We don’t know what happened. Not taking his side and just playing the role of defense lawyer, but all the woman needed to say to really nail McCoy is that the intruder demanded certain items.
I've seen way too much baseless (and dangerous) speculation in this thread already. There's going to be quite a few people going on my ignore list.
I don't believe in ignore lists. It is important to hear what others are saying, even the fringe elements. Wrapping ourselves in our own personal echo chambers leads to dangerous outcomes.
It's important in certain settings. I don't need to surround myself with nonsense in a place where I come for competitive advantage.
I prefaced my initial comment with ... "... anyone with any common sense".
The initial tweets I saw I was more like "well considering what I've heard in the past this isn't shocking" but then the reports of he was in MIA could be confirmed at 7AM and I was like ok maybe this isn't as bad. But then I heard the above and was more ok this just sounds all too familiar to what happened to a friend of mine in a dispute. Lets me be perfectly clear though. Even if he's cleared of this the dude is still a scumbag.
Frequent hits to the head do seem to have something to do with irrational and violent behavior. It's not proof of anything, but I'm not dismissing any potential activity from McCoy just because it's not something a rational person would do.
Should've already been in prison for assaulting two off duty cops with his "boys" last year. Hollis Thomas a former Eagles DT was on our Sports Radio station WIP which he works for saying he had gotten text from a friend who was at the club. Gave him some damming info on the fight and even was interviewed by cops. The dispute as everyone knows was over a bottle that was ordered. Shady thought it was his but the bottle was the same as the one the two off duty cops got. An argument started and the one cop was ready to say "I'm a cop" in an effort to calm the situation down and say hey you don't want this to be a bigger issue it is but before he could say it I believe Shady sucker punched him. Then like a gang of rabid animals Shady and his crew mauled the two defenseless officers like a street fight. However the DA didn't do his job. No one really knows why or how he got off despite all the evidence blatantly there as well.
How is it? He was trying to evict her from the house. Usually when that happens especially someone if you are in a relationship with them you sometimes lend them items. You have a right to get those items back if you want if said person is being evicted. The fact he was already trying to evict her doesn't help the fact the house seemed to be targeted specifically here or specific items asked for. Like I said last night given a court case was suppose to be today I believe that sounds like some mafia level scare tactic stuff they use to use on witenesses.
Technically no because that's something a robber would be asking for to begin with. Specific items would be like you have a safe they already knew about ad asked for a certain item/s in the safe not many people knew were in there already. A person robbing you asked for everything you have on thats worth something especially jewelry.
Also THEY SHOULD BE TAKING PHOTOS ANYWAY!!! And when I SAY THEY I mean the Victim and her friend. That's got to be documented even if they take photos at the hospital. When I hurt myself at work 2 months ago on instinct while at first icing it was to take photo's for proof of an actual injury before it being cleaned up or anything. It was to keep a documentation for me as well as to give anyone who may need photos later. Same here. You need to document everything. Taking pictures is what you do. Trying to say anything differently we are going down the path of victim blaming and why many of these women who do get assaulted by some scumbag never come out. No different then if they were sexually assaulted. You see all the scumbags blaming the victims which forces them not to say anything. Are there women who take advantage of these guys? yeah I remember the IG model the Houston Texans player was dating and he told her he was splitting up with her. Girl tried to instigate him by clawing, scratching and hitting him in the car hoping he'd hit her and she'd get a nice payday out of it but he showed restraint. However for every IG model or whoever tries to get a fast pay day there's 5 Johnny Manziels or Ray Rice's. Besides its not like McCoy is a saint in the past either so I see no reason why it's not believable this could not have happened.
Exactly right now it's a guessing game. It's terrible what happened but let me be a conspiracy theorist and play detective as facts true or not come out.
Those two are pretty daming and if McCoy isn't at least a person of Interest at this point these cops aren't doing their job. These two things are clear signs the house was targeted specifically. Happened the same night she returns from vacation and theres no forced entry? That to me looks like someone was hired for this.
We don't know if she even is on a tenant agreement, he's the landlord. I don't understand why it's taken a year to evict her from HIS house. I also saw her instagram from 5 days ago where she was talking about an "ex trying to get her back" Maybe McCoy was trying to get back with her or maybe she was staging her posts while on vacation.
Laws differ in states but in Georgia you don't need a tenant agreement, she would be considered a "tenant at will" and it requires a court order to evict her. Now a year is more than ample time for this but maybe not the eviction avenue he chose to take.
