Well...it's Gareon Conley. So... yeah.
Ok so if Conley is there in the 7th round, do you draft him?
I say go for it, I thought we should have with Collins a couple of years ago as well. It's not like many 7th round picks make it anyways, and in my mind that would be one hell of a good gamble to make.

Man, I don't know. I tend to say no in these situations since the risk is rarely worth the reward.

And I didn't really fault any team that passed on Collins back then either. The fact that he has since been exonerated doesn't change what I feel should have been done at the time.
Maybe I'm naive, maybe I'm just stupid. But I don't want a guy like that on a team of which I'm a fan.
If that makes me a "loser who only wants choir boys", I'll accept that label, inaccurate though I think it is.

Not that I'm implying anything about this particular situation, but I bet that number is significantly higher when you reduce the sample to circumstances involving guys who are or are about to be professional athletes.thunderspirit wrote:Statistically speaking, false accusations of sexual assault happen about 8% of the time.
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

but also probably lower if you reduce the number to just college athletes. *cough*baylor i'm looking in your direction*cough*Mikefive wrote:Not that I'm implying anything about this particular situation, but I bet that number is significantly higher when you reduce the sample to circumstances involving guys who are or are about to be professional athletes.thunderspirit wrote:Statistically speaking, false accusations of sexual assault happen about 8% of the time.

It's possible it could be lower if all the women who don't report sexual assault actually reported it as well...Mikefive wrote:Not that I'm implying anything about this particular situation, but I bet that number is significantly higher when you reduce the sample to circumstances involving guys who are or are about to be professional athletes.thunderspirit wrote:Statistically speaking, false accusations of sexual assault happen about 8% of the time.

#Raiders CB Gareon Conley’s lawyer tells me Conley & his accuser had a “consensual” sexual event that night. “Her version is not accurate”
