GA BILLS FAN Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Players fight, this is football I don't see why it matters........... Football is controlled aggression and discipline, not fighting. As for why it matters, from a pure football perspective, the NFL has a huge domestic violence issue they are wrestling with. If any of these players (or others that are on their way), cross the domestic violence line, the penalties are now quite severe. I'm not saying anything that happened the other night at Encore will create a football issue (suspensions), but it's a warning sign that these players, this coach and our FO should take very seriously.
Fadingpain Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Im hearing from a few different people, who all would have been close to the scene, that there was a fist fight Saturday night at Encore nightclub between Aaron Williams and.... Sammy Watkins! Still trying to dig up details, but has anyone else heard about this? Thoughts if it turns out to be true? If I find out this is definitely BS, I'll happily delete the thread. But 3 different people messaged me about it between last night and this morning. ****UPDATE****: It seems that there was no fight between Bills players, but rather a couple of players and some kids at the bar. Sounds like it got broken up quickly, and no major damage was done. Ahhhh. The good old days. Reminds me of Bruce Smith in his misguided youth getting in fist fights at Mickey Rat's. Maybe this will be a harbinger of good things to come.
bbb Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 1980 was a very good year. Including Haslett vs. Isiah R in the parking lot of the Pierced Arrow!
Fadingpain Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 1980 was a very good year. Including Haslett vs. Isiah R in the parking lot of the Pierced Arrow! Great one! Good memories. We need a new marketing tag line like the Bermuda Triangle. Any ideas out there?
RalphOP83 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 You've made many assumptions here...which is something that I don't do. Keep in mind the possibility of disinterested witnesses... Security cameras. As I said it won't be pursued... Formally or informally. As an attorney it's my job to advise individuals (not friends) of their options.

Gordio Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) I work as an Attorney in the financial industry...I advised them of their options and referred them to someone versed in this realm. I am no legal expert but isn't this kind of a breach of client confidentialty coming on a message board & telling us this? After living in both cities over 20 years each, he's right on the money. In La Woods can go to a bar & probably noone even recognizes him. In Buffalo a much different story. Smalls towns could be good sometimes but have their downsides also. Edited May 6, 2015 by Gordio

GunnerBill Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 They are not his clients; he referred them to someone else. Be he did advise them of their options. I don't know the position in the US but under the Solicitors' Regulation Authority code in the UK that would create a legitimate expectation of confidentiality.

C.Biscuit97 Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I'm not a fan of players going out and getting fights. It's dumb on many levels. I also remember seeing some loser try to start a fight with Lawyer Milloy once. People get giant beer muscles.
RalphOP83 Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Be he did advise them of their options. I don't know the position in the US but under the Solicitors' Regulation Authority code in the UK that would create a legitimate expectation of confidentiality. Nothing said was privileged or confidential...
GunnerBill Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 In the UK if someone sought your advice in your professional capacity and you gave said advice there would be an expectation of confidentiality whether the material in question is in and of itself privileged or confidential in nature. I don't pretend for a second to know what the position is in America and I am certainly not seeking to question your professional conduct.
DrDawkinstein Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 Confidential or not, I appreciate the small amount of inside info Ralph was able to contribute. Thanks, Ralph!
Tipster19 Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Great one! Good memories. We need a new marketing tag line like the Bermuda Triangle. Any ideas out there? How about "The Dirty Dozen"? Rex can lead the charge in Lee Marvin's role as Major Reisman, only rename him Major Rexman. A bunch of outcasts led by a maverick Major on a do or die mission.
Retsel Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Next time take Incognito with you guys. At least he would have looked after all your sissies .
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Ahhhh. The good old days. Reminds me of Bruce Smith in his misguided youth getting in fist fights at Mickey Rat's. Maybe this will be a harbinger of good things to come. Ahhh Mickey rats.... $5 all you can drink, and altered library cards accepted as ID... Those were the days
3rdand12 Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Next time take Incognito with you guys. At least he would have looked after all your sissies .
