Haskins was a f*ckin Human being who was working incredibly hard to improve at the hardest position in sports. He made some mistakes, so what? That doesn't make him any less of a person. Brandt should never be heard from again after this. It's despicable. After that quote? And Haskins is my kid, relative or friend? There is not a place on Earth Brandt could hide. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Beerfish Posted April 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2022 The schefter thing is a nothing burger, but as usual it will be made into a MASSIVE thing that half overshadows the tradedgy. He made a mistake in how he worded things but he also was not incorrect. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 4 hours ago, NIGHT STALKER said: Noooo, not clowns...yes, you're correct about him working out here in FL...but, a lot of these guys choose FL for exactly the other "perks" as mentioned. Also, he was killed on 595 which is an off ramp/road from I-95. He apparently ran out of gas and left his vehicle and was hit by a dump truck...pronounced dead at the scene. They come here in March and April because the weather is perfect and because of the facilities being open all year. Being in Boca Raton isn’t exactly slumming either for young people with money.

rldev Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I have driven in Florida many times over the years. My experience is there is no speed too fast. Some areas are like drag strips, others like Indy car tracks. Never once have I seen someone pulled over for driving like a nut. There is no way I would ever get out of my car on the highway.

We have had at least a dozen SoFla Firefighters killed in the last 10 years trying to help people by changing a flat. All of them off duty, doing what we do - helping people. Hell, as dangerous as our job can be Tow Truck drivers have jobs just as dangerous, but without the same kind of respect. My son-in-law is State police. For 1st year it was 75% of time on highway rte 78/24 Newark to 287. Out of there now thankfully. Leading cause of Trooper death is getting hit along side of highway.

FootballLove Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I feel bad for Haskin's fam too. He was their meal ticket, hoping he got that 2nd contract. Now.....? Whatever's left of his rookie pay will be divided up equally I guess. These top athletes always buy their mom a new home, cadi, etc, and take care of their hommies.

Our station was on a major roadway into West Palm (Okeechobee Blvd). We worked about an average of 3 fatal accidents a month, and then it ramped up even more November/December. I have always been whats called a "Black Cloud" in the Fire Service. When the position of lead Fire Investigator opened, I jumped on it. Best decision I ever made for my mental health and career.

Incredibly anxiety inducing situation as it is, made worse worse by being mid day in peak Summer, with a cancer sick dog in the backseat, at the beginning of a 150+ mile drive. **** that. At least the flat was on the right side of the car at least. I'll tell you though, being in that situation, you learn to change a tire real quick.
