Hi
Hey this is what journalism should be no one can get it right 100% of the time but, admitting you made a mistake is what I respect
Mistakes can be made, it makes you human. What matters most is that you admitted your mistake, were able to apologize, and learned from it. No trust was lost with me. If anything, you've gained more of my respect by being able to admit you pulled the trigger too soon.
You're a stand up guy take responsibility
Don't beat yourself up over this. Seems to me a lot of people jump the gun. So far you're the only one to report this. Admitting you were wrong is something a lot of people would not do. I admire & respect that. You got a fan for life here. Keep up the great work. Also you're in my prayers. I hope everything is ok with you.
Fake allegations should warrant prison sentences smh
The gang rape still happened, but Matt wasn't involved
@@PNW30568 no it didnt, if you read the article there was no rape. She even agreed that she consented during the party when the "gang rape" happened. As well as before hand
@@MalixCranel that's my bad, well it's a true shame that people will find to believe the accuser, it's a shame really
@@PNW30568 all good i thought the same thing too. Had to read into it more. Just another case of college girl not wanting to take responsibility. Just wish this country could help the guys in some way.
Yes
She needs to go to jail, and the news needs to report on it like they do with the allegations. I'm so sick of people that make these false allegations and not a damn thing happens to them.
Honestly she should get sued on top of it because she caused him to lose out on potentially millions
@@MrTookahit bro she fucked up his bag 💰, there’s no coming back from having that stigma even if it was wrong mfs will still look at you in that light, which amazes me because these dumb ass human beings love to judge a person and act like their shit don’t stink and I would roast the fuck outta them 🤣💯
Good luck with that. I worked for campus police 2010-2013 and we had several fake rape complaints. Once we proved they lied (different reasons but usually guilt on cheating on a bf) the big wigs of student life AND prosecution didn’t want them charged because it could set a bad precedent…
I shit you not.
@@steveosborn7224 come again? They said what now? Oh naw you better then me cuz I would’ve exposed all their asses I don’t play that nonsense
@@MrTookahit Not potentially. The momentum he had going into last year was unlike anything I've ever seen for a punter. He lost out on salary (little under a million), sponsorships and future sponsorships because even though he didn't do anything most companies will not want to tie their name to him. The actual number is likely 9 figures in addition to the misery of being repeatedly called a child rapist in the national media.
People are still missing the biggest part of this story. Not only did the DA say that Araiza wasn’t there during the alleged SA. They said that after viewing video and listening to witness statements they didn’t see a path forward to charge ANYONE with RAPE. This is truly disgusting!
thank god someone recorded it haha
She got a train run on her and got shamed for it later on. So magically it became SA. She’d probably fit in well with the dumb bimbos on the “Whatever” podcast who simultaneously hate men and have slept with 100 men by age 21.
@@UDel The crazy thing is there could easily be a bunch of innocent young men in prison for this without those videos... Insane.
@@MomoAfterDark you can almost guarantee there are plenty of young men locked up right now for not having video
Don’t see a path forward for charges is legalies for they are innocent.
Don’t apologize to us, apologize to him.
Truth. I like mike, but he definitely pushed the propaganda. There’s a normal dude with an uncanny talent of punting a football that has been deprived of financial gain and a professional sports dream because journalists didn’t do their due diligence. Anyone who pushed misinformation, whether knowingly or not, owes Punt God an apology
@@hornetguy9063 men are guilty until proven innocent when it comes to these allegations.
Matt araiza should file a lawsuit against the bills n the girl that falsely accused him
That’s why waiting for all the facts to come out before making an opinion is so important
man i got called a rape defender when i said innocent until proven guilty … well i guess i was right
@@rmelo2382 wow you deserve a cookie. so shameful that this mans wrongful accusation effected you!
@@TJfromEarth talk about missing a point completely go touch grass
lol your comment literally only mentions how YOU got called a bad word and then did a victory lap about being right. I dont think your "point" is as complex as you think it is, genius haha
I hope he sues those who rushed to judgment on his name.
I'm disgusted. Absolutely disgusted. An innocent man was framed for an action he DID NOT COMMIT and practically lost his dream. I despise people who do things like this to innocent men who didn't DO ANYTHING. Matt Araiza deserves an apology and a second chance.
