Every time I would see Gilligan start to screw up, I would get an almost physical reaction. I would see him lined up to do something really stupid, or inept, and it would make me squirm. I hated watching that show, but I couldn't tear my eyes away. Nate Peterman. excellent analogy. Thanks goodness for The Professor and the Movie Star here on Gilligan's Isle ! ba dum dum and now i am singing the theme song nice work Rocky : )

Fortunately, they walked away (well after they should have). I don’t care what happens to him but I do think that it’s BS that he keeps getting chances that more deserving players don’t. It bothers me that people still defend him. I don’t remember anyone that wanted Brohm, Hamdan, Brown or every other scrub QB to get another chance so badly. It’s such a “Billsy” mentality in a lot of ways. We always love the lovable underdog and resent the blue chippers. It is the oddest insecurity complex and Peterman, in many ways, was the poster boy for it. There were people that LEGITIMATELY wanted that guy to start. Give me stars and wins. It doesn’t matter if a guy was an undrafted FA out of NW Central Idaho State that bagged groceries or if he was the top recruit in the country that started at Alabama. I don’t gravitate towards one vs. the other because one feels more “Buffalo.” Maybe it is just me but the whole “lunch pail” mentality doesn’t matter. The ONLY thing that matters to me in player evaluation is “does this guy improve the Bills chances of winning?” In the case of Nathan Peterman, that answer was unequivocally no. Lunch pail does not go well with wine and cheese. And the only way he improves ANY team is by giving their DBs practice and catching interceptions. I do not support him being on any roster but if he is I assume the coach, however self deluded, believes he has characteristics which are correctable making him worthy of a roster spot. That coach has a job and any coach who is still willing to work is more qualified for evaluation than anyone who watches film from home. And no it is not "Billsy" - that is a term for those who like kicking the Bills when they are down.

He is competing for a job. If he earns a position then he earns a position. If he doesn't earn a position then he doesn't earn a position. I don't understand why that would bother you so much? We don't need to continue going around in circles on this issue. It will play out one way or another. 1

(Cartoon, not Rosie O'Donnell) Now that’s funny. When I was in college I was given the nickname Bam Bam, and when I met my wife, turns out her college nickname was Pebbles. It’s all about the Flinstones. Great watching when I was a little kid. 22 minutes ago, Limeaid said: I think you mean Mary Ann unless you are talking about Br*dy.

When McDermott thought playing him was a good idea, I had an issue. It turns out, despite his qualifications, many of us were right and he was wrong. Maybe “Billsy” isn’t the perfect term for what I was getting at but we all know that insecure Buffalo mentality. We don’t see it quite as much since the Pegula’s took over but we still see it. This underlying fear that “we aren’t good enough to have what everyone else has so we cling to the next tier to justify our place.” We love a guy like Fred Jackson (and he’s one of my favorites) but let’s not kid ourselves, he’s not Zeke. We love the hard-working overachievers. We put Phil Hansen on the Wall of Fame but not Cornelius Bennett. That’s just craziness to me.

If he keeps getting paid good for him. It makes no difference to me. It’s the pity that he gets that rubs me the wrong way. He has made $1,046,169 to play like he has. He will make another $645,000 if he makes the team this year. There is no reason to feel sorry for him. If I could make $500,000 a year, to be worse at my job than any else ever, sign me up.

You may not believe it but he will be judged on his performance. If it is good enough he will make the roster. If it is not good enough he will not make the roster. Stop haranguing him.

Mary Anne over Ginger by a mile. Ellie May over Mary Anne; Samantha Stevens over Ellie May (ya know... if she weren't married), and Jeannie, without question, number #1.
