4th round pick. Sounds like it was another drunk drivers fault... Sad

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.

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

We could just give them Toney.

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.

I just love the ridiculous idea of Andy taking 10 seconds to remind Rashee about how his incident could have killed somebody (including Rashee himself) and then needing to leave practice and go home early because the talk zapped him of all his coaching energy and focus.

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.

You think the organization that invested millions in the guy and plan on him being a key piece in the future success of the team should just keep their mouths shut, because it's Rashee's father's responsibility to give Rashee advice and moral lessons? It's so painstakingly exhausting for a coach to have a passing word with a player unless that word has to deal with coaching?

**** your dense. You cannot be a real person.

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!

Driverless cars that work can't come soon enough.

Khyree is the 3rd Vikings player to pass away from a car accident, the other two is Tarvaris Jackson and Jeffrey Gladney, it is just unfortunate

Khyree is a cornerback, not wide receiver so Toney will not be able to replace Khyree

Life is a precious gift that sadly we have lost a lot of respect for.

It is rare that you will go through the journey without major obstacles and challenges.

It appears that their lives were taken due to no fault if their own.

Sad day for the NFL

That is an astute observation
