Thanks for not doing the work. You have no idea how journalists operate or what constitutes good work in that field. You probably didn't read the entire piece either. Yeah, he did provide numerous alternate points of view. Again, it's first-hand people (25) telling the story, not Dunne. He's a conduit, but the testimony belongs to others, all of whom have worked with or for McD.
The guy isn't kicking Bills Mafia when it's down. It takes a long time to put together this sort of piece. It's entirely coincidental it came out a week after another McD late-game fail.
It was "certainly" released to inflict damage? Gosh, that seems like the easiest thing in the world to demonstrate convincingly. Please, regale us.
Do write reports? Try cases? Write for publication with 25 sources? I am guessing no.
Seriously what are you even talking about?

Dunne addressed the credentials thing. He says it's the Bills' prerogative and he understands.
Can I give you an assignment? Can you go out and talk with 25 people who have worked directly with Ty Dunne and report back? Because then you'd be on par with the work he did her. You are correct -- you are speculating from an emotional, uninformed perspective.
Give me a break. This is the 2nd or 3rd hit piece Dunes attempted. His :13 second work didn't have the impact he wanted, so here we go again.
It does not matter if you talk to 25 people or 100.... if you walk into the project with the central thesis burned into your brain and already written . This wasn't a comparative fair study, Dune went into this w a goal in mind of smearing McD. He found folks who would assist him and promote that, and gave alternative viewpoints only a smidgen if any acknowledgement.
I don't need to talk to 25 people....Dunes put his material out their for fair scrutiny, and it does not pass the sniff test.
The timing here was intended and overt: he wanted to kick Billsmafia when we were down. He wanted to affect the news, not report the news.
To be frank, given how outright silly and petty many of the assertions are, it's just a shame this garbage has gained traction.

I thought McDs presser was genuine and from the heart. I don't think he's fake at all. That perspective baffles me. He was noticably distressed in his eyes.
I think it's fair to critique McD. There's been some issues over the years. But there's also been high positives. As I said, I'm not at all happy w how the Von Miller situation is being handled.
Again, Dunne was very much a product and ally of the former Whaley regime. There was also likely some serious offense he perceives from McD that prematurely ended or derailed his legit media career. This is my speculation at least. I think he's very biased and dedicated to bring down McD.

When did Dunne write a "hit piece" (oh the drama, Good Lord) on Beane?
He's regularly critical of the drafting.

I don’t think Dunne has an ax to grind, I think he has bills to pay. He knows these types of “hit piece” articles draw interest and pull in subscribers. No one reads an article about how many former players like Sean. Even if he acknowledges there may be some, he can find a few that don’t and make that the large part of the thesis of his writing.
its not personal against Sean, it’s using him as a way to pay bills and build his career.
which is why I agree with Micah, it’s a low blow. But I see why he did it.
Idk he was on McD right from word go. He thought Beane was a weak sauce crony hire as well.

BILLS MUST CONTAIN PACHECO AND OTHER KC RBs in order to win this game. Stop the screens that the Chiefs will run in order to exploit Dodson's lack of coverage skills
Pacheco is out
12 minutes ago, beebe said:The Chiefs offense is the worst personnel wise they've had in Mahomes era, but the D is by far the best.
I don't think it's the best crew they've had. They have played well....but better depth on the old teams and better back end. I think these LBs may be the best when healthy....but they're not.

what's a hack and where in those 20,000 words you read in that article did you conclude that's what he is?
enlighten us
Are you Dunne? He's regularly written hit pieces on McD and Beane. Had it out for them almost from the start. He had a preamble :13 second piece filled with stretchy garbage and conjecture 2 years ago. He hits McD like a part time job. I've heard he was a Monos and Whaley fan and is sour grapes since.

stop--lol come on. he makes it clear in his piece.
Did he have "an axe to grind" with Rodgers and McCarthy in that long form piece he wrote in 2019 about the 2 of them?
read the article.
Sure, he fairly mentioned it. ...but he's a hack so yes, it was pretty obvious that he needed to.

This year's KC team is so different - and especially now without Pacheco, who was really helping carry that offense.
The teams they have had in previous years have been so formidable - the "back to back" losses thing makes more sense w/ those teams. I'm not sure it really applies this year.
They've had back to back losses before. But yeah, this team is just different...the least talented they've had. By far. Now they are hurting.
We are a bad matchup for the Chiefs in general. Despite our problems we have dogs on the DL this year.
Look, we didn't play our best game last year and still won. We had 2 red zone turnovers (?) .
Again, truth to the notion we've lost to much worse teams. But I just have a solid feeling the team is going to be tuned in.

Dunne included it in the article with context and exact words.
Why is your problem with Dunne and not the 20 reporters paraphrasing his reporting incorrectly?
Nope he did not. Here's the citation. Definitely paraphrases most of the substance . He used some exact quotes that I highly doubt are exact quotes.

I think the team will take care of business this weekend despite this crazy storm. Hope they turn inward to each other.

IMO screw Tyler Dunne. I've never liked him, he's always dripped of ambition and is sour grapes he's not treated like a real press guy. He's just always rubbed me the wrong way.
McD looks like he said some dumb / unnecessary anecdote that was likely in bad taste 4 years ago. Sean is many things, but he's a patriot and no sympathizer w 911 hijackers. I'd have to have heard the exact pitch to pass further judgement, really we all should. Dunne does a huge disservice by throwing this out there without the exact context and exact words. I've heard 20 reporters paraphrase what was said today and each one has phrased it differently.

