'Meanwhile, the DA’s office is prepared to file warrants and levy charges against McCoy and three other suspects involved in the Philadelphia nightclub brawl earlier this week. The DA’s office, however, is not expected to make any formal decisions on warrants or charges until next week, according to CSNPhilly. Law enforcement officials told the site that the office was “moving slowly for reason” and “this can’t be rushed.”''

'Here's the timeline.'

'“I’m not going there yet,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters and editors at The Buffalo News. “We’ll deal with the new stadium issue when we have to.”'

'"If he wants to pound our officers and stomp our officers, then he needs to pay the price and answer for his actions."'

'While it is hard to speculate on how this might play out in the legal system, it is safe to assume that the NFL will have their say as well as to what happens to McCoy.'

'Since the fight, details have emerged slowly as to what happened at the bar, and with each passing day, the chances of McCoy and his friends being charged because of the fight seem to grow.'

'He defended anti-racism activists who were arrested after a fight at a supposed KKK meeting in 2008. During the case, a judge ordered prosecutors to reveal the identity of two off-duty police officers believed to be members of the Klan.'

'The mayor said that he has seen some of the video. “In addition to punches being thrown, there were some kicks that looked as if they were being leveled and that’s unconscionable and it’s cowardly,” Kenney said.'

'McCoy jumped in with both feet. Now, he appears to be sinking fast.'

'"Every single day was an adventure with her and just really being able to have something like that is unbelievable," he says. "It's amazing because a lot of people never even get to experience that in life and I got to experience it for four of the greatest years of my life.'

'The Bills signed Harvin to a three-year deal last March, but only for salary cap purposes. The deal was essentially for one-year, with a base salary of $3 million, plus a $3 million signing bonus. The extra two years were added on to spread that bonus out over the life of the deal, only counting $1 million per year towards the Bills cap number in 2015, 2016, and 2017.'

'Bringing in Griffin as insurance and/or to push Taylor for the starting job could make sense for the Bills. Backup EJ Manuel's career appears to have run its course in Buffalo. His expected departure would open a spot for Griffin to compete with Taylor, whose deal voids after the 2016 season. Griffin would fit better in coordinator Greg Roman's offense than he would in most other systems, making Buffalo one of the few natural scheme fits.'

'Philadephia attorney Dennis Cogan will also represent McCoy along with Krasner.'

'“The first thing you do is you go through all your cut-ups, all your calls, but I think when you’re looking at specific trends in the league, like zone read was a big one a few years ago,” said head coach Rex Ryan. “We had to devise a way to defend it. We’ll look at similar things, but more specifically we look at how people attack us.”'
