Now all of y’all owe that man an apology
and trevor bauer, but espn won't cover it
The police investigation cleared the kid of the charges… can we get the panel together again to discuss?
Didn’t think so.
Well this aged well. Not only was he innocent but Irving as well faced sexual assault accusations since.
Exactly
ESPN will refuse to cover it like Trevor Bauer
My, how the tables have turned. So much for innocent till proven guilty. All of you who trashed Matt owe him an apology.
So when are these guys @ ESPN going to apologize for how they talked about Matt Araiza when these false accusations came out? Especially Michael Irvin. He should be the most ashamed. Cause he has had women make false charges on him before & after this incident. He should have had the courage to be brave enough to make sure no one came to a quick judgement.
Guilty until proven innocent?
If this is the standard to fire a person before due process, then I’m one day away from being fired at any time. You don’t have to prove anything, you can go get me fired at any second of the day.
Suspension until we fulfill due process, maybe, but he’s done. His career is over. No one is going to pick him up. Guilty or innocent, he’s done.
The fact people have taken their lives amid all the controversy and court proceedings only to find out IT WAS ALL B.S!!! There needs to be a law that protects the alleged accused " We're at that point, Whether people like it or not"
The real question is what would happen if he was a QB taken in the 1st round instead?
The browns would’ve probably given him the most guaranteed money ever
exactly not the color of his skin its insame he would make that statemnt bout race after deshawn watson showed us what happens if they black lol
The details coming out about this case are so horrific that don't think there is any franchise that could look the other way for anybody. The only case I can remember being worst than this involved murder charges.
@@callmezebco1376 trust me, they would have cut him as well if he was a punter too.
@@callmezebco1376 If your first thought is what race is he? Your the fkn racist, Michael Irving!
These guys don’t have that same energy for Tyreek Hill to was CONVICTED (not accused) of beating a pregnant woman and breaking her baby’s bones!
As long as Hill is in the league these dudes need to stfu about anyone else.
Absolute cowards, you owe that man a public apology
IRVIN - "I dunno how they kept this from getting out"
UMMM.....same way Jerry Jones kept covered up the fact that you committed attempted murder by cutting a teammate's throat over a haircut.
Can't forget about his coke problem ethier
I agree of the three clowns he should be last at throwing stones ….
lmao he acting like he wasnt protected 😂
Well, the slander of the Ravens drafting Jordan Stout over Araiza is history.
Ironically, I think you can make an argument that Stout was the better choice even just mechanically. Araizas raw power is impressive, but his finesse is lacking. People who take him may be banking on the idea that finesse can be taught, but sometimes finesse cannot be taught. The only category of punting where Araiza out-performed Stout was in pure distance kicked. As a Bills fan, I actually was pulling for Stout as our punter.
And Tampa for drafting Camarda
And Stout be booting it
Araiza also the most overrated punter of them all, sure he has a leg but thats it. He's like getting a horse to kick a ball, no brain all hoof
The Ravens have always been great at drafting
The media have way less energy for this than the Watson situation. No over the top crying and screaming for how many games bans, no crying and screaming about his contract not fair. Just regular this wrong blah blah.
If he's innocent I hope he sue's everyone including ESPN
Hes not though, unless the official evidence is just a straight up lie.
@@kylerkafoury2438👀
ESPN is some Bozos 🤡 Especially Molly !!!! She went so hard on Watson, but quiet as a church mouse 🐁 on this situation 🤦🏾♂️
Exactly! Fake outrage.... The punter must not be a big enough star for them
Yep! Same with Irving and Rodgers. They still can't get over those two and they were right
The fact the Ravens drafted Stout proves they can’t miss in the draft
elite front office
And how many playoff wins has that resulted in?
@@KA-te7nd 2 Super Bowls wins since 1996 since entering the league in fact. The only teams with more since that span is Denver and New England.

@@KA-te7nd as are you bringing up Lamar Jackson's past playoff performances.
So if u can live in the past with bad moments I can live in the past with great moments
It’s crazy how Molly didn’t say anything.
Maybe she just doesn`t want to judge someone before found guilty.
