If I was his coach, and he walks back in the room this year healthy, he would not be wrestling until next year.
If anything, get ready for endless ESPN coverage of the miraculous comeback from adversity. I can already hear Quint Kessenich trying his best Tom Rinaldi impression.

Oh and I’m sure the Ferrari social media machine will stay completely quiet through all of this.

I don't know. I specifically remember the "don't pass 3 cars at a time, at the crest of a hill, in a no-passing zone" lesson.
Yeah I tend to think that, if this were such a gray area, there’d be a lot more accidents caused by passing 3 cars cresting a hill in a no passing zone.
I don’t understand excusing him from this out of ignorance (again that’s if the facts support the reports).
 
It is past time to end the speculation and moralizing. This is a wrestling forum, not a platform to theorize about automobile accidents and discuss insurance law. This thread should be locked or deleted and the posters should return to actual wrestling talk.
On this I can agree, especially before all the facts are out.

I admit to being as guilty as anyone, I shouldn’t be commenting for now.

In the meantime, one can just open threads that are of interest and then click "Mark Read" from the Wrestling Forum landing page, or ignore the OP so they don't see the kind of threads one deems inappropriate for their view of the forum.

Each is entitled to their own process when presented this kind of situation. Communication rather than remaining closed off likely helps.

And yet some threads get locked, fine with me. Moderators do a decent job with that.

Declaring what is and isn't acceptable discourse is its own moralizing. There's an accident report and most of what's being discussed is a matter of public record, presently being discussed elsewhere in the wrestling-talk universe--I'm not seeing the speculation you're referring to. Also, the Ferraris are fairly public figures in the wrestling world and much of the discussion about them, for good or ill, isn't about takedowns and near fall points. But it's all well within the parameters of what else is discussed here.

This is a good post as well.

You hope that he is not ok? What a brazen thing to say. Terrible take imo.
I clicked like as in my mind “not ok” referred to him losing his season due to “violation of team rules” type consequences. It has already been established that he escaped serious injury so your take didn’t cross my mind.

First time here? :)
 
Are there any updates regarding his injuries this am? Hoping he can heal up before conferences...
 
I will be brutally honest. I hope he is not ok and his season is over. If I was his coach, his season would be over. What he did is incredibly stupid, irresponsible and shows he doesn't give a crap about anybody but himself.

This is more than a little personal to me. About 10 years ago, a young male did the exact same thing and hit my parents head on. Eventually they were okay. However, there were a few broken bones, a few surgeries and still some lingering physical issues.

Oh yeah, the ahole that hit them got a fine and a few points. I hope they throw the book at AJ. That type of irresponsibility needs to be more than a fine and a few points.
Agreed, it's a level on irresponsibility that should be criminal.

In general; careless, inattentive, thoughtless actions that cause injury or harm to oneself or others aren't unique to any age group, gender, race, color, creed or any other way we want to dissect our population. Actions have consequences, and there should be systems for that.

I'm still young enough to remember being 20 and thinking rules of the road were suggestions to be observed when convenient.

With that said, one thing I never did was pass in the no passing zone, it was the one thing the ol' man was able pound in my thivk skull. Hitting an oncoming car of the same mass going the opposite direction effectively doubles the speed and quadruples the crash energy,

According to this, he's facing a misdemeanor, assuming a conviction.


He's damn lucky. He could have killed his himself, passenger or the other driver. I think that would fall under "vehicular manslaughter".

Since he spent a year in New Jersey, does he get sentenced to time served?
 
We all have lesson to learn and he seems to need to learn that he cannot be totally reckless al the time because it can end in an instant. Hopefully, he learned that and will act a bit more sensibly in the future. Although, I am sure we will not see him with a shirt on ever again. :)
Or he might conclude from this episode that he is indeed indestructible.

I didn't say I hope he is dead. I hope his injuries prevent him from finishing the season. Maybe after doing something so irresponsible and dangerous, him actually losing something might allow him to come to the realization that he needs to grow up. Certainly a fine and a few points will not.

Yeah that's what I thought you said. You want him to be badly injured. Got it.
 
Good thing he wasn't driving a Ferrari. It's ranked #1 (most accident prone), like A.J. himself

The top 10 most accident-prone vehicle models of the year, each followed by its rating (100 represents the average for all passenger vehicles, so a rating of, for example, 122 reflects a “collision loss experience” of 22 percent worse than the average versus a 96 rating, which indicates 4 percent better than the average), are as follows:

10. Audi RS 7, 352

9. Maserati Ghibli, 359

8. BMW 6 Series, 359

7. Nissan GT-R, 373

6. BMW M6, 387

5. Bentley Continental GT, 388

4. Maserati GranTurismo, 407

3. Bentley Continental GTC, 426

2. Bentley Continental Flying Spur, 466

1. Ferrari 458 Spider, 563

 
Totally with you on everything, except the highlighted part. I seriously doubt this cat actually THINKS much at all, ever. Chalk it up to youth, a big dose of testosterone fueled bravado and that unwritten, wink-wink, everything is fine attitude athletes of his caliber get from the instant they start competing that makes them believe everything they do is, in fact, fine and will be OK, no matter what.

Until you pass 3 cars, uphill in a no passing zone, hit another driver head on and, reality check, everything ISN'T fine.

For years I have been preaching to my kids, now 18 and 22, to please, please, please try to stop and think of the consequences of what they are considering doing, even for a few seconds, before they do it. Even that quick self-check might avert a disaster (at least I hope - fingers crossed).
People unfortunately don't learn. Maybe it would help if the State or Mom and Dad came down hard on them when they do really stupid stuff with a vehicle. Another example, a boy who graduated with my son was killed a year after graduation in a one card accident. I looked him up in the State court system, numerous citations for accidents and speeding, a few at extreme speeds. The boy never did learn, he ended up dead, at least he didn't take anyone with him.

You really shake your head when his Mom tells everyone at his memorial service to slow down. I guess Mom should have been a lit bit better at practicing what she preached that day.
 
Yeah that's what I thought you said. You want him to be badly injured. Got it.
Please go back under that rock you crawled out from under. You add zero to this board. I suppose there are a few times if you jump around just right the few brain cells you have collide and a semi-intelligent thought is created and makes it to this board.
