Dwight Drane Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 You have repeatedly shown yourself to be pretty racist and although I think it's backward, I support your right to think what you will. I see no reason why your choice of religion should be out-of-bounds when you seem to have no problem judging others based on things that are not their choice. My point is.....I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH TAKING HEAT!!! If I am going to dish it, I will take it. When certain posters chime in with insults because they have no shot at taking me down with logic or original humor...I see it for what it is. No big deal.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I dont live in the WNY area so I may be wrong but dont Bills players keep their addresses private? I mean if I where an athlete I would be unlisted in the phone book to keep my private life private. I would be more worried about how someone knew where I lived. Maybe I'm wrong? Are there Bills players that have made reference to their homes? I dont see many players doing this IMO
DaBills51 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 "It wasn't quite the public wrath lashed out at Scott Norwood after his famous wide right miss at the end of Super Bowl XXV. But bitter Buffalo Bills fans did go too far Monday night when they spraypainted an obscenity on the lawn of kick returner Leodis McKelvin in the town of Hamburg, just outside Buffalo." - Mike Zeisberger http://www.torontosun.com/sports/football/...928426-sun.html Correct me if im wrong, but I recall Bills fans chanting for Scott Norwood and bringing him to tears at City Hall after Super Bowl XXV...or is that just my imagination. Here is the link to video of that....but it may be a fake like the moon landing video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c21xzRcd2Uo
buffaloaggie Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I saw this on SI today. ---------------------------------------------------------- "On another note, Silver said he wasn't surprised that Bills fans vandalized Leodis McKelvin's house. Silver said when he writes negative things about Buffalo, the team's fans threaten him." http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/danpatric...l#ixzz0RHxRBkRe I've read his stuff in the past. He had an axe to grind with A.J. Smith of the Chargers during the LT contract dispute. Let his personal bias get in the way of objective reporting in that case. Not a big fan of his.
Fan in San Diego Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 The bigger question is how can we communicate to Leodis that there are THOUSANDS of Bills fans that realize it's a game and support him completely? Send him flowers with a card.
buffaloboyinATL Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 If only there were a major event in less than a week scheduled to be attended by both thousands of Bills fans AND McLovin... That is very funny by the way.
thebandit27 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Comments? Slander, Threats, Accusations, Religious Biggotry.............. Spraypaint on a lawn with no threats or hate speech by 1 of 2 million fans in the Greater Niagara Region (Thanks Russ for coining that one!), after a guy making $20 million makes a decision a Pop Warner kid wouldn't make. Wow, way to make yourself the victim dude. As a side note, making a mistake at your job does not make it okay for someone to vandalize your property. Period. Have you ever made a mistake at your job? Does that mean I can do whatever I want to your personal property, even though it has absolutely no affect on my personal well-being or any other crucial facet of my life?
DC Tom Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 On this website alone...heck, on this thread alone....I have been slandered, accused of breaking the law, had my occupational livelyhood threatened, my Religion belittled, my mental ability and status mocked and degraded..... You really don't see the difference between this, and showing up at your bunker uninvited to vandalize it?
HurlyBurly51 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 This isn't about what they did, it's about the mindset of someone who takes the time to do this. As DCTom says it has a "rabbit in a stewpot" feel to it. No, it's about perspective. At the end of the day, these guys will probably end up with a small fine, I'm guessing on the order of $50. That's on the level of a parking ticket. Yet there are those who have jumped onto their moral high horse and doling out punishment on an order of magnitude reserved for the worst of the worst in society. You are seriously comparing a physical violation of someone's home with comments made on a message board? Someone was able to link in neo Nazi's with spray paint on a lawn, so why not?

Booster4324 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 might be amused to see some Bills fans quoted in this piece that just moved: AP: Bills CB McKelvin Willing to forgive and forget thanks, everyone. jw Thank you. That is a nice article and good job to the people in the story.

YellowLinesandArmadillos Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 might be amused to see some Bills fans quoted in this piece that just moved: AP: Bills CB McKelvin Willing to forgive and forget thanks, everyone. jw Nice article... and as a former Buffalonian and one always in spirit and addiction to Buffalo Sports, I like the sentiment expressed. Positive reinforcement of McKelven is a good thing. Despite the disconnect of the money he earns, he still is a young kid and I grew up where every knew each other and neighbors took care of each other.
Spun Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 The fumble speaks for itself. But the vandalism is a major not and a never. Keep the passion classy. Obviously, Bills fans don't feel good about the fumble and the loss but very few appreciate the vandalism.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 I dont know if this was posted already (I'll be the first to admit I didnt go and re-read the entire thread) but on BB.com they have a story about how local Bills fans are donating money to McKelvin's favorite charity. Thought it was a very nice gesture. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2009/09/16/r...s-fans-step-up/