Are you an attorney by chance?
I have posited a few times that I think a lot of the grey area about charges or lack there of is the league/Bills working to try and bury the body cam and recordings submitted to police during the incident.
No, I'm law enforcement. Most of my experience is federal, but a healthy dose of a few different states.
I think the grey area occurs because there are some stages of the court process where essentially charges get levied in different degrees.
Plus, we are talking about semantics .....which is a critical and complex legal question.
For example the term "arrested" or "arrest" is a legally broad term that has been applied to substantial detentions, probable cause based arrests, or formal arrests via indictments or complaints.
Von is facing the last type. It's the most substantial/ strongest and typically requires a judge to review and sign the warrant. That's the rub here; some folks spent time and effort here.
I honestly don't think the Bills or NFL would try to bury the cam footage. Most of that can be FOIA'd via Texas / Dallas process. The state and local usually release them eventually - most of the time fairly quickly. The only reason I can't think is maybe to protect victims in DV they have some restrictions.
I'd bet the local radio station is working hard to get the footage as well.

So, like the rest of us, you don’t know what exactly has happened?I've never argued that I knew everything. I know enough and enough facts are record and easily obtained that Beane was being slick and slimy w his take. It's a bad look for the Bills.
In fact, not knowing the whole deal is precisely the argument to put Von on some form of shelf. We don't know how this will go, and if I were Buff I'd play it safe.

I believe Von Miller needing to post bail is the kicker here.
Let me start by saying I am not an attorney, but I do not believe you can be held for bail without a charge. On the other end of the spectrum, you wouldn't be held on bail if you were brought in for questioning.Yeah for a short time for investigative detention but not for long. That's a fairly substantial constitutional violation.

How did he plea? I hadn’t heard that he was arraigned.I would guess not guilty, but he may not have been arraigned. Since it would be by complaint, that may happen after indicted or PC hearing. That may be the kicker. He's certainly had an initial however.
-
For God's sake the legal beagles that show up. He was charged. He was arrested, booked, arraigned and posted bail. They can't propose bail or keep you detained after arrest without charging. If Von had not posted bond he'd still be in the can.
I'm not going to dispute that you can be arrested without being charged in some cases. But, not when a warrant was issued, executed and those subsequent steps occured.
-
I just can't believe the stuff on this thread.
Folks, there is an affidavit with numerous details. Physical evidence. Then law enforcement swore to the validation of these articulable facts, it was scrutinized by a judge and a warrant was issued. I repeat: there is physical evidence, possible also multiple phones w video and audio evidence, and real documented injuries. There is a detailed 911 call from the event as well.
Then we have a radio station saying she recanted. It's so common for victims to recant and play down DV events, especially when spouses are wealthy or physically overpowering. The capper is Von has been accused of this before.
I can't say it's not possible the wife made aspects up or exaggerated, but it's more likely Von did do this in some form .
Yes, innocent until proven guilty. However in the NFL making 20 million per year their is a status quo of many folks being suspended or placed on admin leave while the process plays out. This would most certainly happen to many professionals like teachers, cops, politicians, or business folks.
Just a bad look by the Bills here who are actually lying or blindly ignoring data that is readily at hand.
Beane says he doesn't have enough info yet, but the affidavit has been released and the 911 call also reviewed by the same Dallas news organizations.
Says waiting for him to get charged or does not think he will be charged when he has been formally charged with an aggravated felony.
Just a terrible look for Beane and the Bills. Really makes me question everything w this staff. Frankly, my ability to root on the team.

At the end of the day the Buffalo Bills had the chance to make a statement here. And they failed to make the right one.
He's been charged. And the legal process MUST play out. This is true. And from a team/financial standpoint there is no way they could just cut him. They're stuck with Miller until the legal process plays out. That much I agree with and understand.
However, they could have VERY easily sent him home so he can "focus on his current situation" much like they said with the punter. And exactly like what the Texans did with Watson. Excuse him from the facility, pay him his money to stay home. From a football standpoint, it's not like they're missing out. And from a PR standpoint it's saying we will not tolerate this set of circumstances.
Brandon Beane does NOT get to bring up culture or character again.
Yeah i totally agree. Its not like its uncommon for folks facing charges or even a serious uncharged incident to face suspension, administrative leave or some for of paid leave pending investigation or fact finding.
In fact, the NFL does this all the time. As many pointed out did this with several cases where no one was (ever) charged....
The 800 pound gorilla in the room is the evidence i spoke of. There is significant evidence in this case, supposedly video evidence. (this came from Joe Marino or Matt Parrino I believe)
You gotta ask yourself if your Beane if there does turn out to be video, and if it does not look good...do you want to be embarrassed further? man I'd put him on sabbatical.
-
That news article is wrong charges were filed. He's had his arraignment, initial appearance before a judge and posted bail.
That's the process. In most cases, the next step is either dismissal , indictment via a grand jury or a probable cause hearing.
If not charged, what the hell did he post bail for? Fun?

Being arrested means he was charged.Worse was there was a full blown warrant. Not like he was arrested in the act. Someone cut an affidavit and got it signed by a judge, who reviewed the facts and deemed Probable cause. At some point the affidavit may get released and we will have a bunch of facts. If they do more work w phones, may even be video.

The commentary on Von stood out to me, toward the beginning.
Sounds like Beane & the Front Office are confident that Von will not be charged with any crime and this could potentially be a misunderstanding.
Maybe we should be cautious this time around (ex: Araiza) and let things play out before crucifying Von...
He has been charged. Bills and Beane are wrong here.
What they really mean is they don't think the "charges will stick"....
It's pretty gutless.

You are correct sir. I can't believe the BS some in NFL and Bills are spewing.
