Mr. WEO

In California, he couldn't charge that is she is on tape lying about her age, doc. You already knew this. Why mention it? As you well know, the burden is on the DA, and as is true in 75% of such cases in that particular county, the DA didn't see a way to a clear win for the office so it didn't charge. You and I have no idea as to how they came to that decision, but they did--it has nothing to do with innocence. You know this. Do you conclude, given this data, that 75% of allegations of sexual assault in that county are determined by the DA to be simply fabrications against actually innocent defendants?

So a concept which entered legal status over 100 years after the Constitution was signed means it’s “in the Constitution” (which you “read in elementary school”). Lol, yeah, that’s what I figured…

YES! Washington is the exact place where Eric can prove the world that HE is the real genius behind the Chief's Offense. lol, this s going to be awesome. Paired with "Riverboat Ron!" and QB2 or QB3 dudes. What could go wrong?

That's how it's supposed to work....champions have even mediocre units step up in the playoffs

Obviously, I have no idea what he's capable of, so I would not say he's actually innocent or guilty-- I (you, all of us) have no basis for such a declaration--especially regarding his involvement (or not) in a gang rape. You have said he's innocent, based on how you feel about all this. Ok... I'm pretty sure the trouble she went to the cops about was not that he had sex with a 17 year old, but was sexually assaulted. Obviously if all that happened was consensual sex against the outside wall off the house, this would never have been a story. I'm sure there is no shortage of underage of underage HS kids hooking up with college athletes at college parties all over the country ("reprehensible", I know!!!). So if she lied about her age to get with a college football star, then everything else has to be a lie? And if she added a year to her age, she has to be lying about being gang raped by a bunch of players? Why should that always follow? How does that work?

Took you a long time to look that up...nice try, but no. it's not in there either. all provided for more protections for the accused, but none presumed innocence. That phrase was given birth (in terms of legal precedence by the Supreme Court) in a landmark case Coffin v US in 1894. Keep looking!

He had one punt...in preseason game 1, against scrubs. It was a touchback. Martin is the perfect Punter for the Bills. 20th in % inside the 20 and 12th in net yards. Only punted 45 times.

His side is "I didn't do it". He has had plenty of time to elaborate publicly on that. "Bills Mafia Babes" didn't create the accusations, they responded to them. They said "if they are false, go on with your business. If they are true, cut him immediately". There you go. Obviously the more serious of the allegations.... Is it "unbelievable" because the Matt Araiza you know would never even consider such an act? Not telling the Bills is "reprehensible"--they almost certainly would NOT have drafted him had they known. He hid it, thus forcing them to take massive heat, looking foolish for the entire, albeit brief, period this kid was on the team. It was all avoidable. Yes, teams have Punters----a position so valuable that every team hopes in every game to use as little as possible. Good point!

Atlanta owner likes stars? Had to tell---he's had 2 in the last 10 years. Also, they went 3-6 down the stretch, only put 2 wins together in the final 2 games and the receiver corps is Pitts (if he can go) and Drake London. Jackson had as good in Balt. Brady won't be in the booth next season. The NYC media gives "tons of attention" to any QB on the Jets.

Cool! tell us where in the (US) Constitution, the words "innocent until proven guilty" appear. You probably have the whole document memorized from that elementary school that gave birth to your penchant for Constitutional scholarship. Let's hear it---"school" us.

Maybe, but the Chiefs have won 2 SBs with pretty mediocre D's.

It wasn't just "statutory" rape she initially alleged....... Also, not providing full disclosure is "reprehensible"? Hmmmm....see below. If your Offense stinks (Titans) maybe a Punter is valuable. Stonehouse is top 5 in yards....becasue he punted 90 times! Otherwise not top 5 in net or % inside the 20. And just because teams blow a 4th on a Punter doesn't mean it was a good pick (those weren't outstanding picks).. Even "The Punt God" didn't get a sniff until the 6th round. "So strongly"? I was just pointing out the obvious error in your post. I think if you knew what "virtue signaling" meant, you probably wouldn't have said that. But then again.... Anyway, at what point in your review of all of the evidence with SDPD and the DA did you conclude he was actually innocent. Share with us! Mea culpa? For what? Before he was drafted, he said nothing about this event to the Bills (his lawyer initially lied and said he did, then retracted and said "maybe it was after the draft". If this kid had been up front with the Bills before they picked him, the Bills would have saved themselves a lot of trouble. But he wasn't-----and now they owe HIM an apology? That's pretty rich.

He got a lot more targets than any previous season, despite a similar catch rate. The vast majority of his catches are for 1st downs or TDs We all know Davis isn't Adams. But if half of Adams targets aren't caught, shouldn't the Raiders spread it around more? Or just accept Adams's current catch rate for the production?

lol, at least Chatgpt won't post this same thread topic 4 more times....

Sanders was nothing special in Buffalo.

I don't think anyone is supporting her decisions as completely sound. But that is irrelevant. She may have lied about her age, but no one has determined if she lied about the rest. SO it's not reprehensible as of yet. And no one has declared that he is "not allowed to play in the NFL again". What if, after the civil trial, no team feels any Punter is worth having this much? It's simply not that important a position. Quick: who's the best Punter in the league? The worst? Who cares?

Davis would have had 1600 yards if he had 180 targets like Adams. no you keep focusing on the one stat--it's a great argument. forget all the productivity

There are many posters who roll out of bed with "a unique take" that they can't wait to post, no matter how many times it has been discussed.

There is a presumption of innocence--but that is in court. But even in court, defendant is proven guilty or not guilty, not "actually innocent"---and he didn't have to answer the charges in court. You have no idea what he did or didn't do. Therefore, you can't factually tell others he is "without a doubt innocent". Your argument is simply an opinion, which is yours to have--same as every NFL exec who feels he's not the guy for their team.

They beat the Bengals. Jones is a great player. It's not luck. It's just taking care of business.

There's an original take. No doubt Raiders fans and Carolina fans are positing the same threads about 50/50 dudes Adams and Moore, right? Anyway, 88% of his catches are TDs or 1st downs this season. Also, #2 in the NFL in YPC. In 3 years, including playoffs, 2458 yards, 26 TDs. Who needs that??

How is it possible Elway is still President of football operations there?

I would fire on the spot the scout who piped up in the draft meeting and said "yeah, forget all that stuff and forget all that film we've seen .....the guy had the 30th 20 yard shuttle and 27th 3 cone drill"

wow, the Hodgins legend just will not die here! Weird.
