WR for the Raiders (Alabama) charged with DUI after his Corvette slammed into a Toyota 4 runner and the death of victim.

Too much money to spend.

All to waste now and only 22 years old.

Not sure if many of you are taking in the World Series but Atlanta is looking to close it out today. The stole last nights game from the cheaters, I mean Astros. Houston can't leave so many men on base like that and expect to win. Wasted a good start from Greinke. Maybe they need a bigger garbage can to bang on! LOL. I expect The Braves to close it out tonight but we'll see. Stay Safe and get your booster shot.

That early grand slam HR was the kiss of death for the Braves. Astros played loose and their bats woke up. They deserved to win. Thinking the series is going to come down to game 7. If that's the case as always in a close series the home team has the advantage. Enjoy the game tomorrow and Stay Safe.

Respect for the Colt B and sad he went go so young. He did good in his short life.

Beware that the fund is nothing more than a play by the Hawaii Community Foundation to line their pockets even more. No wonder.

The father and sister couldn't answer direct questions as to where the money is going. I tell you where the money is. Going--to the six. Figure salaries.

Of the Hawaii Community Foundation and their special interest.

Most of non-profits have turned into slush fund. Don't fall for it.

Back to real sports. Take the Under in the. San Francisco game. Good luck.

And now he's suing for wrongful termination? I'm no lawyer, but I don't see how he can win. This would only open up a big can of worms for others who were terminated for non vaccinations.

He and his attorney / s are just trying to see if they can force an out of court settlement with wazzu. They know that there is $3 M / yr left on the table and are trying to get a piece of that on their way out.

You guys right. The initial action when go through WSU's contracts, civil rights, ethics, etc. , lawyers before letting Rolo go; he get rights, too. They probably thinking the public relations, publicity, bad press going be enough to make some kind of settlement with WSU or else his lawyers wouldn't take the case. Anyway, if Rolo no like others telling him what to do, then he should just move on to another team (on Mars) or no sign contracts.

Nailed it. Arrogant, selfish, pompous, stupid. He certainly didn't learn to speak truthfully like his mentor JJ--really liked JJ for his blunt honesty most times, LOL.

The kids are resilient, young and should be able to move on. And you know Catholics are told to embrace the "act of love" that getting vaccinated as it is said by their leadership.

Guess can add liar to his resume. If he truly wanted to stand on his principles, there would be no lawsuit. Obviously he's out to get all he can.

Yups, from USA Today: "His (religious) exemption request was denied, and now he's unemployed because he's ineligible to work at WSU under the mandate. WSU athletics director Pat Chun said Rolovich was "resolute" in his stance and wouldn't change his mind. "That's a question only Nick can answer, but I know we offered and actually had multiple education sessions for all our staff, our coaches, relative to the vaccine, its efficacy and the vaccination process," Chun said Monday.

Rolovich comes from a Catholic family background and attended a Catholic high school but recently declined to say if he identifies as Catholic. His former coach at the University of Hawaii, June Jones, told USA TODAY Sports earlier this month that Rolovich "believes that he doesn't need to take it and doesn't want to take it, and he doesn't want somebody to telling him what to do. " He's a "different" kind of economics grad, IMO.

I thought that I read somewhere he was denied his religious vaccination request?

Agree, he eared it. Funny to see non-vaxers praise and support when covid really a small part of this decision. He was on his way out even before he conveniently terminated himself, LOL.

Selfish, immature, arrogant, stupid, and we will learn more over time about how he dug himself into this predictable conclusion. He is young, smart football fella, and clearly still learning life lessons.

Plenty time to learn, change, move on. High school football is calling him now, LOL. He can Follow his mentor footsteps and coach public high school. Not sad or happy, for him, but hope the kids who. He hurt immensely can move on.

Well, has Coach "Rolo" gone lolo? Economics was his major as a UH student, but in this case it doesn't seem that he's made a smart economic decision. Lost a job that was paying more than $3,000,000 per year (and wasn't subject to state income tax because there isn't any in Washington). Plus, now it will probably be difficult for him to find an equivalent coaching job that pays as much, because he had a losing record at Washington State (five wins, six losses) and will be considered an unreliable troublemaker by college athletic directors and other administrators.

What say you?

As he was released for cause he probably won't see much if any of that contract money. Same may apply to the unvaccinated assistant coaches. Maybe they'll hire an attorney and claim discrimination for refusing vaccination based upon religion reasons, the same argument to be used by many others for which vaccination has been mandated. Stay Safe gentlemen.
