(*you'll see a Diggs & Dane mention for attending the softball event). Certainly noticing a growing number of Bills fans in and around the Pittsburgh suburbs, great to see 😁 2 1 2 Quote
Solomon Grundy Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Diggs flew from Paris to Pittsburgh to attend his teammates event!! Still a bad teammate? 1 Quote
wppete Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Great event, good to see. this should bring knowledge to a lot of people. Hopefully it helps…… Unfortunately Damar is a long shot to make this team and it worries me it would be a massive distraction if the Bills let him go. The media would go nuts. There is way too much competition at Safety and unfortunately he is an average backup at the position. 1 1 Quote
Gregg Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Hamlin was doing the same thing at Yankee Stadium last week. It was a nice event. I think he even threw out the first pitch as well. Quote

Expand I totally understand what you mean because he already has achieved fame due to the injury itself. The comeback story isn't perfect if he doesn't come back to actually play NFL football is a possible narrative yes. I hope that people in general will get a grip and realize the bigger picture From all I know of Damar Hamlin dude is thankful for even being alive . AND in possession of a huge endowment fund to spend and do good for the people of WNY and the world NFL football vs being a Great philanthropist and businessman. I almost hope he doesn't make the team. What is in store for him moving forward to me is so much more impactful and important than he playing in the NFL. . He is so young and already seems to have his business and humanitarian hats on straight. And In not saying he shouldn't play if he indeed earns that roster spot in camp. Suffice it to say I think he himself will make whatever decision happens be "Right" Either way. 3 Quote

(I'm in the North suburbs). I know a few other posters here are from PGH area. We need a TBD Pittsburgh branch Great to see what Hamiln has been doing. The U Pitt to Bills defensive backfield connection is strong at this point with Hamlin and Jackson. 1 Quote

His kids grew up in Fox Chapel which I believe is a suburb Northeast of Pittsburg. Although his four boys grew up there, they have remained diehard Bills fans their entire lives.

He is a great person the more you learn about him but the NFL is a ruthless business. I just hope the best for everyone. 1 Quote

Great area/community. 😁, yeah definitely need a PGH branch. We used to have a Bills backers in Cranberry, met at NPL...but that was a long while back, not sure if anyone is doing that nowadays. Great point about the Buffalo and Pitt connection. McDermott definitely has a trust with Narduzzi and the Pitt staff; especially defensive guys. Not a Pitt fan per say, but nice to see some success for their program in recent years. 1 Quote

Expand Yea it is messed up but football is a ruthless business, they have to give him every opportunity to make the team and if he doesn’t they have to let him go and try and make a roster somewhere else….. let’s not forget he was a very late round draft pick and played because of injuries at safety. And he didn’t play well when he had his opportunity…. Wishing him all the best though, would be a great comeback story. 1 Quote
