Reductio ad absudum. And, to address your hypothetical, the purchase of services such as those in question from an intermediary are much more directly supporting something that has a much more direct link with human trafficking.
At bottom you and I have a difference of opinion that is grounded in our varying morals and values.
I don't doubt that we have a different set of morals and how we apply them to ethics but that's not what's at play here. The Author, the OP, and by extension you, seem to be willing to place blame for a crime on customers of a service of which it's highly likely that they have no direct knowledge of. Now if you were to tell me that they were aware of the circumstances, or even sought out such circumstances, ala Epstein, that would be a different matter entirely. I see no evidence presented in this article to even indicate that was remotely the case.
What I see is a woman with a drug problem and a pimp that enabled it and then leveraged it. Pretty classic story here. This isn't about a girl kidnapped from a small mid-west town and sold on an underground chinese black-market.
My statement about coffee and chocolate hardly seems absurd to me. If you really want to look into where the things you buy come from: clothes, electronics, textiles, etc let alone more dubious products and services like drugs and sex, you could draw a lot of lines from decent upstanding people who pay their taxes, love their family and support their community, to international crime, human trafficking and defacto or even literal slavery.-

Eli had 2 remarkable post season runs in which his team took down Brady (which IMO gets him in the HOF eventually). Other than that he career as widely been meh. You and @ScottLaw speak of him as if he is a first ballot guy. Its gonna take him many years after eligibility to get in. You'll see.
He's absolutely going to be top-bill on the first ballot.

Huh???? I am not in agreement with that assessment.....at all.
You might be standing alone there. Eli is as good as most of the QBs in the hall and is a 2 time SB MVP and Champion. He's playing at an fortunate time where we've probably watched the #1,#2,#3 QBs of all time play in the league simultaneously

See the prior post. Those who paid for her services supported human trafficking.
And so do people who drink coffee or eat chocolate. This is nonsense.
There's no reason to exaggerate the point here. Bills players involved in prostitution, ok sure. Bills players involved in human trafficking, yea not unless OJ found a new hobby.-

He went from getting 3rd string reps in preseason....to starting the second half of Game 1 last year. For someone who was clueless about alot of things early on, he looked pretty decent because he is very instinctive. To me, Josh is boom or bust. I don't see him being a middle of the pack type QB.
See I see that as his most likely destination. Bust QBs tend to not play games like he did last week. I don't think he has the tools to be a top guy, but if he keeps getting better he can be the kind of guy that you can win with. He'll win games for you like he did last week and he'll lose games for you too, but I don't see him ever doing the kinds of things Brady, Brees, Mahomes or even Watson (in a valiant losing effort) did last week. He might be able to be the version of Rivers that actually gets it done though.

I think Manning makes it twice, once as a colt and once as a bronco.I think he had two hall of fame careers and no one even noticed.

Human trafficking is a big deal. The pegulas will not tolerate this nonsense, and I deeply respect them for it. Whoever is involved in this is gone. As they well should be.
This isn't human trafficking. It's prostitution.
2 minutes ago, matter2003 said:Why is the title of this thread as if its been proven there were Sabres and Bills players involved in this? No offense, but with no evidence other than the word of an admitted crackhead thats almost worse than having no evidence...
I'd take this with the largest grain of salt ever made
Saying they were "involved" seems to imply they were involved in keeping her a prostitute, but what she claims is that they were clients. Big big difference there which makes for a misleading article and post by the OP

He's never been very good to begin with. 3 winning seasons in 8 years and this one looks like another stinker too. He's always been capable of huge games, but he's often had suspect decision making and an unreal ability to throw a terrible ball at the worst possible times.

Shouldn't week 1 count as time served?

Ruled him out 5 days before the game? I'm not a doctor, can Mono be that bad?
I had mono as a teenager, and it essentially made me sleep 16 hours a day.

