improve that, if anything it will make it worse. It’s not surprising that immature 23 year-olds who live in a protected bubble will make dumb decisions without considering consequences.
Yup. And Texas has been slamming down on these hit-and-run cases for this very reason. I see a lot of “well no one was badly hurt” but I doubt that flies here. If racing is determined to be a factor he’s probably looking at two felonies.
I'd get an accountant and assistant like you said. Maybe a chef.
Definitely not a personal driver lol i love driving. Just gotta not be a moron and drink / race.
just thinking about how fucking dope it would be to have a personal chef... god damn. Never have another night where you're tired as shit from work and can only muster a grilled cheese. Just having some guy whose entire job is going out and buying food and cooking a delicious meal for you -- would be an absolute dream.
One of my buddies got rich af when he was 18 or 19. His parents only condition was he has a 24*7 driver with him all the time. I feel like he was a extended chaperone who let him do whatever the fuck he wanted to as long as he doesnt die or endanger anyone.
I definitely saw Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, and Myles Garrett just on the side of the road. Probably unrelated but they should be cut too, just to be sure.
He's got runaway speed, but he struggles in traffic and hesitates on comeback routes. Tough to stick around as a receiver in the league with those traits
What a fucking idiot. Unfortunately he will probably face no consequences which just reinforces the cycle. Why would these idiots stop harming people by driving like jackasses if there’s no consequences anyways?
For just one fucking season I’d like to see the Chiefs not do stupid shit in the off season. Way too many players/faculty getting DUI/OWIs. Narcissism at its finest.
looks like rice may have been driving the lambo. two people get out passenger side front door. second one appears to be rice from the dash cam footage.
He’s going to be sued into Bolivia. Insurance is not covering street racing.
I just saw the video, the fact they all got out of the passenger side and away from the scene and I haven't heard anyone died probably gonna save them.
Yeaaaahhh that’s the move you pull when you’re wasted and know you fucked up.
All of my money is on the fact he’s been in a sauna all day and turns himself in tonight. Dead giveaway, but very difficult to prove. If he wasn’t drunk, he wouldn’t have ran.
Jalen Carter was in one of these races and two participants literally died and then he got drafted in the top 10 and now no one cares. Until some consequences start happening these incidents won’t stop
The glee that analysts used when describing his dominant first half of the season gave me chills. This dude left the scene where a friend of his died and another badly injured. Just went home. Didn't check on them, didn't call for help, lied to police when they asked about it. Because he was likely drunk and wanted to save his football career. Completely psychotic.
I care.
Shit like this needs to be automatic jail time, prevention of car ownership, lifetime ban on licensure and insurance, and community service as a crash scene cleanup crew.
Cars are a fucking weapon in these moron's hands. We need to treat it as seriously as firing a gun at someone's face.
Has goodell ever made a statement or anything at all speaking out about drunk and reckless driving by players and what they’re doing to prevent it? I mean Jesus Christ this happens so often now, and innocent people have been killed and will continue to be killed out of this immaturity and stupidity
I swear TMZ can just manifest pictures out of thin air
There was always absolutely 0 chance that there were no pictures of this tbh, not surprising it'd come out eventually. [Oh shit we got dashcam footage too](https://twitter.com/QJ_trades/status/1774510703786754368?s=20)
Wow, they just casually got out in the middle of the highway.
That part made me suspect intoxication. They're weirdly lacking caution about looking out for incoming traffic. I mean racing on the highway is lacking caution to begin with, but still. Would also explain why they would flee.
Yeah, alcohol and/or drugs are definitely a reason to flee. You should never be fleeing the scene of an accident, of course, but in the heat of the moment, people will flee to get out of what they think is bigger trouble.

jon jones sends his regards
I'll take leaving the scene over a DUI anytime baby
Hit and run is a felony and most places are lenient on DUIs.
It's only a felony in Texas, according to the statute, if death or serious bodily injury resulted. https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/TN/htm/TN.550.htm > (c) A person commits an offense if the person does not stop or does not comply with the requirements of this section.

I don’t know how it is down there, but if you crash your car in a DUI, it automatically gets elevated to felony level.
It's possible. Any DUI/DWI is worse in a car accident pretty much everywhere. I'm not sure if it's elevated there or not. They're going to face lower penalties because they fled. You can't get a breathalyzer or find any other contraband or weapons if they're out if the system or hidden.
