I'm not talking proof. I'm talking PR in the court of public opinion. He needs a bigger megaphone than simply saying "I didn't do it..."

What he needs to do though is give the press something to quote or even write about, even if its just boiler plate. Right now, the media tsunami is all one-sided, And in America today, nobody's going to wait to make up their minds about this story...

Lots of stuff. Definitively say where Shady was, and with whom, on the night in question. Relay the history and timeline of the GF's squating. Muddy the water with some allegations and theories about her side (i.e., money grab). Silence is not golden here, unless he has a big smoking gun to pull out and shoot the whole thing down...

McCoy's attorney isn't doing him any favors right now by staying silent. The Interweb headines are 100% based on the GF's allegations. https://www.google.com/search?q="lesean+mccoy"&rlz=1CAACAG_enUS598US598&tbs=qdr:d,sbd:1&ei=U_dHW5fsI6Wxggf5g4_ADQ&start=0&sa=N&biw=1242&bih=570 Public perceptions can become "facts" really fast in a vaccum and he's got to (at least) shoot a flare shot up in the next 24 hours if he's going to defend Shady...

Good summation...

It's possible, but McCoy would be able to file a legal action against her for it's return, which would freeze up anything the jewelry store could do to him. Once it's in the legal system, it's essentially cast in amber like a bug and will remain inert for many years...

One thing I keep seeing in all the press reports is that the intruder asked for a specific piece of jewelry--the bracelet--like it was targeted. Could it be just as plausible that he saw it on her wrist (as she was conspicuously wearing it, even after being in bed at 3:00am) and said "give me the bracelet and any other valuables in the house." She may have interpreted it as a set up (since Shady had previously asked for the bracelet's return as well), but could it simply be a theft and/or crime of opportunity unrelated to their relationship? I'm not defending what happened or looking to exonerate Shady if he was involved, but there's a lot of static in her story that needs to get filtered out...

Re-posting as a Public Service....

Hey, stick to the topic. No need to bring up the Corney Bennett thread here...

Or did she see that he saw this coming and was setting it up to look like a set up and set him up to look like a set up set up?

The Buffalo News has more detail on those calls (gasp!...they actually broke something)... https://buffalonews.com/2018/07/12/police-called-three-times-to-mccoys-house-before-ex-girlfriend-reported-assault/ "McCoy also told police he was concerned that Cordon would take things or make false accusations about him and that he was being careful around her because of the "climate of domestic abuse in his profession."

Is that ex-boyfriend poss or ex-boyfriend pos? Hard to tell if it's a typo...

Yep. It's called probable cause. A judge would have to sign off on that request. Now, if Shady refused to turn over his phone when asked by the league (like Brady did), then he's cooked based on the conduct clause...

Yep. The reason Elliott was suspended was because the girl's allegation that he was the one who physically abused her. I can't see how Shady could be suspended if the league can't physically link him to the assault in his home. He'd sue them for defamation and probably have a strong case. And that's NOT a road the owners would want to go down, either from a PR standpoint or monetarily...

Lame-oh...

Don't forget real estate law and debate about dictionary utility...

Last refuge for people who can't back up their arguments with data or facts...

Many fruity flavors...

Post of the day...

TMZ copy cat?...

Then again, about one-third of TSW has a problem with difficult concepts...

So, get the top-rated defense attorney in the state of Georgia and have a great shot at making everything go away. Or get someone not as good and possibly have to worry about dropping soap bars in the shower. Not much of a decision, really...

That's for sure. Impressive bio... https://profiles.superlawyers.com/georgia/atlanta/lawyer/donald-f-samuel/8cdc6514-5afa-41db-9a0e-ee97c318090a.html

It's possible he could get the perp walk from Goodell, just because. But career ending without evidence? That would be some s*** show...
