Fantasy Football News and Rumors

Also, one person is suing over a concussion.

Well you knew that was coming as soon as they found out he was an NFL player.

Saw this quote from a local news affiliate.

Crazy, but this is Texas.

"Per a recently obtained police report--10.8 grams of marijuana was found in the Lamborghini Rice was driving, which is a state jail felony amount in Texas," WFAA reported. "The punishment for a state jail felony in Texas is a sentence of incarceration in the state jail of 180 days to two years and a fine of not more than $10,000."

That's actually not TX laws, I'm a cannabis user that travels regularly. 4 ounces or less is a misdemeanor

Your local news affiliate both didn't know its own state law and is too stupid to Google it. Must be tough getting their shoes tied but they probably wear velcros

Not be racist but the people that took the video seemed like a bunch of crackers. Can hear them say something about "they probably stole those cars" so I'm not going to give them any credence at this stage until someone else has info about a bag of guns

The bags and the guns charges seem made up as there is video of them leaving the scene not carrying anything as they walked along the freeway.

Yeah, I looked it up. Was surprised by the quote, but there is murkiness in some Texas laws so I thought they had something.

At this point I think there's enough here for the NFL to do something even if the police don't. I still have a hard time thinking he's going to get any kind of jail time since it's a first offense. I could see them taking his driver's license and him getting a fine, but none of the injuries were serious enough to warrant any kind of arrest and I'm not so sure that's even enough weed to matter because you know it wasn't his and he doesn't even know that got there. LOL. The real question is whether the Chiefs draft a wide receiver now anticipating that he might get suspended.

I believe Arizona and maybe New Mexico would be the only states with harsh enough weed laws to make 10 grams a felony. That's not even $100 worth of weed unless they're getting ripped off

Have you looked up the laws for reckless endangerment? So many pieces to the puzzle defining what it is, it makes my head spin.

Well people sue over coffee they spill on themselves in a drive-thru so I am not surprised lol

that would've been coming as soon as you saw 'Lamborghini' or "Corvette" on the car that hit you, NFL player or not

Hey, he deserves it just for being such an idiot.

 

[Chef99]

In any event, I guess we know why he waited four days.

No under the influence charges here.

 

[TREFF]

the whole thing just sucks though ya know? Christ I remember my early 20's..thank God I didn't get caught, and thank God even more, that I didn't kill anyone, multiple times. But you know what? the repair bills didn't stop me form doing it again, and again, neither did a little fine here, or there, nor the restitution for the sign I ran over..nope.


What stopped me from being a fucking idiot was a judge finally putting me in my place, and the weekend in jail he gifted me.

I pray someone in the Justice system of Texas and/or Goodell does the right thing by this young man

been there, did that too

You have to wonder about leaving the scene, after all the cars were in his name (leased or owned) so what was he thinking? Have to figure he had something to hide. Which is why they have laws about leaving the scene.

Those injuries and whether or not the injured have the option to not press charges (after catching a TD from Rice's bank account) is what I think all of this comes down to.

If the fact that there are injuries dials it up to a felony automatically, chiefs are taking a WR or 2 in the draft, probably should regardless

Could be if he (they) stayed, breathalyzer and other tests would come into play. Just speculating here.

This would be way worse if he stayed.

The cannabis or even the accident probably won't garner a harsh sentence. However leaving the scene of the accident could be a different matter, as the video of them leaving their vehicles and reporting days later is in the public eye and I would think the legal system would want to convey THIS IS NOT OK. I'm sure Rice has some big money law team representing him so who knows though.

His lawyer is Texas state senator Royce West. I'd imagine he's got some clout behind him.

If the Chiefs move to Texas they'll clear him of all charges.
