Matt Damon comes out there during the height of the Metoo thing and says "hey, there's a difference between patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right?" and suddenly he's public enemy number one. Why? **** if I know - yeah, there's ABSOLUTELY a difference between those things. Degrees matter. And while the add campaign says "Buzzed driving IS drunk driving..." I think there's probably still grounds to draw a distinction between driving with a .10 and a .25. Should you be driving at a .10? Nope. Have many (most) of us done it? Probably. But I suspect most of us haven't gone out there at 3x the legal limit before. Yeah - we still live in a world where degrees matter. At least they should. And if I'm a betting man, I'm gonna say that Ruggs wasn't out there at a .09 and put himself into the back of a car at 90 mph. Because man, his car is smashed. He had to have been flying.

As terrible as this is there is a point where we can't avoid the football aspect of it.

If Ruggs has to go to the pokey, at least he's going in as a wide receiver. Aaron Hernandez went in as a tight end, and he didn't fare so well.

Anyone know what the punishment is for a DUI resulting in death in Nevada? I can't seem to find that info anywhere.

The hand-wringing is weird to me. Anybody post about any OTHER drunk driving deaths that occurred nationally overnight? I care about this because a football player killed someone. If it were an NFC player, I wouldn't care that much. If it were a special teamer, I'd care even less. But it's the #1 WR for the Chiefs most hated rival. I'm really supposed to pretend like that's not relevant to the discussion or that it wasn't the first thing I thought about when I saw it?

A very sad tragedy. Sounds like he's won't be on the field for a long time, maybe ever again. It's hard to say. Leonard Little comes to mind.

Would you feel the same way if he was texting?

Damn. Looks like he’s facing 2-20 years for this.

Ruggs will likely help spruce up a San Quinton cell

To be honest, I'd be surprised.
The Britt Reid is kind of a precedent to this, in my mind (albeit, the girl didn't get killed, but still had suffered traumatic injuries). If this was any ordinary Joe, yeah, I can see 2-20 years in prison for this. But since this is a NFL player (or coach), I'd be very surprised if he does jail-time, to be honest.
