George,
don't disagree with your post at all, but again, for me the fact that he didn't deny the texts as valid was a End of story. He is vile and disgusting and again, if he wrote that, he at best is a vile disgusting person, at worst is a rapist. There is just no getting around it, and honestly I feel bad for the Patriots as they have now inherited this sideshow. Somewhere along the line, AB went from a on the surface world class individual to an absolute nutcase. His belief in his own power is mystifying and the Steelers are partially responsible for fostering this idiocy. Again, on the texts alone, to me, he is unemployable and a stain on the sport regardless of which team he is on. If he goes, then I think collectively all teams should say "good riddance"
And I will state that if the texts are proven untrue or altered in any way, then my opinion 100% changes to innocent until proven guilty (which it really is now in the case of the rape charge). But on all accounts, his slate is open again for me if the texts are false. Then I will just continue to think he is an ***!

It really is a complete and utter mess isn't it?
If I'm him and I'm guilty, I write that check and make it go away.
As I look at this, what I don't get is why did she hang around for over two years and endure three separate incidents. If she was strictly his trainer and he exposed himself and kissed her without consent, at that point as a woman would you not just cut ties and walk?
Then the second, disgusting incident, yet again, she stayed around.
Then the alleged third incident.
Why tolerate all of that?
And sorry, the Patriots/Kraft are full of BS with the "We had no idea" load of crap...…….so the agent lied then, that's what he's saying, that puts the agent in a bad light and shifts the blame to him; when you point the finger of blame, remember there are three fingers pointing back at you.
He'll play today and after the league talks to her, he'll go on the exempt list mid week/later this week, for how long is anyone's guess.
He can't play or practice, but still gets paid.
The players union can cry all they want, the ginger haired nitwit in charge calls the shots, this would be a first to go on the exempt list over a civil case and it opens a giant can of worms, but Roger has 31 other owners putting pressure on him to do this (two in particular who basically tell him what to do), so he'll drop the hammer for sure...……………...
