Agree, except she has his child.
Now lets say she is some psycho bitch that is trying to pull of some con to take McDonald's money. It certainly wouldn't be the craziest thing ever. And since she has his kid, he can't just kick her to the curb or whatever.
However, if this really is the scenario, then McD needs to be smart enough to only interact with her through a lawyer. And to begin the process of getting full custody of his kid.
So even in the best case scenario, McDonald is still a fucking idiot.

Its all so stupid. Bears gave the guy a chance. Nothing wrong with that. Dude fucked up and bears cut him. What is the big fucking deal.
McD came to the bears with no outstanding charges and no guilty sentences. If the Bears were gon keep him on the team and actually pay him, then I could see a problem.

"so you talk to the accusers counsel and he says ray is a terrible guy that did terrible things. then you talk to ray and his counsel and they say she is lying. where does that get you? signing him to a zero tolerance policy is / was the right thing to do given there has not been a trial or preponderance of evidence (ie, ray rice style). nfl owners are not judges, they are the chairmen or organizations who tap into a pool of limited resources for talent and make calculated risks. in this case, there was no risk. i am a bears fan and i applaud them being bold enough to give a second chance, smart enough to make it a zero tolerance / zero guaranteed risk and savvy enough to sign a talent in the first place. imagine if he was a good citizen and it worked out? upside, lots of upside. it didn't work out and what do you have? zero downside except for some media pundits sitting on their throne with 20 20 hindsight vision."

Hahahahahaha! There are very coherent arguments as to why someone shouldn't care about this whole thing.
Then there is this.
If you didn't see this coming (a screw up screwing up) from a mile away, you are almost certainly an idiot. But yes, George would have needed the ability to read minds to know that this was coming. Turns out I must have esp too! LOL!

You act like the bears assumed some kind of risk.
The bears took on zero risk. Zero stakes. And they had a chance at a very productive player.
Didn't work out and guess what? There are zero consequences for the bears. zero. The season does not start for 3 months. By then, this shit will be completely erased from public consciousness.
Lets recap:
Bears made a move with zero risk because there was zero consequence if it didn't work out.
So what is the problem again?

Where did I say there it was a bad risk? I said they saw it coming. The contract supports that. I personally didn't like it because I didn't like the guy, but as far as football risk, there wasnt much.

Sorry, I must have missed where you called this. I guess yours was a silent protest. #calleditafterithappened

LOL! Ok, you got me. You know what my thoughts were. Maybe YOU are the one that can peer in to people's soul. Please don't stop, you're killing me.

Maybe you lack compression, I never said you did not think it. Just always amused at those that come on here and crow about what they knew but lacked to mention before it happened. #Nostradamus

Mulligan said this morning that Urlacher hired an off-duty Cook Country Sheriff to drive with him to that Hinsdale Oasis, where there were cameras, specifically so shit like this wouldn't happen to him. It's amazing to me that more guys (or maybe they do, and because they do this we don't hear about it) don't do this.

You still think you need some sort of extra sensory powers to believe that Ray McDonald would continue his MO? Maybe I should be your life coach. I can tell you not to let the "reformed" burglar live with you and things like that.

Think you are having trouble with the difference between something being a surety and something being a possibility.
Wrong. The contract does not support this. If they saw this coming, there would be no contract. The contract validates that they thought this was a possibility.

Great, so you go let your kids play with a child rapist because you aren't sure what might happen(not saying McDonald is this). The bears knew better than to have blind faith, which was the reason for the contract being not guaranteed. He saw it coming. No esp. If you only react to surety then you are surely as much a fool as the other poster. Its a terrible point.

Listen, I've fallen victim to it myself. I was a college freshman 12 years ago with a random roommate. He was a bad guy. I knew living with the guy that something bad was going to happen. I saw it coming. Then during move out he stole my Xbox. I should have known better. I saw it coming and it still happened. I wasn't sure per se, but I saw it coming.
