if he did do something, hopefully it was in self defense.

It was almost assuredly not self defense. You could say it was retaliation

Correct. But you dont get to ignore the facts that led to the arrest. Shooting an innocent bystander 3x in the back isnt like "robbery gon wrong and self defense"

This applies to the courts and his freedom. It does not apply to the general public and opinions.

correct, it only applies to the gov't in a criminal trial. It doesn't apply at all to what employers can do or what the public can think.

I mean, should any employer have to wait the years it takes for a case to wind its way through the courts to suspend or fire an employee accused of attempted murder?

Of course not.

Why is Diggs an idiot?

Bc he’s playing for Ole Miss?

It is always a sad situation when a young person makes stupid decisions. And you can hate that they made those decisions while understanding that the consequences are deserved. It is also understandable that someone would have sympathy for all the lives impacted by the stupidity, including the young person who made the stupid decision and threw away his potential life.

I remember the founding pastor of our church saying many years ago that any of us is capable of anything we have seen people do. "There but for the grace of god go I" basically. As he pointed out, small changes in your life could have sent you down a different path. Things like who your parents were and how they approached raising you, the neighborhood and neighbors you grew up around, things you were exposed to as a very young child or growing up, and many other things, He also went on to say it does not mean you don't deserve the consequences of your action or should be excused in any way. It is only an explanation for why someone may do something unthinkable for you or I.

Great post! Have an upvote.

So for shits and giggles, I went back to 2015 to see how many RBs logged rushing attempts each year.

The least was 4 RBs (2015 and 2022) and the most was 7 RBs (last year). In each of the other 6 years, we had 5 RBs with rushing attempts.

To put it another way - the only years we had less than 5 RBs with rushing attempts were 2015 (when we had 3 NFL RBs on the roster) and 2022 (when Jayden Daniels had more rushing attempts than the next 2 RBs combined).

That doesn’t mean we can’t get by with 3-4 RBs. But it does mean we would likely need all of the scholarship RBs on the roster to contribute. And we would be in a very tough spot if anyone were to get injured.

I seriously doubt that if you walk up and down the halls of the ops building or locker room will you find a "RB ROOM" or "QB ROOM", etc.

wtf that’s exactly what it is. Not a football player are you?

Was Diggs an idiot when he left Notre Dame to come to LSU? Or how about Jayden Daniel’s, was he an idiot as well?
