LynchMob23 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 We have - see Bledsoe, Drew and the insanity with his arrival (parade, pep rally, sacrificing of virgins...the usual)
BillsGuyInMalta Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Yeah come on Buffalo act like you've been there before. I actually felt that way after the Raiders game last year when we got to 3-0. The place was freaking out and screaming at Raiders fans like we had just won the Superbowl. "Hand the ball to the ref, Bills fan! Act like you've done this before!"
Matt in KC Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 While the key is over the top, I'm fine with Owens getting the media attention. Frankly, with a pretty young team we should be thrilled the media is focusing their attention here instead of asking Marshawn about his legal and league problems, Trent about his confidence and relationship with the coaches etc..
BillsGuyInMalta Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 On the plus side, the Bills mini-camp is going to make ESPN tonight. On the negative side, it'll all be about Owens as he parts the seas and ascends into football heaven.
djcalvin79 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 this is definitely going over the top.. but does it really affect the team in any way, negative or positive? i don't see how handing him the keys to the city changes how he plays on the field, which is what we are really concerned about
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 While the key is over the top, I'm fine with Owens getting the media attention. Frankly, with a pretty young team we should be thrilled the media is focusing their attention here instead of asking Marshawn about his legal and league problems, Trent about his confidence and relationship with the coaches etc.. ... or his bizarre fascination with Dakota Fanning.
buffaloaggie Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 Here's video for when he arrived: http://www.wgrz.com/video/default.aspx?mid...0c38d56050935d5 Dear God...this next year is going to be crazy. "Pure utter euphoria" and "the best feeling he's had in his entire life"...that last guy needs to get a life! I see the point in marketing the city, but what are we marketing? The Bills, hero worship, T.O., what??? The Mayor really doesn't have much to push, so I guess he's doing the best he can when the opportunity presents itself. It'll sell jerseys and bump up the interest in the team. It's a morale boost, but it'll help if it actually boosts their performance on the field. Nothing boosts morale like winning.
Sig1Hunter Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 "Pure utter euphoria" and "the best feeling he's had in his entire life"...that last guy needs to get a life! You mean the guy dressed up like a box of popcorn? Noooooooooooooo....
GOBILLS78 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Overreact much? Did we already forget how much attention this guy gets?
Beerball Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 VH1 cameras running, sportscenter etc. I can understand the politicians, they're whores. What boggles my mind is the fact that joe publix feels it is so important to get on TV. "Did you see me? Yeah, I was the douchebag dressed up as a popcorn box!!! Yeah!!! Wow!!!" Same goes for the asshats who sit behind the backstop at baseball games talkng on their cell phones. "Yeah, I'm right behind home plate." "Yeah, 10 rows up man!!!" "Hang on, let me wave to you!!!" "Well, the camera does add 25 pounds."
buffaloaggie Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 You mean the guy dressed up like a box of popcorn? Noooooooooooooo.... Exactly. I wonder if he's posts on here, would love to hear more about his crazy life
Guest dog14787 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 TO has been the best WR in the National Football League over the last decade, possibly the best WR that ever played the game and folks should be excited. We will enter into the new season with one of the best groups of WR's in the league. One of the best groups of RB's in the league and a QB that will know what to do with them. Win baby, just win
Wagon Circler Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 And this was at 11:30 at night? And the Jills were there? Absolutely insane. There hasn't been this much hype since we got Bledsoe. That one worked out.

Win baby, just win TO wants to change the way he is perceived by the public, he wants to change the way people will remember him years after he is gone. Its up to all of us to help him achieve his goals because TO can help us achieve ours. Allot hinges on how well TO performs here in Buffalo, for TO and the Buffalo Bills. We the fans, his fellow teammates and the whole Bills organization need to embrace him like a brother and prove to the whole Football Nation Terrell Owens and the Buffalo Bills are united in their efforts to succeed in bringing home a championship to the City of Buffalo. So from one big family of Bills fans scattered across NY and PA to you TO,we welcome you with open arms my brother
Max997 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Are you kidding? Come on Buffalo, just treat him like any other player on this team. I don't live in Buffalo, so I don't know who the last athlete was that got a key to the city. Is it just me, or is this overblown by the Mayor, giving T.O. a key to the city? To me, it's a joke. I think it should have stopped at a press conference. http://www.wgrz.com/sports/story.aspx?storyid=66878 i thought it was a little much as well....could be a PR move, maybe they are just trying to get the fans as fired up as possible
Endless Ike Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 What does the key open? The Key opens Byron Brown free TV time for his re-election campaign I'd say that I was suprised by this transparent ploy for publicity, but nothign suprises my about buffalo politics anymore
Lori Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 We have - see Bledsoe, Drew and the insanity with his arrival (parade, pep rally, sacrificing of virgins...the usual) Yeah. Don't tell T.O. about the marching band they had playing Bledsoe's college fight song, or he'll feel dissed.
In-A-Gadda-Levitre Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Here's video for when he arrived: http://www.wgrz.com/video/default.aspx?mid...0c38d56050935d5 Dear God...this next year is going to be crazy. I can't help but think this is gonna be great for the Bills. Screaming fans will energize TO because he feeds off it. Forget about the key to the city, and start thinking touchdown!
