After rading your posts, Rodney has come clean about having blood on his hands. Although he no longer watches races, he used to be a big NASCAR fan. Using your line of reasoning, he has decided that he was responsible for Dale Earnhardt's death and had a mental breakdown as a result. Tampa just left the hospital. A team of highly-resecpted psychiatrists is working on Rodney. They're trying to convince him that it was okay to watch NASCAR because he (Rodney) DID in fact take his life in his hands every time he tried to drive.
Hopefully, Rodney will regain his senses and come out of this, but he's feeling a ton of guilt and the doctors have him on heavy pain medication. When Tampa left the ICU, Rodney was so screwed up he was mumbling *****Vesperae's name.
That's a sign of something -- we're just not sure what.