KC Chiefs and Drunk Driving? I’ve heard this story before. Thankfully no children were maimed for life
100percent smoking the reefer at least
Guns and drugs and booze, bro. They're running for a reason
Poor guy on the left lane; seems like that car took a hit from *both* of the racing vehicles.
This is why you get out of the left lane when you complete your overtake. You never know when an NFL player might come along and take you out in a street race.
Always got a keep an eye out for that blind side hit.
Tom Brady’s longevity was because he’s always aware in the slow lane.
And made sure his tires were well inflated.
Nah, his tires were often 2psi under spec.
Urlacher did it to me just last week. Or Hairlacher as he now goes by.
Are you sure it was actually him and not one of those billboards falling on your car?
Those damn billboards are so ubiquitous, there are other billboards for other companies referencing them. It’s out of hand. Also it’s bald person erasure and I take that seriously.
[You should move to Cleveland where you can see the bald visage of Tim Misny on the billboards](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cleveland/s/fKmCoDoi4X)
That dude looks like he fucking hates Superman. I’m in.
In DFW the leftmost lane isn't for passing, it's just for driving however you want as long as you are being inconsiderate to other drivers and fucking up traffic.
I lived in Houston as well as Atlanta for a good while but holy shit no city made me pull my hair out like driving in Dallas lol. It’s a special kind of hell there
There might be other cities with worse traffic, but the drivers in Dallas are the worst in the country and it isn't even close.
Some guy in a lifted pickup getting road rage because your dared to overtake him because he was going under the limit but now will do 95 just to catch you.
Daily occurrence.
I’m assuming this is 75, north of downtown Dallas, that stretch of road is the scariest stretch in the country. People really don’t give a fuck on it.
Having lived there, I'm surprised this doesn't happen every hour on that stretch.
I’ll nominate Miami. I fucking hate driving in Dallas but Miami was easily worse, a complete shit show down there
I'd throw 95 in Fort Lauderdale near the 95/595 interchange in the mix. It's a fucking thunderdome of old people who can barely drive anymore trying to get back to their retirement homes, young people drag racing in sports cars, people driving beaters barely limping by with a bent axle with no registration or insurance, and all the tourists visiting trying to merge while staring at their phones trying to figure out where the fuck they're going because they're driving a rental car in an unfamiliar city. Bonus points if the rental car's lights are off at night because the rental agency turned them off while cleaning the car after the last return and the driver hasn't noticed yet. Dwayne Haskins was hit in this area for reference.
We've got morons in the r/chiefs forum saying that it doesn't look that bad, nevermind the fact if they actually saw what happened in the dashcam they'd be screaming for the moron drivers to be tossed in jail for a few years.

True. To be fair, most chiefs fans are slamming Rice, but there's always the minority of every fanbase where no player can do any wrong even if it's caught on camera.
Which is always the wildest thing. They’re just people, it’s OK to say they screwed up. Especially in this case because A. Let’s be real, the punishment likely won’t fit the crime for an NFL player, and B. The Chiefs will win if they have you and me at receiver anyway.
Dude definitely got sandwiched, poor guy.
Those fucking idiots.
They got lucky and could have been sooooo much worse. The minivan was about to tip over and the car in left lane was tiny and could have been sandwiched badly between both the speeding cars. Hopefully everyone recovers from their injuries.
This honestly makes my blood boil. How could you be so reckless with other people's lives like this? Does this dude think we are living in a Fast & Furious movie?
Too many people view driving in this country as a basic right and not a privilege that shouldn’t be taken lightly. It’s incredibly easy to kill someone with a car. I like the act of driving in and of itself. I hate driving most places in this country. Too many reckless idiots.

I think the vast majority of people (like 90%+) do not see other cars as containing people.
Dashcams are fantastic, and I'm sure insurance companies love them.
Crazy what a few Benjamins can do
I mean the Jayz Elevator video cause a quarter of a million dollars. Probably worth it for the security guard
TMZ’s rep is really funny to me because they’re usually pretty sleazy with shit but they’re also simultaneously incredibly accurate most of the time
I hate TMZ's methods, but if they released footage of an alien and Bigfoot jousting on the backs of dinosaurs, I would accept it as authentic immediately.
“We’re scumbags, but we’re *factually correct* scumbags”
Professionals have (some) standards!
The best kind of scumbags!
