I bet you Matt does OK for himself. Probably into very petite women given the minimalist lifestyle. This is my kind of guy all around. I haven't bought a jersey in years, but I'll have a 58 before the season begins. 2 1

StHustle Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 He sounds like a Phillip Lindsay type of guy. Great to know he's super focused.

I know there were other odd idiosyncrasies but mostly I remember him being fantastic against the run -which paired well with Smerlas at Nose & Bruce at RDE. Where are they now? 1

BillsPride12 Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 Milano is an absolute beast. He might be the best bang for the buck draft pick in the McBeane era which is saying a lot considering some of the draft picks they have hit on. Our defense is getting close to being something very special.
3rdand12 Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 Milano fits in McBeanes world quite nicely. on the field and off i might guess. : )

Not intending any disparagement of Matt, but actually it probably doesn't require much discipline. At least, the people I know who have the means to do more, but have a similar minimalist lifestyle, just aren't very interested in material goods beyond the minimum needed for comfort. It's like John Urschel driving the same used car since college - likely it's not "Must...be...disciplined...don't...look...at...Porsche", it's that driving a fancy-butt car wouldn't do anything for him, but he might buy a fancy-butt high end espresso machine 'cuz he likes coffee. Milano probably doesn't care what's on the walls or enjoy fine wood furniture. 1 1

Key points below:] My favorite vignette from the article: "He was raised a Jets fan, and coincidentally, across the street from a family of Bills fans [the Drys] Dan Dry played running back at Canisius College in the early 1980s, and he and his wife, Tammy, the daughter of former Golden Griffins coach Tom Hersey, have six children, including three boys, all older than Matt and his brother, Michael. Matt’s tenacity was evident when he was a small child. “These kids were all bigger than him,” Dan Dry said. “He’d get thrown around, go home and cry, and he’d come back and roll around with them some more. They were always out there playing basketball and street hockey or football. And mainly football in our front yard.” That’s where, each Sunday, the Drys placed a gigantic Buffalo Bills “Bubba” lawn ornament, a cartoonish inflatable player crouched in a three-point stance, staring at the Milanos' house across the street. ? 3 1

Material things are exactly that:Material! I just find it refreshing that a young man like Milano is keeping life simple right now. Ok, he probably has a car he likes and a Keurig, but the main focus may be football and simplicity. Sometimes less is more. 5 minutes ago, Boca BIlls said: I dont feel it requires any dicipline... it is just the way that person is. I only need my TV, Computer, Bed that is it.
