I don’t know man that was a pretty big call in a tight game. The game finished a one score game, so calling a highly questionable turnover in the end zone “noise” is a bit disingenuous. Mahomes health and the shitty D are also significant issues, but that call was big.

This has nothing to do with whether or not its a penalty, but rather that the ref’s threw a flag and then picked it up, possibly with not allowed aid from an eye in the sky. It is 100% clear that Mahomes (and most QBs) pays attention to this kind of stuff (the first deep TD to Hill was when he knew he had a free play,…

HOLY SHIT. I love the internet sometimes.

Rob Gronkowski says he couldn’t sleep for weeks after a fairly routine hit in the Super Bowl

Unpopular opinion: The league chose not to punish someone for a SPECULATED incident because there wasn’t enough evidence?

I fully expected comments like that, I am glad that at least I was able to frame in it a way that we’re not off the rails immediately. Hopefully others can follow your lead and I’ll do my best as well.

As a Chiefs fan, I’ve been following a lot of details that aren’t being covered by the national media. I’ve been following them with some skepticism, because it’s easy and probably fair to assume there is somewhere between a little and a lot of pro-Chiefs bias coming from those sources. However, there are important…

I’m not a big Barstool guy and always prefer to read Deadspin, but...

This! she was baiting him the whole time.  She knows damn well she’s batshit insane. 

This is exactly the problem, you now label him and give him no benefit of the doubt and its now not even a certainty he was guilty. This is why this is a news story and new information. You wouldn’t look at him the same way if she hadn’t lied to get him in trouble. You are a part of the problem.

Diana,

You bet the rest of the audio is news.

The tape contains quite a bit, but don’t let that shape the narrative you are looking to push. KCTV5 and Brooke Pryor and the KC Star all ran with 2 mins of a recording and explained “the rest really isn’t relevant”. There were 9 more minutes with a significant amount of context. Add this to the (based on reports out…

Yeah, but you illustrate perfectly how shitty this situation is.

I know it’s an unpopular take, but I agree with you, especially on the plea deal part. I said this is another comment, but if this didn’t involve possible domestic violence then it’s entirely possible that Deadspin takes that exact angle, and we get a longread on “young black athlete is viewed as a criminal for taking…

The biggest news here is KCTV5 doctored the audio and released a portion of it that made Hill look the worst. This cost him money and cost the taxpayers money as they reopened the investigation for another month because of it.

It is also apparent that it is his fiance who is recording him secretly, trying to goad him…

“If Hill was in any way coerced to plead guilty to a crime he asserts he did not commit, he has never said so publicly.”

“fuller version” KCTV released a version that was cut to support the prevailing narrative. You can have your opinion about whether to your ears the full tape was newsworthy or not, but that should be up to you, and me and the general public to decide on their own. There was clearly enough on the “fuller” version to…