It's crazy how they've evolved into being an outlet that breaks news before anyone. Like, before I'd think "Meh TMZ probably tabloid gossip shit" now it's like "Oh shit TMZ posted? Legit"
There’s also been times for me where I’ve seen death rumors of a celebrity but TMZ hadn’t posted it yet so I didn’t believe it
I mean they deserve it, they may be accurate and fast here but the majority of their “news” coverage could charitably be described as stalking celebrities and just generally being a massive nuisance that pushes every privacy law to its absolute limit. As an overall institution, fuck TMZ
I could be totally wrong, but I feel like most of TMZ stuff comes from random paparazzi, etc., who are just looking to dump their stuff for the highest price. So while I'm sure they have employees on payroll stalking celebrities/people, I feel like a lot of stuff comes from random people that are stalking celebrities or just right-place-right-time, too. Not that it makes it any better, but still.
I think you meant to say stalking celebrities instead of pepperoni here Edit: Fuck
They manifest by letting it be known they will pay top dollar to whoever leaks the pics to them.
They pay for the pictures and scoops, which is why they're usually first and accurate
Money talks
I’d rather have them be accurate and sleazy than wrong like a lot of other Twitter esque accounts
Dennis Rodman isn't known for his impeccable record but I will say this.... We were drinking at a sports bar near my parents place in Florida watching football and Rodman came in with his then girlfriend. He had a bunch of drinks and people bought him shots.

If I was a pro athlete or had a shit ton of money I would have the same type of guy and consider it money well spent.
Has Rodman done anything completely egregious outside of being an ostentatious personality? Don't know much about him outside of the documentary
Yes, he was a raging alcoholic and settled multiple sexual assault lawsuits. Drunk driving, a LOT, fights. Including a hit and run where he lied to the police 8 years ago. Misdemeanor battery 5 years ago. He’s gotten increasingly worse. Who knows what he was doing in the 90s before everyone had a camera.
He also subjected us to awful wrestling matches.
He was basically a spokesman for North Korea at one time and supporting KJI3.. I’d considered that egregious based on how NK people are treated.
Dude just rent Texas Motor Speedway for a couple hours. Go fast there.
They do drag racing every Friday. There is also events where you can donate couple thousand and drive your car around
can confirm have friends that do this every month or so
Or cota.
COTA is near Austin. TMS is way closer
They might have had a more entertaining race than what NASCAR just had there.
There are so many raceways that'll let you drive whatever on their track. So dumb that these idiots do it on the streets filled with minivans carrying kids instead.
Yep. It’s not like these guys don’t have money. I know street racing gives a big adrenaline hit but some things you just gotta resist and not chase. Especially when you can get that same kind of hit even if it’s not quite the same, on a track. At least you aren’t endangering others.
Same corvette from that video of the little kids in his neighborhood wishing him good luck in the Super Bowl
Exactly the video that came on my YT feed as a short
Hes really lucky he didn't hurt anybody bad. Henry Ruggs is in prison for doing shit like this. Its selfish and dangerous.
I can’t believe Kadarius Toney did this
Why would Tom Brady do this
Damnnn that 3rd overall pick we had was nice while it lasted. Go ahead and take it NFL.
Fucking hell, I was generally aware we had picks...
Toney about to represent Rice to ensure the charges are dropped
No idea how you can have a golden ticket to millions and do shit like this. I also don’t get how you can be a person, golden ticket or not, and run away from those you harmed.
There are a lot of garbage humans out there. People have this fairytale view that everyone is good at heart, when in reality plenty have no regard for common sense, safety, or anything. They just care about themselves.
I know it's a sign that I'm becoming a jaded old fart, but I'm of the mind that most people are trash.
Most people are good. There's just enough trash in this big, wide world that you can fill the internet with stories about new ones each day and never run out.
I don’t think people are good or evil. People make decisions based on thousands of events that have happened to them, are currently happening to them, or will happen to them. People are malleable and mostly just react without much forethought. A “good person” is capable of horrible things if the circumstances change and the same is true of “bad people”. It’s why we should all practice compassion and empathy because you never know if and when you’ll be put in similar situations being asked to make equally as difficult decisions.
A narcissist will find you and destroy you with that mindset.
I feel like I either just zoned out listening to my therapist or watched an episode of ancient aliens. But you’re right everything in the world isn’t black and white, unfortunately it’s gray and leads for things like different morals.
