00:00Stani writes that in its show, Renier. Let's get the first digs here.

00:03Stephon Diggs, the Patriots, released a statement yesterday, quote,

00:07the New England Patriots are aware of accusations that have been made regarding Stephon Diggs.

00:11Stephon has informed the organization that he categorically denies the allegations.

00:15We support Stephon. We will continue to gather information and fully cooperate

00:18with the appropriate authorities and the NFL as necessary.

00:22So what that basically means is this guy's good.

00:24This guy could be a key to us winning a Super Bowl.

00:26So we'll let the legal ramifications play out because by the time we find out

00:31if he did any wrongdoing, it'll be in the Super Bowl season.

00:33Then we can make our determination in the offseason.

00:36But as for now, Stephon, welcome to the playoffs.

00:40Yeah, according to the incident report, apparently a woman said she had been working for Diggs.

00:47And then on December 2nd, I guess she claimed he owed her money

00:51and he didn't agree and slapped and choked her.

00:54That's the story that apparently she is claiming, that Diggs entered her unlocked bedroom

01:00and smacked her across the face.

01:02She said she tried pushing him away, but he used his, it looks like his elbow

01:07or the crook of his elbow around her neck.

01:10And that is what she was filing the report on.

01:14But he denies it.

01:15She says it happened.

01:16And eventually, I think, Donnie, two days before what should be the AFC championship game

01:22is when he has to appear in court.

01:24So it's going to be interesting.

01:26Will he even be on the team?

01:27Will the NFL suspend him prior to that?

01:30There's a lot still unknown about this.

01:32There's a lot stillnt set in court.
