Irv Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 When he played for the Bills there was a lot of press about him going to McDonalds apprentice programs preparing for being a franchisee for his future. Seemed like he was totally squared away. What the hell happened to him? I thought he was one of the smart guys with his dough.
dave mcbride Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Again, people should read the other entries. Do not automatically assume that this is non-fiction.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 That is a lot of pain. I can only hope everyone involved finds some peace. If writing helps Janine then so be it. Darryl was one of my favorites players as a kid. I met him on many occasions and he was by far one of the most gracious players. I hope he can find peace and all around him can forgive . 2 1

I don’t mean this in a personal/negative way, I promise. Sometimes when a loved one is suffering, making all those around you suffer as a result, it needs to be released in a healthy way. I’ll respond with compassion rather than criticism as often as I can. No one is looking for a hug from us. They are just trying to cope in a difficult period. Again, not personal towards you. I just know sometimes people suffer and need a release. Lord knows I’ve done it enough here, and elsewhere. Something like severe CTE or Alzheimer’s is almost worse than a quick death. 2 3

I don't know the talleys situation and what he may have done to her over the years Spousal abuse is terrible just saying that line was not needed at all what was wrong with that line... if you are faithful to the one man in your life then you can be anything you want in the bedroom 1
DrDawkinstein Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 This is the pinnacle of the offseason. Didnt think it would be you Kirby... 1
dave mcbride Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 From the broken record dept.: don't automatically assume this is non-fiction. Check out the other entries. Looks like an aspiring short story writer to me. Of course it could be non-fiction, but it doesn't read as such to me.

Ha ha, I didn’t mean to go there. The Talley’s mean a lot to this place though as this is where the whole fundraising campaign began. I wasn’t planning on digging into and analyzing their relationship. It was more sharing the post. Besides it was that or starting another thread about a QB in the draft. FWIW, John Warwow retweeted it. That’s where I saw it. Edited April 10, 2018 by Kirby Jackson 1

If this is her truth and not just creative writing.... there’s a good chance the outpouring for her husband was really hard on her and she feels the need for some public validation of her reality. Again, if she’s speaking her truth here it has got to be tough to feel abused and see that person lauded by millions of people. Edited April 10, 2018 by NoSaint 1
Thurman#1 Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Worth scrolling to the bottom and seeing this: "Her posts are a compilation of short stories that may or may not be figments of her imagination." I hope this is one of the ones she's at least partially imagining. My best to both of them.
BuffaloBillyG Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 At the very least I could say if this is a true account I pray that they both get the help and strength they need. If it's fiction, she's a hell of a good writer. Really paints a picture well.

One of the three is clearly fiction. I don't know enough about her life to judge whether the other one is, but it reads as if it has at least some fictional components.

If Jimbo has cancer, it must help to have everyone reach out in support. If someone else has CTE/undiagnosed Alzheimer’s/addiction issues, you may bear much of the brunt of it on your own, without the full public appreciation for how difficult it is. They are beloved to a million unknown people, none of whom know the hell that daily life can be. It’s tricky stuff, and I don’t have the answers. I hope they can work through this.

I know I sure wouldn’t, wtf. Wonder if he’s even read it.

All we have are her other essays, and fiction is involved in them. 4 minutes ago, Rico said: If it’s fiction, I don’t think Darryl would appreciate that post. I know I sure wouldn’t, wtf.
