The other thread is a dumpster fire. I'm sure this will become one as well, but might as well start with a clean slate. I'll at least try to keep the OP updated with any notable news. Feel free to PM me if I miss anything good.
Arrest warrant and potential charges:
Spoiler!
BREAKING: An arrest warrant has been issued for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice in connection to his involvement in a multi-vehicle crash on U.S. 75 in Dallas in late March, sources tell WFAA. https://t.co/XL3F7oCuW1

Collision involving injury carries a penalty of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for not more than five years or confinement in the county jail for not more than one year, a fine fine not to exceed $5,000 or both. Collision involving serious bodily injury -- a third-degree felony -- carries a punishment of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice of not more than 10 years or less than 2 years. Aggravated assault -- a second-degree felony -- is punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
TL;DR, his concern was at a 2, and now it's a 4 (out of 10). Still probably not a huge deal, but there are some concerning possibilities. Overall, though, he thinks it all gets pled down to misdemeanors, he misses a couple of games, and he writes some massive checks to those he injured.

#Chiefs Patrick Mahomes said he's worked with Rashee Rice throughout the offseason and will continue to do so while the legal process plays out for Rice..
Where’s all the cut this mf guys? Probably in dc virtue signaling election stuff if I had to guess. That garbage debate gave them a gust of wind their sails haven’t seen since last months cialis script hit. [Reply]

That will pay dividends when Rice gets back
I kinda want him to serve his suspension to start the year to force the young guys to take their lumps. [Reply]
Is the lady that had to get a stitch or two in her eyelid still bedridden? Or did her Dallas version of the "Better Call Mike" personal injury lawyer get her millions in damages and set her up for commercials to be run endlessly in the Dallas TV market?
There. That ought to get the "cut Rashee crew" back in this thread. [Reply]

It's all because Rice is a Chief, and our success.
There was video evidence of Rice’s accident. That always makes it worse in the public eye. [Reply]

That would make sense if the actions were remotely comparable. They aren't. You don't need to actually see Sutton do it to know that what he did is FAR worse. [Reply]
