Damn. RIP Ryan Mallett

[jdcatty]

When it's a minor I think the that's absolutely the case.

When it's not minor it becomes a bit more discretionary depending on the cause of death.

In any case, if the responding LEO didn't notify the family FIRST, in this case his parents because he was unmarried, and instead notified the press, that's very poor form.

There was no apparent foul play, and it looks like a simple drowning.  I get momma Mallets anger at the news reporters, but it should also perhaps be aimed at the local LEO who barely gave her time to contact her mother.

Probably all true.  It is also probably true that these protocols differ somewhat from law enforcement agency to law enforcement agency and from state to state.

We're in Destin/Miramar this week. I don't remember them doing this before but a chopper has flown down the beach just about every 20 minutes. I assume that is being overly cautious due to the amount of drownings.

Haven't had bad riptides that I've been aware of. First rain right now since we got here Sat. Rain delay for beach and booze. 4th of July yesterday was awesome down here

Lots of sharks near the beach down there.  A shit ton more than there used to be.  A friend sent me a link to a big one 30 yards off the beach at Navarre, just east of the pier.  Dozens of people within 10 steps of it.

The protection of the sharks now...that pendulum has swung the other way.

I saw that video. Couldn't believe people were in the water pointing at it. I would have been on dry land watching the carnage if the shark had charged.

Buddy who loves sharks...
That's a big MF that came right up to him.  Literally within inches with no cage.
Big Nope from me.

Is that a Tiger?

I don't trust those fucks.

I was in the Galapagos some years ago and went in the water off the back of the boat by myself.  Went down for about 15 minutes without a wetsuit on, the water was about 72 degrees, so I couldn't take a lot.  I was down about 30~ feet and looked back up at the boat and there were probably 100 hammerheads swimming above me.  Couple oceanic black tips (don't trust them either) but it was the first time I've ever seen a hammerhead in person, and I knew fuck-all about them.  I thought they were like toothy dolphins or something.  Swam around with them for about 7-8 minutes and never felt threatened, got out of the water and told our guide and he lost his shit...
I had no idea they were even remotely dangerous.  Apparently they will eat you.🤷🏿�♂️

Yes a Tiger.  There were several of them there.

They are having a memorial service for him at Grim Stadium (home of the Texas High Tigers) this Friday evening.

Shoulda posted sooner but they are showing the funeral live on KATV's site. Good, powerful stuff so far. I'm sure they'll have it available for replay.

I don't think he would make it past the ushers, not to mention Ryan's dad

I thought Ryan's dad died a couple of years ago? That was the consensus on Hogville as they were making fun of Wally and his interview about Ryan.

Yes, Mallett's dad did die a couple of years ago.

The elf went on Finebaum to talk about Mallet. It went as well as you could have expected. I had to turn it off.

Did you swim with the sharks at Hol Chan?

[SwahiliSteve]

Did you swim with the sharks at Hol Chan?

yeah...we snorkeled all around there and swam. I've snorkeled a lot of places but that's the most marine life I've seen in one place. As nice as it is here they are poor af.