So does Deshaun Watson. Any contrary belief is VERY sus. Mike has no time for DW. That makes Mike pretty damn sus. Nevermind that he'd be happy if we all lost our life savings on the gambling site he simps for. We all make decisions, Mike. Some of us better than others.
Its a bottom line business and he's a punter. Do you need one? yes. Can you find one that doesn't have a PR shitstorm permanently in tow? yes, easily. Its terrible for him but there really isn't anything you can do against a false accuser. At least not against an 17 year old female saying the magic R word.
I’m still trynna figure out how you can get accused for rape……When you weren’t even in the building because from the evidence that’s been provided this dumbass bitch called rape on a dude who wasn’t even in her location at the time of accusing….Make that shit make sense 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@kelbale tf you on about
She was in and out of consciousness, I don't think she can be made the villain here. That being said the justice system failed this man
As my mom put it after looking at everything from the case(she's a bills fan) she stated "this is why no one believes victims anymore, and why the actual victims are so afraid to seek the help they need."
True but the guy is the victim in this case
That's an immoral opinion to hold, maybe if the rest of the world wasn't thinking like that Matt Araiza who WAS the victim wouldn't have been further victimized.
The correct takeaway has to be, even if someone appears to be guilty or appears to be making up accusations they COULD be the victim we can't jump to conclusions or we hurt people that are already victims.
I don't know why "actual victims" would be afraid to seek help because of this case unless its going to come out that they too were making shit up.
Mike, take this one thing with you moving forward: "Being correct is more important than being first."
That's the problem with today's news/media, they all want to get out there, get the scoop and drop it first. And they do it at the cost of their own integrity and at the cost of potentially innocent people. Good on you for putting this video out, hopefully it gives you perspective on the future. Love the channel. I hope you're well.
the johnny deep/amber heard and jonathan majors cases are perfect examples of that
Bro he doesn’t care lol
#DefundTheMedia
These women want a payday, and they make it worse for other women who have actually been sexually assaulted. She needs to be thrown in jail!!
and publicly shamed
The Browns are no longer interested
Alot of cases is cuz the dude doesn’t want to date them when they go to the nfl so they try and ruin their career.
We weren't lied to about Matt Araiza. The information about him not even being present at the time has been out since day 1 and absolutely EVERYONE didn't even give him the benefit of the doubt. Everyone that blamed him and accused him of this without actually even looking into facts that were available from day 1 should be ashamed
👍👍✊
Yea cuz "muh rape culture" is normalized as a talking point even though it's not a thing
Well with Deshaun Watson incident everyone was like yup another football player doing bad things. Because with Deshaun Watson a lot of us wanted to believe he was innocent and that turned out to be untrue.
I didn’t judge him right away because I saw what happened to Gareon Conley. Gareon Conley fell to the Raiders due to false allegations. If he never would’ve been falsely accused then the Raiders might have drafted someone better than him.
2022 is when woke peaked. 2023 is the year woke gets buried. Enough with all this noise and nonsense. WAKE UP people. Hold yourself accountable, and if you're in America, don't ever forget the foundation of this Country and what those documents represented.
I know what it's like be accused falsely. During my ugly divorce(the kind you read about that you think would never happen to you) from my ex-wife. My mother ex mother in law filed a report against me accusing me of being inappropriate with my young sister in law. She lied I wasn't even there when all this was supposed to happen. She told the police she didn't want to push the investigation. She "Didn't want her daughter to be traumatized by being interviewed." I had to call the DA and ask him to investigate me and charge me or clear me. He went to the police detective in charge of my case and said he didn't want to investigate it. So the DA said investigate we do not leave this hanging on a man trying to have a relationship with his kids. I was cleared. But this made me change my life and I suffer PTSD from is it dragged out almost 9 months!!!
Everyone deserves a mulligan in a situation such as this. It’s a great reminder of what my dad always said, “Never jump to conclusions without all the facts.”
Mike, you were100% partly responsible for the bs "court of public opinion" as far as the masses judging him guilty before the facts were out. Don't forget that, ever. Due process exists to protect every single one of us from this exact type of crap.
