Talk radio is often the best way to take the temperature on how sports fans are feeling at the moment. In Buffalo, there's precious little support for the Bills keeping rookie punter Matt Araiza, accused of participating in a gang rape of a 17-year-old girl last year when he was attending San Diego State. On Saturday, the Bills released Araiza.
Is a punter a big deal to the Bills?
Well, every team needs one, but this isn't like a quarterback. Particularly in Buffalo, where the Bills have such a high-powered offense that they punted two times or fewer in seven games last season. In three of four games at the end of the season, they didn't punt at all. Not once. So that's a lonely job in Buffalo. This team is all about star quarterback Josh Allen.
