Strangulation (almost always man doing it to a woman) is the #1 predictor of future murder. I will never look at Diggs the same way. **** his abusive ass.
The NFL needs to be very, very careful here. If they do anything against the player, and get it wrong and the DA fails to prosecute, then the lawsuits will collapse the NFL. Especially if the Patriots failed to win the Superbowl.
If memory serves me, the NFL will put a player on the unable to play list in some circumstances before an investigation takes place. the bar is a lot lower then the law to punish the player if the NFL finds they were naughty. The issue is they almost always need the accuser to come before the NFL and nearly every recent case the player and accuser settle out of court and that ties the NFL's hands.
Don't get my hopes up. At this point I don't care who plays in the SB or wins it as long as it's not the Eagles with their false starts that allows them to score or the Steelers, but that's just because of Rodger who finally needs to retire.
The DA in Norfolk County getting it wrong? Failing ?
They really don't. I've had some time to ruminate on this and the NFL is a business, all they care about is public perception and if it looks better to put Diggs on the does not play list, they will do so. There's 31 NFL teams who could care less about the impact this may have to the patriots chances,
Everyone is, the Eagles are the only ones hiding it in their tush push formation which makes it impossible for the refs to see. The NFL also issued an order to watch for the Eagles false starts. Not false starts in general, not KC, not any other team, but the Eagles.
LOL. Too funny. You should write (more) fiction.
Thanks for the links.

The NFL commissioner can do whatever he wants and has quite often. He essentially has dictatorial powers. Anyone who thinks he needs to follow accepted standard corporate or judicial procedures hasn't been paying attention.
And no, the owners don't wet themselves and sue him. There was this same bunch of Pats fans whining BS over Spygate (2007), Deflategate (2015) or Sideline filming (2020) punishments (picks, fines, suspensions, etc.). Despite Kraft's whining after the Deflategate punishment there were no lawsuits.
Here is an article describing Deflategate as a makeup for the pathetic league punishments and sweeping under the rug of the years of signal collecting in Spygate.
Spygate to Deflategate: Inside what split the NFL and Patriots apart
The widespread perception that Spygate was worse than was ever made public turned Deflategate into what one owner terms a "makeup call" by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and his league.www.espn.com
This, deluded Cheatriot fans, is why most other fanbases don't root for your success, don't sympathize with you in any manner whatsoever, and associate the Patriot dynasties, Bill and Tom forever with cheating. Its not jealousy, its not delusion, its established fact. Its really obvious when the Steelers get rid of long time defensive players and the Patriots snap them up for a couple weeks then let them go what was going on.
If optics don't enter into it, a proper Spygate punishment would have been lifetime bans for at least Belichick and a playoff ban for the Patriots of at least 10 years.
Actually, I have heard any facts suggesting that the Patriot hatred is not motivated by jealousy and delusion -- ten-year old shoddy and biased reporting notwithstanding.
I definitely think the bucs are heading for a loss. The ferocity and performance they had in the beginning of the season has largely cooled down. I think the pressure is really on them to win, more then the panthers, even though they need the win as well
