That Aud Smell

Can't blame you for that. In general, when I jump into a thread like this one on page 16 or 17 or whatever, I almost never review what's been stated upthread. For my own part, I've enjoyed the banter. I mean, it's July, after all.

I'll weigh in: If you play 75 games, you've played a substantially full season. I'm not sure where the line is on having missed substantial time. Is 10 games "some" time? Is 15 "substantial" time?

^ He played just about his entire rookie season. But his past 2 seasons have been significantly compromised by high ankle sprains - missed nearly 20 games in both instances (I think more for the first one he sustained). I believe it was @pi2000 who theorized that the high ankle sprains may partly be a result of Eichel having unconventional skating mechanics. He's often not "on his toes."

Lol at her getting called out for being biased because she gets a hefty child support payment.

Understandably so!

Well, yeah, for sure. I don't have any problem with lawyers in their position putting out a press release that's designed to bring extreme pressure to bear on their client's opponent. For a public figure like McCoy, that sort of stuff can be far more effective, and expeditious, than slogging through the courts.

I can't think about that. I first need to digest that her name is pronounced CAR-inn. As in, park the car in the garage.

Colour me encouraged.

Lots of people in this thread have spoken to the issue of his changing his number. And everyone, and I think I mean everyone (other than you), who has spoken to the issue has said that it's unremarkable. Hence my proffered correction above. You're entitled to your theory, of course. It's just that, IMO, it's a wackadoo theory.

Well, I thought you more generally caught a whiff of some dormant political interests. I understand if you've subsequently concluded that your BS radar (or however you'd phrase it) was more triggered and later confirmed by the purchase of the Sabres being a prelude to buying the Bills.

There are plenty of lawyers out there who can't string a sentence together. That letter-statement-press-release was very unimpressive work product.

I very much doubt that catching this knuckle head will be an issue. What if the victim id’s the assailant? And says he’s one of McCoy’s crew? And says the guy was demanding that she return gifts McCoy had given to her? And leave McCoy’s house? That’d be quite a bit to go on. And it sounds like some or all of that is already in hand. And that’s to say nothing of the chance that this guy will flip on McCoy rather than face whatever huge sentence the DA will threaten him with.

Gotcha. in my mind, you were more honed in — and wound up pretty spot on.

Federal elections commission. They have a fantastic website.

Yeah - I'm not sure. Like trying to put the genie back in the bottle. Of course, it's entirely possible that the post was deleted for other reasons. Myriad other reasons, in fact. Bills statement: “We have spoken to LeSean and have been in contact with the National Football League. We will continue to gather information.”

Election law is notoriously technical. I'm sure there are reasons for the contributions being in the amounts and number they were.

Original Instagram post has been taken down (deleted). Not sure what the might signify. Possible that the cops could have asked for it to be removed?

Per another friend of the alleged victim: “This is my beautiful best friend Delicia Cordon. I can’t believe this!! Sending dudes in her house to pistol whip and rob her!! For what?! Now the world knows what we know!!! You will pay for this.. You will NOT get away with this!!!!” Per TMZ We’ve learned LeSean and Delicia have had a contentious relationship for a while -- according to docs obtained by TMZ Sports, McCoy went to court in June seeking to get a judge’s order forcing to her to move out of a home he owns in Alpharetta, Georgia. In court docs, McCoy wrote ... “Defendant is ex-girlfriend of owner/plaintiff and refuses to leave.” He also wanted the judge to force Delicia to return all of his items that were in her possession. In fact, the two sides were scheduled to appear in court on the matter TODAY -- but it might get pushed due to a medical emergency involving a member of her lawyer’s family.

Well, now there's a police report.

Like that girl from the party bus? I'm sayin'.

Hear, hear. There are public figures whom I admire. But I put no one on a pedestal. Not even ... Part of the issue right now: We don't even know who that woman is, when the picture was taken, etc. Shoot - there even remains a chance that the photo is not authentic in any way. I wait for more facts.

There I was thinking that these allegations could not get worse. Fair feckin' point. Why, you motherscratcher. Well, yeah - at this time, I'd have to say, for sure.

I'm gonna stand down for a while, I think. And I'm gonna stop parsing how other people are reacting.
