Enjoy.

 

My favourite bit is this

 

Buffalo has passed on many different black quarterbacks over the years including Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, David Garrard, Tavaris Jackson, Josh Johnson just to name a few and if this crazy notion is true then the Buffalo Bills will also pass on QB, Cam Newton.

 

They also passed on Tom Brady, Brett Favre and Drew Brees.

I've said it before but just a reminder - reading Bleacher Report only makes you dumber.

I believe in the freedom of speech but some people should have to pass a medical before it's allowed. You'd think a brain would be a requirement.

Buffalo ****, change it to the Feltcher Report!

 

The majority of the 32 teams have turned down all those QB's, except for Newton so far!

 

What the article doesn't mention is this...James Harris QB from Grambling--Bills made Harris THE FIRST BLACK PLAYER to quarterback--but, He Sucked!

WTF?? When exactly did the Bills 'pass' on Vick or McNabb? I was under the impression they were drafted #1 and #2 overall, respectively. And did it occur to anyone the Bills (and everyone else) passed on Tavaras Jackson because he sucks?

 

 

If I was Emperor, people would be beaten senseless for writing sh-- like that.

Gee, I didn't know slavery was still going on durring WWI, I guess we didn't get the memo after the Civil War.

 

Hard to draft McNabb and Vick when they are gone before we pick, apparently facts don't need to be bothered with to get the "truth" out.

Posted

The Bills hate black QBs, yet they tried to trade for McNabb last season.

No they didn't.

Not because he's black, because he sucks and Nix knows it.

Making this insinuation without even knowing Ralph Wislon or having any facts whatsoever to support his theory is journalism at its worst. The guy must have been drunk when he wrote that piece of crap article.

One could infer they "passed" on signing Vick in FA or trading for McNabb. Doesn't matter though the point of the article is ridiculous. Even if RW had a little racist in him it doesn't mean his GM's would too.

"Just in case anyone is wondering in order to have this article constituted libel the courts would have to prove I was out to harm someone and did not put any facts into the article, which I did. I mean no harm to Ralph Wilson or the Buffalo Bills organization it is simply my opinion which I am entitled to." :bag:

Let's be honest. The only decent QB's that Buffalo drafted was Kelly and maybe Ferguson..thats it. So let the demographics fall where thay may on the good QB's they didn't draft.

In addition to everything stated in this thread already, I remember Butler talking about McNabb the year before he came out of college saying something to the effect of "if a certain semi-local QB were to come out a year early the Bills would draft him".

 

This is one of the biggest POS pieces of "journalism" I've seen in a long time.

 

But the writer brushes it off with a "well that's just like, my opinion man".

I left my two cents (well, two comments).

 

Turns out, the clown who wrote this garbage -- GB Bongiovanni -- has his own website, called "The Penalty Flag Blog" (stupid name).

 

If you go to the original source of this article, he doesn't ask the question: he flat out SAYS that the Bills won't draft a black QB out of racism. The title is, definitively, "Buffalo Bills Won’t Select Cam Newton Because He Is Black."

 

I know this is some clown's personal blog, but he apparently is syndicated by major sites (FoxSports.com, etc). Any way we can flame him? :D

Love that only 4 of those were on the clock when the Bills had draft picks and zero of those from the four would people say they should have drafted.
