ExiledInIllinois Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 What exactly did Allen say again? Quick synopsis. SparkNotes version please.

Evidently a lot of it was song quotes (I question more his taste in music) and pranking by fellow players who borrowed cell phone. That's such a convenient bull **** excuse. I'm not saying the tweets make him racist, but I just don't buy that ****. If your friends keep tweeting out racist stuff when they borrow your cell phone, when do you stop giving them your cell phone? He was young and dumb. Extremely dumb. Edited May 6, 2018 by Ol Dirty B
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 You can't unring a bell. Why does it matter? Somebody has to always be to blame? Move on, water under the bridge. 1

I too am not convinced it was a NFL team. I think a sports reporter or can is a more likely culprit. 6 hours ago, Augie said: We’ll never know, and it would have to be far more heinous for me to worry much about what some 14-15 year old kid tweets. Let this be a lesson to the current crop of youngsters. The lesson is obvious. If you wAnt to make dumb comments, make them behind the hand ball courts when you and your buddies sneak out to smoke a cigarette. DO NOT do it on twitter. You might as well chisel it in stone in front of the school. But with the state of Twitter and people today I give them .01003 chance of learning anything. They'll probably rationalize it by saying he still got picked at 7 and is a millionaire.

Most plausible theory yet On 4/28/2018 at 2:34 PM, Ifartalot said: Regardless, the fault for this "leak" is all on Allen and he has no one to blame but himself for his stupidity and ignorance. That he left them on his twitter account for 6 or so years and just recently deleted them would seem that they didn't concern him. The "I was just a young foolish teen" excuse is lame, many players won't buy that. The Bills took a big risk in more ways than one with Allen. From someone with the name " Ifaralot" . . . calling someone else, "stupid and ignorant" ????

Could it have been the Bills? Cards? Doubt we will ever find out for sure but be I think its pretty much guaranteed it was an NFL team... Again, when it comes to leaks, I dont put anything past Russ Brandon. I know this one is a stretch, but if he knew the Bills liked him, and we didnt have a solid trade deal in place the night before the draft, I could see Russ thinking he'd be the hero.

I had one place ask me about it (changed my name on board at time due to it) and interviewer was laughing at some of the posts I did so it did not hurt but it does hurt potential job seekers. 10 hours ago, DrDawkinstein said: Again, when it comes to leaks, I dont put anything past Russ Brandon.

Good be a Bills fan who hated him as a choice and wanted Bills to pass on him. That profile fits many here.
