1billsfan Posted September 9, 2005 Author Posted September 9, 2005 I don't think it was Peter King, it was reputed to be Dr. Z with the statement about Losman. I've read the SI article. It wasn't Dr. Z either. It was in a statement made by an unnamed opposing coach who said that the reports out of Tulane claimed Losman was too cocky and not well liked. So this has grown to a rumor on top of a rumor from unattributed sources concerning a state of affairs that MAY have existed two years ago when JP was still in college. 435268[/snapback] Peter King said it on the Mike and Mad Dog show (WFAN in NYC) this afternoon. Telling me I was wrong is pretty cocky fella.
LabattBlue Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 ...is not a popular guy in the locker room. Apparently too cocky for some of the players. 435229[/snapback] I'm not sure why this type of info is newsworthy or would surprise anyone. I'm sure there are cliques in every locker room and there are players who rarely speak to each other. I'm not saying it's to the level of TO & McNabb, but I'm sure it exists. To think that in order to be successful, teams must have 53 players who hold hands and sing kumbaya is far fetched. All the HC needs to do, is keep it from getting out of control like what is happening in Philly.
JoeF Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 ...is not a popular guy in the locker room. 435229[/snapback] Could be a cleanliness thing....maybe personal hygiene and grooming...I mean if I had hair--I wouldn't wear a mop like that. A pro athlete being cocky and possibly not liked by all his teammates...pick me up off the floor. One reminder--arguably our best QB in the post Kelly era (not saying much) was a short, evil, sub-plotting little madman who wore the same number as JP.
stuckincincy Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Heh. When I ever I hear that guy's name, I remember the 2-time All-Pro FB Jim Nance from the AFL Boston Patriots. One tough hombre, folks. Set Stratton, Jacobs, and Tracey on their fannies a number of times, for several years. What a fine ballplayer he was...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 By the way, Nance played for Syracuse in college. He was a Pat (and later a Jet) in the NFL. And his listed hometown is Indiana, PA. 435285[/snapback] You sure you're not talking about this guy? http://www.footballcardgallery.com/1970+Kelloggs/8 I have no idea what CBS broadcaster Jim Nance's background is. But from the interviews I've seen of him (e.g., on Leno once), he's more interested in doing golf and the Winter Olympics than NFL Football. Thus, I would never take his predictions--which are probably hand-fed to him by someone else--seriously.

Kelly the Dog Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 My bad. Thanks for the correction. 435334[/snapback] Jim Nance of the Pats and Orangemen was a HUGE bruising black guy.
Sound_n_Fury Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 All this talk about JP's unpopularity make me think of the old campfire story analogy--the same damn "arrogant" comments from the 2004 draft keeps getting passed around from reporter to reporter to TV host etc., and none of these guys have ever come to training camp, talked to any Bills players, or done a shread of background work to see if it's true. Thank God we'll have real football games to talk about after Sunday.
buckeyemike Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Here's the Jim Nantz (note spelling) we're looking for. He is from New Jersey, and went to the University of Houston. Mike
HopsGuy Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Here's the Jim Nantz (note spelling) we're looking for. He is from New Jersey, and went to the University of Houston. Mike 435341[/snapback] Note that he was still 26 while announcing Jack Nicklaus' 6th victory at Augusta.
kasper13 Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I wiped up stuff more important than Jim Nantz off of my bathroom floor this AM. Who gives a crap what he thinks about anything? My hooker's pimp said that the Bills are going to win by 17 on Sunday. That's just as credible of a prediction.
AJ1 Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Peter King said it on the Mike and Mad Dog show (WFAN in NYC) this afternoon. Telling me I was wrong is pretty cocky fella. 435288[/snapback] Looks like he was repeating drivel and using the SI column as a source. Which I think is entirely possible in his case( I don't respect his work ).
BufSol34 Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Nance should go back to Nagano and cover some more Ice Dancing. Football analysts by law should be straight men or hot women...for those who might have been out in the sun to long this summer, Nance is neither.
losman Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Good the bills need a QB with firey attitude.
Nanker Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 My bad. Thanks for the correction. 435334[/snapback] Well, he is a personal friend of the Senior President Bush, AND he knows a lot about golf. You could have said THAT about him and been all right.
