SouthernMan Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 2 other guys who are revered in Bills lore should probably go on this list as well, given the untimeliness of their departures and the debacle that followed. Both guys were instrumental parts of multiple playoff teams and both crushed us by bolting for greener pastures. Lou Saban and Chuck Knox. Seriously? They both left for the same reason - they were each building great teams and filling Rich Stadium. Both coaches hit the same wall - as soon as the team starts getting good, star players that are receiving national and league-wide recognition want to be paid like their peers. So long Ahmad Rashad. Have a great career. Typical. Ralph and his bean counters were fine when Chuck K was able to get something going with castoff veterans like Dobler, Robertson, etc. who came at bargain pricing. But it was the young upcoming players in their prime that couldn't get paid. Saban and Knox both left for the same reasons - they knew that under Ralph Wilson, they'd be in constant rebuilding mode - always having to replace the players drafted 4 years prior who were just reaching their prime. How frustrating it had to be to have a plan in place to build a champion, only to have the rug pulled out from under them by a misguided miser. Sound familiar? History repeats.
BRAWNDO Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) Smerlas is one of those legends that won't die. Third and short any quarterback in the league could draw him off-sides. He admitted in his book that he laid down to get Hank Bullough fired. I still remember the radio show he and Haslet did during their playing days-totally arrogant jerks. Yeah, I was too young for Smerlas but I heard him on the radio with Howard Simon a few years ago. He came across as the biggest d bag on the planet. He was a like a Pats pawn and talked down to Simon and his co host. He seemed very bitter towards the Bills. Whats the term used to describe people from Massachusetts? Oh yeah Mass holes Edited June 5, 2012 by BRAWNDO
Meathead Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 you cant top OJ yeah how can there be any answer other than oj the battle here is for second place
Phil Hansen Forever Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Some one should mention Travis Henery. There, I just did. I'm with you, Travis Henry and OJ are high on my list. Perhaps, you could throw in the "beast" too, or Conrad Dobler for being a dirty SOB.
Meathead Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 with oj being the standard bearer for killing two people he gets the perfect score of 100. we dont even need to count the incident holding memorabilia dealers at gunpoint travis henry, the only other bill who is/was a long term convict, gets only a score of 52 for second place for trafficking in cocaine and illegitimate children - as far as we know he didnt sell his children but if that drug deal had gone through who knows third is conrad dobler, whose douchbaggery was all on the field, and he posts a relatively low score of 32
Hapless Bills Fan Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Kinnebrew story is not for public consumption.. Would it have to do with this? NEWS In Other News August 24, 1993Jurors were selected for the retrial of former RB Larry Kinnebrew on charges that he raped a Cincinnati woman. The five-man, seven-woman jury is to hear opening statements and testimony today in Hamilton County.

He later played for the Buffalo Bills.
