I don't see how anyone here is comparing what Vick did to anyone else. Cows and hunting are you kidding me? This guy had dogs secured to rape racks had them tortured with electricity and even had some of their teeth surgically removed. Mind you this was over an extended period of time not a one time random event. Anyone who thinks what Vick did wasnt totally inhumane really needs to watch the episode of dogtown where they rehabilitated 22 of the dogs rescued from Vicks compound. there is nothing even remotely similar between livestock, hunting and what this scumbag did. For the record yes I am against animal testing/torture and inhumane slaughterhouses as well. And as far as animal fighting being accepted in other parts of the world well lets just say the age of consent in the phillipines is 12 now how would you feel if that was your daughter or son for that matter would it be acceptable because its legal halfway across the world?

Well since its starting to take this direction Travis better start getting ready to be treated like Bobby Brown and no I don't mean the singer. If you have no idea what I'm talking about you must not be from San Berdino.

I agree with this post I work in a medical retail setting with three 20 something year olds and they always call things gay. I told them yall better be careful with that as the wrong person might hear it someday. About 6 months ago a regional vp overheard one of them say this and had them written up. It was just a written warning as the vp is a younger guy and understood but none the less deemed it not appropriate. Well two months ago a paitient who is homosexual overheard this same person using this term and he wrote a letter to corporate as he was made to feel insulted and uncomfortable. Final warning termination with no chance for unemployment. I guess I'm of two thought patterns here. Homosexuals use the term gay pride. If indeed it was homosexuals who coined the term gay in this reference they should take no offense to it. Or if someone who was straight coined the term gay for homosexuals, a word which at its root means happy. Makes you wonder if this person was unhappy and searching eh?

Not a fan really Lori? I am a bit surprised by this well hopefully your not a non fan either.

I believe you are referring to Marvcus Patton.

Thanks for the edit Dog the Marshawn you just mentioned is who I believe he is. I think he needs to realize that playtime is over. I am truly hoping that while there is a bit of a target on his back he will see the crap he is dealing with is the result of his poor decisions not this said target. I think rather I know Marshawn is a good kid making poor decisions however if he continues to make these decisions it is only going to belittle a career that has potential to be something truly great. That would be a true shame and waste as well as a slap to a Bills fanbase that has been slapped around quite a bit lately.

Finally I get it you don't really care what we call Fred do you? It would appear that you are more concerned with slamming Lynch. All good but as a Bills fan I truly wonder if Lynch walks the straight and narrow will you still look for reasons to slam him? His dreads, his teeth or maybe his baggy jeans and multicolored jacket. As far as the nickname I could truly care less as long as we never have to call him traction Jackson. Nicknames are GAH anyway.

Thank goodness cause that would just be wrong and maybe even disturbing.

Of course Marshawn has a target on his back all famous people do for various reasons and with various results. Thats the price of fame and fortune. You are correct I speculate what Marshawn meant just as it is your opinion that "Head" is a lousy nickname neither of our points are fact they are opinion. I just think if Fred doesnt have a problem with the nickname why should anyone else? Marshawn is young and has made some mistakes true but has anything he has done really been that horrible? Do you not hope he gets his head screwed on right? I do, I believe that if he figures out how to make adult rather than idiotic childish decisions he will be a top back in the league. As Bills fans we should all hope for this. I love Fred he is smart and plays his donkey off, many here believe he is a better back than Marshawn. Reality is in my opinion Marshawn has the skill set to be a top running back in the NFL, Fred doesnt. While this is my opinion I promise you every NFL front office would agree with it. My opinion on Action Jackson as a nickname cliche and quite cheese filled.

And on what would you base Marshawn having a big head? Without an example you are just spewing meaningless words. I see no reason why you would say Marshawn has an ego that is any more inflated than the majority of NFL players. I think Marshawn coined the nickname Head because look at Fred he isnt the biggest or fastest guy out there but he gets the job done. IMO and it would appear in Marshawns Fred has above average football smarts. I for one would agree with that statement.

I hear alot of people calling this kid slow however I saw nothing in games last year or within the scouting clips that back up this claim. He did run poorly at the combine but many have said that was a fluke that was corrected by the pro day. Can anyone provide me evidence other than opinion on why people are calling him slow?

