If there is anything I am sure of, it’s that the Bills just found out about this within the last day or 2. Beane and McD aren’t going to burn down what they’ve built on a freaking punter. And they literally just had him in front if the media next to Josh 2 days ago. McD was just joking around about him this week on pardon my take. That’s completely opposite of everything else we’ve seen from them for 6 years if they knew anything about this. 

whether they or someone else who reports to them ***** up and they SHOULD have known at some point earlier is another story. 

 

Bills would not have said they conducted, past tense, if they just found out.  These private investigations/fact finding missions are not rushed and would take more time.

 

I think you're off base, assuming the Bills just found out in the last day or so.  Maybe about the civil case officially being brought forth, but not the underlying accusation.

Only thing that would be is that the recorded phone call with her is not what they claim it to be. I have a suspicion the bills didnt know about the phone call and thought it was a he said she said case and he claimed he did nothing wrong.

 

The suit alleges the cops prompted her to call and taped it.  This would be easy to prove.  It's evidence.

Just more evidence the Bills are comfortable with what they found in regard to their investigation into the matter.  So, like I keep saying, people should stop prematurely convicting and reserve opinions and judgement until we know what the Bills believe they know.  

NFL front offices are hardly moral compasses

I don't think anything "automatically makes a charge stick" anywhere, but according to the attorney interviewed in the clip linked above, not knowing the age of the alleged victim is not apparently a defense.

 

    And he was apparently already 22 at the time of the alleged incident per the report.  Certainly old enough to know better and not put yourself at risk with young girls.  In fact at 22 in college being a star on the football team you'd think he'd be in a steady relationship with someone in the appropriate age group.

Just like FSU did with Rapeis Winston.  The more things change, the more they stay the same.  Matt Arapeza.  ***** me.  How the hell did the Bills not do their due diligence on this guy?

 

Well who knew any of this 90 minutes ago? Did you? I didn't. None of the media did either or we'd have heard about it before today.

California’s Romeo and Juliet exception can change the statutory rape charge from a felony to a misdemeanor.  But it’s 3 years difference in age max. Araiza was 21 and the girl was 17.  Plus there’s everything else that is alleged to happen.

What does the law define as sex?

This CAN'T be accurate right? 

 

 


The Bills are obligated to have a punter I think. Possibly too close to get somebody else in? Generally when these things happen there’s always a backup OL, DT, CB, etc.
