If that's true... It's dicey! Fasten seatbelts. Bills have been victimized too! Why are we dwelling on the shame. If anything, they were played. Why do we have to feel like bad guys? Bills did nothing wrong? Fight or flight. I am more fight now than flight when it comes to our interests.

No time for McBean to lay up short. The time was before they cut Haack.

This isn't criminal. If it goes back that route... Cut him. It's civil. She'll get something no matter what, unless there is other facts in his favor, he's liable for something.

Just saying, stupid to get the yips now and cut him. IMO. He either has a career in BFLo or nothing. It would be something if he ended up in New England. We either use him or crush him.

It isn't about the sex. It's about power and control.

They attached MA to complaint because he's the potential deep pocket. What are the going to get from others. Criminal side seems to be exhausted... Unless this reopens it? Maybe the rape kit. ??? Did the police finish up criminally?

Yet... The police find nothing criminally. Were they really on the fix? Or is plaintiff embellishing for a lower burden of proof civil case

Sorta. Don't dwell on it. "Onto next week, next question, danke."

No. Because then he lied to Bills. Cut him and give him an orange jumpsuit (and I don't mean a Fins Uni). The Bills cab play victimized role.

You know what would really suck? Bills cut He settles Signs with other team and hangs an 80 yarder on us. He either wins a Bills or crashes a Bill. We've crossed the Rubicon.

Fair. Having a hard time too with that. Plaintiff went nuclear. Just press on. Don't want to get into it here. But it works for some very big wigs out there. 😏

Because the rough part is over. He will either win or make her whole.

Bills need to stay the course. Don't cut. They are committed. If he will work in the NFL... Bills took all the damage. Not much more can happen to them now. Get him ready for opening day and press on. It's a civil case. Unless it goes criminal, which seems odd it would go back that way, then cut. Bills paid the down payment on his talent.

If it was his residence, IMO it would be worse. More liability to what's taking place on your property. I think it helps him it wasn't his place (rent or own). The severity of what took place. ??

Because he can be a valuable asset to your team because of his kicking talent. If he's gonna crash and burn professionally, it should be under your contract. Don't release because you might see him on the other side of the ball. If he was a marginal talent, which he's not, I'd say cut him. Use him, if he crashes... Then he's totaled.

Thnx. I thought it was his. That helps him I believe!

Life throws lemons, make lemonade... If they can't handle this, then they can't handle the media leading up to a Super Bowl.

Then. If this is true... Bills need to back him. BUT if it's true... IMO, he's still liable in a civil suit I would think. Did he make sure she was safe? NO. Obviously she wasn't. The analogy I can think of is dropping someone off home? Do you wait until they get door unlocked and enter safely OR just speed off. Seems to me, Araiza just speed off without making sure she was safe. In a civil case, the burden is less. He's still guilty in the situation you explained. Maybe not guilty of the most heinous acts, but still liable for her safety. It was his residence, right?

I don't buy jerseys. Always seemed a bit creepy to me. Wearing another person's jersey.

Yet... There's a certain amount of game theory that can be played here and we've been addressing it.

If the Bills don't think he's worth their high moral character to take a chance on him, then every other team should maintain that high character standard. No other team should go scumming. IF he lied to the Bills. Not sure what his side of story is, but how much worse can it get for the Bills? Bills can use him and still claim the moral high-ground.

Here's the back story: Elvis Costello - Less Than Zero & Radio Radio - Saturday Night Live 1977 On December 17, 1977, when he appeared on Saturday Night Live, Elvis Costello was 23 years old. His debut album, My Aim Is True, had just come out in America a month earlier. When the Sex Pistols were unable to appear on the show as planned, Costello and his recently formed band, the Attractions, got their big break. They were supposed to play his single “Less Than Zero' but only a few bars into the song, Costello put a stop to it. “I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen,” he said, “but there’s no reason to do this song here.” At that point he and the band launched into “Radio Radio,” a song that takes a jab at corporate-controlled broadcasting. Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels was furious. According to some reports, he raised his middle finger at Costello and kept it up until the unapproved song was over. Costello was banned from the show for nearly 12 years. Elvis admits that he was copying Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix had done the same thing on the Lulu Show, when he went into an unscheduled rendition of the Cream song 'Sunshine Of Your Love'. Most of the stills here are from that Saturday Night Show along with other pics from the period.

The SNL gig (audio only) that got Elvis Costello banned from SNL for 12 years to 1989:

Nobody is sleeping the way they're having sex! And yes there is a lot to say about how in love they are with his leg. Anybody remember "Chuck Knox Ball?" It really is about field position. Today's game was almost an statistical tie. They won by 3 scores and CAR punted one more time.
