Mistakes are one thing.
Repeatedly punching and strangling a pregnant woman is another.
If he does get the big deal and gets it from the Chiefs, “making it right” would involve a little more than just staying out of trouble and doing what he’s required to do to not go to prison.
She’s a prosecutor. Special victims background. But it’s not about a personal stake.
I would be disgusted by his actions, that he was drafted by my team, and embarrassed he played for my team regardless.
I won’t throw a fit. I’ll continue to be disgusted and embarrassed, though.
I don’t care what he does in uniform for the Chiefs. I don’t care if they win the Super Bowl with him.
My reaction to him will continue to be disgust that he plays for the team that I follow. And embarrassment.
I’ll give him credit for keeping his nose clean and following his rules. But that doesn’t change the way I feel.
My wife didn’t tell me that people who abuse women are pieces of shit. I’ve held that opinion for a long time.
All her work did was frame that opinion with the depressing reality of how many women stay - especially when children are involved - and how rarely “I just lost my temper that one time” is a true statement.
Duncan has a right to his opinion and what Reek did in the past was horrible, I think we all agree on that. But Duncan has been one of the most vocal critics of the pick since day 1 and absolutely Hates Reek. Now he has "Insider" info on a sealed case?
Seems suspicious at best. If the info is true, then Duncan broke the confidence of his informant, who supposedly disclosed personal information during an ongoing investigation by both CPS and the DA.
If you are going to condemn Reek as the media has, and state as a fact, he did this to his poor son, better post some proof- something the DA does not even have.
My grandson was being abused by his mother. When we went to court, I had mountains of evidence; pictures of the bruises, bite marks, punch marks, 3rd-degree curling iron burn on his hand- medical reports from 3 hospitals --and DFS did Nothing, the DA did Nothing and the Courts did Nothing.
If you are going to accuse someone of a horrible crime, you better have Proof instead of second-hand hearsay.

OR...you can read behind the lines as to who his source is; and extrapolate that perhaps there really IS inside information.
And if you weren't a little queasy when we took Hill in the first place, I'd be skeptical of your character, to be honest. I will assume that all of us were. Sometimes fundamentally good people do really ****ed up things, and I believe in second chances, so I have been willing to wait and see.
There's too much hearsay here to know what has transpired. I want to know, and honestly I think the team is going to have to answer questions. As the 'consumers' of a product, we have a right to an opinion.
I'm not burning him at the stake yet, but it doesn't look good. If you say otherwise, I think you're letting your desire for a trophy cloud your better judgement as a human being.
