Droughns in custody in Arapahoe Cty

[scorpio]

Just saw it on KDVR, apparently turned himself in on assault charges stemming from an 'incident' 12 days ago.

WTF? Anybody have more info?

[SportinOne]

nope, but i'm guessing this took place either inside a club, outside a club, or stemmed from something that happened at a club..

[WABronco]

Reuben was a bit of a hot head, no?

[scorpio]

Reuben was a bit of a hot head, no?

The most memorable article I read about him was about how he literally gave a homeless guy the jacket off his back.

Of course, he was just acquitted of a DUI like 5 days before this last incident allegedly took place.

[ludo21]

I guess losing all season takes a toll on ya, Reuben was a stand up guy here.

[Man-Goblin]

Very surprising if it's true. Always pegged him as one of the good guys. I'm interested to hear the details.

Yea, he was a great guy, but it just seemed like he had a bit of a short temper to me. Can't exactly remember an specific instance...it's just the impression I got.

So that's who Jake decided to ram with his Honda...

[watermock]

Dunno the details. It's so easy to be targeted. He had a very quiet 1232 rushing 369 recieving. That's 1600 yards. Regardless of his legal situation, he deserves more than a minimum contract.

Speaking of homeless guys, this guy was on the street and out of football, and we rehabbed his running style. I don't know what the hell we feed these backs, but it's uncanny how we can turn a pigs ear into a silk purse. I've never even heard of Arapahoe City, it must be south of DIA off C-470. I have a friend that built a super-house east of the beltway on a golf course.

Don't forget the always famous pancake house possibility.

Ha!

[Kaylore]

I can only remember him getting upset once and it was during the Raider beat-down in Oakland. He and Warren Sapp got into it a bit. He said he was "washed up." It was hardly something that suggested he had a temper.

Hmmmm...

I don't know, call me crazy, but that's just the impression I got (and it wasn't from the Sapp thing).

But, he was a very nice, well spoken guy in Denver...don't get me wrong.

[BroncoBuff]

I heard the details .... he was coming onto the Hampden on-ramp, when a Honda cut him off. The guy was on his cell phone, but mouthed the words "sorry." That wasn't good enough for Reuben, so he angrily bumper-tapped the guy, bending his license plate frame. That's all.

Oh, they caught the other guy too.

I think Rueben went off when the other driver gave him the bird.

It's the same road dumbass. Call it whatever you want. The fact is that they screwed up and lost fedral funding. I noticed you didn't address that dumbass.

[watermock]

Do you see an I before the roadway geiniu? C stands for Colorado, E stands for expressway.

Got it. I stands for interstate. your an idiot.

[Kaylore]

E-470 is a toll road that connects to C-470 but they aren't technically the same road.

[BroncoBuff]

Just like even-numbered highways go east-west and odd north-south, the letters all mean something (though 'E' does not mean expressway), and it's a national, federal scheme, not state.

The first digits in 3-digit highways are pretty simple. '4' means a bypass of central city district and linking to the main highway on both ends. 470 is on parallel with the '70', ergo ... 470 (the entire 470 is technically the same highway) and attaches to the 70 on both ends.

An '8' + number means a loop all the way around, and a '6' plus the number means a parallel that attaches on one end of the main highway only ... I'm pretty sure.

And these numbers are planned out years in advance in Wa, DC.

the M25 is a motorway that circles London - does that help?:)

Interstate Route Numbering
The Interstate route marker is a red, white, and blue shield, carrying the word "Interstate", the State name, and the route number. Officials of AASHTO developed the procedure for numbering the routes. Major Interstate routes are designated by one- or two-digit numbers. Routes with odd numbers run north and south, while even numbered run east and west. For north-south routes, the lowest numbers begin in the west, while the lowest numbered east-west routes are in the south. By this method, Interstate Route 5 (I-5) runs north-south along the west coast, while I-10 lies east-west along the southern border.

In two cases, a major route has two parallel or diverging branches. In those cases, each branch is given the designation of the main route, followed by a letter indicating a cardinal direction of travel (east, west, etc). In Texas, for example, I-35 splits at Hillsboro, with I-35E going through Dallas, while I-35W goes through Fort Worth. The two branches merge at Denton to reform I-35. A similar situation exists along I-35 in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area of Minnesota.

