I told you. Rooster. I have a friend who'd probably contribute one.

Yeah, right - says the guy who is constantly running from thread to thread "policing" the board for "not allowing criticism" - while himself criticizing Go look in a mirror.

https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/how-much-joe-burrow-make-endorsements "Joe Burrow currently has deals with Lowe's, Bose, Fanatics, Buffalo Wild Wings, Nerf and Nike, as well as Ohio-based electric truck company Lordstown Motors" Oh, and apparently Kroger He's stated the goal to live off his endorsements and bank/invest his entire rookie salary. So, I dunno what TV you're watching, but if you think Joe Burrow is watching film and throwing at targets 24/7 during the off season, Think Again. https://youtu.be/Zlw-NAeUMHw Josh was not at the Rose Bowl. The Rose Bowl takes place January 1. Josh was getting ready to play the Bengals in Cincy on January 2, so on January 1 he and the team would literally have been in their Cincinnati hotel.

Username checks out 😅 TBD is so educational. I was *this* days old when I learned the meaning of grundle. 🎇

I am a qualified and knowledgeable source. Josh looks 🔥🔥🔥

we need a live rooster

Dude. What exactly do you think the NFL is about?

Jauranimo with the dunk

Please don't dis lentils like that. Properly cooked, lentils are scrumptious and delectable. I'm thinking that vegan Enchilada recipe I got off this board about a year and a half back (pretty sure it's this one). Dal Palak with nicely cooked basmati rice. Misir wat with fresh injara. That kind of thing.

Oh Good Grief. Please - go outside and watch a house sparrow or feed peanuts to a squirrel or something. I have no problem with people who disagree with me. If we meet IRL sometimes I buy the beers, sometimes they do. I do have a problem with meathead comments. Jumping from promiscuity/aggressively seeking sex to “wants to be choked bruised up and left bleeding” is a genuine Head of Meat certified utterance. I don’t agree that the Bills made a wrong decision by releasing Araiza. A 6th round pick is ~30% probability to make the team (another 30% to make the PS) so losing one is no huge deal. Araiza had question marks in his holding ability and directional punting. The civil case and possibility of criminal charges and resulting social media furor made him a lightening rod for controversy and a distraction, and also raised the real possibility of him being distracted by the need to prepare a defense. I feel the Bills made the team better by releasing Araiza and signing Martin, who did very well for us last season as a holder and directional punter. Is it unfair for a guy to lose his place on an NFL team for allegations that may be untrue, Absolutely, but public perception has always been a Thing for entertainers, and that’s essentially what sports figures are. And life isn’t fair. That is how it is. No. You aren’t right. That’s not the meathead comment.

Ooooh. No. Too far. I frankly don’t want to see him get political in any way. But an advertisement for New Era caps or whatever that was? Gillette shaving ads? Pfffht, Go For It. I keep reading stuff like this from you. Leaving apart my own experience and that of people I dialog with - which is that we criticize players on a regular basis here and experience no problems in doing so - has the fundamental contradiction between your expressed viewpoint, and the fact that you find multiple posts upon which to express it, truly escaped you? Newsflash posting some vague generalized BS like “he’s lost his edge” on a message board requires no “courage” at all.

She wasn’t at the Derby

I could be wrong,but I think he may have been reacting to some genuine meathead comments that have been made here. They struck me the same way

Low Slearner eh?

Check yourself, please.

Is this a serious post? In the (I think) 7 states + DC that recognize common law marriage, the first criterion for a common-law marriage is INTENT and mutual agreement to enter into a marriage relationship. Another criteria is public declaration or being "known to the community" as husband and wife. We purchased property once from a couple who met those criteria. They wore rings; they referred to each other has husband and wife, they had a child they referred to as "our daughter". Everyone in the community believed they were married and he was the father of the child, until she passed away and it came out neither was true. So even in a state in which common law marriage is recognized, the two of them would have to have an intent and mutual agreement to be husband and wife, and to present themselves as such. Living together and referring to each other as "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" doesn't cut it. Either way, Josh seems to have had his legal and financial act together stemming back to before the draft, so I'd be pretty surprised if the two of them didn't have a written "palimony" agreement spelling out the finances for how they cohabited and in the event of a breakup. As far as morality and commitment, that's really between the two of them. I don't expect sports heroes to be moral exemplars to the rest of us. Everything that's out there seems REO-Speedwagon-ish (heard it from a friend who...heard it from a friend who...heard it from another, you've been messing around). I do know people who have cheated in their committed relationships and the relationship has mended and moved on, and others who have cheated and the relationship ended. So either way it's between them. 7 years is a long time for a committed relationship. Their breakup could be as simple as she wanted to progress to marriage and have kids, and he didn't. Or it could be a recognition that they really don't have strong mutual interests any more - Allen is obviously passionate about football and golf, there have been hints in interviews and social media that maybe she isn't very interested in either outside of "support your man".

