BeastMode54 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I understand that he has caused A LOT of problems with other teams. But veterans who have established themselves with great conditioning and work ethic do not always regularly attend these workouts. I guarantee he shows up at some point. He really gets attention for a bunch of nothing sometimes. It has been referenced on ESPN TV and radio ALL day. With interviews from Trent and the ESPN announcers. He really is a lightning rod for everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of his past behavior, everything he does is going to be scrutinized much more than anybody else. It's only going to get worse. He has spent a career making his bed, he has no choice but to sleep in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardFan Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Why is this a bad thing? Buffalo is typically ignored in the media. If they send their cameras to show who is not there at least you can watch the rest of the team at practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endzone Animal Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 When the Bills go 4-12 it will feel nice to still be talked about nationally while TO melts down on a daily basis. Time to enjoy what he was brought here for! TMZ Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really is a lightning rod for everything  ....and that's why Brandon signed him in the first place. ESPN cameras are in Buffalo videoing his team and his training center and his quarterback on the first day of off season voluntary workouts?! And that's on a day that T.O. doesn't show up. Imagine all the press conferences from now until the end of the Bills season, live on ESPN and the other major networks, that will feature that ragin' Buffalo behind the speaker - Brandon and the inner circle jerks are lovin' it.

UpstateSwagger Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I love the way the national media is talking to you upstate New York -- weak Talladega Nights reference, I know. Â But seriously, this is great. We are guaranteed to have every story blown out of proportion all year. It's like the complete opposite of what we're notoriously about. Even if we suck, we will get more attention than the last 10 years combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazedandConfused Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I know this post may not fit the air tight thinking which informed the other indictments in this thread, but are there any reports as to where TO is. I know this is all about fact-free opinions but I am curious what the facts are regarding this situation. Â Its hard to tell what the facts are from press reports as there actually are relatively few facts to report. This is not an excused absence as actually no one even needs an excuse not to attend this voluntary workout. In fact what we do know from press reports is that actually only 40 players were in for these voluntary workouts. Â The total roster is probably below 80 as rookies will be added, but even with many of the stars here apparently it is amusing to see some folks get exercised over TO joining 25-30 other Bills in being no-shows. Â I doubt that TO already had a long scheduled visit to see a dying child in his hospital bed, but as he just got traded to the Bills it does not surprise me that he is not here. Â Without more real facts this is such a non-story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has spent a career making his bed, he has no choice but to sleep in it. Correct....we should expect nothing less from the media. Even if TO is on his best behavior all year long, ESPN will still have their cameras pointed at Orchard Park. This is only the beginning, folks.

The bicker Bills got a lot of media attention also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
