I'm pretty sure the two guys in the green car qualify

 

A Philadelphia Eagles fan on Sunday went viral in the worst way on the night his team advanced to the Super Bowl.

As passengers watched from inside a subway car, the man ran on the platform to keep up and plowed into a pole, video posted on Twitter showed.

At least he presumably got to enjoy his team’s 38-7 home victory over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship Game.

Transit police said the unidentified man, who was showing off for passengers in advance of the game, got up after his smackdown, high-fived other travelers and boarded the next train, a SEPTA rep told HuffPost on Monday

 

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. - Not all Millennials are Einsteins when it comes to technology.

A 20-year-old University Place man used his cellphone to place an order for pizza Friday night, gave a false name and then robbed the delivery person after pressing a gun to her leg.

As the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department said in a Facebook post Monday, that’s not the smartest move if you’ve used the same phone to order pizza from the same company four days earlier. And used your real name.

In addition, the alleged robber committed the crime in the parking lot of his own apartment complex.

And the gun was stolen.

The alleged robber barely got a bite in before deputies tracked him down inside the apartment from the previous order in the 7300 block of Chambers Creek Road W. in University Place.

“As they knocked on the door, deputies could hear loud music and several voices inside, and could smell an odor of marijuana,” the Sheriff’s Department said. “As they loudly knocked and announced ‘police’ they heard a voice inside say ‘don't answer.’ After several minutes of no answer it became very quiet and the music was turned off.”

After some of the five men and two women inside tried to escape out a back balcony they eventually gave up and allowed the deputies to enter.

The officers called the number the alleged robber used to make the order.

“A cell phone located where the suspect had been found sitting began to ring,” the Sheriff’s Department said. “Deputies observed a loaded Glock .40 caliber semiautomatic handgun under the couch cushion where the man was seated.”

The suspect was booked into the Pierce County Jail for robbery in the first degree and assault in the first degree.

The suspect told deputies, “Man I made a stupid mistake.” He also said that he had messed up his life over “eight bucks in pizza.” The actual value of the food was $81.24.

No one else in the apartment was arrested, the Sheriff’s Department said. Presumably they had to look elsewhere for dinner. Pizza, cookies and bread were confiscated as evidence.

 

I don't know why but this to me is just hilarious. Ssshhhhh, keep it down or they might hear us. Oh.....and turn that music off.

And that my friends is why they call it 'Dope'

 

Wow. No-one else got arrested for possession or anything. That is a first. Usually cops are right there to ruin the lives of people that may be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

 

As temperatures in Sartell, Minn., dipped to -9 degrees Fahrenheit on Monday, a woman shopping at the town’s Walmart auto-started her car so it would be warm once she got to the parking lot.

But when the woman walked out of the superstore, her Jeep Grand Cherokee was nowhere in sight, according to police. Surveillance video from the store showed a man climbing into the SUV and driving off with the vehicle around 8:30 p.m. that night, WJON reports.

That man was Edward Wilson, 37, according to police — and he didn’t make it far before he started running into car trouble. At 10:30 p.m., just hours later, the owner of the car got a phone call, the St. Cloud Times reports. It was a woman on the phone, and she told the car’s owner that a man was asking her questions about the Jeep.

Then Wilson started talking to the owner directly over the phone, police said, using the name Wayne Hennen and telling the owner he was employed at an auto glass repair company. Wilson told her he’d fixed her car — and that he’d return it to her if she could re-start it for him, WJON reports.

At that point, Wilson gave the car’s rightful owner an address in Isle, Minn., so the owner could contact OnStar —a service that provides remote vehicle assistance — and fire up the Jeep again, WJON reports.

The owner didn’t give the address to OnStar, though. Instead, the address was given to police in Isle — an hour drive from Sartell — who showed up at the location to find Wilson in an apartment complex parking lot with the stolen car, KNSI reports.

Wilson initially told cops he wasn’t a thief at all, but rather a Safelite Auto Glass employee trying to return the vehicle, KNSI reports. But eventually, Wilson admitted to police that he had taken the vehicle, police said.

Wilson told police “he knew that it was not a good idea to get in the vehicle,” the Times reports.

Wilson has been charged with theft of a motor vehicle, KNSI reports, with bond set at $25,000.

He’s scheduled to appear in court on April 16, WJON reports.

