lets_go_bills Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I've been away from my computer for about 24 hours. I'm glad I wasn't here for that, it sounds ridiculous. So while I never got to see the thread, I must say this is a board for Bills fans to discuss football, not a tabloid to create insane rumors. I'm glad the thread starter is banned.

cåblelady Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 There was a rumor that he had died and it spread through the bills message boards rather quickly. It was deemed false after about an hour and a few thousand views/replies. The original message has been deleted here. I just got home from a winery tour on Seneca Lake. I heard the rumor THERE this afternoon. Couldn't wait to get home and log on here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsWatch Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Trust Mead to set our priorities straight. Thanks for making me smile. I needed that. When it happened I checked other sources (I am still editor of Topix which has direct news source from multiple feeds) and told that the poster's source was wrong but I did not go onto other boards to track source Lori. It was definitely originating elsewhere before 10:15 but in a forum where anyone registered can post news not a legitimate news source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 13 bottles. 13? A strange number. Did you tap yourself out at 13? Or was there another reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 To answer the last couple of questions, the thread here was started at 10:15 Friday evening. Sounds like it was elsewhere on the Web slightly before that, but I'm not sure by how much. Most people were of the "oh no, I hope this isn't true" mind, with more than a few shots at the thread starter. Tim Graham was told by the Bills front office that it was "totally false," posting the news here at 10:58 p.m., with John Wawrow confirming (and shredding the original poster) shortly thereafter. And if I ever cross paths with the guy who did this, we WILL need an R.I.P. thread. Think that about covers it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