How can you be 100% anything and "partly" in the same statement. The allegations against Ariza were heinous and I think it was treated as such. It's shame it boiled down to this, but you can't blame Mike for REPORTING what's being said and his own take on the situation. If he was guilty, throw the book at him. If not, throw the book at her! Simple as that! But don't take a half ass jab at a man doing his job, REPORTING.
Edit: The shame and defamation comes with the due process! That's what makes false allegations so heinous to begin with. Ariza, in the end was an innocent man, let's just pray for his get back and hope he lands a sweet contract and a lil justice on the side
Edit 2: Yall really don't read...
@@ravencroftsb1294 because 60% of the time, it works every time
Mike does often comes to quick conclusions
@@ravencroftsb1294 He didn't just report it. He admitted himself that he jumped to conclusions and called him a scumbag. Thats not reporting it. Thats expressing is opinion on it, and wrongly so. Not that we didn't either, I know I got it wrong.
@RavenCroft SB129 he was saying without a doubt he was part of the court of opinion yoy gotta think he has hundreds of thousands of followers and multiple videos. Unless u know don't say shit. What if it was you?
What scares Me most is that it doesn't seem she is going to see any consequences. Like any girl can attempt a fake allegations. Whether for money, revenge, spite. And if they fail, then no big deal. That's insane.
Welcome to reality.
It's more common than you would think.
This, right there, is how M2 got hijacked by a vocal minority of vindictive and petty narcissists. Cause they know even if it's a fake story or embellished, the person will be put through the ringer, losing money, reputation and inflict a good amount of stress. Even worse, the alleged "crime" could be really minor, such as any form of constructive criticism, or someone got slighted out of a job offer or promotion when said person really did not have the credentials. Disproportionate retribution is a hallmark of a narcissist, and why false allegations are so dangerous these days.
Rachel Richardson lied about the Nword
No problem
Duke LaCrosse lady lied and destroyed 3 men’s lives
No problem
Juicy Smollett Lied about trump supporters. No problem
Congressman John Lewis lied about being called the Nword. No problem
Tawana Brawley lied. No problem
Law suit for defamation of character. However, the girl has probably no money...
Mike is the definition of the "Woke mob" so him saying he's not part of it is hilarious
Hey man im praying for you and i know your scans are gonna come back great! Love you content and your passion for it brother. God Bless! 🙏
Lawsuit immediately and get that man back in the league
Unfortunately, most judges won’t hear a lawsuit involving false accusations because “it puts down real victims voices”
@@shotgun7570 unfortunately that's true but we should have already learned our lesson from the Johnny Depp Amber Heard case
The Browns are no longer interested
@@tedjonston777 bro stfuuu u in each comment saying the same shttt
@@Wyomingchief one day we will live in a world where none of this evil exists anymore
as someone who has dealt with these same accusations, it changes how everyone looks at you, and i mean everyone.and the worst part was for me nobody even asked me what happened, just had some really close people immediately leave
Yeah I went thru it almost a year ago changed my life and can’t even look at life the same to this day
RIP ^^^ to both of you😢
And even when you’re cleared, the accusations alone have a permanent smear on your reputation. And she’ll get off, move on with her life with no repercussions. The system is flawed and this entire scenario is ass backwards and pathetic
For real man, fake accusations need stricter punishment. The social humiliation people have to face for this shit even after you are cleared. And the girl goes Scott free as it nothing happened
Dude if so called friends left you over unfounded accusations they weren't your friend in the first place.
good luck on ur scan buddy much love and will be praying for u man!!!
To recant everything you said and clear up the situation shows that you truly are passionate about what you do and it is really appreciated when you are willing to admit that you were wrong especially when media rarely does that. Hats off to you, Mike.
Matt deserves an apology from media who tried to ruin his life. Truth always prevail
False aligations should be punishable with jail time for like a year or more.
@Caleb Ruehss fair enough
Anything less than a decade in jail is too little for ruining someone entire life
Mike should get his channel banned. How many people believed his terrible take at the time when all the facts were already there? People get banned from this platform for FAR LESS, Mike helped ruin a mans life because believe wamen
@Caleb Ruehss Bingo, that's what justice looks like.