The major route numbers generally traverse urban areas on the path of the major traffic stream. Generally, this major traffic stream will be the shortest and most direct line of travel. Connecting Interstate routes and full or partial circumferential beltways around or within urban areas carry a three-digit number. These routes are designated with the number of the main route and an even-numbered prefix. Supplemental radial and spur routes, connecting with the main route at one end, also carry a three-digit number, using the number of the main route with an odd-number prefix.

To prevent duplication within a State, a progression of prefixes is used for the three-digit numbers. For example, if I-80 runs through three cities in a State, circumferential routes around these cities would be numbered as I-280, I-480, and I-680. The same system would be used for spur routes into the three cities, with routes being numbered I-180, I-380, and I-580, respectively. This system is not carried across State lines. As a result, several cities in different States along I-80 may each have circumferential beltways numbered as I-280 or spur routes numbered as I-180.

Terminology

While the name implies that these highways cross state (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state) lines, many Interstates (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intrastate_Interstates) do not. Rather, they are funded federally with money shared between the states. There are interstate highways in Hawaii (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii), funded in the same way as in the other states, but entirely within the populous island of Oahu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oahu). They have the designation of H-X, and connect military bases (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_base). Similarly, both Alaska (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska) and Puerto Rico (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico) have public roads that receive funding from the Interstate program, though these routes are not signed as Interstate Highways.



Primary routes

The numbering scheme for the Interstate Highway System (as well as the U.S. Highway System (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Highway_System)) is coordinated by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Association_of_State_Highway_and_Transpor tation_Officials) (AASHTO), though their authority is occasionally trumped by a number written into Federal law. Within the continental United States, primary Interstates (also called main line Interstates or two-digit Interstates) are given one- or two-digit route numbers. Most Interstates have two numbers; there are only three one-digit Interstates in the system: I-4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_4), I-5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_5) and I-8 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_8). Within this category, east-west highways are assigned even numbers, and north-south highways are assigned odd-numbers. Odd route numbers increase from west to east, and even numbered routes increase from south to north. Numbers divisible (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Divisible&action=edit) by 5 are intended to be major among the primary routes, carrying traffic long distances. For example, I-5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_5) runs from Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada) to Mexico (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico) along the west coast (the only interstate to do so) while I-95 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_95) runs from Miami (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami%2C_Florida) north to Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada). In addition, I-10 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_10) runs from Los Angeles, California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles%2C_California) to Jacksonville, Florida (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacksonville%2C_Florida) while I-90 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_90) runs from Seattle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle%2C_Washington) to Boston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston%2C_Massachusetts). However, not all primary routes divisible by 5 traverse long distances. I-45 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_45) runs from Galveston, Texas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galveston%2C_Texas) north to Dallas, Texas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas%2C_Texas), a distance of only 284 miles. It is the only primary route divisible by 5 that does not cross state lines. See List of intrastate Interstate Highways (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_intrastate_Interstate_Highways) for other primary routes that do not cross state lines.

It should be noted that I-50 and I-60 do not exist (and there are no even-numbered Interstates from 46 to 62), mainly because they would most likely have passed through the same states that already have US 50 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Highway_50) and US 60 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Highway_60). AASHTO rules discourage Interstate and US Highways with the same number to exist in the same state, although I-24 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_24) and US 24 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Highway_24) exist at opposite ends of Illinois (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois). Some planned Interstates do not follow this guideline - I-69 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_69) will intersect US 69 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Highway_69) in Lufkin, Texas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lufkin%2C_Texas)<SUP class=reference id=_ref-0>[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_highway#_note-0)</SUP>, I-74 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_74) will overlap (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency_%28road%29) US 74 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Highway_74) in North Carolina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina), and I-41 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_41) will do the same with US 41 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Highway_41) in Wisconsin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin).

