I'm a little surprised that the reaction to these newest texts on the Board seems to be: "there must have been something more". As you say, the texts were not only clearly threatening her, they were very clearly threatening her kids (he PUT THE KIDS PICTURES IN THEM). How much more reprehensible can you be?

Let me put it this way for the Board. Suppose you got a text threatening you. What would be your reaction? Well, I would probably not be very happy and I might explore legal options.

Now: Suppose that the text is making a very serious THREAT TO YOUR KIDS and has the sender the financial means and dark history to be taken seriously? I won't say what I would or wouldn't do (and, I think it is hard to know until you have personally walked in those shoes), but suffice it to say my reaction would be 100x that of being personally threatened. I imagine the reaction for many would range from moving heaven and earth to see that person behind bars to more extreme (and regrettable for all) actions.

Surely the target (the second accuser) will press criminal charges, wouldn't any of you? In my mind these latest texts alone were enough for BB to drop him, especially if he knew criminal charges were coming.

Even if you're as innocent as baby Jesus and your accuser is a lying whore with an agenda, you don't threaten her with a friggen text message no matter how much righteous rage you're feeling. The only possible defense now is brain damage.

There's some expansive defining of the word "threat" going on, both here and elsewhere.

Welp that’s unfortunate.
He is a great player and we could have used him.

wtv, next man up

Jacoby Myers says hello

Harry comes back for the real games.
Edelman, Gordon, Dorsett, Meyers, Harry

maybe Meredith if he is healthy

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

Any damage to the brand by the text issue was already done.

If they were cutting him because of the texts he wouldn’t have practiced today. Something happened after practice.

Could be. They may have been working behind the scenes between what the league may do, If they can get out of the bonus money etc. buying some time to think it out. But you may be right because if he got wind of it and faked an injury we would be screwed

#Doitforme lol

Just noticed on that post, Brady commented with three heart emojis and Josh Gordon used the praying hands emoji. Not that it means anything.

 

[mosslost]

To those saying we are doomed, we did put up 33 points in the opener on the Steelers without him.

And this defense still looks to be Elite.

As long as Gordon keeps his head on straight, brown was a luxury but not a necessity

who in their right mind who has been watching football for a couple decades around here thinks we are doomed?

I feel liberated LOL. Chiefs will never beat us this year.

There was nothing in the texts that he could be charged with.

and Gronk and Ramsey too lol

The circus was in town for 13 days.

We're on to the Jets.

Was there 13 or 11 days ?

Right now i like our defense over theirs but they can change that and acquire defensive talent especially at corner.

 

[Todd Bradley]

Trent Williams welcome to New England!

 

[Ring 6]

Jacoby Myers says hello

Who is he?

 

[Hyped]

he;s as dumb as a stump

Dunno man. On one hand, we have someone who isn't as fluent with English as someone should be given that he lived all of his life in the U.S. and has poor societal awareness..

On the other hand, I have never seen anyone do what he did in Miami after only 3-4 practices with Brady and the playbook.

I have a lot of friends like that....terrible at being school smart....but geniuses in other things.

 

[Bradyking12]

If I was Brady I would put my foot down and demand AB to be resigned, can't tell me he's not pissed makes his job a bit harder now and he likes AB even invited him to move in that's huge. Wish somebody would step up and bring the him back top 3 wr damn near a walk to the SB or even win now let Gordon f*ck up and this move will look even worst.

 

[mosslost]

I found the texts to be menacing to her

Harry comes back for the real games.

IMO their is zero chance Meredith ever contributes. I don't even know if he's caught a single pass from Tom in practice yet. I just don't see him doing anything this year...it's to late. Meyers and Harry will get the receptions anyway....why take them off the field for Meredith ?

 

[IllegalContact]

To be honest, he came after we had established our WE corp.

The Thomas release was something I didn't like. And we could use him now, but he's hurt.

But I understand your point

Thomas is hurt anyway and hamstrings on an old guy will render him useless...Meyers and Dorsett are the big winners

what???

 

[fightingirish595]

Can we be real for a second? If those texts did not come from his phone, it would be incredibly easy for him to prove and he could outright have discredited this woman as total liar. It would have created the perception that this woman was out to get him and she would have no credibility who she reached out to in regards to this.

There's no way he didn't send those texts because if he didn't he would have been able to get the easiest win of his life

What you’re saying could absolutely be true. But it isn’t automatic. You’re assuming the accuser is actually smart, which she may well be. But people do dumb things out of desperation. It’s not impossible she’d be dumb enough to fake them.

Otherwise point taken. You’re probably right

Plus why waste practice reps on a guy you are cutting.
I think they met after practice AB did fine ABing and the pats decided he was incorrigible and it’s time to cut bait.