@@kYnTso Like she did with Watson even after 2 grand jury’s tossed the cases?
@@kYnTso lol yeah okay
@@kYnTso she said a lot about Watson tho but don’t forget white don’t eat white they protect their own
Annnnnd it took 54 seconds for ESPN to bring up race. They wonder why their ratings are falling off a cliff
Matt Araiza doesn't have a black privilege card, like Deshaun Watson does. If Matt was black, he would still be with the bills
Ratings are falling because white folks don't like to hear the truth bout themselves and their culture less lifestyles.
I applaud Irving for what he said
These people owe him millions, plus all the other media channels that ruined his life, on top of that new laws need to be put in place to punish false accusers, that woman should be in jail.
“As a father of daughters…” the best few lines I’ve ever heard from Stephan A
Look who he is though. He’s a sellout
@@Amor1990 lol you a sell out
@@snuggles24 SAS is a sellout. Blsk have the worst role models, which explains A LOT
@@petep5207 No he's not we as black people just love making excuses. One guy can do it but God forbid he's black and do it 🤡🤡
They have not proven anything yet
Maybe she should not have been there if she was underage! Parents should be mindful where their out of control children go! THE girl was so drunk she had no recollection who she slept with! WHO gave that child the booze in the first place? Also they should be responsible along with the parent's! THEY ARE ALL GUILTY!
This hasn’t aged well.
Where’s the energy from Molly? This is a way more egregious accusation than what Desean Watson was accused for. . .
@Matthew Walker add to that Watson how the prosecutor or cop don't remember correctly. Lives on the same block as the owner of the Houston Texans
That’s why nobody takes her seriously she picks and chooses
I’ll never understand a group of people coming together to such a horrific act. Not one person spoke up. Can’t process it ..
She allowed herself to not be in control of her actions. She doesn’t know what she did or didn’t do. Sounds like she was a willing participant the whole time. The boys were too rough. Her piercings got caught in the sheets. But too young to give consent. If it occurred Couple months later, none would be an issue.
Just acid their face or use guns like other people do. I Hope someone speaks up about Afghanistan, etc.

I have so many questions about all of this now…
Y'all wanted to tar and feather Watson for a crime that the police department said that he didn't commit. Now you are tip toeing around this guy. The black elephant in the room
Exactly! He said I’m tired of talking abt this. Nah!!! Don’t be tired now. Talk abt this for 8 weeks like they did Deshaun Watson

Here goes another lawsuit and not criminal charges. You are not a victim if you are just seeking cash. It means if something did happen you have a price tag. I’ll never believe anyone who goes for cash only in a criminal matter.
It took 45 seconds for the racism card to be played. Apparently everything is related to racism.

Undercover racists get mad at some imaginary race card... America is racist period
Did Michael Irvin really just say what would happen if it was a black kid? He’d get a record-setting deal with the Browns and have it back loaded so if he gets suspended it won’t hurt him financially as bad as it could.
this is a deranged comment
Gang R*PE and sexual assault is waaaaayyy different be serious

No this is a rookie punter vs a star Qb ur stupid if u don’t see that

@ny giants fan raider fan this is true. Also a raiders fan 😂
@@rulerzigzag or maybe.... everything isn't about race and calling everything racist doesn't help black people it hurts the cause more than it helps. Its like the story ur told when ur a kid about the boy what cried wolf. By calling everything racist it takes away attention from true racism.
As a Bills fan from birth and a long time Bills Mafia member this team has something special. It’s seems BB & SM have created an atmosphere that players seem to love both on and off the field. So no matter guilty or innocent the Bills don’t need something like this messing that atmosphere up. I’d love to see OBJ in a Bills jersey, but I also don’t want the drama he has brought in the past, again something special they built could get turned around by one bad egg.
Didnt age well did it? Guilty or not? U need to get your head checked
Two bad eggs.
The lying skeezer, and her lawyer.
Molly had a lot more energy in the Watson issue!
Well somethings actually been done here, he’s been cut, Watson got a stack of cash
Ong
Because Watson hadn't faced any consequences, this dude got cut moron
This punter wasn't given the biggest guaranteed contract in NFL history!!
