Are you kidding?

Whether innocent or guilty, I can’t believe his attorney didn’t settle this case when the alleged victim was willing to. Have these attorneys learned nothing from the handling of the Watson case? Florio did an amazing breakdown where he showed how much Watson would have saved (millions) if he accepted the first settlement offer.

I would be genuinely surprised if the Bills didn’t ask him if there were any potential or pending legal matters that they should know about, before the draft. Therefore that leads me to a few potentials: A) Araiza lied to the Bills B) Araiza told the Bills and they drafted him anyway.

That's a great point.

Correct. This is true. Historically, they try to stay out of practice conduct. But that doesn't mean they can't step in. There really is nothing stopping the Bengal player from pressing charges either. To my knowledge. Not that it would ever happen.

Yeah, who in the world thought that was a good idea!?

There are a lot of posters confusing "clubs regulate player behavior at practice" with "the NFL can't do anything". Which is absolute nonsense. The NFL can absolutely do whatever it wants. You think if a player grabbed a female water-carriers buttocks at practice, the NFL wouldn't get involved? HA! They would be involved so fast the players head would spin.

Am I not reading correctly or does that article say absolutely nothing about this Donald fight? Schefter said it happened today. I believe Schefter.

Yeah that doesn't mean the NFL cant punish for this. The NFL can essentially do whatever it wants. They probably wont though.

This doesnt say the NFL can't. It just says clubs are typically responsible. It wasn't his teammate. It was a Bengals player. .

Where did you hear or see that?

I just took a quick read at the personal conduct policy and it says the NFL can suspend for basically anything lol. Honestly. But more poignantly, it says "assault" and "even if the conduct does not result in a criminal conviction".

If the NFL can suspend you for something that happens in the off-season, why couldn't they suspend you for something that happens at practice?

It really is. That ends in handcuffs for anyone not in a sports uniform.

He was caught on film today striking opposing players while violently swinging a helmet. Myles Garrett was given a 6 game suspension for similar behavior, though that was in a game and not a joint practice.

Definitely a larger season cushion than normal.

Yes

Well that’s just plain my fault. I didn’t see it. Thank you for setting me straight master.

I do too though i’m not sure it’s actually a positive direction.

We have threads for kids first peewee football games, posters moving from Portland, and peoples personal roster predictions - didn’t think a thread about Von recruiting OBJ was out of the realm of discussion. Or course if the mods don’t like it it can be deleted. I’ll understand. .

My question is - Did Von Miller photoshop this himself? Or hire someone to do it? Some planning actually went into this haha.

The relevant portion of the video (to the topic) starts at 5:05 ... for those wondering. .

That better be fixed by opening night. I like to know the scoreboard is working at the stadium when im at home watching on my couch.

Yes, they do that too. As well as to pre-season games of other teams.

In part, yes. I wasn't guessing or pontificating. I was outright teaching. A family member was a BLESTO scout for decades and the stories I've heard... NFL front offices are made up of human beings, just like you and I. They are swayed by reports, rumors, etc. Have you ever wondered why coaches and GM's say they will not consider trading X player, only to trade them weeks later? It's because if teams know that you're trading a player, you lose leverage. The simple act of stating that you wont trade a player, even when it is incredibly obvious that you will, creates a tiny amount of doubt in some peoples minds and that's enough. McDermott had an incident in 2019 where he lost his cool on Matthew Fairburn and cursed him up and down due to a negative report he made. McD knows how much it matters. It is also why ever since McDermott and Beane took over, NOTHING escapes One Bills Drive. No rumors. No leaks. Only what they want to be known. Tl;Dr - The current iteration of our front office has used the media wonderfully to their benefit.
