If you haven't seen Matt Araiza you need to check him out. Would look good as a Miami Dolphin

Hate when these things happen period. However, I also hate when attornies get involve and say "let's wait a year after the incident, because none of these college kids have any money to sue for in civil court, However, if we wait until next year after the draft and then after training camp we can get more media attention and more money." Instead of waiting and chasing a civil verdict or settlement once Araiza secured an NFL contract, they should have pursued criminal charges as soon as the incident was reported.

To clarify, the alleged victim did not want to press criminal charges. If she was 17 and it happened in CA, the county/state usually moves forward with the charges regardless because a minor (the age of consent in CA is 18) cannot give consent. The fact that she and her attorney waited a year to file a civil case, right after he wins the Bills starting punter job, should at the very least raise a few red flags.

If this is the same case they have been investigating here locally over the last few months this could be very ugly for him. :ffic:
 
Civil case = Not an issue at all.

He may be a horrible person but even if he gets a small suspension like Watson he isn't forgetting how to punt in that time. He nay or may not get released but he will get picked up again in no time.
