My most recent experience in Ohio is going to a wedding in Sandusky where the entire groom's guestlist were Ohio state troopers and we were the only ones on the bride's side besides direct family that made the drive in. I've been to some bad weddings before but that one was one was miserable. Even the dancing was angry.

I've always wanted to go but then I remember that I've never had a good time visiting Ohio. It's a whole thing.

This comes from a presupposition that women reporting rape lie more often than not when a certain amount of time has passed. There's no evidence or academic study to back that up as far as I know. I don't think your feeling on this is representative of reality. I'm tempted to go farther on that but I won't. I'd love to hear what the magical cutoff for believable rape claim vs. unbelievable. I think you'll have a hard time coming up with something that isn't completely arbitrary.

"It's not a valid crime unless it's promptly reported" is a really weird hill to die on.

Coleman looked great in those early highlights. I hope he can return to form in a big way this upcoming season.

I think we're done in FA on guys who will actually make the team. I wouldn't rule out an unexpected trade though closer to the draft.

There's a philosophical distinction between the court of public opinion and an actual trial setting. One is beholden to the presentable facts and must make a judgement based on those facts (and those facts alone in an ideal world). The other is an amalgamation of preconceived notions and opinion, which let's be honest, generally aren't the best informed. I also stay away from the "believe all accusers" mantra that you're trying to pin me on. What I said had little to do with belief one way or another. I want people to feel empowered to come forward if they choose to do so, and that we societally shouldn't dismiss it out of hand because it doesn't fit our view of what's appropriate for a "true" victim's behavior. Having snap judgement skepticism based on the amount of time that's passed before reporting isn't an effective way of finding out truth vs. fiction.

Obviously it's easier for the prosecution or civil suit if they've come forward sooner, I don't think that even needs to be said. When you criticize someone for coming forward after the (in your mind) appropriate timeframe it has a chilling effect. Some other victim may say "well I might as well not even bother" if the immediate public reaction is to shame the victim for not being prompt enough. As to the "gold digger" point, you can argue the opposite and it makes just as much sense. Wouldn't they have a much better shot to extract value out of this guy when he actually was earning an NFL salary? Why would you wait 30 years after someone's high earning career had ended? Baseless speculation just isn't helpful.

I think they've shown that outside of the Ed Oliver pick (who has been fine, but certainly not lived up to draft status) they don't really put a whole lot of value into the interior D-Line. Combine that with their love or smaller DTs and I think it's a glaring issue in their roster construction strategy.

I responded above, but calm down homie. It was less than 3 minutes after I emoted on your post.

There wasn't nearly as much of a support structure for women to come forward in the early 90s as there is today. Maybe they finally felt empowered enough to do so with other allegations about NFL players being brought to light. As a society we should encourage individuals or victims of crimes to come forward (especially if the perpetrator is in positions of power or notoriety). That's immaterial to whether not he's innocent in this particular instance.

Hunter is probably the 3-4th most important player on that team so it makes sense. He was a guy I really wanted the Bills to target but that obviously never happened.

Let's be real here. Practically every professional athlete is on some kind of PED, and you're kidding yourself if you think otherwise. The problem here is that they got caught. I guarantee you the majority of the Bills (and every other team in the NFL) are on something and everyone looks the other way.

Depth camp O-lineman with starting experience, I don't see anything wrong with that. He likely won't make the team.

ehhh. Ok… CB first round confirmed right?