Several two-digit numbers are shared between two roads at opposite ends of the country, namely I-76 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_76), I-84 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_84), I-86 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_86) and I-88 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_88). Some of these were the result of a change in the numbering system in the 1970s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970s); previously letter-suffixed numbers were used for long spurs off primary routes; for example, western I-84 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-84_%28west%29) was I-80N, as it went north from I-80 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-80). In the 1970s, AASHTO decided to eliminate these; some became additional two-digit routes, while others became three-digit routes (see below). Only two pairs of these exist; I-35 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-35) splits into I-35W (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-35W) and I-35E (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-35E) through both the Dallas-Fort Worth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_Fort_Worth_Metroplex) and the Minneapolis-St. Paul (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minneapolis-St._Paul) areas.
Strict adherence to the directional nature of the system results in some amusing oddities. For a nine-mile stretch east of Wytheville, Virginia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wytheville%2C_Virginia), the driver can be traveling on both I-81 North and I-77 South at the same time (and vice versa) (see also Wrong-way concurrency (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrong-way_concurrency)).
For the sake of efficiency, some Interstates double up for short or sometimes long distances, as in the example above. Another notable example are Interstates I-90 and I-94, which double and then separate several times as they criss-cross the upper Midwest and Great Plains. I-90 and I-94 even join with I-39 from Madison, WI, to Portage, WI, creating the longest such trifecta in the interstate system.

Three-digit Interstates


Three-digit route numbers are for auxiliary Interstate Highways. They consist of a single digit prefixed to the two-digit number of a primary Interstate highway and are used to designate spur or loop routes branching from either the primary route or one of its other auxiliary routes. A spur route is one that deviates from its parent and does not end at another Interstate; it is given an odd first digit. A loop route is one that returns to its parent; it is given an even first digit. The number given to the first digit of a route that branches from the parent to end at another Interstate depends on the state; some consider these routes spurs and assign odd first digits, while others consider them loop connectors giving them even first digits.
When letter-suffixed two-digit Interstate (see above) were in abundance, their auxiliary routes were given a number without a letter suffix.

Due to the large number of these routes, auxiliary route numbers may be repeated in different states along the mainline; but no two three-digit Interstates in the same state can share a number. For instance, I-90 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-90) in New York (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York) alone has a full set of three-digit Interstates - I-190 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-190_%28NY%29), I-290 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-290_%28NY%29), I-390 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-390_%28NY%29), I-490 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-490_%28NY%29), I-590 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-590_%28NY%29), I-690 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-690_%28NY%29), I-790 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-790_%28NY%29), I-890 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-890_%28NY%29) and I-990 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-990_%28NY%29).
Closed loops usually retain a single designation for the entire route. For example, Cincinnati (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati%2C_Ohio), like many other cities, features a large loop around the city that intersects with the primary routes I-71 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-71), I-74 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-74), and I-75 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-75). The entire 84-mile loop is labeled I-275 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_275_%28Ohio%29).

Of course, there are exceptions to these guidelines:

A contiguous loop surrounds the entire Minneapolis-St. Paul (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minneapolis-St._Paul) Metro area. I-94 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-94) intersects the loop in two spots and runs directly through it separating it into southern and northern halves; the southern half of it is labeled I-494 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-494_%28MN%29) while the northern half of it is labeled I-694 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-694_%28MN%29).
New York City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City) has numerous spur routes off of I-78 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-78) and I-95 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-95), but none of I-78's spur routes actually intersect with I-78.
Oakland, California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakland%2C_California) has an auxiliary route numbered I-238 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_238), yet there is no I-38.
Even the suffix route rule had an exception, present day I-184 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-184_%28ID%29) in Idaho (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho) used to be I-180N.

Exceptions

Interstate 238 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_238) near Oakland, California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakland%2C_California) is one of two major exceptions to the numbering scheme, as no Interstate 38 exists. This number exists because Interstate 238 replaced a segment of State Route 238 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Route_238_%28California%29), and no appropriate number was available. The other exception is Interstate 99 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_99) in Pennsylvania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania), which was written into law as I-99 by Pennsylvania Congressman Bud Shuster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud_Shuster); I-99 (which is also U.S. Route 220 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_220)) is west of several Interstates that are numerically less than 99, and was the nearest available unused two-digit number.
Some proposed future Interstate routes have been given similarly non-conforming designations by their legislative proponents. For example, backers of the proposed Third Infantry Division Highway, a route in Georgia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_%28U.S._state%29) and Tennessee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee), have suggested it be named Interstate 3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_3), in honor of the division (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._3rd_Infantry_Division) for which the highway is named.

Not that I know of. I met him a couple times and hung out with him a bit after the KC game a few years ago at a local bar. He seemed real mellow and humble.