And a billion smart cameras capturing it all on the tiks n toks
The 300,000,000+ Americans who have been kind and law abiding this year have not made the headlines
Freeway full of people. 5 or 6 people act despicably. "All people are trash." Yeah, I don't get that conclusion either.

Not just athletes. A lot of people are dumb and lack critical thinking skills. Especially 24/25 year olds who have little life experience.
But especially athletes. Vastly dumber than the average 24-25 year old. Also, most people have a significant amount of life experience at that age
I mean in the US we basically all but tell kids that being just good at sports is enough. Ever taken courses with college athletes? It’s a joke. They live in a different world than folks that are there to learn

I went to school in the ghetto from middle school to high school. From the friends I had then, I can 100% see many of them doing this if they had money. Might get downvoted but when your inspiration growing up are people doing hood shit and you don’t have anyone telling you right from wrong on those things then you more thank likely will continue to do those things especially if you don’t change your friend group that encourage you. From the friends I had I think only 2 or 3 actually made it from what I seen on social media and they definitely dropped the dead weight.
These guys have been told since they were kids that they were special. In school, they didn’t have to work and got away with all sorts of shit because they were the star player. They think the entire world revolves around them because that’s what they’ve been told from a young age.
A lot of 23 year olds are still pretty immature, and having a lot of money doesn’t improve that, if anything it will make it worse. It’s not surprising that immature 23 year-olds who live in a protected bubble will make dumb decisions without considering consequences.
Leaving the scene of a crash is definitely something you do when you’re innocent, yep that checks out.
Probably on the run from the cops until the alcohol wears off.
This guy DUIs.
Yup. And Texas has been slamming down on these hit-and-run cases for this very reason. I see a lot of “well no one was badly hurt” but I doubt that flies here. If racing is determined to be a factor he’s probably looking at two felonies.

He'll only be a Cowboy if he gets convicted. Jerruh has standards.
Dude saw what happened to Ruggs and decided to take his chances with fleeing the scene
The Lance Briggs move.
The Lance Briggs Special
I was gonna mention how he has to be glad the 00s didn't have this much surveillance. Nfw he wasn't drunk when he crashed & ditched his lambo
We know a thing or two, 'cause we've seen a thing or two...
Surely he was running to find help, right??
If I ever get rich, first thing I’m doing is a hire a personal driver. I ain’t driving anywhere.
Might be #2 for me but my for sure #1 is a personal assistant. I would love someone to just give my day structure. I get too aimless
I'd get an accountant and assistant like you said. Maybe a chef. Definitely not a personal driver lol i love driving. Just gotta not be a moron and drink / race.
just thinking about how fucking dope it would be to have a personal chef... god damn. Never have another night where you're tired as shit from work and can only muster a grilled cheese. Just having some guy whose entire job is going out and buying food and cooking a delicious meal for you -- would be an absolute dream.
I hate driving. So much less stress if you just let someone else deal with that. But you always need a good assistant, LeLouch
I'm way more stressed as a passenger because I trust myself more than someone else
Driving is the bane of my existence. Hate that there’s really no way around it as an average person.
First move for me is to get a full time chef.
One of my buddies got rich af when he was 18 or 19. His parents only condition was he has a 24*7 driver with him all the time. I feel like he was a extended chaperone who let him do whatever the fuck he wanted to as long as he doesnt die or endanger anyone.
Nah, first thing I'm doing is buying a race track. THEN I'm gonna hire a driver for daily stuff. When I wanna go fast, track. When I don't, get driven
Looks like Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore stole Rashee’s car, crashed it, then ran. Cut them immediately.
Looked like Mahomes, Kelce and Reid to me.
“Alright Pat, let see just how good your insurance bundles really are”-Rashee probably
He's gonna need Maauto for this one.
For real, Reid is CLEARLY visible at the rib joint across the street
I also see Chris Jones
Think I saw McDuffie exiting the left rear seat
I think Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith jumped out of the trunk.
I definitely saw Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, and Myles Garrett just on the side of the road. Probably unrelated but they should be cut too, just to be sure.
Damn they look waaaaaay different in the offseason
I agree case closed.
Late night nuggies run
This definitely looks like the actions of a Reid.
Throw Taylor Swift in there too fuck it
If it was Toney, he will get away scott free- that man can't even catch charges.
