Apparently there is 1 fatality involved.

This really sucks no matter how you see it.

I hope there are no fatalities, and I hope all survivors of this crash make complete recoveries.
Update: Ruggs likely to be charged with felony DUI manslaughter.
Yikes. How can these guys not get an Uber man....

This is still beyond me.

Seems like such an easy thing to do.

Yeah there's a free duo taxi service offered by the NFL also I believe.
Damn shame someone loses their life another person possibly loses their livelihood... And all the family members affected by the ripple effect of this thing.
All respect lost for Ruggs.. Throw his [BLEEP] under the jail. Very stupid..

Then his sentence should be triple the normal.

They have so many resources beyond their own money to use.

He doesn't deserve to see the light of day.

There is, but players do not utilize it for a couple of possible, if illogical reasons.

1.  They don't trust their utilization of the service will be confidential, and many are fearful their use of the service will be used against them in contract negotiations.  Of course, accidents like this preclude many future negotiations.

2.  The players earn a lot of money and buy nice cars.  In their minds, what's the point in buying the nice cars if they can't drive them?  The absurdity of this mindset is self evident.
Got him on my 14 man league
Terrible, that poor woman and her family.
Raiders just cut him. What else can they do? He's not gonna be available for a long time. He's probably facing vehicular manslaughter charges.

Hmmph
1. Then Uber, Lyft, or Taxi.
2. This should not even be a discussion. Drive your over priced mid life crisis car at 3pm sober, not 3am drunk.
If he/they really want to waste so much money, don't buy a [BLEEP] Vette, pay for a chauffeur.

What'd Dante Stallworth get back in the day? Rich people get by. He'll serve a year get a year or two probation.
Only difference is the league is heavier handed so he may not play again the way Stallworth did

We'd be looking at closer to the 20 than the 2 for sure.

He'll be on the field in 2025.
I'd estimate Ruggs net worth around 5-7M. It will be less than half of that after legal fees and civil lawsuits. I hope he has a good financial advisor.
According to this article, the prosecutor states Ruggs was going 156 MPH and had a BAC level more twice the legal limit.

Shaking my head in dismay.

This is one of many reasons why I don't drink.

156 mph and drunk at twice the legal limit. This guy needs to go to prison for the longest time allowable by law.

Agreed.

Killed the dog riding with me woman too, as if killing the woman wasn't bad enough.
156 miles an hour? Holly smokes
