IndyJay1234 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I hope Donte understands there are 32 teams, and HE does not have to be a Bills player. Until he completes his contract he sure does. And when free agency hits.... He much like several other talented before him will be a Former Bill.
profile Posted December 11, 2008 Author Posted December 11, 2008 Ok... it's been nearly 4 days now since the Toronto game, and I'll admit I was a bit harsh on the Walker name calling in my OP, but in my defense that frickin Toronto game had me more pissed off than I have ever been, and I was seeing red. I really only took offense to the comment about the reporter trying to dig up dirt to sell papers, and my point being that if you win some games, that would sell more papers, and that reporters would much rather cover a win than a loss. I still feel really cheated as a fan of the Bills with the game they selected this year to be played in TO, since the Miami game has been a tradition in my family since I was at least 6. Now that I live out of state, I still travel to WNY for almost every contest against the dolphags, and this year my pilgrimage game was ripped from me. For what? Greed. My angry initial post had nothing to do with the loss, or even the fact The Bills are not going to play a post season game this year, or the slide. I was, and still am if I start to think about it very torqued about the Bills having to play a game in Toronto, and visibly be the away team. It was shameful, sad, and an utter failure. I never intended to question Walker's loyalty or integrity as a player, but at the moment did not like his statement, and I make no apologies for an athlete who was deflecting. I've said it in another thread, and I'll add it here - RALPH!! Give back the 58.5 million dollars for the remaining 6 games on this disgusting failure of a deal, and bring those games back to the fans in WNY!!! You don't need the money, and you can't take it with you. God knows you really didn't need it any way.
Joe Miner Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 These kind of comparisons get thrown around a lot here. "If I were a ____ and I only did my job correctly _____ out of every _______times, I'd get canned!" You know what the difference is between playing pro football and most other jobs??? In those other jobs, people aren't directly trying to prevent you from doing your job! If every accountant had 31 other accountants trying to make sure he didn't do his job correctly, he wouldn't be as good! Why do people think this is a legit comparison? [sarcasm] What about gov't jobs? [/sarcasm]
Paup 1995MVP Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Sullivan and the paper are out of control when it comes to negativity and soon they'll probably be out of business. What is there positive to say about the state of this franchise seriously? Come on we suck bigtime. We have not been to the playoffs in nine years. That is horrific. Sullivan is the man. He calls it like he sees it. When the team plays well he is very positive. But as a columnist he is supposed to give his opinion. And I believe his opinion is similar to just about everyone's opinion on this Board about our team. We were 5-1. We are now 6-7. Our only win since the start against a team with ONE win. We have not come close to winning any of the seven losses except the Cleveland game. Our coaching and quarterbacking is among the worst in the league for the umpteenth year. The team plays with absolutely no emotion, and our defense while somewhat better than our putrid offense has almost no playmakers and can not stop a good offense. So what again is there to be positive about at this point in another lost season? And don't get me wrong friend, I love the Bills bigtime. But what Sullivan says is spot on.