@@kingofdubs so what he did it🤷🏿♂️ keep the SAME ENERGY
well said...
"I don't know how they kept this from getting out"😞 Yes tf you do, and listen to how compassionate and calm they sound. They had SUPER smoke for Deshaun, with no proof, the complete opposite of what SAS just said😒
smh feel bad for any non blck person but have smoke for blck ppl(men)
this punter is out of the league.
Deshaun got the most guaranteed money in league history
@@SmartDave60 so it’s how they approach it that makes it a problem!
@@realmontana6838 no one on the panel disagreed with him getting kicked out of the league.
Is there a more severe penalty the league can apply?
@@realmontana6838 whenever somebody bring up money in an argument, you know they a loser. As if Deshaun getting paid, has anything to do with how he was drug through the mud publicly.
Idk what’s the whole story I’m not gonna judge until the thing comes out but I will say this the NFL is clearly not doing very thorough background checks on these players before they draft them this right here is insane credit to the Bills but there needs to be more information on these players instead of just looking at the football side
The report came out recently I believe? Could be why
@@sirhoopalot1125 well they need to be better. Imagine one of these days an NFL team drafts a QB high in the first round and something like this comes out of nowhere? What happens then? People would be fired.
@@johnnyjets2343 that’s on the kid lol
There needs to be more information laid out for me to make that claim. The NFL this and the bills that.... filing a claim might not have been public. There are thousands of players from practice squad to the actual team. You can't manage every single individual. That's like saying we need to do proper checks on every single person walking into a dunkin' donut. They might be a felon.
There is so much to factor in bc the NFL is a big organization. You can't just racially profile or condemn "alleged" cases
@@johnnyjets2343 Sounds like you believe in "Guilty before innocent"
No fake outrage Molly?? Ohhh I get it! You have to be a superstar QB.
There's always different for different athletes. Interesting takes.
Michael Irvin hit the nail on the head. If it was a black kid he would b treated worst
@@trumpwon8064 man ESPN made 100 segments trashing deshaun Watson and a grand jury decided not to prosecute him..... this dude admitted to doing this... just compare the energy from this video to any 1 of the DW's videos....

Stephan A. being the voice of reason shows how far down ESPN has gone. Let the case play out in court. D. Watson...we all know what getting a "massage" from a female really means. Women play the part of innocennce, or even participant, then when they don't get what they want, seek criminal/civil settlement when it comes to high profile athletes. Ask Molly. Like she thought Jalen Rose was a good person. Money, money, money, money.🎶
I mean... I know it's Stephan A but that was a really good take. Never thought I'd live to see the day.
@@SomeSurvive good take? Anyway matt's career is done even though he is innocent so well done.
Really. Michael Irvin? Preaching? I have seen it all.
Hey Molly....where's that energy you have for Watson on this one?????
LOL why is Mike Irvin talking on this topic like he wasnt at Miami U in the 80's?? He and those boys probably did that type of stuff every night
Wit older women try again
You don't even know if this is true or not you people outside.. that's why people watch Fox News so much y'all don't wait for the facts to come out🤦🏾♂️
My mind too
What happened to innocent till proven guilty.. Does an allegation automatically prove you guilty..
innocent until proven guilty is a joke. It has never worked that way in America. Our justice system says that but law enforcement has never worked that way
Do we know all the facts? We have no idea what happened.
The facts that we know are that he has a serious lawsuit on his hands.
Exactly it's not about if he's guilty if u find yourself in this situation your gone immediately and the allegations was extremely egregious
He’d be a great fit for the Cowboys
I think he's a shoo-in for the Browns.
Jeez all you gotta do is mention the cowboys and you got all those like hope u feel cool🤡
We do need a kicker haha
Here's a napkin on behalf of all us Cowboy fans too wipe your chin considering how many times that the D is constantly in and out of it.
@@johnnyramirez3260 yeah your clearly on the zesty side for you to sit there and type that 😭👨🏾🦯
"Trinity, now do you believe?" Have they each apologized to Matt yet?
Dan looks bad now. Sue the Bills and NFL.
Molly was all hype on Watson but all quiet about that white boy
My same sentiments.
