The controversy quotient matters to discussion levels, and it's just not here. I mean, what's controversial about two guys stopping the sexual assault of a 71 year old former teacher in an open meadow of a public park in broad daylight? Everyone is glad he did it, even if he is a Patriot*** football player. Everyone is shocked that the assault was so brazen - you can suggest that perhaps an elderly person should not be perambulating a public park at 4 am or 11 pm, but 11 am on a sunny day is unexceptionable. The story has all the feels and non of the controversy, so aside from a few jokes about Bill cutting an honest and courageous man, what's to discuss? It is true b.c I wouldn't have heard about it if not for this site. On the other hand I know how many girls it's up to in the Watson fiasco.

The intervention was reported on a bunch of major networks (ESPN, CBS, USAToday, Yahoo, iheart, CNN, as well as local Boston and Arizona affiliates). Didn't see national FOX, could be there and I just didn't see it.

Then there's this: 11 am on a sunny day in an open field? Yikes. That's a comp pick in each round of the draft for the next 5 years... Belicheat planted this said "rapist"
