Diggs Gets Cleared
About a week before the Super Bowl Stefon Diggs was accused of physically assaulting his then-chef. I think we all sorta wrote it off as probable because Diggs has had a weird reputation as kind of a fuckboi and these incidents are unfortunately more common than we want them to be among athletes.
Well, turns out this was one of those cases that appears to genuinely be an extortion attempt. The accuser crumbled under pressure in the courtroom and Diggs’ defense attorneys brought receipts. So under the court of law, for what we know, Diggs may still be a silly fuckboi but he’s not a violent abuser.
It’s kind of wild to see what happened since he was cut. I don’t think anyone was bothered by him getting cut. But the guy who cut him has found himself embroiled in the funniest football tabloid drama in years. Every week we get a new bit of lore. They get caught. She quits. They find older pictures. He looks frazzled at the draft. We find out her first kid is named Mike and speculate on the coincidence. Our latest juice is that while she was visibly pregnant with baby Mike, she was on a private boat with big Mike, and they were both notably resistant to having pictures taken by the boat rental employees.
Diggs isn’t the stud he used to be but he can still contribute to any team who picks him up so I’m curious to see where he lands. Will he go back to New England, if they want him? Or if he wants them, after they didn’t stick by him? Would he go back to any of the teams he’s left, like Houston or Buffalo? Is he going to be strapped for suitors and end up on the Browns in week 3?
The neverending firesale in Miami could use a match. At least give us something to look at while we go 6-11.
Dude, lay off of it, Dave. She said the kid was named after her brother, and Diana has a long history of being truthful with us, so get off her back, man! Who do you think you are, Mike Vrabel?!
I just can’t believe how the NFL is continuing to try and sweep the football aspect of this under the rug. Like, yea, the public is here for the scandal, and on the rank of scumbags, having extramarital sex with a pregnant woman (or AS a pregnant woman) is fairly high on the godawful-waste-of-human-space-o-meter. As long as the kid doesn’t look like a confused caveman. If he does, well, in all honesty, that’s probably good news for her Shake Shack Loving Soon-to-be-Ex-Husband.
But I’m sure the NFL will look at them renting a boat the SAME MONTH that she broke news the Falcons had a first round offer on the table for Julio Jones, only for him to end up going for far less to the… *checks notes* the Titans. Huh. Nothing shady there, what’s everyone so… oh. Ohhhh. OHHHHH. Vrabel was the HC.
Well, ok, that was a one time thing. It’s not like they ever did it aga- what’s that? They did it again twice? Well obviously, it’s very clear they like doing it from all the clips where they bitch and whine about their spouses. Oh, you mean they manipulated the NFL trade markets in a way that should ABSOLUTELY be investigated a few more times with AJ Brown, but probably won’t, because Robert Kraft will offer handjobs to everyone involved? Yea, that tracks.
What if this was Bill Belichick’s doing to get revenge on Kraft, and he’s only acting like a bumbling old man to avoid being implicated as the camera man? Have we considered that? Because I gotta tell you, six years (possibly more?) of tampering with the trade market by having an affair with a pregnant woman is worse than filming the Jets sideline signals. That Bill Belichick… dude’s playing 4D chess! From filming bumbling idiots to… filming bumbling idiots. Huh. I guess some things never change.
