Sorry for the kid… Sorrier for the girl… Sorry for their families and friends and his Bills teammates… Just a sorry situation…
Full of lessons for other young people… and other sports teams… and their managements…
Beane and McDermott made the right decision and struck the right tone in their pressers… Impressive men…
Beane has plenty to consider in a post mortem review of how this unfolded…
Back to football…
This is not “all situations football”… It is a national story… about an allegation of rape… by a Buffalo Bills rookie…
My point was made… The owner should be visible in the process… No point rehashing it… We can agree to disagree… Great place, America…
Agree… But as owner, he should be visible, and like McD, express empathy for all involved… and his confidence in the ongoing internal investigation and upcoming decision process… Doubt Jerry Jones would be hiding… Unimpressed…
Come on, Pegula… Step up… Your franchise is in crisis… and your Pegula Sports crisis management team is abysmal… You need to assure the team, the community, and your fellow owners you have some plan… So far, you are failing the test of leadership…
As soon as the LA Times story broke, I posted he should be cut within days… I like your solution better… Suspend him…Get him away from the team and the city this week… Let him resolve his legal situation … Decide later about his future with the Bills…
Find it implausible Beane withheld any information from McDermott…
Much more likely Ariaza gave new information to McDermott and Beane after the plane landed in Carolina… and they confronted him with the LA Times article…
Yes they do… This a complete distraction to the team… so they need to explain their rationale for keeping Ariaza… and what they will do if the situation bleeds into the season… You don’t have to agree with me… Great place, America… We are free to disagree…
