My guess here is you have an adult giving money to unrelated minors. While this was probably done in good faith, I can see how this could be viewed as problematic.
I wish the article didn't leave us to guess, but instead actually explained what rules were violated that led to the suspension.

Great family men don't have affairs, https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-legends-news-bills-legend-jim-kelly-admits-being-unfaithful-to-his-wife-during-sons-diagnosis/ Just saying. Jimbo may be better than he was but he still far from a saint.
I think that was the point: in his prime years as a QB he was a giant arse and not a good family man, in retirement he changed and started growing to become a better man husband and father.
Whether that makes him a "great family man" or whether his past has to be weighed with his present ties into a lot of questions about the degree to which you believe in the power of redemption or whether personal change is possible and real rendering rehabilitation possible etc. - I leave that to you.
Prayers for the Kellys-

Cousins being deeply religious while also using stem cells will never not be funny to me. I legitimately think he doesn't understand that he came off like a hypocrite.
?
There are adult stem cells in a number of tissues including bone marrow
Adult stem cells can be reprogrammed to become more pluripotentStem cells are harvested perinatally (after birth) from cord blood - it's a routine question "are you willing to donate blood from the umbilical cord?" after birth when the baby and mom no longer have a use for it
He's only a hypocrite if he's using embryonic stem cells and I'm not aware of any medical treatment that uses them, because of the ethical controversies

I watched the first few episodes. I always enjoy these type of documentary/shows that go behind the scenes. Would like to hear everyone's thoughts on it or parts that stood out.
The show follows Cousins, Goff and Burrow last year. Considering the stories of the Bengals, Lions and Falcons last year (and their QBs), I give it a 10/10 recommend you watch. I absolutely enjoyed it. I fell asleep for the last episode so I'll get to that tonight
One that stood out for me, was what they showed during the Bills and Lions game last year. We were up 21-14 at half.
They show and give audio at the start of the third quarter and it's Ben Johnson and Goff talking....(edit..it may have been late in the third they had this convo. I'll have to watch that part again)
Either way, the conversation goes like this
Johnson-so you know, we aren't running it the rest of the game.
Goff-yeah I know and if they keep playing D like they did at the end of the half we are gonna smoke em
Now, I think this goes into what has been spoke about on these boards. When we get a lead we just sit in a prevent type role and get smoked. It almost cost us in this game. The lions did whatever they wanted in the 2nd half and the game got a lot closer than it should have. Thankfully our offense didn't slow down either.
.
That said, we won. Should we continue with this strategy when we get up a few scores, or would you prefer more aggression when we have the other team one dimensional?
I'm pretty sure the Lions would have liked to score before 1:41 left in the 3rd, instead of "punt" and "fumble". And that 3rd Q score was fluky AF - "wait, WHAT? he caught that?"
I do grant you, we gave up 3 straight scores in the 4th. Totally changed my viewpoint of Dan Campbell and made me kind of sad they lost to the Commanders in the Division.

Fair enough, but it does appear he was toxic, I'm sure due to him not getting the ball as much as he wanted. I think back to that whole Maddy Glab situation with him.
Oh, absolutely and beyond not getting the ball.
There's the Glab situation, the Tim Graham anecdote about his interaction with Josh, then various "I'd tell you what I know if I could but I can't" hints from a couple people here. Then Graham again:
Quote“He could suck the energy out of any room,” a Bills player told me this offseason.
My only point was that there doesn't appear to be any need to look beyond the on field and off-field behavior with the team.

That offense has been mostly bare of weapons the past two years. Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice were out almost all of last year. Kelce is on his last legs. Reid is scheming guys open but they have lacked real threats.
If Rice is healthy this year, Mahomes play will bounce back. Which is bad news for us.
They say a good prosecuting attorney can persuade a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. Seems unfair to @Ham Sandwich but I sure wish the Texas prosecuting attorney would cook up some Rice.

