Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘due diligence’ as in what you should be doing when you’re drafting a player as in the Buffalo Bills punter Matt Araiza was hit with a civil suit on Thursday for the alleged gang-rape of a 17-year old woman last year. Another terrible situation. Another crime. Another sexual assault against a woman by someone in the NFL. So now what happens? Why are the Bills not cutting him right now? Why did the Bills cut their other punter knowing this happened? (10:20) So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about Bryce Harper’s return to the Phillies and if the timeline was moved because of how good his two rehab games were. Is it okay to move up a timeline? (17:15) Bryce Harper returns and now Zach Wheeler heads to the IL. Oh boy. Looks like it’s a forearm issue to and we know what that means. What about the Yankees? Stanton returns and Nestor Cortes heads to the IL. Timing. Timing. Timing. (30:00) Review: Man From Toronto. (33:30) NFLPA president JC Tretter announced his retirement from the NFL, but he’s not going down quietly. He said the NFL doesn’t want him to have a job because of who he was with the union. Hmm. (39:50) NPPOD. (43:25) Chet Holmgren will miss the entire season. Lisfranc. See ya. The Thunder are FURIOUS.

0:27.6	Friday always means the start of a weekend, which is great for everybody unless you are
0:32.4	in the Buffalo Bill's front office.
0:34.9	And you are faced with a story where your rookie punter, Matt Eriza, has been accused
0:41.3	of gang raping a 17-year-old while he was in college while he was over 18, which of course
0:48.3	would also be statutory rape.
0:51.6	There's no reason to get into the details of exactly what happened, but I want to explain
0:56.2	to you why the NFL and why the Buffalo Bills are in a situation of their own making and
1:02.3	how do they get out of it.
1:04.4	A couple of details first for you to wrap your arms around what's real and what's not real.
1:11.1	When a player is in college, no matter what that player does, it doesn't matter.
1:17.1	From murder to rape to gambling to steroids to anything.
1:23.0	The major league, Major League Baseball or the National Football League, they have no
1:28.8	right to discipline any player for any action that takes place prior to that player being
1:35.3	in the union, prior to that player being drafted and being on the roster of a member franchise.
1:43.4	So let's make sure we have that fact.
1:46.2	However, there are systems in place that all teams should have when you are drafting a
1:53.3	player.
1:54.3	NFL, MLB does not matter.
1:56.5	NBA.
1:57.8	We do not just background checks.
