BillsGuyInMalta Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 buddy, i'm the one who wrote the story that "moved." i knew it was coming because i had just filed it to the AP desk before starting this thread. jw Psh...you and your "logic". That has no place here!
Red Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Click a link, you're sounding stupid. ok, from Forbes.com: "Bills LB DiGiorgio to miss season with knee injury By JOHN WAWROW , 07.25.09, 11:44 AM EDT PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills linebacker John DiGiorgio will miss the season after having surgery to repair bone damage in his right knee. His agent, Chris Murray, told The Associated Press on Saturday that DiGiorgio had surgery two weeks ago in Vail, Colo. Murray said the surgery went well, but that DiGiorgio isn't expected to be fully healthy until January. Coach Dick Jauron declined to comment on DiGiorgio and said the team will make an announcement later. Signed by Buffalo in 2006 as an undrafted free agent out of Saginaw Valley State, DiGiorgio appeared in six games before tearing a ligament in his right knee last season. His best year came in 2007, when he started 14 games." I don't read where he was waived.
SKOOBY Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Psh...you and your "logic". That has no place here! LOL.

Beerball Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Pretty tough to pass a physical and get paid if you cannot play before camp. Too bad the league doesn't have some type of reserve status for guys who are injured. I don't know what they'll do with him, but if you do you should show your source.
Red Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Pretty tough to pass a physical and get paid if you cannot play before camp. Well, that thing in the NFL called IR or PUP kinda sways me a little. That, and the whole Jauron refused to comment and the team will make an announcement later too. Every one just needs to calm down.
Mark Vader Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 If this is true, why waive him, why not just put him on IR?
SKOOBY Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 If this is true, why waive him, why not just put him on IR? Do guys get paid on IR?? Why would we pay a edge player / LB if he is out this season?? We tossed better players to the curb before and they spent all the time at camp as well.
The Dean Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 LB John DiGiorgio has been Waived/Failed Physical. Why must you continue to post lies? WTF is wrong with you?
SKOOBY Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Why must you continue to post lies? WTF is wrong with you? I read it elsewhere but common sense would force you to ask the basic question of why would we pay a borderline back-up a salary before he even gets to camp?? If he got hurt in camp and was under contract, he gets paid. What happens if he makes the IR or PUP ?? Does he get paid ?? Think about it and let me know if you know the rules / how it works, until then your post is worthless (as well as you).
Red Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Do guys get paid on IR?? Why would we pay a edge player / LB if he is out this season?? We tossed better players to the curb before and they spent all the time at camp as well. so you are speculating that he will be waived and not placed on IR, etc. why don't we all just take a collective sigh, and wait for the Bills to make their announcement on his status later today?

Think about it and let me know if you know the rules / how it works, until then your post is worthless (as well as you). Was he under contract? Was his injury football related? Can you waive an injured player without compensation?

Are you on the front office payroll? Since the obvious answer would be "NO", can you stop with the personal insults?
sullim4 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Why must you continue to post lies? WTF is wrong with you? The better question is - why is SKOOBY still here? We tossed better players posters to the curb before...
Mark Vader Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Do guys get paid on IR?? Why would we pay a edge player / LB if he is out this season?? We tossed better players to the curb before and they spent all the time at camp as well. Better players? DiGiorgio has proven to be a reliable LB, not to mention a top Special Teams player. He probably would still get paid on IR, but I doubt his contract would break the Bills bank. Why would we want to get rid of him? If there's a chance that he can come back and play next year, then I am fine with putting him on IR.
Beerball Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Was in fact waived. What is it about injured LBs? We toss 'em to the curb... & SKOOB...no apologies forthcoming from this corner.
LynchMob23 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 As much hate as Skooby gets for things...he's right on in this case: DiGiorgio waived; Hardy and Hawthorne to PUP
Stussy109 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 buddy, i'm the one who wrote the story that "moved." i knew it was coming because i had just filed it to the AP desk before starting this thread. jw People are retarded, don't worry bout em.
Dan Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 technically and also professionally, it would be wrong for me to break news anywhere but the company that employs me, so ... but i thought i might give you heads up. jw Thanks for the initial "heads up". Although, if you really want to have some fun, you should PM Skoobs the scoop and let him post it. No one would believe him anyway. Seriously, its posters of your stature that make this board the great place that it is.
The Dean Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 I read it elsewhere Where? Got a link? You have posted lie after lie on this board. Why you haven't been banned for it is beyond me. Your post didn't speculate that you thought they might waive him, you posted this: LB John DiGiorgio has been Waived/Failed Physical. That's not a guess, not an opinion. You posted it as something that has been done. This isn't the first time you have done this. Again, WTF is wrong with you?