Thanks, good to know. I sit corrected. But that isn't what's happened here, AFAIK, right?

Actually it was the civil suit filed by the girl's grandstanding "try this in the court of public opinion" lawyer which caused this to blow up. And he's making it clear that he's not going away. I'm outta here now

Under law, there's no such thing as "proved innocent". For the sake of everyone who might face a false accusation, there really should be, but "not guilty" or "no case" is not the same as "proved innocent" In Araiza's situation, the prosecutor is saying they could not pursue criminal charges where the standard is "beyond a reasonable doubt", because there is evidence Araiza had left the party long before the alleged rape and that there is not evidence of unconsensual sex in the videos they have. These things create legitimate reasonable doubt. The accuser's lawyer is saying the evidence for Araiza having left is the statement of one of Araiza's friends, and that in the pretext call Araiza didn't speak as though he'd left the party. The plaintiff's lawyer is making it pretty clear they intend to pursue the civil suit where the standard is "more likely than not", so this isn't over. There's someone on this board who had the goal of a professional sport career at one time. they told me they just shot out of situations like that party, because of the potential for reputation-busting trouble. That's one way to look at it, another way is that we all can make our own luck to some degree.

I get it that you're upset, and to a certain extent I sympathize - obviously if the released information is vetted, Araiza has suffered serious and unjustified damages to his personal reputation and career. On the other hand, would you honestly consider the allegations in the civil lawsuit (still filed against him) to be "slightest indication of adversity"? I wouldn't, and I would have to disagree with you if you do. But yes, the NFL cares about money and its public image, and that goes for all 32 NFL teams as well. Correct.

I don't want to re-hash that long closed thread, but in California, apparently having a reasonable basis to believe someone is >18 is a legal defense.

I don't know how old you are or what kind of employment you've had, but I'm guessing pretty young an/or pretty limited. "Due process" is for courts Maybe for a few professions, like police officers, with powerful unions behind them, have a process around firing a union member What we have in the NFL is "employment at will". The team can release any player, at any time, for any reason. The league has clause in their CBA about not engaging in "conduct detrimental to the league", which is nice and vague and can be stretched in 100 directions. They drafted him because they thought he had talent and could help the team, despite ?? about his holding skills. They released him because he'd become a focal point for controversy, and the media shitstorm was going to be a massive distraction for the team. That falls under "conduct detrimental". They had no process which they were mandated to follow and didn't.

The thing about KC's ranking is that their best receiver is not a WR but a TE The Bills would like to move in the direction of one of our top 3 WR being a TE I believe. That's what the draft implies.

I was open for it, fair bust Though speaking of bust - and I'm 100% NOT "what you see on social media is what a person is", but still - if I had a daughter who just broke up with the famous and wealthy athlete she's been "living the glamorous life" with for 6 years since she graduated college - I would want her to work on building her own independent life right now, not doing stuff that looks like advertising for her next dose of sugar. Build her Pilates studio, get a job, pursue an advanced degree, spend 6 months on a church mission trip in Guyana, Whatever - just figure out who she is and what she wants to do on her own.

Nah. I just use Google. "Instagram Rachel Bush" will do it. I was curious before last season when folks posted some tweets of hers that were pretty much threatening to put the team on "blast" if they didn't negotiate Poyer's contract Right Now (fortunately saner heads prevailed) I used to follow a lot of players and their WAG on Instagram though, so I know what to search for. (I gave it up and deleted my accounts early in the Panini) To be fair, from what was posted elsewhere that was evidently a friend's caption (Google), not hers. But still, along with the "Girls" post, Major Cringe.