@@nflnerfd5006 this is San Diego, homeless people are attacking people in middle of daylight, you think these idiots are gonna care about some a young girl who falsified a rape accusation? They probably stay silent from the shame
Law states fake allegations of rape comes with jail sentences. His attorney should counter sue and seek jail time
Refreshing to see you come out and acknowledge this. This poor kid had everything taken from him. False accusations should deserve jail time. I'd also like to see other platforms come out and apologize (first take, undisputed, ect). Hope this kid gets another chance immediately. Bears....go get this kid.
She should serve the jail sentence that the ‘rapist’ would have received. False accusations need harsher penalties.
no way they got away with accusing this man about this shit bruh, crazy.
They all did. Including Mike and his independent journalist buddies.
@@rudesword2852 big facts nobody wants to talk about that though
Keep posting great content man, love what you do
I will give you this, in all the media that I`ve seen about this you are the only one I`ve seen apologize. In todays America we live in a guilty until proven innocent atmosphere it`s most unfortunate for all men out there. Imagine if this happened to you and people were so quick to jump to a certain conclusion. Sad times.
It's so sad because it doesn't matter if you're innocent or not. your life never gets back on track. people always see you as what you were claimed to be. We live in a sick and twisted time man
Man I feel so bad for him I hope he can get signed soon 😢
As a Bills fan I’d love to see him back on the team

@@charlieessig9923Bills would be the last place I’d want to be. Y’all don’t stand by me when I was innocent the whole time? Nah no thanks.
he is a jet
Admitting to a mistake is important. It's called journalistic integrity. So good on you Mike.
I was also convinced based on the initial reports. And as a friend of someone who was wrongfully accused of assault I can totally sympathize with his situation. It can really destroy someone even if the accusations are proven to be false.
PRAYING FOR YOUR SCAN MIKE❤️🫶🏼 I HOPE ALL GOES WELL YOU GOT IT MAN!
I've had the exact same allegations when I was in the Navy and I can say from personal experience that even when the allegations are proven to be false, people still give you the side eye and refuse to be around you or are uncomfortable. Unfortunately, this accusation is still going to follow him for the rest of his life.
Yeah once it gets out there it doesn't matter what the truth is you'll always be judged. I had a very similar incidents happened to me when I was 21. I had a seventeen-year-old girl make accusations against me. Thankfully the chief of police took the initial report and thoroughly investigated it immediately. And because of that he was able to get the facts really quick and confront the girl with the actual truth and she recanted. She did it all because she didn't want to get in trouble with her parents for drinking and partying.
I normally don't bring this up, but I once was accused in High school. Once that rumor comes out, there's no recovery. Both of you have my empathy.
@@theminuteman3460
I hope Araiza sues the 💩 out of everyone involved including the Bills.
Bruh, you were far from the only one to get this one wrong. I admire your willingness to take accountability for it
Prayers up Mike! Been here since before the bad stuff. God is great buddy
Sadly we live in a time where gossip and accusations lead to reputation destruction. This process is faster and louder than the justice system’s process of finding the truth.
Good luck with your scan mike .. keep us all updated.. you are extremely loved and cared for in this community you started
Sadly
You guys have been so incredible during this process. I apologize for being vague, I just don't want to make a spectacle of the situation. I believe everything will be okay :)
@@Mikerophone I am sure you are in many folks prayers!
You've made a heartfelt apology, and it is absolutely acceptable and understandable. Even as a seasoned reporter, and even after the initial allegations and the subsequent revelations, this is *still* an exceptionally sensitive and emotionally fraught subject. You reacted emotionally because you're a decent human being, and you expected the same decency from others. It wasn't to be in this case.
Being methodical and patient about extremely emotional stories is very difficult for anyone to do, and sometimes it isn't popular with those who are more quick to judge - but it's often what we need to consider when dealing with a story about which we have limited acquaintance. And that doesn't just apply to you - it applies to all of us, all the time.
Before and after all of this, this is a fun and informative channel and I'll continue to watch and recommend it. And you should be commended for your humility and your honesty.
The way you handed yourself in this video and acknowledging everything you did wrong and pointing out all the issues and bringing up all of the evidence as new evidence come forward. You're human and you're working to be better. That's all that matters. You're amazing at this and I love your content. Keep it up and will keep watching.
I hope this man has the opportunity to continue his career.
