BadLandsMeanie Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 You have to know what you are doing to cap and post pictures like that. A professional could trace it down at least partially to where it came from, unless you knew what to do to prevent it.

hemma Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 I'm thinking the Bills or a Bills' proxy put out the old tweets. Either that or a venomous ex-girlfriend.
PIZ Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 Probably the Cheatriots. Speaking of Twitter, what does it mean when they say RT?
YoloinOhio Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 Just now, PIZ said: Probably the Cheatriots. Speaking of Twitter, what does it mean when they say RT? RT = retweet. So if I see something on my timeline i want to share with my followers, I RT it. You can comment on it too when you RT if you wish but don’t have to. 2
transplantbillsfan Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 24 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: The article you link does not in any way support that it was Az that released the tweet screenshots The point it makes is that Az actually had a plan in place to trade up to 5 for Allen, but it was Chubb falling that nixed their plan I know that... just putting 2 & 2 together. Someone maliciously released tweets that had been long deleted the night before the draft. No greater time to do it to make a prospect drop in the draft... think Laremy Tunsil a couple years ago. NFL teams that want a QB have the most motive to do it. Arizona was reportedly "heartbroken" missing out on Allen. Sorry, just seems a strong adjective to me. When someone is heartbroken, the connotation of that word also implies confident expectations that were not met. No, the article doesn't say Arizona did it, anyone clicking the link can see that. It's just evidence in my mind.

NewEra Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 Arizona, Buffalo or his ex GF from HS are the prime suspects for leaking that info imo. I could see Russ Brandon being all over this plan
Klaista2k Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 Any chance the Bills were the ones who released the tweets so Allen would drop?
Wayne Arnold Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 6 hours ago, PromoTheRobot said: You mean the people losing their minds over Michelle Wolf? Yes, absolutely. "Snowflakes" applies to both sides of the political spectrum. . I lean to the left, personally. I'm just anti-fake-outrage. 1

Have we learned who outed these tweets on the eve of the draft? This whole thing seemed Belichickean. Doesn't his agent advise him on social media? If not, he should fire his agent. This has been badly mishandled and we are lucky that it didn't turn into a bigger media circus. Not to mention it was taken completely out of context and blown out of proportion and no one seemed willing to correct public perception.
