Lawson tweeted about Fromm couldn’t be his teammate and that he had to check Josh Allen when he first came to Buffalo because of some of Allen’s earlier comments while he was still in college. I wonder how many other Bills’ players share Lawson’s sentiments. Really...College?

He was a kid quoting hip hop lyrics and Modern Family. Ill-advised given the subject matter? Sure. Racist at all? Nope. A white person quoting hip hop lyrics can be dangerous territory for us. 1

Right! He should have leaked it himself before last college season. He would have been a Stars n Bars hero at Georgia! Dude, a QB has to have much better “timing”

Don’t put anything in writing for any reason that you don’t want to defend to a college admissions board, a potential employer, or something you’re grandparents would be embarrassed you wrote. It’s that simple. I like to think that I’m a moral and decent human being who treats everyone fair, but even so, I do not have any social media accounts. I just don’t want people knowing my life. No snap, insta whatever, and I only had a Facebook account at one point to schedule a seat for spinning classes at my gym. I post nothing. If I want to talk to someone or they want to talk to me, they can call, text, or email me. I guess this forum is my only social media, and do my best to only discuss football except this social issue. I don’t necessarily condone it, but can understand the Bills cutting Fromm simply to send a message to players and employees that you’re words have consequences. I don’t expect they do it as they would have done it already, and as Lorax said, maybe something good comes from this with mercy, but at a price he improves his behavior. I don’t know what’s in his heart, but all people, especially the young, need to learn to at least sound right, especially in writing. Then, hopefully in time they can learn to UNDERSTAND and BELIEVE what’s obviously right and understand how just “joking around” about stuff that isn’t funny but IS deeply hurtful is wrong. Let’s face it, kids are stupid. I know I was, but not in that way. I have said that I have no regrets in my life other than the times where I hurt others, knowingly or unknowingly. The rest are not regrets, they are mistakes I learned from, but no one else should feel the pain of my life lessons. As they say, if you have to fake it till you make it, it’s a start....then you have to keep going until you arrive in a better place.

GreggTX Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 I wish we had accomplished half of what Miami did in FA. They signed multiple very good players. We signed a bunch of backups. Their defense will be much improved. We'll have the highest paid bench in the NFL. Also, the Dolphins are a well coached team. I think Shaq's best years are still ahead of him. 2

Somehow folks don’t realize you can’t sign a bunch of decent starters in FA when you already have decent starters. We also didn’t draft a QB! Can u believe it!! 1
Tipster19 Posted June 8, 2020 Author Posted June 8, 2020 “20K of ice.” That was Shaw’s response after he left the locker room the day he had that dust up with Fournet. Also several of the players, including Shaq, matter of fact he spearheaded it, went to a jeweler’s almost immediately when the Bills went to Houston for the play-offs. Jordan Phillips was 1 of the several. The Bills lost and neither Lawson or Phillips are on the team anymore. I wonder if they weren’t a cultural fit despite their production during the season and if that had as much as anything else for not retaining either of them. Everybody has priorities and I wonder if theirs’ weren’t matching up with Beane/McDermott’s.
