Waiting for X-rays but I think I will be okay.  I am not going to lie, it's pretty scary to have a car accelerate toward you and not being able to get out of the way.   I guess all things considered, I was lucky it wasn't more serious.   

Quote from: Jclayton92 on Today at 03:18:35 PMIt also matters where it happened even though it shouldnt. I grew up in Mississippi but spent the past 12 years of my life in Los Angeles. I go back to the Southeast for work and Mississippi when going to most of the Ole Miss games in the fall and the law is completely different.

Los Angeles cops have to deal with so much that they aren't so petty. They aren't going to pull over someone for a failed signal, tag light being out, or anything small/petty.

Mississippi/Southeast cops I have found will find any minor infraction or reason to pull someone over.

These cops were clearly not prepared for what they were dealing with and over reacted to the situation. You would likely have not seen the same reaction to something so insignificant or the rush to detain and arrest if this had been in or around a major metropolitan area.

Just my opinion though.

Well said.

Wow!
So sorry to hear this. Take good care of yourself.

Rich - so sorry to hear that my friend.  Strong recovery.

Quote from: Jclayton92 on Today at 05:20:30 PMYou also thought Gary Brightwell was the next Barry Sanders.

Just saying Jones has a significantly better chance of being an elite Qb than Brightwell does of being Barry Sanders.

now that he's gone the truth can be told
The Giants pandered to Barkley for 5 seasons
no one else had any chance to really contribute

Barkley was the ordained RB.....a gold jacket was predicted.  He was a huge disappointment and that was that

Rocky Thompson was a better pick

maybe this 4.27 human bowling ball 5 foot 5 200 lbs can be somebody
time will tell

there is no longer an owner of the RB position...its wide open

Feel better
Wow that's awful

Hope you are ok

 I remember this night very well. As much as we were all Mets fans, and I didn't have Pic in pic on my TV. I set up a portable TV right next to my main TV. The Giants were on the main TV and the Mets on the smaller portable. The Giants/Redskin game was my main concern, but having the Mets winning was a much-added plus.

I spoke with Rich. He sounds pretty good for such a horrific experience. He had an Angel watching over him because this could have been tragic. As Steve said, it may be painful as the adrenaline wears down. Hopefully they give him some pain meds. His boss lives in the next town and is going to drive him home after the tests.

 As many of you know, we have other forums on this site. (maybe some don't know). One of the best things about coming here besides talking football is going over to the Front Porch.
This is really a very slow time of year for football fans and I understand many don't frequent this forum as often as you might during football seasons, but if you do and want something to just chat about, take a look at our Front Forch part of the site.

This is NOT a place for anything that would get anyone upset, no politics, no anything that would be characterized as even confrontational. Just guys (and maybe a lady or two) talking things we might just chat with among friends.  We have a great core group of posters that basically frequent this forum every day and we can always use more.

So, for example, we have many great ongoing threads.
Heard a good joke or seen a good cartoon, let us know. (over 100 pages long now)
Seen a good TV series or movie or would like someone else's opinion on what is good on TV now, again, tell us.
We  have a terrific thread on photography (have a pic you want to share, post it here)
I have an ongoing thread on baseball rules I post questions and we discuss any sort of rule you might want to know about)
Have a favorite Female rocker, let us know in this great thread
We also have several ongoing threads on games we play online (We had a 200-page thread on Wordle alone)
If you like music, tell us your favorites and ask others who they like
We also had just a wonderful thread about memories from the 1960's (many of us are old)

I can go one for a while, but you get the point. There are no controversial threads, just some guys discussing things other than football. So stop by and join in some of our discussions.

Quote from: Sem on Today at 05:21:37 PMDamn, Rich. I hope you're ok and have no serious injuries. As you know sometimes issues can pop up after the "excitement" fades away. Hoping for no hidden concerns, and that you are able to come back from this quickly and without pain.

I was able to limp/walk to the ambulance.
