BeastMode54 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 For all of you who have a facebook page, I added Donte about 3 months ago. He actually seems to check the thing retty often. Yesterday he started a video blog where you can send him questions and he said he would try to answer about 20 of them. Next week he said he's gonna have James Hardy over to be on the blog, and he would have various other teammates and friends. I just thought it was cool that he is making himself so available to the fans. He seems like a genuine person and a hardworker as opposed to a lot of the players out there today. People should check it out. In addition, he said on his blog today that his shoulder has been cleared for offseason workouts, so he'll definitely be ready to go by minicamp.

Yeah, I saw his video blog posts. It's really cool what he's doing. I gotta think of a question to send to his inbox. After watching the vids, he seems like a genuinely nice guy.
The Tomcat Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Just sent him a friend request... TBD needs a facebook page
BeastMode54 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 I asked him 3 questions: 1) Regardless of money and FA status, which defensive player in the league would you like added to the roster? 2) Are there any players in this years upcoming draft that you would like to see the Bills pick? and I can't remember the 3rd

Ask him if he plans to step up his game next year (on the field).
destro32 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Ask him if he still has Sammy Morris's footprint in his forhead!!
BuckyFillUps Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Ask him if he has any more wortheless guarantees to deficate this offseason.
BeastMode54 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 wow, did I underestimate the hate for Donte Whitner on this board
DrDawkinstein Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 haha, the video updates from today are ridiculous. poor guy has nothing else to do in the offseason. i give him a lot of credit. he even says in the first video "even if you hate me, send me a question and ill answer it" not many players subject themselves to the mob. good for him.
ieatcrayonz Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 wow, did I underestimate the hate for Donte Whitner on this board Have him ask Hardy what kind of gun he used when he allegedly tried to kill his father.
BeastMode54 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 What is all this hatred for the guy. He seems to be a decent dude. I thought it was a nice gesture to reach out and interact with the fans. Guess I should have kept it to myself.

I thought it was a nice gesture to reach out and interact with the fans. Guess I should have kept it to myself. There are so many freakin wet blankets on these boards. Certain people just approach everything related to the Bills with negativity and I suspect many of them have forgotten that football is supposed to be a fun thing.

Guess I should have kept it to myself. I'm sure he's a decent dude, but I could care less if the Bills had decent dudes. I'd rather have 22 !@#$s that win championships, than 22 nice guys that finish 7-9 three seasons in a row. I hope he brings something to his game this year, and leads this team to the promise land.
BeastMode54 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 I agree, my post had nothing to do with football really. This is a board of supposed Bills fans, and I thought it was a cool thing he was doing. When I shared the info it was met with a lot of negativity. As far as the Bills are concerned, I wouldn't mind a bunch of baby eating monsters out there. I just posted this to let people know that he was doing the whole blog thing.
KD in CA Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Ask him if he has any more wortheless guarantees to deficate this offseason. Ask him how often he deals with complete morons who B word about where he was taken in the draft.
The Big Cat Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 3 more Facebook video blogs today. He answers questions from Bills fans and muses about Red Lobster while eating their fried shrimp.
Dan Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 3 more Facebook video blogs today. He answers questions from Bills fans and muses about Red Lobster while eating their fried shrimp. Anyway to see these videos or Q/As for those of us not facebooked?
Shanahan's Horseshoe Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Ask him how often he deals with complete morons who B word about where he was taken in the draft. A better way to ask that question is, does he think his play has justified where he was selected in the draft?
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 A better way to ask that question is, does he think his play has justified where he was selected in the draft? If his play never justifies his draft placement, then that's the FO's fault, not Whitner's.
berndogg Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 If his play never justifies his draft placement, then that's the FO's fault, not Whitner's. Exactly. I hate when people get mad at a player for not living up to his draft position (not to mention the fact that there are 9 million different theories on exactly what justifies a player's draft position). Especially if its a player that works his hardest. Was donte supposed to do say "i appreciate the offer guys, but I'm second round talent, pick up an O lineman and call me in 30 picks or so".