He was an early enrollee. Hence the semester before his freshman season. Also, why he was a minor at the time. I would advise him to settle. Doesn’t matter if he is guilty or not. He put himself in the position regardless. Its a PR issues that will cost more the longer it goes.
Oh heckin' no. What he does is countersue for defamation. Then the two parties dismiss both cases.
Here's how the game is played. Opening move: Plaintiff finds lawyer willing to work for a percentage of the settlement and sues for $$$ damages due to sexual assault and infliction of emotional distress. Plaintiff needs money to gather evidence and depose witnesses, but I think some lawyers will front that on spec as well and it's relatively small compared to legal fees.
Next move: Defendant counter-sues for defamation. Now you see, one of two things will happen. Defendant will win, in which case plaintiff's lawyer won't get paid. Or, defendant will lose, but he doesn't owe money and plaintiff may not be awarded attorney fees. So plaintiff needs $$$ up front to pay lawyer to defend her.
So plaintiff will typically and reluctantly offer to dismiss her lawsuit in exchange for dismissal of the other lawsuit. Sometimes there's an offer of some kind of $$ "without admission of guilt" but not necessarily (Araiza case).

Oh, I thought I heard the incident may have occurred when he was on college visit. If he was an enrolled student and living in the same dorm, the insurance coverage would still be "Mom and Dad" and/or U of K for failure to supervise/safeguard females in the dorm.
Yeah, it's weird. His college stats start in 2022. But that doesn't seem like a detail an attorney would get wrong in a filing. Maybe he red-shirted?
Speaking of weird, what young woman of college age and common sense faces a young man who previously made her uncomfortable in HIS dorm room, tells him she doesn't want to hang out, and then *turns around and walks away from the door leaving him free to enter*? Whisky tango foxtrot? You shut and lock the door before you turn and walk away. And if the guy forces his way past you into the room, you leave and seek help. And then, having this (allegedly uninvited) young man in her room announcing he's "high as *****" and "trying to have sex", what sensible young woman of college age walks away from him *into her bedroom*. Hell, no, faced with a strong athletic young man who makes that announcement why wouldn't a sensible chick grab her phone and beat it out of the room to find a friend or RA or call security, who could then go with her and get the guy out of there, rather than walking away from him into her bedroom? *smdh*
Seriously, all this is verbatim from the lawsuit. The one filed by her lawyer.
In the House by the Beck, the daughter of the house started having discussions with the 'rents about Power and Control and how you avoid putting yourself in positions where you hand those over to other people, starting in middle school and continuing into college.On the other hand, no sane and sensible young woman files a police report and undergoes a SANE exam (they are horrible - painful and violating - often described by victims as "a second assault") if she doesn't seriously believe she's been sexually assaulted. Nor does she change schools when no school discipline or charges result.
I don't know what to make of the whole thing.

To me, it isn't concerning, more enlightening as to why he was shipped out of Buffalo. It now appears clear how toxic Diggs was to the Bills locker room. There's been rumors he's attracted to more than one gender if you know what I mean, which makes me wonder if he tried to make a pass at Josh lol. Either way, I think the real entertainment will be him in New England, I just don't see him focused on a serious bounce back.
I don't think we need to delve into Diggs personal life or create hypothetical sexual scenarios to look for reasons the Bills moved on. The performance and locker room based reasons to move on from Diggs have been rehashed multiple times. It also seems pretty clear that Diggs wanted receiving numbers, demanded a high target share in order to get them, and wasn't going to be happy in an offense that was closer to 50/50 run/pass under Brady than the ~40/60 run pass that was the Bills offense under Dorsey.

Is it another way of the poster to say, I am so above this petty talk about Diggs, he or she is so much better than us.
Sanctimonious crap imo, then why did he/she even respond.
I have that question a lot on the Interweb.
Someone responds to say "this is useless stuff that is beneath my notice"OK then why are you here noticing it by responding?

