jumbalaya Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 So if we build a strong Oline that can pound the ball, draft a good RB or keep CJ, have promising young WRs, draft or sign a solid TE; What will EJ's excuse be when he sucks?
chris heff Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Remember Brent Grimes tweet-happy wife? She tweeted this about Martin this past fall --http://larrybrownsports.com/football/brent-grimes-wife-miko-blasts-jonathan-martin/248646Yo, i was poking fun at Rob for criticizing my use of the word "ignorant". He objected to the fact that I referred to Incognito as ignorant. Ignorance meaning Ill informed, not racist or lacking in character. it is my contention that ignorance is a prerequisite to lack of character or racism. Can't remember whether this is inductive or deductive reasoning, "John is a racist, therefore John is ignorant". Rob, after correcting me, referred to Martin as a "kitty". I get that he was using "kitty" in the colloquial sense not the strict definition. I found it ironic. Edited February 7, 2015 by chris heff

FireChan Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Except he insulted the team and the city while going out the door the last time. But that's okay. I'm sure Buffalo's a much more attractive location for him now. Brandon Spikes did all that AND tried to hurt like 4 Bills.
TC in St. Louis Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I like the signing. Dude is crazy. Who wants to line up across from Richie Incognito? He has been a maniac from the get-go. He was trouble at Nebraska. That's why he lasted till the 3rd round. He had first round talent, but he is crazy. Great signing.
Rob's House Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Really, that's almost buying him a free pass from many here- they think that's his only question mark and it wasn't bad. They ignore the drugs, the multiple games lost by unneeded personal fouls, his sexual harassment incident, etc.... Guy was run off his college team, the team that drafted him cut him mid year for his antics, we opted not to hold his rights at a bargain basement price, and of course getting run out of Miami..... As an individual, if we cut him, so be it - no loss. The only potential downside is him around young impressionable lineman. If he's still partying hard, do we want him next to Henderson, for instance. I didn't like Incognito prior to that because of other incidents, but that Jonathan Martin thing got blown so far out of proportion that I felt compelled to defend him anyway.

hondo in seattle Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I just reread the first few pages of this thread. It's funny how some people were so cocksure Incognito wasn't coming to the Bills. We could all be more open-minded. Richie behaved reasonably well when he was last in Buffalo. Played reasonably well too. Some people think Ray Rice and AP deserve second-chances. Vick got his second-chance. Why not Incognito whose 'crimes' were less serious? I'm guessing & hoping he learned a valuable lesson during the scandal and the year-plus out of football. If not, we can always cut him. Desperation drives people to do things they don't normally do and right now we're desperate at guard.
bisonbrigade Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Let's face it folks he Incognito is WAY better than any of the other stiffs we have as OG on the team. Sign him for the league minimum with an opt out clause to cut him if he is a bad boy. At the very least he might teach the OL a little something.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I like the fact that Whaley believes there is always a lot of risk with all these guys. Therefore, If it is a RISK make sure it has UPSIDE!

Don't know that, he might be worse then what we have now. Fat guy been out of the league over a year, mental disabilities...

And kitty is the result of board censoring of another word that often proceeds cat.
rumblefish Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 ask yourself this are the Bills under the new what's name HC smarter than the other 31 teams in the league. who passed on this player, that would be a no

Rob's House Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 So what you are saying is that racists, intolerant or people lacking in character are well informed? I'm saying I don't see a direct link there.
bonechiller Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 That's among the things I don't get about this board. Someone comes along passes alleged inside scoop and gets buried. Why not wait a bit to see if the story shakes out, and then decide whether to congratulate or pounce? Also get annoyed when people demand that posters reveal their sources, otherwise the story isn't true. It's up to you whether you want to trust a poster or not. But they're not going to open up the kimono, Like this^^ Be a little patient before jumping on someones " hot tip", And why would anyone have to reviel their sources?
Beef Jerky Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Just a note that if and when the Bills sign Incognito, the OP would have one of the best and well-deserved mic drops on this board. Even with all the mockery, he never gave crap back. Some of you owe the dude an apology, assuming he returns. I don't care if he just had a good guess. He will return until he gets something wrong that is how all these ICB guessers are. Edited February 7, 2015 by Beef Jerky
