Yeah, something like that.
I mean, I wasn't a square as a kid; God knows I did my share of dumb things in HS up through my mid-twenties, and some of them in cars. Street racing included. Though racing during rush hour seems like a whole other level of reckless/stupid. Anyway, I'm not standing here on my soapbox preaching/whining about how terrible these kids are. They're kids; they're going to do dumb/immature things.
But it just seems like these incidents during the offseason are increasing in frequency and the risks seem to be increasing as well, in spite of the fact that they have more options to be safer about their thrill-seeking.
Maybe the NFL needs to get them to channel their energies into safer activities. Fly-fishing, for example. Pretty hard to kill/injure people fly-fishing at the local pond.