Matt Araiza doesn't have a black boy privilege card, like Deshaun Watson does. If Matt was black, he would still be with the bills
Preach Stephen A! Thanks for saying what needed to be said.
You mean lies?
@@joelgriffith1654 I get it, but at that time the Bill's couldn't afford the distraction. They faced enough adversity throughout the year and this was just the beginning. I am glad he was found innocent but at the time it was not something that the team could handle.
@@B-TroopBastard20 i just find it sad all the media coverage when they thought he was guilty to the poimt he was released. Now dude is innocent and i have yet to hear any mention made by espn or any other televised sports show.
What needed to be said?
Mr. Smith is a talker but not a walker. Lol preachin' bs
He looks like he did it tbh , fits the description of the usual suspect of those type things
If it looks like a hapist and acts like a hapist.. Its likely a hapist....
Facts
There's no way the Bills didn't know after Araiza was falling in the draft. I'm sure the Ravens knew as Araiza wasn't even on their draft board to begin with.
On the other hand...One could also see where an organization has to be somewhat objective and fair based on the information they have at a given time. "Hearing" about a situation TEN MONTHS ago, and the University makes no statement, the police make no criminal charges, and no civil case was put forth (until last Thursday)? Lots of questions there, a delicate balance by the Bills. Then there is Araiza's own statements to the Bills after hearing from the alleged victim's lawyer- at a time when there was still no civil case. You basically have a he said-she said situation. The civil case being filed, gave the Bills the juice they needed to terminate the bad hombre. Great job Bills. And if any other organization in the NFL had facts (not just basically rumors at that point), in the case- well shame on them for not sharing with the Roger Goodell!
He's innocent.
Can't imagine the reaction if the Patriots drafted him
Would never hear about it because the Patriots are irrelevant
Why molly not mad going off like watson case 🤷🏿♂️🤯🤯
Thats what they do wit their own people
Some more go pop out this season just watch 👀
I agree he should be gone, but if you're really that worried about image then why does Watson still have his job cause allegedly he did similar things to 24+ women or the RB from the Saints who help beat a man to near death in Vegas 1 day before the Pro Bowl??
Molly. Where is the Watson energy?
I came back to this to see how bad they slandered him but you really can’t be to upset with what sas said. He even said to bring him back if he’s proven innocent. Obviously it didn’t work here but as a general rule of thumb I don’t hate teams cutting ties with someone that has these kind of allegations against them. With that being said it’s pathetic that ESPN hasn’t mentioned anything about it since his name was cleared
BYU volleyball still waiting for the de facto mea-culpa they offered Matt Araiza today.
So the Bill excised themselves from a toxic situation. A prudent move. No criminal charges have been presented by the SDPD and a civil suit has been levied against the punter. A civil case will take longer and will have lesser a burden to prove its merit.
If you set the precedent that remove someone who is accused it presents a bunch of other issues. It may work if the individual is guilty but what if he isn't? Someone could make an accusation against a teams top player around Super Bowl just to have him removed from the game especially since rarely are there any punishments for fake accusations. Personal responsibility has to factor in these type of cases in the future for both the accused as well as the accuser
there have been allegations against big time players (that have been true) and they didn’t get dropped so I don’t think there’s anything to worry about
@@realer2748 wouldn’t the fact that they weren’t dropped be something to worry about? Especially if their attempting to act in the name of justice. I was just stating that actions taken should require more than just a accusation. Obviously they don’t care about justice and only do what they do to appease the most powerful court that ever existed that of public opinions. In general in different careers people are removed from labels loose sponsors and much more day one of an accusation. Media knows they would be destroyed if they so much as hint that any accusation may not be true so they attack the accused. This is all part of a pendulum swing where in the past no woman was believed even with proof to now everyone is believed regardless of proof. There’s got to be a better way not just for the NFL but everyone as a whole.
@@BR-bd1nv I just feel like if the man is guilty and if the woman was proved to be lying then that woman needs to face some type of time in jail or come off some money cause once stuff like this gets out you NEVER get your name or reputation back
Most allegations come out to be true man. You cant just ignore it for the minority of the case.
