I hope this isn’t interpreted as victim blaming, because I’m not, but it really is true nothing good happens after midnight. You can be doing everything right and it just takes one asshole and your life is over.

Well, when I was in college I would say a lot of things happened after midnight that I have a lot of fond memories of.

But it's certainly more dangerous being in a car on the interstate after midnight especially on a weekend.

Avoid the left hand lane on the interstate in such conditions. Drunk idiots that go the wrong way will get into what they think is the right hand lane, but is actually the left hand lane going the opposite direction. It probably doesn't happen all that often, but a head-on collision at interstate speeds is disastrous.

Something like this happened near where I live about a month ago.

A 68 year old man got confused and somehow got into the wrong lane on the interstate. He was going south in the northbound lane. He hit another vehicle head on. That car had 3 people in it.

The irony is he was sober and the people he hit were all drunk. All 4 died.

Driverless cars that work can't come soon enough.

Terrible. Prayers to his family

Its not, its just something that is difficult for young people to understand. Hell, I was out late a lot in my 20s. I think it's something you have to get out of your system, but you also need to be around people who make good decisions. This is just sad. That kid had a lot to live for, he was going to get a chance to make it. All gone in the blink of an eye.

I’m not entirely sure of the tone of this comment, but you should know that it does not appear Jackson or his two friends played any role in the fault of this accident. Police say they were struck by a vehicle attempting to change lanes at a high rate of speed and were pushed off the road where they struck multiple tree stumps.

Jackson and his two friends died in the wreck, while three others in the offender’s car as well as the driver of a third vehicle all survived.

Every other sentence that coaches/teammates speak to Rashee needs to be, "A Vikings rookie and 2 other people died because somebody was a reckless dickbag with a fast car"

One addendum. "Be thankful as hell that the consequences of your mistakes are no worse than what they are. You are getting off very lightly."

That's great advice for Rashee's dad to give him. Football coaches need to be more focused on making him the best football player they can. Spare the whole organization the moral lessons like it's the last scene of a Cosby Show episode

Respectfully, I disagree. Maturity makes for a much better player and teammate. Immaturity will make a player into a locker room cancer. Every player can become better, but it takes maturity to listen to a coach and accept that you have things to learn. The first step is to accept responsibility for your actions and a major part of that, for Rice, would be accepting the fact that he is very, very lucky that his incident is no worse than it is.

Nope father's are the only ones allowed to give life advice. Coach Reid might lose a couple of years from his coaching life if he got involved like that!
