Albert Haynesworths Brother Killed in Motorcycle Crash

GMScud

Damn that's terrible. Eff motorcycles. So dangerous. Kid was going 100mph. At those speeds on a bike, one false move and it's curtains.

Thoughts and prayers for Big Al and his family.

Terrible, just terrible. Not trying to look past this or anything, but if he plays this week or next, I feel bad for whoever he lines up with because he's going to want to kill someone.

Not to sound insensitive, but I wonder if this means Haynesworth won't play this Sunday. We're really going to need him; however, I think we'd all understand if he's too upset to play. He has every right to be with his family right now.

I would absolutely not be playing if I were him. My prayers definitely go out to him and his family.

Terrible tragedy. One minute the ones you love are here and the next they are gone.

Very sad to hear this. Say what you will about Albert but no one should have to lose such a young family member.

Nothing obligatory about it. I said it because that's how I feel. They've always terrified me, and they're stupid dangerous.

Please, let's not blame the bike. If he's going fast and he crashes it's on him. If he is hit by someone else, it's on him too. He made the choice to ride a bike. Everyone is aware of the risk, if not it's on them.

To you and Schneed: I never said I "hate" motorcycles. Nor did I blame the bike.

I said "eff them" because I think they're super dangerous, and they terrify me. Note in my earlier post I mentioned the kid was going 100mph. Obviously his carelessness was more the cause of his death than the bike.

Anyway, I'm not trying to turn this into a motorcycle thread.

Too late for that. Yeah, bikes are stupid dangerous if you're going 100 mph. If you're going 60 mph and track your surroundings they're safe. I do it all the time.

I'm 200% on the same page as you. I wrote that post because I've railed against motorcycles, ATVs, and other dangerous vehicles over and over again on these boards.

The big one was back when Rabach gashed his leg riding an ATV, sent me through the roof.

I don't get why people ride motorcycles, they just serve to increase the odds that you're going to die, even sometimes by no fault of your own. In this case, it was a moron going 100 mph, so he has nobody to blame but himself.

I figured I've made these points enough on these boards for people to not even need to hear from me, hence my post. I just don't understand why anybody would ever ride one.
