Canadian Bills Fan Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 First class move. Stories like this makes me really appriciate the little things in life that so many people take for granted
RU5781 Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) As a Rutgers alum...this is a great thing. I was at the game where Legrand was paralyzed, and have followed his story the whole way. #believe52 Edited May 2, 2012 by Jesus H. Christ
shoretalk Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Total class!!! Even within the jaded N(o)F(un)L(eague) some real and good moments can happen. Kudo's to Tampa Bay!!
playman Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 this is not just PR. its his old college coach in position to get him a memorable moment. love it.
Big Turk Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 I don't know Greg Schiano from a hill of beans, but he just became one of my favorite coaches and I have a new favorite NFC team...go Bucs!
Hapless Bills Fan Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 go ahead and kill me..I don't like it. Just feels too PRish to me. But if Eric is good with it, then i guess I should be Yeah, for myself, I don't think I'd like something like that. I'm not into symbolic, like giving a woman a mother's day card after a miscarriage. But as you say, Eric is good with it so it's cool, nice gesture.
Nanker Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Hope his agent doesn't talk him into holding out. Seriously, EL is a GREAT kid and the Rutgers family love him. This is a very nice gesture on Schiano's part. I don't think it was done for the PR per se as much as it was done as a part of the culture change in TB. There's a new sheriff in that town, and he demonstrably cares for his men.
plenzmd1 Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 I really hope you're being sarcastic... Was not being sarcastic, nor looking for an argument.but , for me, i just do not like the move. I can see i am in the huge minority here, and i get that. But like Hopeful said a fw posts above, i do not get symbolic with a team he has never been associated with or played for. Kalsu going on the Wall i get..but he was a Bill. Rutgers naming him Honary Captain for life, or something similar..i get.. But the Tampa Bucs signing him to a FA contact, i just dont. But like i said, and as Hopeful said, tru test is what does Eric think...he is good with it o so are we.