Depends on how many people get asked, McCoy seems to know A LOT of people. Phone records and security footage of that street will be vital. From there who knows if they can pin point it on somebody and how willing they'd be to take a Plea deal lower to give up McCoy's name etc. Again assuming McCoy sent someone with a key demanding specific items.
She was scheduled to be in court the next morning. Not sure if McCoy had to show or not. The timing is crazy. You'd have to be pretty stupid to send someone the day prior, when you already went the legal process to obtain your belongings and house back.
That all seems plausible but I would find it odd timing that he would be frustrated with the pace and yet wait all the way till the eve of the court date to take this action, he was nearing the finish line. I guess it's plausible to think he assumed he'd prevail in court, win the eviction, but wanted to get some of his stuff returned before the eviction took place.
7 is probably true, but also isn't evidence of anything
No one ever said he was smart. Also this is a tactic the mafia and certain gangs use to scare off key witnesses and such before trial even a day or so before. Said person doesn't show up they get off sometimes.
McCoy and her have been in an off again on again relationship. I don't know specifics but from people in the know I've heard (Mostly talk from my co workers son who hears things from players who speak to Shady still) its one of those complicated relationships. Seems theres always issues between the two. Girl seems like she isn't the type to do something just for a quick payday though from guys who met her.
Seems like he gave her a gift before OTA's and then she was away on a trip. His 30th B-day is coming up, a few days prior she had a post saying it's pathetic her "ex" wants her back. McCoy was at a wedding all weekend and training with Frank Gore. So maybe he was still trying to get her back and she kept shutting him down.
McCoy's ex wife has already stated the accusations on their child is false. The victim's friend shouldn't have added in child, steroids, and animal abuse randomly in there with a picture of abuse. I'd assume if he was on steroids he would have got caught in his 10+ years.
That all seems more like a list of Victim blaming then anything else the list. Sounds more like someone is afraid of losing shady on their fantasy team.
These are good points, and if you can get past the pic (which is hard to justify to yourself that a human treated another that way), the post her friend made makes this look like such a vindictive action and a shakedown. Especially since you know he was regularly tested most likely and hasnt been suspended or even accused of it previously.
Could've known each other and dude may have associated with McCoy. Maybe after he was let in he was part of the intrusion? Very possible. They say most home invasions like this happen because the victims and the robber know each other in some way.
I understand that logic. But if we have learned nothing else over the past couple years it is foolish and dangerous to be unaware of what others are saying/thinking. Regardless of how obviously insane they may seem to you.
But you were ok with the initial list that cast guilt on McCoy? You did not seem to disagree with any of those possible premises. I don't know if he is guilty of what is being charged anymore then if we know is she is a victim.
PED's all depend on what he's taking. Could be something that the NFL testing doesn't detect yet or he uses some masking agent thats more advanced. McCoy's ex wife which I think is also the mother of his child has sued him in the past for not paying child support. Also this is the first I'm hearing about McCoy ever being married. I don't think they ever were and a simple google search of McCoy wife turns up nothing. Also Cordon caught him with an escort a few yrs ago.
This, I'm a Bills fan, the Bills were a 6 win team in Vegas prior to this story and it doesn't change much more than 5.5 if suspended, and he was sliding down fantasy draft boards because his age and revamped offensive line anyways. I'm strictly here to see both sides and how it could be McCoy sending someone, someone trying to prove their worth to McCoy or the women trying to stage something for $$ and spotlight.
Most take some sort of PED. Some get caught while others don't. A lot of guys take stuff for pain instead of what is prescribed so they don't get addicted and this is why theres a fight among athletes for Medical cannibas to be legalized for athletes with a prescription. It's been proven less harmful and more effective dealing with pain.
More so based on what this guy has done in the past I won't put it past him doing this. I'm also sick and tired of numerous Fans and people in general trying to defend some of these scumbags. This is why when DV happens you see a lot of women never come forward. This is why the METOO movement is happening because people are victim shamed for it especially when the accusations happen to be a famous person. Considering the stories I've heard about the guy he's a real scumbag. He's also inappropriately handled women and degraded them before. Not in a way like this but he treats women more like property then anything else. I don't want to get off topic but he should've been in jail already for beating up the cops in Philly. This is why our justice system needs to be revamped in a big way.
