Peter Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Is Shady supposed to talk with a writer (Bucky) from the newspaper who took the position that he should be cut before Bucky/TBN knew all the facts? Edited June 4, 2016 by Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanM.D. Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 As a Bills fan....the quicker this goes away, the better. I'd run with the 'my lawyer advised me not to talk about that matter' line until everyone gave up. Once football starts, it won't matter anymore. Not saying that's right... but that's the best play for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 The press' entitlement mentality is unreasonable and pathetic. McCoy owes no one anything and would be wise to keep his mouth shut and let this thing die a natural death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) IMO, McCoy isn't very media savvy and the Bills are aware of that. So I doubt they want to proactively prop him up to the press as I think it's a potential disaster. I don't think he needs to "apologize" and I'm thinking his lawyer has told him not to say anything about the incident.

BaaadThingsMan Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Nah. Shady doesn't owe anybody anything. There was an incident, a subsequent investigation and a decision not to press charges. Why should he now have to open himself up to trial by buffalo media? Every question he answers will be followed by a tougher question. Most if not all of those !@#$s base their questions on their own opinions of the matter. Whether those opinions are formed through evidence or ignorance they want to break the man down and I don't think he should subject himself to their bull ****. Personally I don't give a !@#$ what happened, I just want 1800 yars and 12 scores from the guy. Edited June 4, 2016 by NorCalBillsSabres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 As others have said, the case is still being investigated (yeah, right, they're allowing it to die a quiet death), so Shady won't speak about it on advice from his lawyer(s) at the least. Beyond that, why should he speak to the media about a case where he was coming to the defense of a friend against what appear to be "shady" cops? Just because some moron with a cell phone took a video, sold it to TMZ, and made the case far bigger than it should have been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is critical of the fact that McCoy has said nothing thus far. Thoughts? http://bills.buffalonews.com/2016/06/04/jay-skurskis-3-bills-thoughts-time-lesean-mccoy-talk/ Last I heard, McCoy's incident is still under active review by the PA State Attorney General's Office. Given that, I would expect that McCoy's lawyer would advise him to STFU and if McCoy were made available to the media, his repetitive answer to any questions should be "Guys, the case is still under active review, I know you want me to, but I really can't comment at this time on advice of counsel." How do they want him to address it? "I'm sorry I was at a bar at 2 am and sheet went down and the press went Bugf*ck reporting it" would surely be taken as failing to own responsibility. "I made a mistake and assaulted an officer and I'm deeply sorry for the injuries the officers suffered and the negative publicity for the team" would surely be taken as acknowledging responsibility and could have legal repercussions for McCoy.

No, it's not safe to assume it's dead. Assume nothing. The Philly FOP has a bug up its arse about this and they will hang on like a pitbull on a beef knuckle. And once every avenue to make it a criminal case has been exhausted, there still exists the chance of civil suit, where the standard of proof is "preponderance of evidence" not "beyond reasonable doubt" McCoy should be nice about it, but he has every right to serve his own self-interest and keep silent here.

Oh, I know the Philly PD is pissed. Too bad though. After over a month under AG review and after 4 months since it happened, and still nothing, I won't assume, I'll say it's dead. At least from a criminal standpoint. Whether the officers proceed with a civil trial is anyone's guess, but they have no evidence to prove that Shady caused their injuries. Because if it did, he'd have been charged well before now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
