The NFL did not find that #Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill violated the Personal Conduct Policy. He may attend Kansas City's training camp and participate in all club activities.

But, it is. If the Chiefs believed him (that he was innocent) AND wish to resign him, they should make sure he's on board. There's zero reason to make the negotiations with the best receiver in football more difficult, IMO. [Reply]

That's great news. Hope everything goes better for him and he continues to grow.
Overall though - I would love to see the NFL compare this, Smith's, and Zeke's suspensions and what went into their decisions. They're definitely not apples to apples, but 0, 4, and 6, they seem to be all over the place but trending down? [Reply]

I agree. I mean, if you didn't follow the story but saw the breaking news when it all came out - it would have been a shock to see no suspension now. But day by day, it's been shown that the local TV seemed to control the narrative and that Espinal was literally out to get Hill... so who the hell knows. [Reply]

What about Zeke's latest of ZERO games / fine to this one? :-) [Reply]

Ergo, the actual story here, Mr. EyePod ...
There never was any "breaking news". Stories, yes ... but no "news". No facts. No credible, cited sources. No verification. No substance. Just Virtue Pimps selling you and me a load of hateful crap.
That's the story. It's a tale about how a few individuals with access to a press pass or a microphone can manufacture a "story" and call it "news".
And the saddest aspect of all is the reality that they did it (and continue to do it) for the express purpose of personal career advancement. A man's life and career were at stake and they were willing to destroy him in exchange for clicks and views.
That, my friend, is how far we've fallen. I pray this is the bottom.

Well here is where you and I will disagree and that is the Chiefs Brass DIDN'T KNOW at the point of the release of audio that he wasn't guilty. Thus they had to play it smart from a PR perspective IF he actually IS GUILTY because of hard evidence. It was a prudent move regardless of contract negotiations. [Reply]
