Are any major outlets picking this story up? When I read this thread yesterday, I was expecting a Mixon-style bombshell with video evidence or pictures of some sort of obvious injury. It's all incredibly vague, to say the least. Nothing really has to be proven for the league or team to act on an accusation of this magnitude, and the media can basically say whatever they want as long as they use the word "alleged". Even so, it's still pretty under the radar.
This leads me to believe that perhaps people who look into these sorts of things in both the league office and the media don't see a lot going on here. Given, maybe it's the Bengals and nobody really gives a shit, but generally when a player of any caliber runs afoul of the law or general moral boundaries of society, the 24/7 sports media is on it like a fat kid on a cupcake.
