May as well yell at some clouds while you're at it. You're angry, we get it. Im not angry at all Marv. Now if you were driving slow in the left lane and refusing to get over...I’d get angry.

SoCal Deek Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 Oh come on! Just stop it already! And Doug Flutie was benched because he was SHORT! And Osweiller is too TALL! And Fitz was too SMART! And....
Sweats Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 Is it any wonder that ESPN is having mass layoffs when they are reporting mass garbage and "fake news"?

Don't hear any race stuff I'm surprised they both thought it was the right move and laid the exact reasons out why. Especially Stephen A Smith. Much different than most of the other national commentators I've heard.

row_33 Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 national media isn't much help for those of us who have depth charts memorized in our sleep

This is a joke, right? Sorry, ESPN is "Entertainment and Sports Network". That's not "mainstream media", liberal or not. 10 minutes ago, Captain Murica said: HE'S HAD 2 1/2 YEARS!!!!!

buffaloboyinATL Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 Lebatard was all over this today too. Said we were forcing a back man to run a white mans offense rather than taking the time to install a "black QB offense". The comments were so stupid I could not believe he was being serious. (but he was)

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 This is why I said McD has huge brass balls. Once he gets his plays in here and his QB I can see us getting into the playoffs and making some noise.
Buffalo Ballin Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 5 hours ago, Albwan said: the benching has triggered the liberal msm, its hilarious. proof positive of the insanity: "Tyrod Taylor benched, Twitter loses mind" BS. This didn't even enter my brain. This has absolutely nothing to do with race, liberalism, c'mon cut that crap out. Whoever said this about race, did it for ratings and sensationalism. Tyrod had 3 years here. That's plenty of time to show what's up. He didn't do anything. I wanted him gone after his first year here just because his style of play doesn't work in the NFL. Tyrod runs too much and he's too CONSERVATIVE with throwing the ball. He barely throws the ball. I knew. I hate conservative players. Most of you guys didn't back at the old message board. JMS2009, where you at? Your guy is officially finished here in Buffalo. I have no problem with you defending him, but you took it to another level making personal attacks. It's over. You lost.

ESPN has forced a ton of non-sporting stories endlessly upon those of us just wanting a final score to a game, for a long time now. All with political motivation that is against what sports fans care about.
Wayne Arnold Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 http://thesportsdaily.com/buffalo-wins/one-fanns-opinion-by-rich_fann-lets-talk/ Good to see so many people are using this move to get on their "It's racist!" soapbox.

Anyone suggesting this should be terminated including Mike Schopp if as was said he attributed race as a factor in the decision. Only today are these idiotic allegations tolerated.
row_33 Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 ESPN is so lazy that four teams on the NCAA hoops scoreboard were listed as To Be Determined, three were at halftime. thanks for the extra effort....
BadLandsMeanie Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 5 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I kind of disagree - can you work with me a minute? There's a significant difference between saying overall, a group is held to a different standard, and attributing a specific occurrence to membership in that group. Example: overall, it can be shown statistically that successful Asian admittees to Ivy League schools have 120 pts higher SAT scores than their Caucasian counterparts. That implies that in fact, they probably are being held to a different standard - at a guess, preferential admission for athletes and legacies. There's a broad pattern. But if one specific Asian applicant says "I was denied admission because I'm Asian", that's playing the race card and it doesn't follow at all from the general pattern. Maybe that specific applicant wrote a sucky essay, or maybe plays squash and violin in a year where they're oversupplied with both and looking for bowling and oboe. So it could be true, overall, that Black QB are held to a different standard, scrutinized more carefully, criticized more readily. (I don't know if it is, work with me here). Then at the same time, even with that broad pattern, Tyrod Taylor got benched due to performance issues (which he did). Pointing out the broad pattern he believes he's observed, is not the same thing as playing the race card with regard to his specific circumstance. Hi. I am NOT going to get embroiled in this conversation! No no newp wont do it. BUT, I read the article with Tyrod and Kimberly Martin and there was pretty close to zero ambiguity in it that he was saying he, himself, personally, believes there is racism against him, specifically in the press. There was no other plausible way to interpret one or more of the points he made in that one story.
