KellyToTasker Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 I hope O'leary has a huge day. Maybe that'll motivate Clay. I think he should play.....Various professions, it is what it is.....Sometimes you miss out on things like the birth of your child. A multi-million dollar athlete, IMO, should play.
C.Biscuit97 Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 I wonder how likely it is that Nick O'Leary permanently takes over the starting role as the Bills TE because of an amazing performance. 5 catches 110 yards and a score. Calling it now! Maybe if he wears gloves!

Calling it now! I think O'Leary can match Clay's limited role as a receiver. It is in protections and the running game I worry.

What does money have to do with anything? It's the birth of a child. You can't replace that moment with money
WotAGuy Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 Wonder if any player has had to choose between playing in the Super Bowl and attending their child's birth.
YoloinOhio Posted December 3, 2016 Author Posted December 3, 2016 Wonder if any player has had to choose between playing in the Super Bowl and attending their child's birth.Richard Sherman was close to having that happen a couple years ago ... they had to find a doctor in AZ just in case I think.
Wayne Cubed Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 Maybe if he wears gloves! But did you know, he's the grandson of Jack Nicklaus.

Manther Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 The 2016 Bills season in review videos should have the Benny Hill song played throughout. LMAO! Well played..........and yes, it should!
K D Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 Just play with 10 guys. Tyrod can't see him over the middle anyways so it won't be much of a loss
Manther Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 Ditka would've played. Ditka would've played.

You can't replace that moment with money It's not from his point of view, it's from the ownership's. Money is being paid to him, a very large amount. It's his responsibility to meet his professional commitment. He chose this profession.

He chose this profession.jmo but the teams pay NFL players millions based on their talent and that there is a very limited amount of people in the world who can do what these guys do. Thry aren't paying them to place the job over monumental life events. They know that there will be times where life events like births or deaths that are not in their control can occur and conflict with a game, and the player may choose to address said life event. In these (rare) cases they have contingency plans. Edited December 3, 2016 by YoloinOhio

Players get paid a lot of money because of their talent and put their long term at health. Teams have no loyalty so I have zero issues with a player choosing his family over a game. I feel the same way with every other profession and if you work in a place where you can't get off for the birth of a child, you work in a horrible place.
John from Riverside Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 What will be interesting is if we roll with TE's other then Clay and they have bigger days.....like O'Leary
