Another girl with a bogus story trying to get some cash from an NFL player. Jeez.

for every blackmailer there are ten women who a athlete got really pushy with… if he was dumb enough to get in this situation… oh well..

Heck he will pay out of court like Ray Lewis did to the two families able to hide the facts and move on and some day first round HOF’er. That is the NFL of today. Yes he will play today and the announcers will be silent as usual.

The 49ers are just happy that they aren’t playing Srattle today.

Thumbs down me all you want, but facts are facts. Truth is we were a couple of rookie mistake away from this being a completely different game.

For his sake, I hope he is innocent. Not knowing the facts, however, has never stopped speculation. If he is being scammed (big week for scams apparently), the girl should be arrested. But if he is guilty of something, it will be a free-for-all on social media and in the news since he was allowed to leave Cali to go play. We all love watching for a possible train wreck…..

So how much did this “highly, highly doubtful” cost them?

Yeah sorry but if there was any of this other hypothetical evidence they wouldn’t have let him leave the state. Looks like the taxpayers will have to continue to pay the girls way instead of just Crabs

No evidence= 4 game suspension Mr. Commish!

What a great way to distract a major player on the eve of a critical game: file a false charge of sexual assault. Of course, filing false charges is criminal, but how many DAs want to get into a he said-she said confrontation. And meanwhile, the player has this burden, consciously or unconsciously.

With this much money on the game, it seems a nice technique to manipulate the odds slightly, at no cost.

Indeed, as Brian Banks knows very well, you don’t have to have done the crime and you can still be charged and convicted despite a complete lack of evidence (after all, how can there be evidence of something that never happened?).

How many athletes were investigated for sexual assaults and actually charged or arrested? Not too many… I still don’t get how these guys can fall into that trap. Learn from your peers.

He probably won’t be if he has good counsel.
I mean look at what Ray Lewis got away with…

Not surprised one bit. Athletes get girls on a nightly basis. Rarely will a gold digger come out and cry rape ( Kobe, Big Ben) to try and win the lottery. Those type of women are hoping they will pay up to avoid bad PR but, and good for them, they don’t.

I’ll reiterate. Crabtree will be angry, angry, angry. And that’s only good news for #49ers.

I completely agree that we cannot rush to judge in either direction on this case. But please excuse my snicker at the idea of PFT telling us that we need to be patient and wait for the facts.

He must be using Big Ben’s attorney.

Rapists tend to use the same attorneys to pay off their victims

this whole thing is blown out of proportion….i wouldnt be surprised if this was set up by the opposing teams so that the niners get distracted from winning.

I wonder if, when he was drafted, they thought he would be the longest holdout in team history?

Crabtree is escorted off the field in handcuffs halfway through the 2nd quarter.