We can't continue having this shit going on, the most for accusations that change peoples lives is six months, not even if someone is convicted/even if they are cleared their life is still ruined. Many may see this as too much but AT LEAST 2-3 years of jail and a massive fine. It seems harsh but, for most people even being falsely accused will ruin their life, Also if you accuse someone your name should be out there, we shouldn't play this game where one side can throw shade one way and be protected.
I agree. She falsely accuses him and his name is on front page news. Once she's called out for her false accusations, her name is hidden and she's protected. She now has committed a crime and her name should be put on headlines just like his name was
It happens man, we have all been guilty of judgement before knowing everything. You learned from it and held yourself accountable. Much respect!!!!
You set the facts straight and owned up to it. We can't all be perfect or demand perfection, especially in the case of needing to provide engaging content and the timeline of these events. I'm glad you brought up the Deshaun Watson aspect of this story when it comes to the timeline, because nobody wanted to get this one wrong after what happened with Watson.
But he did
hate how people’s mindsets are guilty till proven innocent it’s dumb asf bro deserves a 2nd chance
Classic guilty until proven innocent. Unfortunate that stuff like this happens to people and more unfortunate than that, people that are okay with trying to falsely ruin your life are definitely real.
Even after proven innocent people will still say he's guilty though
Best of luck on your scan. Praying for you brotha
Good luck with your scan Mike! Love you bro!
As I have stated before:
Accusations of this type require positive, authoritative proof before the victim should be believed. Yes, that sounds awful, but the number of times a person has regret about an intimate encounter and claims rape or assault makes skepticism a necessity.
I assert that most claims of "rape" or "assault" are devoid of either, and are mere reactions to the loss of "social virtue" by the alleged "victim".
This is a cash grab, pure and simple.
We now live in a society where one special set of people actually believe that they should live their lives free of material consequences for their poor decisions or bad actions.
The "accuser" should be charged at a minimum with making a false report. Since we live in a gynocentric society, that won't happen.
The accuser should be faced with the same amount of time the accused was looking at 💯
After seeing this video I hope Matt Araiza gets signed to an NFL team and blossoms there, and the girl who basically lied to public officials, which is a punishable offense, should be punished with jail time.
My expectation for public voices is that they DO NOT take sides. Even with DeShawn, we don’t know what happened. The limit of what you should say is IF these things happened this is horrible behavior. And you should ALWAYS say you hope the truth comes out.
Honestly public voices that dogpile with no evidence really pisses me off so I’m glad you’re coming clean.
Love that you are honest enough to hold yourself accountable when you screw it. Keep on the great job
I hated to hear what happened when the news broke. I’m a big Aztecs fan, and I wanted the chargers to draft him. When he was drafted, I was proud of him, and I hoped he did great at the NFL level after a great season with San Diego State. If this is true and he is innocent, I hope he gets signed to a team(preferably the chargers) and has a great career
⚡️⚡️⚡️
"If this is true and he is innocent" sorry pal but a person is INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. And you're speaking about a cade where there has not been a single shred of evidence to show matt did anything. You sir are EXACTLY what is wrong with the country today. Dickheads like you jumping to conclusions without a single shred of evidence because the TV told you to. Let me take a WILD guess and assume, you voted biden, right?
He would be crippled by Sofi stadiums giant video display. I hope he goes to an open air stadium.
Lol, I'm hoping Buffalo gets, like, first rights to pick him back up
@@blkdragonfly89first right to bail on him and ruin his life because of public scrutiny! No way in fuck would he go to the Buffalos 😂
Looking fit and healthy Mike, been a mad ride watching this channel explode. Good luck with the upcoming scans. Big year ahead of NFL ahead.
Mike, love ya man, keep being awesome. 🤘
Mike, you are totally one quality human being! You were overtly honest and forthright in your apology with genuine acknowledgement of what you did was wrong while sincerely assuming full responsibility for the hurt, suffering and harm to all parties caused by your rash and premature decision-making. Additionally by doing such both openly and truthfully before an audience of at least 675,000 in the public forum of TH-cam alone, requires courage and strong moral character to wit you be highly commended. Our nation's leaders would be well served by watching this episode of your channel in the hope it would spark a glimmer of desire on their behalf for a return to a genuine, fully transparent and truly honest albeit good or bad form leadership that is in the best interest of us all. Again Mike, you are to be highly commended for making the absolutely finest and bonafide sincerest public apology I have ever viewed. It is my belief you advance the qualities inherent to an outstanding human being and fully integrate that composite so as to set the gold standard for which non-corporate, independent TH-cam sport channels aspire. 💯% OUTSTANDING ..... KEEP YOUR POSITIVE MOMENTUM GOING‼️
Was wondering what was gonna come of this case. Cause usually cases like that never just disappear like we think they do. She saw him get drafted and saw a payout. Probably motivated by her parents.
