Horse finished 8th out of 9 entries, so may not even be as fast as his namesake, if it is his namesake. [Reply]
I'm sure this was discussed with everyone in the organization including Hunt. They obviously think they can help the guy get back on track and have a plan for him.
Considering we're on the doorstep of a 4th straight AFC Championship appearance and a 3rd straight Super Bowl, I'm not going to question our leadership at this point. [Reply]
We have nothing to lose with this signing. It's low risk and I'm guessing that Veach & Co researched what happened and got the answers they wanted. And then maybe this guy learned something from fucking up and having his NFL career pulled out from under him. [Reply]
Besides the gun issue, dude still has two lawsuits open against him from a high speed hit and run that caused an injury, and an altercation with a casino valet. [Reply]