@@gregoryjohnson7043 who said anything about ignoring anything? Also most studies since dating back since 2010 show somewhere between 2%-10% of sexual assault claims are false. It’s not ok to ignore the 2%-10% people who have their lives ruined either. All I said is there need to be a higher standard (more than an accusation) to take action against those who are accused. If they want the Police to investigate let them do so. They said that Law Enforcement was looking at taking action let them. Anyone could be one accusation away from losing everything if all that is required is an accusation
Lol bro they talking calm about this guy but Deshun it was different smh
man michael irvin is one to talk bro we aint forget
Can we get the same energy that yawl had for Watson Molly stephan a
The only way a Punter makes the news
Thank you Dan! It's dehumanizing how the NFL bros think of women.
He just said he don’t care if your guilty or innocent get rid of the player and that’s why til the end of time some women will use sexual assault accusation as a weapon towards men because of men who think like Stephen A
I mean 1 played was white, 1 was black and 1 was Hawaiian. I don't think race was the reason this was delayed. I think the investigators didnt want to mess up their local universities fame with Araiza. Absolutely deplorable
How is deshaun still playing?
Pointless information
Some of you guys need to be on a watchlist from these comments.
How the turn tables
Football players been running trains on girls, she probably regretted after and come up with a story saying she was forced
Three months later...
I wonder what the bills would have done if Josh Allen was accused of this??
What’s not shocking is who Stephen A works for.
Didn’t Michael Irvin get caught up in some craziness back in the day?
And just like that another player is convicted without a trial
He’s not in jail
@@christianmcmahon1029 It's a play on words in regards to a team kicking him off the team before he is convicted of anything
@@hankb9042 The NFL is a private organization that is not restricted to the same confines as a court of law. Innocent until proven guilty only applies within a courtroom, its not a universal rule or law.
@@hankb9042 I’m aware. But he’s not in jail
He was rightfully kicked off a team
It's kind of like how a private business has the right to refuse service to anyone. They NFL can technically kick out any player that they please.
If she didn't lie about her age or had gone to age appropriate events is there a chance she could have avoided the misfortune of experiencing this horrible incident.
This is why Molly didn't say anything about the topic
No it shouldn’t have went down
The NFL where you are guilty until proven innocent lol.
If he was a Top QB they would extend his contract.
Lmaoo
Qb more important than P
If he was Tom Brady they would give him a ring
Dan O. Is he innocent or not? Easy to judge than to retract.
what the bills found out in the last weekend that they didnt know before was that the assault because public knowledge
A case was filed. That's a big difference.
Why did it take this long to come out? If this is completely true why wasn’t he charged with something last year?
He should have been a quaterback
I’m gonna need the same energy when theres overwhelming evidence as when y’all barely have any.
It’s these guys with millions of dollars who think because there rich they can do whatever they want
Innocent until proven guilty not according to ESPN
What if he's innocent???
Ummmmm, he’s the freakin punter y’all…no sweat of the Bill’s back in releasing the effen punter!! Geez ESPN, you are all acting like he is the first round pick Quarterback. No offense to the punters out there that value their craft, but they are right anyone the water boys on the team. Let’s keep it moving.
It doesn’t matter if he’s a punter or the place kicker, he played for a professional football team and committed a horrible act. Ofc it’s gonna be news

It's a.accusation.... but as a society we say your guilty first. We need to make stuff play out then judge.
Araiza acted guilty when the police were investigating. He first figured out they were listening in and then we went to a prepared statement that he didn't remember anything and hung up. What innocent person acts like that? No one. He is telling us all that he is guilty of something serious.
Well this didn’t age well
Obviously once he made the NFL, the girl hatched an idea. Clearly
Thanks for bringing up race Michal Irvin, I appreciate it!
Why one of the guys was black , he's not in jail, ? And Deshaun was just rewarded 250 millions with 24 accusers..
It's because of climate change!
Matt Araiza doesn't have a black privilege card, like Deshaun Watson does. If Matt was black, he would still be with the bills
Matt is mexican… Irvin is a clown
Of course you would hate it as if racism doesn’t exist.
