Now suing the garage after mistaking her accelerator for the brake. 

Just read that somewhere as an 'insider' comment. Anyone else see that anywhere?

Damn, the perp in the car is what 20 friggin years old? 

My opening question is did the city have enough police there to control what was clearly going to be a conflict? 

Not that 100 riot police could have stopped a guy in a car intent on killing people. Seems like a copycat of some of the terrorism in Paris and London, using cars or trucks for killing human beings. 

Waived after just one year basically. They moved UP in the 2nd round to draft him. In college he was a perfect 198 out of 198 on PATs. And we thought it was bad with Walsh. How contradictory is kicking in the NFL, right? On one hand, you understand the importance of making FGs and PATs as you draft a talent like this so high, yet you don't give him time to possibly work thru issues and give up on him after just one year. Its because you can't afford the time as a team to let him work it out: it literally means leaving points off the scoreboard. It directly correlates to points in a concrete way. 

Why ever draft a kicker before round 7? Let some other team work thru the rough patches and get a more mentally tough guy down the road.

Two Minnesota Vikings rookies with high expectations got their first chance to put on a purple jersey and face off with another team on Thursday night. Dalvin Cook got nine touches in his debut and Elflein played a large chunk of the game with the second team.On Saturday, the team was back at Winter Park for practice. Head coach Mike Zimmer said Cook didn’t get a ton of opportunities to show all of his talent, but did demonstrate some competitiveness.
“Elflein played very, very well,” Zimmer said. “He had one bad snap, but he played really well. He missed one guy, he took a poor angle.”

I didn't know they changed the horn to white. Is this a special helmet or permanent?
