Chiefs press conference on Tyreek Hill
Starting a whole new thread about this because I think it's a pretty important to get the justification and story from the people who made the pick. Was posted in the original thread, but I know it's going to get lost in the still vibrant discussion.
Basically, Dorsey would normally let his scout team handle questions about the last day so he can do UDFA stuff, but he felt he needed to address the press and media about it before too many stories got carried away. So they spent basically a full 20 minutes discussing the morality of picking somebody like Hill. http://www.chiefs.com/media-center/v...c-90e1d8adc228 For people who don't really care to listen, Dorsey and Reid basically give a single answer: "We've done our homework, so please trust us." Props go to Terez Paylor for asking the tough and pointed questions about this. He's got some balls as a journalist that I've never seen out of the KC Star. |

Settlements happen all the time. DA only give a shit about percentage of people they successfully convict because hey gotta win votes. Oh and it saves money, which they are doing more and more now, for "small business" tax breaks.

Hopefully he doesn't choke under all the pressure

This guy might be (and probably is) a major piece of shit but I have a hard time believing he did everything she said and he just gets probation. Punching someone multiple times in the face and then choking them would leave significant injuries that would lead to slam dunk case for a DA. |

All the back and forth dick measuring between you and jd aside, why wouldn't you trust Dorsey and Co. if they say they have done their due diligence and they were willing to draft Hill? They said the same things about Peters and he worked out great.

Peters obviously has a "strong personality" that didn't mesh with the new coach. Guys transfer all the time because of that but Peters had no such option. But smoking pot or disagreeing with a coach(es) is miniscule compared to choking and punching a pregnant woman. Dorsey has no excuse. |

It doesn't matter if Hill never again physically assaults another human being. That's the only reasonable assertion that can possibly be made by Dorsey and Reid from doing "due diligence," and it's simply not ****ing good enough. Hill did the act. He admitted it in a court of law. And that can't be undone. No amount of due diligence is going to produce a time machine that will allow the Chiefs to prevent the assault from happening.

I don't like the pick, and I don't like guys like this. But the law is the law, and even rapists and murderers get to have a job if they've paid their debt to society in the eyes of the law.
Hopefully the kid learns and never makes that mistake again. But he's not asking to date my daughter, he's applying for a job. |
