Hold the pitchforks. No lynching yet. If anyone here had sex with a women you didn’t know that looked under 25 and asked her for her ID ahead of time you may throw the first stone.

yeah the girl was covered in blood according to the complaint. So I can throw stones no problem actually.

Funny how Beane the other day in the Cody Ford press conference was saying they need to go back to the drawing board when evaluating prospects and seeing what went wrong with him. This might be another one.

 

If Beane didn't know what was there to evaluate? I'm sure Araiza didn't come to pre-draft visits trying to hump women at the facility.

I mean there’s enough detail/circumstantial evidence here - especially with Araiza admitting to a sexual encounter with here - that you need to suspend him until the criminal portion of this plays out. 

 

The accusations are heinous 

 

So wait, if Matt Araiza admitted to a sexual encounter - not described as rape - with a girl at a party - you feel he should be suspended?

 

Yes, some of the accusations are heinous, but the NFL has not suspended other players who were actually arrested and face criminal charges until AFTER the investigation plays out.

 

Can we just wait a minute to see 1) if criminal charges are filed, against whom they are filed, and what the charges are?

2) what the civil lawsuit actually states as Araiza's role in this?

 

If this happened as alleged, it's a horrible thing that young woman went through.

 

On the other hand, the cynical part of my brain notes that the lawsuit was filed very shortly after Araiza is pretty much locked in to have made an NFL roster with his rival already signed by another team and says "hmmmmm"

 

And doesn't everyone deserve some sort of due process?

so basically what Matt’s angle here is that he had sex with her consensually but had nothing to do with what happened in the bed room.  

 

Bit presumptuous to call him a "member"

How about if you've ever had sex w an intoxicated underage woman then taken her into the bedroom for three of your friends to also rape you can throw the first stone

[BillsFanNC]

If he's found guilty then throw the book at him.

 

Until then he's presumed innocent.

 

But carry on with trial by media I suppose.

California doesnt have one.  If he was 18 and she was 17 its a misdemeanor.  Up to 1 year in jail or probation and a fine.  Older that 3 years older and it changes to a felony with tougher penalties.  Thats what their law is. 

*OUT OF THE CONTEXT OF THIS STORY* what a stupid freaking law. So 2 HS Srs could date and have sex for 4 years, but on a magic bday it's suddenly illegal?

 

All the other zaney crap going on in that state, and this is where they draw a hard line? Strange, and before I get blasted there's not a parent to a son in existence that would think this should be illegal.

 

Clearly Araiza is older, and if true hes g2 go, but no rush to judgement till we can hear both sides. If he is guilty nfg, cut dude, g2 jail do not pass go

I'll throw the first stone then. 
 

And, not to mention, not knowing a persons age is not a defense in criminal court. 

[pigpen65]

Story is really ***** up. They have for sure Araiza admitting to statutory rape. My prediction is that he will be released within a couple of hours

So we're judge jury and executioner now based on an article everyone was just privy to two hours ago?

He's done, finished, caput. Nice knowing you. Bills can't afford to let this disrupt this critical season for a stinking punter. Anyone see McDermott letting this fester for a nano-second? NO-WAY!! The media will go crazy. All future questions will be about the PUNTER!! Cut their loses ASAP. Bring back Haack. He was good enough. The debate is over now. Let's get the Super Bowl.

Where does he say he had sex with her?

 

 

[BillsSbSoon]

How would Beane not have known about this. If this blows up he’s going to be forced to cut him asap

Haack signed with the Colts yesterday

[Rubes]

Beane must be slamming his fist against the wall, knowing he just released Haack and he signed with Indy right away.

This is really bad. It was out a month ago but didn’t get talked about.

 

 

 

 

I hope the Bills are looking for a new punter.  If he is part of this crap he should be in prison.  If the story is true of course. To me, it sounds like it is.