 

This guy has been on a roll lately:

REUBAN FOSTER ARRESTED AGAIN

San Francisco linebacker Reuben Foster was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, threats and assault weapon possession charges Sunday morning in Los Gatos, California, police confirmed to NFL.com.

According to a news release from the Los Gatos Monte Sereno Police Dept., police arrested Foster after receiving a call regarding a possible disturbance. After making contact with Foster and the victim, police took Foster into custody without incident after their initial investigation.

Foster was transported to Santa Clara County Main Jail and bail was set at $75,000. He was released from custody Sunday night, per jail records.

The incident remains under investigation.

"The San Francisco 49ers organization is aware of the report regarding Reuben Foster," a 49ersspokesman said. "We take matters of this nature seriously and are gathering all pertinent information."

A league spokesman told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero the league is aware of Foster's arrest and will look into the incident. Foster could be subject to potential NFL discipline under the league's personal conduct policy.

The arrest is the second for Foster in the last month. The 31st overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft was booked on Jan. 13 in Alabama on a possession of marijuana charge and was later released after posting $2,500 bond.

Foster, widely regarded as a top-10 talent in last spring's NFL draft, slid down draft boards because of character and injury concerns. The linebacker was sent home from the NFL Scouting Combine last March for arguing with a hospital worker.

Niners general manager John Lynch told NFL Network's Steve Wyche after drafting Foster they had no concerns about the linebacker's character: "We were exhaustive in getting to know the kid. We met him at the combine. We had him out here for a visit. [Coach] Kyle [Shanahan] and I spent a lot of time on the phone with him Facetiming ... He's going to be disappointed [with being picked No. 31] because he feels he was one of the better players."

Foster started 10 games for the 49ers this past season, tallying 72 tackles.


There were some serious question marks on him, in regards to character, when he came into the league, and evidently Reuban is letting the world know they were quite valid...

 

Always amazes me how some pro athletes have a ton of talent and not a lick of sense. Can't even buy that with all their millions, can they?

 

lol! Setting the standard for food distribution excellence!!!

 

Hue Jackson told him he could make w

 

I'm just fascinated with how that roof pops off. Also that guy is an idiot but I don't see a height listed on that bridge. The city is pretty dumb too.

 

If you look closely, the White with yellow (which is a caution sign and EVERYONE should read) top sign to the right states the bridge is 10' 6", which is quite low... The sign is quite small though.

What amazes me is that the road is very busy, and the opposite lane just happened to clear out all traffic just as he was approaching, this could have been a lot worse than it was. That driver had one helluva case of whiplash though, no possible way to avoid that.

 

Ah I see it now. I am just used to it always being right on the bridge, and it should be. That caution sign isn't in the best place either (the passenger side on a turn).

 

I agree 100%, it should ALWAYS be in large yellow letters on the Bridge!!

Here's the problem, that truck is a single axle, with what looks like about a 18 foot body on it (I am a truck sales manager by trade), so most likely it is 26,000# GVW...In case you don't know (and why would you), in the US any truck at or below 26K GVW, you don't need a commercial driver's license to drive a truck, whether for leisure or in a professional environment. So, it is a very real possibility that his poor person had NO idea what the truck's height was. Many small companies purchase trucks this size so that in a pinch, they can pretty much throw anyone in the driver's seat so they can make a delivery. This could have been the secretary helping out the owner get an order out to a customer 10 miles away...what could go wrong?

 

These trucks are generally 11 1/2 ft in height with a standard chassis. Irish is correct in thinking the box length is around 18' (maybe 17'). I would be really surprised to find out the driver didn't know the height of his truck. Many times, a transport company will put a height marking on the truck as well. A newbie may not know the height.
STORY TIME: I was working in Manhattan and was driving one of two trucks to the site. One truck was to take a load of crated artwork to JFK before a specific time to make a cargo flight to Boston. The other truck was taking the crew back to the base. This other dude wanted the hours and was willing to drive the courier and the crates to the airport. I said, "yeah, cool." I get a phone call from my boss about 4 hours later (when I'm at home unwinding) and she tells me the driver of the other truck took the vehicle onto the Grand Central Parkway to get to JFK. You cannot put a commercial vehicle on a parkway in NY state, it is illegal. He hit an overpass and peeled the top off the box truck like a can of sardines (see video above). HUGE insurance claim. The guy ended up getting fired the next day.

 

Are we sure that's not a SAIA truck? I'm a warehouse manager and it sure feels like that's how my equipment gets treated half the time.