Coverage is determined at the time of the alleged act. His current insurance coverage as an NFL player will deny coverage.
The question is whether Mom and Dad's insurance carrier will cover his alleged act while visiting the college. Or, if you want bigger pockets, whether University of Kentucky should have taken better steps to protect students (like the plaintiff) from football recruits visiting the campus.
According to the lawsuit, Hairston was enrolled at U of K and residing in the same dorm as the young woman who filed the lawsuit at the time the alleged acts occurred. Was he actually not enrolled in 2020/2021?

It's crazy how sure people are about something they nothing about. I "hope" the lawsuit is bogus but these matters can be extremely tricky.
I'd rather quietly let the process playout than wish-cast his innocence or burn him to the stake.
I respect that.
I'd just like to point out that innocence and guilt, in a legal sense, are not at issue in a civil suit where the standard of proof is "more likely than not".
I do wonder how many people commenting here actually read the suit? If one clicks on the OP article, it's linked.

The obsession with Diggs over a year later is both comical and concerning 🤣
Comical? Amusement is where you find it, so Sure, I'll give you that.
Concerning?
Why?
This is peak off-season. He's a player who made huge on-field contributions to the Bills for 3 seasons - the biggest WR contributions we've had since arguably Lee Evans and #4 on the Bills all time receiving yards list behind Reed, Moulds, and Evans. In the Josh Allen years, you have to go down to #16 (Davis) and #22 (Beasley) to find guys who contributed half the yards.So like it or not, he's part of Bills history and as such his antics will always be of interest to some.
Why does that concern you?

I'd rather have Ramsey on the Dolphins than Fitzpatrick.
Josh shreds Ramsey. Fitzpatrick is a very competent player.
I dunno.
Fitzpatrick *has* been a very competent player, but he had a passer rating of 127.6 against him and completion % against of 78.8%. That's like a 40 point passer rating against jump and ~20% jump in completion %.

You're incorrect on all of these. None of them had been resolved. While a plea deal may have been negotiated, it's not official until it goes before the court.
And if there's no case to resolve.. then why a suspension?
The NFL reserves the right to impose its own discipline and sanctions if a criminal case is dropped or plea bargain accepted (or of course, resolved with conviction)
(But they won't act while a criminal investigation is ongoing or criminal charges pending)

So, If we like what PFF says, Dey Good
If we don’t, Dey bad?
Maybe it’s subjective but it doesn’t seem to be too far off base.
For me, if we're talking about their objective stats and measurables-based data that teams around the league pay for, they're always good: what plays teams run out of different sets, how often they run them and what their success percentage is, how open a receiver is etc.
If we're talking about their player grades, they're always variable in quality - there's an element of subjectivity and assumed knowledge
If we're talking about their lists of "10 best QB" or "10 best coaches" or whatever, I think they're written to generate controversy and clicks.
If we're talking about Sam Monson saying Brandon Beane is the most sensitive GM in the league because he supposedly called PFF to complain about how the Matt Kalil free agent signing by the Panthers in 2017 was graded, Beane wasn't GM of the Panthers at the time, Dave Gettleman neither had cancer nor was on leave, Marty Hurney was not in the Panthers building, and there's no evidence that Beane was filling a GM role. So if he did ring up PFF and B word, it was very likely at the behest of Gettleman. And since PFF is supposedly objective and analytics-driven in their grades (that's how they market themselves) it would actually reflect very badly on them if they changed their system because 1 GM rang up and complained
Beane may or may not be the most sensitive GM in the league based on his interview on WGR or other factors; my take is that there are plenty of big and sensitive egos in FOs of teams around the league and I doubt Monson is really keeping some kind of objective tally. If some other GMs aren't more sensitive than Beane, maybe they should be (I have certain candidates in mind, but I digress).
Beane took a metric ton of crap and mockery for drafting Josh Allen instead of Josh Rosen or even Mason "the Reindeer" Rudolph and he was right. Beane took a metric ton of crap for trading Diggs when we had no #1 WR last year and came out with the top-scoring offense (and shed all of Diggs cap in 1 year).
I don't forget that Beane got us into cap hell between Diggs new contract and signing Von Miller etc, or that Beane under-invested in WR in the draft-and-develop pipeline, but I think he's entitled to a bit of saltiness with the local press. -