Love how you deliver the news quickly, respectfully, and in such a timely manner. You're one of the very reliable sources for sports news and uodates, that I have.
It could be money or her parents could be really strict, and she may not want the truth to come out. No excuse, though. Stuff like this ruins lives and makes it harder for the real rape victims. I was waiting for all the info. I still believe in "Innocent until proven guilty", no matter how you look.
He literally implied he was a r4pist and the information that swayed him to that thought was the university was "being sketchy/slow" in its investigation. How does that sway him when he knew the police were ALREADY conducting their own investigation on the incident.....
@@bjheading1519 I am just glad that he didn't end up like oakman, hopefully he can get another shot
If you falsely accuse someone of a serious allegation like this, you should be charged with what that person was looking at
This is why I love you and follow you.
That said, when false allegations derail a career the person who lied needs to be financially liable for lost income and needs to serve the time that they tried to make another serve.
He deserves to be back on the bills like this is so messed up and I hope the bills or a good team brings him back like that girl deserves to go to jail for good. I was upset when this came out cuz the punt God has a huge leg and just this is so wrong that some women can do this.
Bills not loyal to him though.....
He needs to sue the Bills and the NFL for false termination without evidence.
@@boostednova7120 the Bills front office didn't want to cut him. They knew about the allegations and still cut Haack. In the midst of all this, they brought Araiza to their last preseason game.
When the press and fans started nonstop harassing every player and coach about Araiza's presence, it became impossible to keep him on the team. If you watch Beane and McDermott, they never once even implied any wrongdoing on Araiza's part. They knew the entire time that this was bullshit.
I don't blame the Bills, but I blame their self righteous dickhead fans. Bills Mafia can be pretty great in a lot of aspects, but their self righteousness is so obnoxious.
Its ashame really, i feel bad for matt Araiza, it's all so ashame that people harder to believe the accuser
We got your back brother. You took accountability 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾. Keep on putting out great content.
We all owe Matt Arisa a huge apology

Awesome to see someone apologize for a mistake these days. The mainstream media should take a lesson from this. This shows true humility and it’s great.
Innocence until proven guilty is very important. It almost doesn’t exist today but it’s vital
I think it’s fine to report allegations like this but leave your opinion out of it completely. That’s how to handle it going forward. Good job doing this
This is why I love your channel Mike. You can admit when you're wrong and don't serve up excuses. Keep it up and stay humble, brother.
Praying for great scan results Mike.
Good way of owning up Mike. We all make mistakes and it only takes real ones to apologize. Goodluck with your Scan!
Props to you owning up to your past words and making the disclaimer. Its insane how quick we can all be to jump to judgement, instead of remaining more agnostic.
Good luck on ur scan bud and no one is perfect bud you are doing a hell of a job!

He should sue every media outlet for defamation. The media needs to learn that they should only report the facts, not spin a narrative for clicks.
This is why I Love Mike. He made an update and clearly and openly stated his mistake, not try to cover it up. What an absolutely amazing human. Willing to take the heat of his mistake like a real upstanding guy! Much love Matt, can’t speak for everyone but I forgive you ❤

Bills fan here,I seriously don’t know what to think,especially the fact that we were told he did something and now we are told otherwise
Y'all will probably be able to bring him back.
She lied bruh. Big shock.
You were told he was accused of doing something it was your ass that blindly went along with the narrative.
He was never even charged with a crime and prosecutors from the police department investigated and say that NO CRIME WHATSOEVER OCCURRED yet every news outlet and social media platform joined the hate mob against him.

