Tipster19

Lol! Thanks, I thought the same thing. Believe it or not I was reading his bio and if this guy were to buy into a team and it's concept then I believe that he could be one heck of a steal.

I know that the guy comes with baggage but I'm a sucker for a feel good story. If he were to buy in with what they are doing up there in Buffalo then he could be a real diamond because the guy has the physical attributes and measurables that we're looking for. Of course a short term, incentive laden contract would be benefitful to both parties.

Who cares? As far as I'm concerned Bell can go hang out with Jonas Jennings after this season. Btw, this Jason Peters is still a big pain in the ass, isn't he. Him, Bell and that fat pig Andy Reid can all go hang out at some pie eating contest.

Happy Easter!

Oooh, I don't like hearing about the heart attack thing! I'm wondering, wasn't he one of the coaches that got seriously injured when Dallas' practice facility collapsed from that windstorm?

Thanks SJBF, I really appreciate that! I saw the doctor today for the first time today and he really picked up my spirits. I'm really excited about the future of our team and I'm especially happy for our young fans. They are going to see and have a VERY good team that they can be proud of for years to come!

Nothing earth shattering here. No great intellectual insights here. I'm just an old upper low class/lower middle class fan who, like many here, agonize over the ups and downs of this franchise for years (decades for me) now. I'll tell you what I find unexpectedly running thru my mind lately, and please if anyone else would like to add to it then be my guest. First off, I like George Wilson.........a lot! I like the way he plays, I like his attitude and most of all I like the way his story, the way he went undrafted as a WR and now he's our starting SS and a darn good one at that! I like our players, I think all of them. I can't think of one player on our team that I don't like. I like that we drafted Marcel Dareus. The guy is a beast and I hope that he plays his whole career for us. I think that he's just a good, hard working individual who, like many other players on our team, is and will be fiercely loyal to us and our community. I haven't seen any hints or traces of character issues with him on or off the field so far. Not to be judgemental or to negatively convict either of Detroit's DTs Suh and Fairly but as a fan I'd have to say that I would be pretty disappointed if Dareus was caught stomping on a guy' s face after a play was over or was failing a drug test. I really dig the team chemistry. I think that these players for the most part really like being teammates and in my opinion that's huge. I think that Mr. Wilson really hit a homerun when he hired Buddy Nix & Co. And before I forget I think that Russ Brandon doesn't get enough credit or appreciation. I'm proud that he's a part of our organization and more importantly, I think that he is too. I heard him in an interview a few weeks ago. When he was asked about how and what he does and tells prospective free agents about playing for Buffalo and the community it will almost downright choke you up. I like that, I like that a lot! I'm not on the payroll and I'm not being delusional looking thru rose colored glasses. I'm just an ordinary blue collar guy who has had a long love affair with his football team that has been mightily struggling for YEARS and these are just a few things that I've been noticing and/or realizing as of lately. Actually I could go on with more but I'm sure that some of you are going to find this post drippy enough but I sincerely mean what I said and I'm sure that I got my point across. Matter of fact I can sum it up with this. "It feels good to be a Bills' fan again!". Go Bills!

Buddy is playing moneyball and rightfully so. We're a small market team and at this point we need to pay for production, not potential. I guess you can say we're playing "BuddyBall". Hey. I think that I like that term!

Now if we can only get a good LT that wants to be here than we can seriously be a threat for the play-offs. I almost feel like Buffalo is the farm team for the Eagles' LT position. We groom 'em and they take 'em! Wtf!

I don't know, is it just me but this AJ Smith is really starting to get under my skin. I'm starting to think that he's paying attention to what we're doing and he's sabotaging Buddy to some small degree. I guess that he still can't get over that whole Ralph/Butler thing. Piss on him. With that being said, my most vivid memory of Roscoe is on that MNF game when I pulled Moulds in favor of Parrish on my fantasy team and promptly got my ass stomped. Moulds went off and Parrish disappeared. Ah, just another fine decision making on my part with my Buffalo roster. Now that I think about it the past remnants of administrations of yesteryear have been nothing but albatrosses. I say purge 'em all!

Lol! That's a good one Coach and accurate!

I was admitted Thursday morning, released early Saturday afternoon. No more smoking (40+ years), complete change of diet (no more pizza, chicken wings etc) and just a total lifestyle change. The hardest part by far is the change of diet. All I did was live on pizza, I love it so much.

Matter of fact I did, one. Turns out one of my arteries was 99% clogged. They said that I'm fortunate to be alive and if I waited any longer that there would be no more Tipster19 (they really didn't say anything about the Tipster thing but you know what I mean).

They sure did! Everyone responded in the typical Buffalo way.........passionately!!! Just ask our current players (and former!), they know, that's why they LOVE playing here and that's why I LOVE being a part of this forum with all you crazy maniacs (I'm one too! Lol!) because YOU are all our crazies! Today I think that I understand a little what our players must think and feel about us because you all have made me feel SO good and special! I have much love for all of you! "There's no place that I'd rather be than right here, right now!". That's to answer that famous Buffalo question. Lol! Seriously, thanks so much everyone, my family and myself really appreciate all of your condolences. Now, I don't want to be an old fart (I prefer to consider myself a senior fan) here so let me sign off Stevie-style. Trill #Tipster19

Thanks pal, that just put a big smile on my face! Lol! Go Bills! Gotta love it!

Well said my friend, I do love this whole one for all all for one thing between the fans and players. We are long overdue of us loving the team and the team loving us. The "Us against the world" mentality is perfect! I have a feeling that after this season we are going to have plenty of players who would love to be on our team and I like that.........a lot! Lol!

Stevie is one of my favorite current Bills and mainly for this reason. He loves Buffalo and Buffalo loves him! How great is that!

Now this is something that I could write about. Trust me when I tell you that the history of the Rochester Crime Family is as interesting as any Hollywood movie. While the name BillsMafia isn't in the best taste the concept of unifying the players with the fanbase is. If that's an identity that the young players can dig identifying with and it's not causing anyone no harm than I'm all for it.

I don't know about the whole premise but then again I really don't care because I LOVE the whole unity thing between the players and fans. Anything that creates comradity between the Buffalo fans and it's players is a HUGE thumbs up in my book! I also appreciated and enjoyed the education of this BillsMafia thing because I had no idea what this was all about. Furthermore I thought you did an EXCELLENT job writing that article, I would love to be able to write about the Bills. Thanks for your passion and thanks for sharing that article with me. Go Bills!

A heart attack??!!! How many have you had and how old are you??!!!

That's exactly right BA but I'd be very happy with Blackmon, I think that he's gonna be worth it.

This was reported earlier on rotoworld. If so this could be an interesting scenario for Buffalo.

Hey, here's a big thanks to all of you! You guys are SO funny, my spirits have been lifted greatly! I have this funny feeling that I and my situation represents most of you maniacs! Let's face it, these Buffalo Bills are in our DNAs. I think that it's safe to say that no matter what kind of adversities that we face this freaking franchise gets us so jacked up! I love it and I think that these current players love playing for us because of it! Thanks again everybody for your wellwishes, it sure made me feel a whole lot better! Go Bills!

The best remedy would be a post season appearance! All kidding aside, I pray to God that I'll be able to see the Bills actually win a Super Bowl before my time passes. I'm not joking about that.

It's Tom Reale (one proud !@#$ing Bills' fan!) at Health Park, fort Myers, Fl. That's one awfully nice offer but you really don't have to do that. What would even be better if people could bring me up to speed on the upcoming prospects because I'm WAY behind the curve. Thanks again though, you're a good dude!
