PNW_Bills_Fan Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Why is know one talking about how Spikes wanted out of Buffalo and how he was seeking a trade. I personally like the move. We get something for a guy that may or may not produce again. I just hate hearing the media bash the Bills for getting rid of a player that didn't want to be here because all his buddies we gone. WM- Didn't want to be here (not enough women folk) LFB- Didn't want to be here because he was disrespected by us not resigning him NC- Didn't want be here because we would pay him enough (not that he was worth the money) TS- Didn't want to be here because his friends were all gone and not enough women coming in and out of town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Why isn't this talked about I guess it's not that interesting to most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dib Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I guess it's not that interesting to most. I'm sorry, what? I was thinking about lint. Dont you guys get it? It's not about team loyalty anymore. You're not rooting for players you're rooting for the laundry. I only have 4 things to say about the situation- mer-cen-ar-ies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 It is not interesting that the Bills are building a team that wants to be in Buffalo vs cap casualties Not really. But then again there is not much these days to interest me in whiney, overpaid, disloyal athletes. Kind of tired of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluv Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Not really. But then again there is not much these days to interest me in whiney, overpaid, disloyal athletes. Kind of tired of them. There is no loyalty in football; from the team to the players to the fans! One year you're hot the next you are overpaid or too old. The players need to get the money while they can; ask Andre Reed or Travis Henry about loyalty from the team or the fans and see what they say! Bottom line just be loyal to your team and don't be flip flop teams each year like some do; players come and go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spun Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 It is possible that each of these players may have crested. And possibly through the draft and free agency a new wave may compensate for the losses. NC - money requested and paid was ridiculous. TS - great player, I am so glad he played for the Bills and he was worth it. The future is unknown. He can still produce. WM - grow up on someone else's dime. LFB - great, solid consistent effort, probably underappreciated, sorry about the bad feelings but then again there is the draft and free agency to provide new stars. I have faith in the Bills brain trust and anticipate a productive draft. Let this coach and GM pick their own people. It may work. Keep the positives and delete the others to the bulk folder.

Andre never: missed a team flight, picked up an under-age girl at a gas station, had a fumbling problem and failed multiple drug tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre was one of the hardest working athletes the Bills have ever seen. He left the league kicking and fighting. He was so competitive. He was so clutch especially in the comeback game against the Oilers. Put him in the Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Not really. But then again there is not much these days to interest me in whiney, overpaid, disloyal athletes. Kind of tired of them. The athletes are just as loyal to the teams as the teams are to the athletes...that is to say, they are loyal only if the other can do something for them.

drnykterstein Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Can you cross London off that list. If we did not want to sign him.. how can he want to be here? Play for us for free or something? No, another team gave him 5Mil/year, he is not a drooling retard, so he took it. Get London off your list, and out of your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Get London off your list, and out of your head. My advice? Get them all out of our collective heads and let's focus on the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that, but the teams keep it to themselves a bit more. Athletes come accross, to me anyway, as very, very immature and that it's all about them.

ganesh Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 1. Clements wanted to go to the highest bidder and he did not care if that was Buffalo or some other team 2. Fletcher also said he would go to the highest bidder since this would be his last contract. 3. Willis McGahee forced the Bills to a trade by requesting for an extension when he did not even crack the 1000 yard barrier 4. TKO wanted the Bills to trade him as there were no other Veterans around.... These guys have left the team for reasons other than playing on the field being the determining factor ....I don't understand why the Bills have to take the heat for all this....It is not as if we are releasing these guys...We have got decent compensation and we have put the money on the OL....The season will tell if the Bills had a successful off season or not.

Buffalo Wing Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 It's not being mentioned because it does not fit into the ESPN memo that requires Chris Mortensen, John Clayton, Mike Golic, et al to trash Buffalo whenever the opportunity arises.

RunTheBall Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I don't think it was much of a surprise that TKO was traded, and I highly doubt it had anything to do with whether TKO wanted the trade or not. Marv is too much of a high character guy to publicly dispute the claim that TKO wanted the trade. It smells like a face saving maneuver to me.

Kelly the Dog Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 If TKO didnt get injured he would still be here and playing. If Willis wasn't in the last year of his contract he would likely still be here. If Fletcher wasn't getting a little old, he would probably still be here. Clements we just simply werent going to pay what others would for him. He actually often said he liked Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