Yeah the Matt Kalil signing turned out to be horrendous. Gettlenutz wasn't the GM he was on leave with cancer. But they didn't want to elevate Beane because DG was supposed to get his job back when he recovered. So they brought back ol' Marty Hurney to technically fill the role temporarily so they didn't have to "demote" Beane later.........but Beane was doing a lot of the GM work at that point.
No argument that the Kalil signing was a Bad Move in retrospect. They got 16 games out of a 4 year contract before he went on IR and was subsequently released.
Your account of the Gettleman/Hurney succession at GM and Gettleman's cancer doesn't match public record however:
1) Gettleman was fired by the Panthers in July 2017
2) Hurney was hired as interim GM to replace Gettleman in July 2017
3) Beane was gone to the Bills by that time
4) Gettleman was hired by the Giants in Dec 20175) Gettleman was diagnosed with cancer (lymphoma) sometime in late May/early June 2018
There's nothing to be found on the Google machine indicating that Gettleman had cancer in Spring of 2017, or was on any sort of leave as GM, or that Hurney was actually brought in that Spring prior to his July 2017 hiring, or that Beane had taken over as GM for a non-cancerous Gettleman who was not on leave.

And yet radio silence on KC’s Rasheed Rice by the NFL!
I have been listening very carefully to that very loud silence.
https://www.si.com/nfl/chiefs/rashee-rice-update-on-potential-suspension-
Quote"Several have asked about the status of Rice’s unresolved criminal charges for last year’s speed racing incident in Dallas," said Mike Florio of NBC Sports.
"He has yet to be suspended by the league, despite facing (at last word) eight felony charges. That’s because the league won’t take action until the criminal case ends. The case has not ended."
"It’s not clear when it will. Regardless, the league will do nothing until it does."
"And while paid leave is an option, the league has already decided not to use it in Rice’s case. New evidence the league’s position; however, nothing has happened yet to change the status quo."
"At the outset of the 2024 season, the plan was for Rice to resolve the criminal case and take his NFL punishment in the offseason, serve any suspension to start 2025, and move on with his career. Possibly after doing enough in 2024 to merit a significant contract following the 2025 season, which will be his third in the league."
"Even if the case against Rice ended today, time would be required for the league’s procedures under the Personal Conduct Policy to unfold. Up to and including a hearing before Judge Sue Robinson."
It's almost like the criminal case will drag out until his career is over. A bit hard for me to understand how the league can pretend to care about its image but let that guy on the field.

I find this interesting actually
beanes an emotional dude. It is what it is. Starting to come through more and more as time goes on. In the beginning it’s endearing and welcomed change of vigor
but with each passing year of not getting it done (beating chiefs or getting to a Super Bowl) he’s starting to be too emotional
and that’s my biggest gripe with this org. They’re too culture centrric. Everybody believes. And loves each other. It affects their draft picks and priorities in offseason. And it affects their contracts.
I think Beane is open to fair criticism but it's not because of "culture".
The criticism that Beane had under-resourced the WR position in the draft up through 2024 is fair IMO. I also think it's a fair point that our offense is our strength, so invest in it rather than continually searching for a top defense we haven't managed to achieve. A couple more plays on offense get us there. Potentially a couple better players make those plays.
The fact is, a number of Beane's attempts to put the Bills over the top have not provided decent return on investment. Von Miller is the biggest example, but I don't think they got what they expected with Emmanuel Sanders or Amari Cooper either.But I don't think the issue is the Bills "culture" or "signing for culture". It's more taking a big risk to sign a undeniably great, but 33 yr old DE to a big contract and pinning your Superbowl hopes that he will work out.

Bridgewater suspended from HS coaching
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
The thing is I know there are special sports rules. Like there are rules you have to attend so much of the school day if you have an excused absence for medical or you can't play, that kind of thing.
So I don't doubt that there were rules and they were broken. I just wish the article would have explained.
