    Yeah saw that , what was it like 2-16, 3-15 something like that?

     

    Over the past 5 years, teams favored in week 2 when they're on the road twice to start the season are 1-7 against the spread. Although I'm not sure what the win percentage was. Some of those teams might have won by less than the point spread. This is basically a pick em game so I don't know if the trend applies.

    Great article!

     

    Look at the O-line play here as well = just fantastic

    Plays like this are why I love football. The play design has to get one of the receivers open downfield. The QB needs to freeze the safety and throw accurately with anticipation. The offensive line needs to pick up the blitz. The receiver needs to run a good route to create separation. So much that has to go perfectly just to move the ball 20 yards. There isn't any other sport like it.

    According to the lawsuit, there were text messages which she kept.  If there are text messages or other evidence, the NFL really should (to be just) "Exempt List" him and open an investigation.

     

    A criminal case requires a prosecutor to file charges, and works to a standard "beyond a reasonable doubt"

    A civil case, even if there is evidence, can be filed by the accuser and works to a standard "more likely than not"

     

    Mind you I'm not saying it's a good case or justified, just that there's no reason to put it as "her story vs his" or "no hard evidence" until more is known, just because it went to civil court. 

     

     

     

    If there was hard evidence in text messages this would be headed to criminal court. That's my suspicion. Of course I'm not saying he didn't do anything. Somebody is boldface lying, there's no possible middle ground here.

    True, but the seed is planted. Even though you tell a jury to disregard a statement, it will always be in their minds! 

     

    This case will never see a jury. I suspect they filed it in civil court because they know there isn't any hard evidence. It is her story versus his. Which means it will be a big media story for a few days before blowing over. The only thing that would change that is if another woman came forward.

    I didn’t say they did prove anything. What I am saying is I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss it. Especially with Antonio Brown’s very odd behavior.

     

    I wouldn't dismiss it either. I read his and her versions and they both sound plausible. I'd be more inclined to believe the woman if more women came forward and I'd be more inclined to believe AB if he wasn't a total scumbag. As it stands I just don't know.
