You actually cracked through my hard candy shell with this one. I mean, sexual predator humor...amiright!?!? You used a Chevy Chase avatar on the BBMB back in the day? I can't recall your handle (was never an avid contributor), but I recognize repulsive, commendable humor when I see it.

For all the crap that Bucky and Sully took (and rightfully so), Timmah can never admit that he was wrong. Even his response says that he's only "technically" wrong and that it really was rape. Were you there Tim? I hope he technically gets his technical ass sued off for technical liable. What a douche.

Richard Noggin Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) Has anyone read the charges and plea and conviction and all that? It's really a legal conviction of sexual assualt... 2 minutes ago, Jay_Fixit said: I’d say I’m a poor mans jayryp80. There it is. I was a member since 2004.

Bernie Kosar tweets a photo from Jim Kelly's charity event that included Vic C posing next to Cornelius Bennett. Graham retweets it with that caption. In another tweet TG claims he isn't taking a shot at Carruci. I think of course it is, and right out on public. What do you think? Meow. 1

There are like 5 different guys I’m that photo. But in the age of #meToo maybe he thinks it’s a legit gripe? Or maybe he is looking for clicks? Maybe?

Lurker Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 https://www.deseretnews.com/article/659928/Book-details-NFLs-criminal-side.html Benedict cited the case of Atlanta Falcons linebacker Cornelius Bennett, who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a woman who accompanied him to a hotel room in 1997 and served 36 days in jail. [BTW, trying to insert a size XXL **** in a size M ******* is never a good idea] "He was charged with three felonies and a misdemeanor," the writer said. "The charges were dropped because he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge as part of a plea bargain. That doesn't mean he didn't do those things." Then again, the woman was not some innocent young thing... https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bennetts-accuser-arrested/

Vic Carucci was doing it far better than him or ANY of those other bought out clowns at the Buffalo News. Nobody gives a **** about Tim Graham's opinion but him and his sycophants. We need more Vic Caruccis in Buffalo sports news. Edited June 5, 2018 by EasternOHBillsFan 1

Honestly, I only marginally know the situation.
BadLandsMeanie Posted June 5, 2018 Author Posted June 5, 2018 Do I have it wrong or wasn't Tim Graham sports editor at TBN at one time? I think he was when he did the Pegula piece in Jan 2017. But I can't get in to blitz to see if his title was editor. Im pretty sure he was. He is a listed as a reporter now. Does anyone remember he was an editor? Or do I have that wrong?

Honestly, I only marginally know the situation. Because she subsequently was suing him and it does change one's impression. My understanding though is that they knew one another. They were having a consensual experience until Bennett did something she did not want to do, that hurt her physically, and for which she needed to go to the hospital. Nuff said. The subsequent charges against her don't change that. Bennett did something rotten and received therapy which he says helped him. 3
KD in CA Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 No surprise. This is the same gutless turd who ran crying from this board after people told him he was full of sh--. Now desperately trying to make himself relevant in a commoditized market of sports reporting.
Fadingpain Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Why do people go fishing for this crap on Twitter, then get bent out of shape when they find it? Weird comment by Graham. Not sure what he's up to, but then again, I don't give a rat's ass either. So there's that.

Weird comment by Graham. Not sure what he's up to, but then again, I don't give a rat's ass either. So there's that. 2 things. I didn't fish for it, it showed up in my feed. Because someone that I follow, liked it. Someone you would know about. Who then thought better of it, and un-liked it. For your punishment for your snarky tone, I will never tell who that was who unliked it once they realized the implications. :I The other thing is, not knowing Tim Graham said that, doesn't mean it did not happen. It was said. So when looking around in the world, if somebody sees something that they don't agree with, it doesn't make much sense to tell them not to look as a solution. And I am not bent out of shape about it. I imagine Carrucci may be. But to me it is interesting. Not upsetting. Edited June 5, 2018 by BadLandsMeanie
BADOLBILZ Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Sounds like maybe he and Vic had a disagreement and Vic took some moral high ground and Graham took this opportunity to knock him off? As for the people rushing to Bicuit's defense........he was up to no good hanging out with a person he shared drug use with and figured he could just rape said person without consequence because of her less-than-stellar criminal record so he did........because he was a scumbag. From a playing career standpoint.......he was a underachiever in his career in Buffalo........near invisible in Super Bowls..........and resisted the move to a position he was better suited for and stabbed John Butler and all Bills fans in the back by signing with Atlanta after promising to allow Buffalo to match. He wanted to live "that life" in Atlanta. He didn't play badly after leaving but disconnecting from the Bills pseudo-dynasty probably cost him HOF enshrinement. He had finally found the position that best suited him there with Wade Phillips. 1