I like the Maybin pick as well projects well as a olb situational de. He should have returned to Penn very true yet if he had he would have been a top five pick next year. I for one am hoping we arent picking that early thus I will take the gamble that this kid has infinite upside. I am happy with this draft so far.

Don't try to talk reason here are you crazy? You should be cursing every move we make. This kid is going to develop into one of the top safeties in the league. His toughness and ball skills are that good. I guess I won't let all the negativity here get me down as more than half the people complaining about this kid think we picked him as a corner. Since they didn't even get the fact of which position we picked him for why should we give any credence to what they may think anyway?

Good point, however if you will recall Peters tore up his groin pretty bad at the end of 07 an injury which if severe enough can cause a permenent loss of explosivness and core strength. Based on his play in 08 I would say this might have been the case although we won't know for sure untill he shows up in shape for otas and either reverts to all pro level or continues to regress. I for one don't blame the FO for wanting to make sure this was the same all pro as in 07 before the injury before coughing up the loot.

Thats it I'm sick of this we need to run winter out of town it shouldnt be that hard.

As do I my friend As do I.

Peters would not have been one of our best players as he didnt want to be here. Kinda like a trophy wife who wont sleep with you looks good in pictures but pretty useless when the time comes to tango. Maybe he will actually let the Eagles utilize his wares however he will have to show that he has the desire if he doesnt the Eagles just got plucked.

I'm not sure if he is or isnt under contract however he did work out with the team after the signing of Stroud he showed at workouts so I guess it isn't clear if he's holding out or not however I do know staying away isn't the path to being paid by the Bills.

I thought Freddie was smarter than this. The Bills couldnt have made any clearer that if you want a new contract come prove it. Does he deserve a raise sure but holding out isnt the way to go about it. I didnt hear him complaining about collecting a check on our practice squad without other teams being interested in him.

TO is a single man and a millionaire at that. Think about it Buffalo is a great city but it is blue collar and quite limited as to the mix of culture and ethnicity that you will see in Toronto. Toronto is the fifth largest city in North America. As far as things to do and opportunity its like comparing little league to the pros. One is a great city with some fun to be had the other is a world class city with a very large selection of entertainment options. And comparing the woman of these two cities well lets just say if I were a single millionaire I would rather spend my time in Toronto as well.

Thats awesome that your a bills fan. I've never been much of an Idol worshipper but none the less thats bad Azz that Stone Cold is a Bills fan. Being a musician I've met many of the stars whose music I admire and it was almost always just like talking to anyone else except that the common ground of music always made conversation easy. The two exceptions to this were when I met Neil Peart and Thurman Thomas I was so in awe of these two men that it was all I could do to muster two words. Thank You. As far as TE goes I think he's a humble kid who really wants to be the best player he can be. This is why I think he and TO are going to work out well together.

Or if perhaps the most likely extenuating circumstance that his reaction time was diminished because he was intoxicated. I wonder if you would be so willing to forgive if it were your family member that was killed.

I do agree with this and I have certainly made many mistakes in my life some of them I have faced harsh consequences for others I got lucky on, however I never killed anyone. I do agree we need the facts before we crucify this guy and I was basing my statement on the facts being presented in this story being true. I know people take traffic oriented crimes a little less harsh than premeditated crimes and I don't think Donte intended to hurt anyone but poor judgement on his part cost someone their life (assuming he was DWI and indeed hit this person). It is a very slippery slope not to prosecute someone because they didnt mean to do it or grew up underprivilaged. I do know this fact for sure alot of people underestimate that when you are driving a car you are in control of a potentially deadly weapon. I really think his poor judgement and irresponsible decision making had severe consequences and for that he must pay the piper. Like the old song says don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

For real? he broke the law in it looks like two areas DWI and it looks like failure to obey a traffic device and someone is dead. Thats not a mistake its a crime and the consequences for these actions should be dire. Just because alot of people do this it doesnt change a crime to a mistake. I just pray to God that you're not a cop or a judge.

I would say he gets 1200 even with a 4 game suspension. He is an amazing runner in the open field and I expect with Evans and Owens theres gonna be alot more open field.
