Principled organizations don't feed people to the wolves because "they're just a....."

Maybe a guy who didn't know he had an STD and tested positive after the encounter? Maybe a guy who got the STD during that incident? Maybe a guy who even got the STD from her? Maybe a guy who didn't even have an STD but knew she had sex with a few teammates of his that did? Too many conclusions being drawn on too few facts.

As an organization you probably do not want to send the message to your team that "we are all family! Unless things get uncomfortable, in which case we'll sacrifice you to satisfy the media at the drop of a hat. Sooooo don't get accused. K thanks."

Thanks. Thats what I was thinking. In terms of actions, they can cut him or send him home and tell him not to report to team activities. Its helpful to understand the options available. I see a decent amount of criticism being leveled at the team and league for failing to take actions that are not permissible under the CBA.

He knew he had an STD and he knew she was underage? I keep seeing this posted but haven't seen any proof. Only people jumping to conclusions from him telling her she should get tested.

Does that rule apply to team suspensions or is it limited to league discipline?

I won't be losing sleep over it regardless. With the assistance of alcohol I will be sleeping like a big boozy baby. I will not be impressed if the organization cuts ties with him and hindsight later proves the motivations were purely rooted in public perception. If the Bills or NFL conducts a process and the findings of such result in Araiza being cut or kept, I will be satisfied. I think the team's recent track record has been solid.

So you're advocating for extra judicial measures here?

That was a highly dishonest summary of the post you replied to.

The girl could be a rape victim (I believe she is) deserving of justice AND Araiza could still be innocent of the most serious allegations (no clue what to believe on this count. Sounds like he was at minimum involved in undesirable behavior regardless of whether hes found innocent of criminal offense). That is why we have a system of justice to sort these things out.

You don't think thats actually Terry's dog posting?

Crafting hypotheticals for others and then outraging yourself at the conclusions is not a productive way to have a discussion.

Where? Dry aged, prime, ribeye? What are we talking here? Outrage is not a virtue.

Not sure her health allows her to be directly involved these days. I had similar thoughts.

Link por favor.

The playoff game where the defense didn't get a stop, force a punt, or prevent a score on any possession? I'm not convinced they do anything well at this point. They still have Belichick who is the best game day coach and strategist in the league. But they also have Belichick the highly questionable GM and decision maker when it comes to drafting and pro personnel.

Does playing in Cleveland qualify someone for Comeback POTY?

Hemet is now John from Riverside. Hes been chased out of every town in Southern California.

He had a shoutbox argument with a few regulars and never came back. I believe it was political.

When Dawkins is using terms like pout, complain, reality check thats a major call out in the world of pro sports where diplomatic non-answers are the norm. The bolded above is as candid a response I have ever seen from one teammate to another in front of the media. I don't think Ford was well respected in the locker room. Good for Cody for having his coming to Jeeesus moment. Its not at all too late for him. This team is still questionable at RT and guard and has little depth.

I think most of the 3 years was just infrequent online interaction or mundane phone calls and then things heated up his junior year. He was only in a fake committed relationship for one year or less. I still think Te'o played up the dead girlfriend angle for attention. I think he liked the story and went with it even though he had admitted that there were reservations about whether Lennay was even real. I don't think he was in on the hoax. I think his interviews where he wont shut up about how he lost the love of his life were pure theater and he was exposed as being phony.

He was kind of nice until you said something disparaging about ginger bread.

Flacco hasn't looked like an NFL QB in 5 years.

My dad always said you could wish in one hand and **** in the other hand and see which one fills up faster. I don't know how that applies here but I recommend wearing gloves.
