I didn't expect Cook to make it, good for him. Tua making it on the list feels pretty silly especially after another year where he missed significant time after an injury.

Maxwell Hairston named in civil lawsuit for sexual assault

If you were an attorney and the person your client sued was about to sign a multimillion dollar contract, would you advise your client to file before or after the contract was signed? -

This is beyond parody. Really the perfect summation of discourse in the social media era. Brazen ignorance is not a badge of honor, contrary to now popular belief. -

This is equally as bad as people assuming Hairston is guilty. -
Brandon Beane "might be the most sensitive GM in the entire NFL"?
HappyDays replied to BADOLBILZ's topic in The Stadium Wall
Having Tre White in the 13 seconds game very well could have been the difference in that game, Levi Wallace messed up his coverage on the fateful drive that got them into FG range. And having Benford on the field this past AFCCG may have made a difference on one of those drives where Elam was completely hapless in his coverage responsibility. CB is not as critical as pass rusher, but it is still absolutely a difference making position. Especially in playoff games where the margins are thin. -

This presupposes that if an accuser loses their case, that definitively means they lied. That isn't true at all. Sometimes the best thing the courts can decide is that they don't know what happened which means no one is held liable and everybody has to just move on. I think the reason that these discussions get so polarizing is because most people are unable to accept such an unsatisfactory conclusion and want somebody in the story to be the bad guy. The world of course doesn't work that way. -

Oh sure I think anybody assuming anything about this case is nuts. It is a pure he said/she said from 4 years ago. But I am already seeing some takes online, including in this thread, about how Bills fans are hypocrites if we criticize Browns or Chiefs players, and I just want to be clear that every case should be looked at separately on its own merits. -

Because they rightly assumed the worst case scenario would be a civil lawsuit followed by either a quick settlement or a dismissal. This story is not going to follow Hairston throughout his career. It's barely even a story today outside of the Bills fanbase. -

Mostly agree with the rest of your post. Just to be clear though there is no comparison between this case and Watson's. The reason I'm confident Watson is guilty has nothing to do with the uniform he wears. It is primarily the number of accusers confirming the same general story that makes me confident. Plus there is zero wiggle room for nuance or implied consent in what he was doing. Hairston's case is much murkier. One accuser, and circumstances where consent is a lot more difficult to ascertain for people that weren't in the room when it happened. -

Also worth noting that she filed a police report back when Hairston was just a visiting college freshman, not a 1st round pick, which counters the notion that this has just been a big money grab. There is an increasingly common double standard that is happening with these cases on social media, where some of the same people saying "innocent until proven guilty" are quick to immediately pronounce the girl as a lying money grabber. Filing a false report is in fact also a crime so innocent until proven guilty applies in her case as well. -

All civil lawsuits are by definition money grabs. She filed a police report back when the incident allegedly happened and has posted about it on social media over the years. She is now trying to pursue her final chance at some kind of recourse. My speculative take is that the girl genuinely feels like she was wronged, but that doesn't mean she actually was in a legal sense. There is in fact a middle ground on this issue between "Hairston is a rapist" and "the girl is a lying money grabber." But it's a very messy middle ground with no clear answers.- 387 replies

Not only was he not charged, the matter was investigated and dropped due to lack of evidence. The girl has posted on social media about it several times over the years but there has never been any corroborating evidence, so I don't know what she or the law firm are expecting to happen here. I would guess they're hoping for a quick settlement.- 387 replies

TE Darren Waller comes out of retirement and traded to Dolphins
HappyDays replied to Dablitzkrieg's topic in The Stadium Wall
Weird move. Waller can't block which is part of what made Jonnu Smith valuable to that offense. I guess we'll see if he has anything left in the tank as a pass catcher. -
It is good for the Bills. Last year we had trouble separating outside, and one of our division rivals now has nobody that can cover outside. Bills fans have an unduly negative opinion of Ramsey because of comments he made in the past about Allen. He is no longer in his prime but he is still a very good outside CB. In our matchups last year our WRs couldn't do anything against him.
