I paid over $300 for a automobile battery because one of our Diesels was always sluggish starting.
- It was an Optima battery and literally weighed twice as much as the previous battery.

It turned out that the problem was actually the starter...
Holy crap that almost happened to me, but my father-in-law had a battery tester on hand.
And I should know better. My teenage years was working as a mechanic while I was at school.

The mechanic work became more essential than my schooling, lol.

My career ended up to do nothing with my education and knowing how to work on a car is an international language that is always useful.

Hard to imagine it would do anything. Would anyone expect either side not to know about this while negotiating? I didn't know about it but I don't really following the league that much anymore.
It was a joke

I know the economy is crap, but that's an insane price to pay for batteries. His car must be brutally expensive to require a battery like that.

Absurd that the legal process would take so long to reach a conclusion!
That actually makes a snail's pace look expedient in comparison. :huh:

Gotta fill those Greg hardy shoes with an RKG. Its been boring around here with no criminals. The best we have done in a while is some perv snapping pics of cheerleaders. Even our criminals have been going soft.

Well, there is the owner.

Good to read. This team needs more thugs on it. Get some nasty and saltiness back on this team of boys.

Some of you seem to think a 55 year old man is frail.

Some are. A 55 year old vs a 20 something year old football player can be quite a mismatch. If only Alvin Trotman had a concealed carry permit we could have signed Wagner instead.

Hell, I could probably take a hit better now at 58 than I could when I was 20... until the next day or two, at which point every part of my body would probably feel some kind of result from it for a week or two. Lol

..wow, ...you can buy a home with that amount. NFL is ludicrous regarding these situations.

It all starts with Gordy. Get him out.

In the immortal words of Ben Carson at the GOP presidential debates: "Can somebody attack me, please" ... for $280,000?

In 2018, Fowler served a one-game suspension for the incident, which violated the league’s Personal Conduct Policy.

Fowler was on the Jaguars’ roster on July 16, 2017, when he punched a 55-year-old man in the parking lot of a St. Petersburg apartment complex. Fowler also stepped on the man’s eyeglasses and threw Alvin Trotman’s grocery bag, which contained liquor, into a nearby lake.

Fowler pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery, criminal mischief and petty theft and was sentenced to 75 hours of community service, one-year of probation and fined $925. He issued a public apology a week later when the Jaguars began training camp. wow they were pretty hard on him! :facepalm:

pretty tough guy! good self restraint, and good character ! :omg:
welcome to the dallas jonesboys ! will fit right in.

He already served a 1 game suspension for this in 2018. The civil suit started in August 2018 and just now ended. This shouldn’t affect him at all since he was already punished.
Then they will just suspend Zeke for 6 games because of it
