Without knowing the details, it seems a reasonable assumption that attendees of a college party are beyond the age of consent. I just wonder if the Bills truly feel it is a wise decision to hedge their bets on the "mistake of age" defense?

I don't think I'm asking anyone for an ID at a party in college, he may be guilty here and have to pay for that but I'm not going to hang him for something like that... Now if he was more involved in pouring the drink and getting teammates to pile on then that's a different story Edited August 26, 2022 by ddaryl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall the incidents with McCoy/Dodson so I'm not saying your wrong, just curious Something happened with Ed Oliver too. Dodson was DV. I can’t remember Shady.

Yeah, But that doesn't prove Araiza caused it. If I was at a party and met a girl I didn't know, and she had nose and belly button rings or piercings? Yeah, I going to figure she's of age. What parent would allow their underage child to get nose and bellybutton piercing? Now of course, being that she's underage doesn't bode well for Matt. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 53 minutes ago, Back2Buff said: It's impossible to listen to WGR. The employer has to let the courts and legal play out before just believing what someone says. I wonder how Jeremy would feel if he got fired today because a girl said she had intercourse with him? Oh please. Get the facts right. A young woman was beaten and bloodied by 3-5 men on the football team. The next day went to the hospital. In understand some people want to whitewash this because it’s the Bills. But your boiling down of the situation is disrespectful. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His criminal attorney (in that clip posted earlier in the thread) makes it damned clear that the Bills knew about it before they cut Haack. There's no getting around that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsflyer12 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 41 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: That’s actually not true. It has be performance/ability related to be cut (remember the whole vaccine thing last year?). At this point it would be tough to prove that he’s being cut for those reasons after cutting Haack already. Sure they could cut him if he did something off the field. But as it stands right now The nflpa and his agent would fight it since he’s only been accused in a civil lawsuit at this point. I don’t believe he can go on the exempt list per the CBA as that’s related to the personal conduct policy and this occurred in college. Fair points. We will see what happens today, but the Bills have known about this for minimum 3 weeks. They could have cut him anytime during this time and kept other punter and called it performance. Bills have messed this up and have today to fix it. He shouldn’t dress or play for Bills, period. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, this is it. Unless they have some evidence that they truly absolves this guy, why keep him? 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this has been said no less that 100 times in this thread as if it is some sort of complex concept that everyone doesn't understand.

Eastside Oasis Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 She was 17. If the rape kit has his DNA, he's going to get charged with a felony. The police, however, will not release the result of the potential victim's rape kit to her. WTF? Those results will eventually be released and then we'll see. Not a great look for the Bills. May explain the draft day slide. Don't know if the video has been posted (have not been through the whole thread), but it was an open secret on campus. SDSU not looking great either.
