I wouldn't go that far. Neither charge is a felony. He'll most likely be forced to tell the truth, get changed with something simpler than what he's currently charged with, plead guilty in exchange for community service, and it'll be a nothing-burger in terms of his career.

Well I was close. "12 months of probation, a $1,000 fine and 80 hours of community service and will attend a state-approved defensive driving course"

9 in just over a year is insane. Pretty clear they were willing to sell their soul in terms of character to win championships......

What did he actually do?


Was he driving the other car, that the team manager was racing against, who crashed and killed herself and the other teammate?

For me, it's always tough in situations where a group of people are doing something stupid and one of them gets hurt and dies. This would be one thing if, due to the racing, they killed an innocent person just driving down the street.

It kind of reminds me of cases where someone knowingly gets into a car with a friend who is drunk/high/etc., they get into a car accident and that willing passenger dies.

Does the punishment fit the crime? I don't know. I tend to agree with you but I don't know.

Cases like this one and the one involving the Alabama basketball player Miller are always tricky.

Very clear examples of bad judgement but how severely they should be punished for those bad decisions is where it gets difficult.

In the case of Carter the punishment feels about right as long as no new details emerge. He also almost certainly cost himself a decent chunk of money in the draft depending on how far he slips.

In Chicago they're saying he fell right to where the Bears are now picking, 9th. Couldn't take him at 1 with that issue but 9th? Either that or Skoronski.
