Silver & Black

The Raiders have had a hell of a month, right?

Their coach was fired after firing off crazed emails that lambasted groups of people.

He deserved it.

The Raiders, as a team, didn’t seem to care. They won their next two games and their ex-coaches transgressions were quickly forgotten.

The news on Wednesday morning was way worse. A wide-out on their team finished playing top-golf, had a party at his friends home, and then with a blood-alcohol level way above the legal limit decided to drive his girlfriend and the mother of his child home (allegedly).

They’re saying he was going 156 mph and hit the brakes, taking it all the way down to 127 mph before smashing into the back of a car being driven by a young woman (and her dog).

It was about 3:40 a.m.

The woman and the dog died. The wide-out’s girl suffered a serious injury.

The driver was the least affected.

He appeared in court and got bail set.

The Raiders immediately fired him.

He’s not eligible for parole when he is eventually convicted.

Twenty-two years old.

A corvette, a mansion…

…now he’s out.

The NFL provides a car service for all their employees.

I don’t get it.

156 mph.

We carry the seeds of destruction in our own pockets.

We scatter them about whenever life gets too slow, I guess.

Some people dump the entire contents all at once and ruin their lives.

What a damn shame.