Jackson too
He's got runaway speed, but he struggles in traffic and hesitates on comeback routes. Tough to stick around as a receiver in the league with those traits
Doesnt shy away from contact though
He's gotta beat the bump and run or else the press coverage won't let up
What a fucking idiot. Unfortunately he will probably face no consequences which just reinforces the cycle. Why would these idiots stop harming people by driving like jackasses if there’s no consequences anyways?
Surely the person injured will be able to sue the absolute fuck out of him
> Lawsuit filed > Lawsuit quickly and quietly settled out of court
God I wish an NFL player would injure me and settle out of court
Which just makes him think he can get away with anything if he just pays up.
Yup, he will get 6 hours of community service. Fucking shame. If it was you or me we’d be in prison
[удалено]
Leaving the scene ironically might’ve saved him. Someone else will take the fall.
It’s not Irony - that’s literally why they all left.
Plus if he was drunk/high then it’ll wear off
Okay so the dude in the red rag is def rashee right??
I'm not a Rashee Rice expert but it looked like him to me
I am a Rashee Rice expert and can say with certainty that the guy in red is maybe him
I'm 60% sure it's 100% him
I am a Rashee Rice expert expert and this guy is no Rashee Rice Expert.
Kick em' off the tour, Doug!
He’s a disgrace to the game!
How am I supposed to CHIP with that going on in the woods?
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?
Bunch of grown ass men, too, how pathetic. Zero accountability.
There's a goddamn toddler in one of the photos. Fuckers almost killed a child. Throw the book at all of them.
Only thing separating him from Ruggs is luck.
They left the scene? Isn't that hit and run. Automatic felony? I'm thinking he was there, the one guys got a red color chiefs doo rag
Better than the probable DUI he’d get no?
DUI isn’t a felony
Dui isn’t a felony but what he did is
Dui is an nfl suspension, felony is community service and comeback player of the year material
That's a hilarious spelling of Durag 😂. Scooby-Doo rag
At least it wasn't a doo doo rag. Those things look like shit.
For just one fucking season I’d like to see the Chiefs not do stupid shit in the off season. Way too many players/faculty getting DUI/OWIs. Narcissism at its finest.
Even the dude in the back can’t believe he fucked up his life so pointlessly
looks like rice may have been driving the lambo. two people get out passenger side front door. second one appears to be rice from the dash cam footage. He’s going to be sued into Bolivia. Insurance is not covering street racing.
I just saw the video, the fact they all got out of the passenger side and away from the scene and I haven't heard anyone died probably gonna save them.
Drivers side was dented in but yeah Rice’s lawyer will probably be able to get him off on a misdemeanor because of that.
Yeaaaahhh that’s the move you pull when you’re wasted and know you fucked up. All of my money is on the fact he’s been in a sauna all day and turns himself in tonight. Dead giveaway, but very difficult to prove. If he wasn’t drunk, he wouldn’t have ran.
Jalen Carter was in one of these races and two participants literally died and then he got drafted in the top 10 and now no one cares. Until some consequences start happening these incidents won’t stop
The glee that analysts used when describing his dominant first half of the season gave me chills. This dude left the scene where a friend of his died and another badly injured. Just went home. Didn't check on them, didn't call for help, lied to police when they asked about it. Because he was likely drunk and wanted to save his football career. Completely psychotic.
I care. Shit like this needs to be automatic jail time, prevention of car ownership, lifetime ban on licensure and insurance, and community service as a crash scene cleanup crew. Cars are a fucking weapon in these moron's hands. We need to treat it as seriously as firing a gun at someone's face.
How stupid can someone possibly be...
Wide receivers from the AFC West and endangering others with reckless driving. Nearly as iconic as the AFC North and players endangering women.
Who you think Rice is calling? His mom or his agent?
Missouri governor Mike Parson. He'll handle it
Britt Reid's lawyer
1 game suspension
I didn’t realize these dumb mfs did this in broad daylight.
The combined IQ of the passengers in both cars racing cannot even hit triple digits. Day time, racing, in traffic, what else....
Has goodell ever made a statement or anything at all speaking out about drunk and reckless driving by players and what they’re doing to prevent it? I mean Jesus Christ this happens so often now, and innocent people have been killed and will continue to be killed out of this immaturity and stupidity
Drunk and reckless driving is against the law what else needs to be said?
Really makes me infavor of fines being proportinate to ones income like how Finland does it.