I stumbled upon 538's bizarre quarterback graph. They think Allen is the 2nd best QB in the division being slightly below average. There are some other, interesting tidbits in there.
You have to look into their methodology to see where/why this happens. This is all data driven:
Performance is measured according to “VALUE,” a regression between ESPN’s Total QBR yards above replacement and basic box score numbers (including rushing stats) from a given game, adjusted for the quality of opposing defenses.- The formula for VALUE is: -2.2 * Pass Attempts + 3.7 * Completions + (Passing Yards / 5) + 11.3 * Passing TDs – 14.1 * Interceptions – 8 * Times Sacked – 1.1 * Rush Attempts + 0.6 * Rushing Yards + 15.9 * Rushing TDs.3

Unless something drastic happens, the only thing standing in the way of 16-0 for the Pats are the Chiefs.

Snubbing the 2nd Amendment?
That's hilarious because they don't want innocent people to die. The freedom to not be wounded or killed outweighs your silly "gun rights" BS.
Careful now, or they'll report you to Tucker Carlson.

The 1st one comes back & wins the game. What do you hear from the national media? Criticism and no respect.
The 2nd one comes back & ties the game. National Media: He's the 2nd coming of Jesus.
Josh Allen vs Kyler Murray. I guess Heisman hype & being the #1 pick has its benefits.
Pretty different situations.

In review of yesterday's game, I keep reading how terrible and ineffective the Bills offense was until the 4th Quarter. I completely disagree.
Were they mistake prone and sloppy at times? Absolutely.
But when you really break it down, the offense was consistently putting together strong drives for a good chunk of the day.
On the day, the Bills had the ball a total of 12 times.
- One possession was the kneel down at the half.
- One possession was running out the clock at the end of the game.
- Then you have the Cole Beasley bounce (pretty much a fluke), which was returned for a touchdown. This drive was one play.
- Then you have the safety (bad call by the refs), which also lasted one play.
That leaves 8 true possessions for the Bills offense.
1. Drive #1 (7 plays, 37 yards): They easily marched down the field to the Jets 26 yard line. Then Dion Dawkins missed a block, resulting in the sack/strip.
2. Drive #3 (9 plays, 35 yards): Another drive into scoring position, until the Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty on Jon Feliciano.
3. Drive #4 (3 plays, 7 yards): This was a really bad series, which also included the INT that was overturned by penalty.
4. Drive #5 (9 plays, 58 yards): Yet another very strong drive, ended by the botched snap on the QB sneak.
5. Drive #6 (5 plays, 30 yards): The offense was starting to move again. Then we have the tipped pass, which was also intercepted.
6. Drive #9 (9 plays, 50 yards): Ended in our first 3 points of the day.
7. Drive #10 (8 plays, 85 yards): Touchdown
8. Drive #11 (8 plays, 80 yards): Touchdown
Bottom line... On a snap-by-snap basis, I felt like the Bills controlled the game on both sides. Defense was outstanding all day. The offense had some really bad bounces and bad luck. They had some really bad mistakes at the wrong time. The narrative is that something "woke the offense up" during the 4th quarter. In reality, I think we just figured out how to finish our drives.
Completely agree, OP. As someone who has been notoriously down on Allen I thought he actually had a good first half- he was faced with a ton of adversity outside of his control, and the turnovers that occurred weren't really due to the poor decision making we've seen from him in the past. They could have happened to any quarterback. In short, he didn't struggle because of any of his known weaknesses and that was excellent to see. His short to intermediate game was spot on, he made quick reads and found the open targets.
His second half was just great. Seeing him get the opportunity to go down and win the game and then doing it made me feel like something I hadn't seen a Bills QB do in 25 years, even if I had. He absolutely looked the part.-

Any player who gets traded for and does anything including being racist that he can to get out of the contract he just signed what’s to stop this from happening again? Cause we know once it was probably reported through back channels that the Pats wanted him he asked for his release right after his heartfelt team apology yesterday...potentially a CBA issue?
It's no different than Elway, Manning or a host of other forced trade situations - just a lot more bizarre and less intellectually coherent.-

Tua probably deserves to be a 5th round pick based on how he'll do in the pros, but he'll get all the Kyler Murray hype and some team will draft him (likely Phins) at the top of the first.