Hey Mike thanks for the stand up job on getting this piece right. I know that you genuinely feel bad about your first take. It happens. You set yourself apart by making things right and taking responsibility for your actions. I still trust you Bro. Keep doing what you do. Hopefully Matt is able to get back to the NFL and his reputation can be restored to what it was before this big mess. Life is sticky!
I had the same reaction you did when this first came out, so I can understand where you were coming from. I appreciate you covering this update, apologizing and trying to make it right. If anything, I am more inclined to trust you since you held yourself accountable and asked forgiveness.
So you just a believed the woman ? Hope you learned a lesson
Wow she possibly ruined his career for no reason. She needs to be held accountable for her actions.
and people call it "sexist" to tell men to to avoid fast girls especially men who are athletes going to the pros....this is why!!!
She will get in no trouble
way to own up though, you can only do with what you’re given and what you can find. big of you to own up to everything
You are the only person who made an updated video once the evidence came out. Way to be accountable, much respect!!!!
Thank you for being man enough to admit a mistake. Mistakes happen, i for one harbor no ill feelings, and i am very impressed that you stepped up with a formal apology. Keep the show moving forward, i for one enjoy it more so than just about anything espn or its subsidiaries produce. Except Shaq, he is awesome. Maybe invite the man on your show, and do an interview with him, and offer an apology face to face. great video cant wait for more!
crazy how she ruined his life she needs too be held accountable! lock her up make her an example
Stay Strong and positive Fam💪🏾🙏🏾
Women that do this are disgusting! Something similar happened to me in 2019 where I lost my teaching career. I was accused of sleeping with a minor, then changed to rape due to her being 17 at the time, It wasn’t even the girl that was saying these things. It was her husband who was just trying to get out of a 80 lbs drug charge and guess what, It worked for him! He never got charged and I lost my career. I feel for Matt Araiza and I hope he can be reinstated into the NFL. He’s too young. The girl contacted me and did apologize and told me it was him making her do it. My life will never be the same and I’m sure Matt’s life will never be the same.
@Mikerophone, dude.. I just seriously gained even more respect for you as a sports journalist, reporter, youtuber, and as a man. Publicly admitting you made a mistake and apologizing for it is a sign of absolute integrity.
Nobody gets everything right 100 percent of the time, especially given the sources from much larger multi-billion dollar media organizations, a major university, etc failed to keep their own biases in check and not cast a judgement before Mr. Araiza was proven guilty in a court of law.
In the modern day and age, so many men and women forget how to be honest and humble in the face of popularity, and all too quickly forget where they've come from. Thanks for not being like the crowd and keeping it 100.
We all make mistakes... there's Wicked people who come up with disgusting things to trash a person... it happened to me! Now I'm strict about my inner circle!!! 😢 the Wicked and Deceitful will Perish... Amen 🙏
We need him back over here in Buffalo … big facts 💯💯
Man, mad respect, I think you’re the first sports person I follow who has actually apologized
I’m glad you made this update. Takes a big man. Not many including me could
Takes a big man to make this video to get views off of Araizas unfortunate drama? Yea real tough. I’m sure he’ll lose sleep tonight…
I'm glad someone knows what accountability means ty FM
Best of luck with your scan Mike! Love your videos and gods speed
Props on ownership and accountability for your words and actions. Bro just proved he has more class and honor then 90% of any other sports caster. Professional or TH-cam. Great coverage on the update. Hold your head high you did right by both yourself and Matt Araiza
You don’t owe us an apology
Your owe Matt an apology
Thank you for this. Now if all the big time NFL pundits would come out with their apologies, including the NFL Roger the Dodger, and my team since 1960 the Buffalo Bills. If I remember correctly the same allegations were make against a certain LaCrosse team one upon a time. That was a fairytale too.
You don't have to explain yourself fam, we all get stuff wrong from time to time but least you man enough to admit it
At the time of your first post. You had only one side of the story. Which the information you had I understand your point. We all make mistakes, but I give you props for coming out and saying that you did make a mistake. I love watching all your videos. Keep doing you.
got railroaded like that pitcher from the Dodgers. The girl was caught texting a former player about taking his money too, never seen any repercussions. Meanwhile he’s in Japan and lost his entire mlb career.
when i first heard of this new info earlier today, i thought of your vids Mike and wondered if you were going to faollow up on it. im glad to see you manned up and owned your mistake, much respect for that.
