Final roster is a term with a definition. Araiza did not make the final roster. Had you used the words “would have made”;you could make your case, but even then it would be opinion. Haack got cut. This means Araiza was beat Haack. That’s it. It is possible, even likely, that the Bills thought the SDSU matter was settled. It was also possible that they simply let Haack go and still had concerns about Araiza. Maybe the Carolina preseason game was a final audition. When they did let him go it wasn’t exactly difficult finding a new punter who was a known quantity.

Your definition of “final roster” is only slightly better than Tim Graham’s definition of “direct quote”.

Will they make me as smart as you so I can claim simple minded opinions have been proven correct by Madden simulations?

Pretty sure the 5th was for Hines and the 7th was for Marlowe.

I agree with all of that and am usually not the grammar police but you misspelled Eichole.

You’re halfway home. Now get a Madden sim where McKenzie has a good game and you’ll be fully vindicated. Maybe you can even write your congressman and get Beane fired.

Congrats to @Mike in Horseheads on his commercial

Try consulting a map.

Did you think it was Southern NY?

That’s because although you helped them, your incessant complaining about Asian carp left them wishing they stayed stuck in the embankment.

No Lobstah bisque in the OP. Boo hoo.

To be clear I’m of the opinion that people have been jumping to too many conclusions based on press reports for a long time now. It started right away, hit a crescendo when the hack named Tim Graham tried to corner Beane with a “direct quote” from Araiza that was nothing of the sort and continues now. I’ve read many places that Araiza has been exonerated by the DA but that is simply not true. The DA said there will not be charges unless something new comes to light. The details of the meeting reported beyond that do not come from the DA, they come from defendant’s lawyers and a little from the plaintiff’s lawyer. We need to have higher analytical standards than Tim Graham which should be really easy. With that said Matt Araiza should decide whether or not he should lay low and if not, he should decide with whom he chooses to interview. The NFL bending over to what it perceives as red/blue or whatever other metric it is measured against should have no bearing on that. He will never be able to control it. And some people don’t like Tomi Lahren so she should be shunned too? Maybe he should go on with Samantha Guthrie so she can treat him like she did that 15 year old kid she told “standing there” was aggressive. This walking on eggshells to appease the whimsical perceptions about people who generate mob mentality is unhealthy. He should do what he thinks is right. It’s called America, not Afraidica.

Spoiler alert: We all know you’re trolling.

You are aware that the Rams drafted him, not the Pats, correct?

All of what you wrote is spot on and you even left out some off ice escapades as well as the stunting of Dahlin’s development that seemed to be happening when Eichel was here. Look at that kid now. And the time he said the crowd was booing him because they want him back. I think the best summary is that Eichole was born and raised a mass hole. It will rear its head in Vegas at some point.

“Best sports deal in Arizona history” might be a low bar. What was the second best? I’m guessing BOGO pretzel night at the rodeo.

I doubt Tampa makes the playoffs but even if they do how do you know their game will be the one on Peacock? Are you saying the NFL is rigged?

Who here thinks Avi Loeb is a complete idiot?

Any updates on this?

Marv killed a guy? That escalated quickly.

So…..another whiny post about your supposed favorite team. Got it. Doesn’t sound like another phony to me at all. Look for about 12 complaints a week. But probably 14 gloating I told you so’s every time the Bills lose a game.

An article that came out yesterday was highly favorable to Araiza………but………it was an article with second hand accounts…….not an official statement by anyone. There won’t be any prosecution unless something very drastically changes so it does appear his name has been cleared from a criminal standpoint. That said, it is pretty clear that the civil case is still pending and while it may seem baseless to many it still has the capability of being a hornet’s nest to any team signing him. Every team has Tim Graham-esque beat reporters looking to get clicks by distorting things. Graham’s example was the definition of “direct quote”, another set of reporters would likely use similar tactics. Maybe a team will sign him now. I doubt it. If the case continues on its current trajectory I’d guess either 24 or 25.

Personally I think the Bills made the right choice for the Bills and for Araiza who would have had to endure a firestorm for which no 22yo is equipped.

Fine whatever but I could do without the superfluous “u’s” in every other word.

The Araiza thing or the Lucky Charms aisle? Link for either?
