Are you serious? My definition of being a "good fan" is being in your freaking seat to watch the game. Pacing around the concourse is what my Mom does at baseball games. It's not what a real sports fan does.
Have you been to the stadium? It's designed so you can watch the game from various viewing platforms while hanging at the bar. It's really cool actually. I watched a drive from one while I was ordering beer. I don't know the exact number of areas that are like this, but I'll guess there's about 50 areas, with four of them being very large that can accomodate hundreds of people.
So no, it's not a bunch of people wandering the concourse.
-
The game was a sellout. A lot of people socialize in the concourses and hit dozens of new bars, viewing platforms, etc. All of those places have views of the game. Just because people aren't in their seat doesn't team they're not passionate or not there. The "Atlanta is a bad sports town" story is stale and frankly not accurate.

What they said. White pants with those red jerseys would look great.
I'm fine with red once in a while, but wear white pants next time.
White pants not only would have saved us color blind folk a whole lot of frustration, but they would look like the old Patriots uniforms, that I love. (It's so appropriate that I hate the evil empire unis they have since they have become just that)

Per NFL network.

Trading any of our QBs for RG3 would be the dumbest trade of all time.
I'd trade meh for RG3 in a heartbeat.
-
It's fun to watch everyone speculate. IMO, this is really about them still not knowing who the QB is and deciding to give EJ a shot. The idea that they're having EJ play so they don't show their cards with the actual starter running the show is crazy. New QBs, new system, new coaches... If the starter had been decided he'd be playing the majority of the snaps this weekend. The benefit of practice reps far outweigh the element of surprise for one game.

Pay him
What he said.

Bump. Thanks!

It's funny how people don't let facts get in the way of their prejudices. The guy had done nothing but try to make the Bills viable and people invent conspiracies to vilify him. It actually makes me a little ill.
Where does it end? Here it's Brandon. On SabreSpace it's Battista. We can't enjoy anything. There always has to be a conspiracy. God, give it a rest.
Exactly.

👍Yoga.
and breath
its the posting that drive us old farts nuts.
do we have a picture tweet with him having a few beers to compare notes ?
No.
because he is a PotHead !
Hey!
Don't be.
got a lot of dialogue from this subject.
Interesting poll via opinion.
never take this place too serious. when you frame it around your children you have made it a personal thing for you.
Its just a media blip for most in this fast paced age of interconnectivity.
Honestly i thought the picture turned out a poor choice. But i am willing to bet it was not meant as any flaunting.
As our Kids will do we hope/help them learn. I bet he has no idea the possible spin from such a picture.
As proven out here.
; )

If he is getting stoned and watching nba playoffs hit me up Sammy. My kind of party. Wooo
If it's hookah then the OP is beyond hilarious with his message to the kids angle. If it was Garth Brooks instead of hip hop playing would it be better for the kids ? 10 sec vid let's all go nutso!
I thought long and hard about how to respond to this. Many layers here. All I can say is I'm a parent and I wouldn't want my kid watching that. I guess it's a matter of perspective, and it's subjective to a degree.
I don't understand the folks that can completely dismiss this as a non-issue, but I respect your opinion. Clearly it's worth discussing or we wouldn't have so much chatter on the subject.
?
Come on. I feel like this is just piling on. I know what a blunt is. It doesn't look like a friggin cigar. It looks likes a fat paper joint. Just stop.
Apologies for starting this tread.
-
to be fair, some of their confusion may be coming from your referring to marijuana hookah/bongs. if it was a video of him smoking a cigar would you be arguing they cant tell the difference between a legal cigar and a marijuana cigar?
I've never smoked marijuana out of a cigar.
-
this. I don't understand why this is even a thread.
You're right. My bad. Sorry for wasting your time.

Isn't this off topic? I thought this was a Bills board, not a Sabres board.I commented this to someone who called out Sammy on FB for setting a bad example for kids. It's kind of funny because Jack Eichel had a clip put out on social media of him clearly drunk and downing another beer and saying "I'm coming for you, Buffalo!" Eichel is 18, or maybe recently turned 19. Haven't heard much if anything about that, though hockey is obviously not as popular mainstream as the NFL. But Sammy is 22 I believe, so he can legally smoke tobacco and drink beer and it shouldn't be a big deal. The people who think this sets a bad example for kids are the ones who don't realize how perceptive children are and likely view them as somewhat mindless sponges that don't have the ability to think for themselves.
Let's not turn this into Hookahgate.
Kidding. It's a fair point. FWIW, the Eichel video is a problem too. I'm guessing there were plenty of people who thought it sent the wrong message.
I guess I'm just old. I think smoking of any kind is bad for people, and I hate to see someone that is looked up to glorifying unhealthy behavior.
And, I have two young kids, so I know they can think on their own. If they saw this video, they would think he was doing drugs because young kids clearly won't be able to tell the difference between a legal hookah hit and a marijuana hookah/bong. One of the kids owns a Sammy Watkins jersey, so yeah, it sends the wrong message.

In this case, its definitely bad. Players get suspended for smoking weed. I personally have no issues with weed, but we're not the NFL. And even if he's not smoking weed, it looks like he might be, and the old crusty guys are definitely going to be ordered up a random drug test on Sammy. He was dumb to bring that attention on himself.No it didn't. The early posts here were suggesting Sammy was smoking pot and that's somehow bad.
My point was that you'd be amazed at how many guys in the NFL, despite being elite athletes who rely on well developed cardio-vascular systems for a living, smoke pot.
And for the record, a hookah does not look anything like a water bong or anything close to it.
The guy's been busted for weed before. This brings attention to him, and possibly a drug test from the NFL to make SURE it's not weed. That's why we should give a ****. On the chance that smoked a little weed lately, this hookah post could trigger some testing events that could result in discipline.Hookah pipes you can smoke flavored tobacco out of it, in fact there are many bars and lounges that will sell it to you like that as it makes for a good smoke. It's more than likely it's that. Even if it's weed who gives a **** as long as he isn't driving.

I think you'd be surprised. Out of curiousity - how old are you? I don't mean it as a knock but it's a pretty common activity among young generations. It's legal, in moderation it's no risk.... If a kids getting into weed (is that the concern? Or cigarettes?) odds are he's familiar with what hookah is.
I'm in my 30's. And I've actually tried it. It's fine. It's the perception of what he's doing, not the reality of it, that concerns me. (It looks like a weed bong incase that wasn't clear about my opinion)
i dont care what they do i dont need it flaunted
heck i m blitzd right now! purple crush
Lol

It still isn't the athlete's problem (without sounding harsh). If they are not breaking any rules and are in their homes I don't see the problem. This is much less of a concern to me than the fight that they were in at the bar a few weeks ago. In the social media age kids see a lot more bad stuff than 20 years ago.
Agree. I just wish he wouldn't have put it out there on social media.
.When I see a thread like this on this message board it reminds me that many grown men are strangely infatuated with professional athletes' lives in the way that many women are with real housewives or the bachelor.
You couldn't be more off on this one, but I see what you're doing here.
-
If kids are taking their messages from NFL players we are in trouble.
I agree, but there are so many kids without a strong family support structure that see this kind of stuff and run with it.
i don't know... Seems ok to me. He's sitting at home doing something legal. He's in excellent shape so I doubt he does it a lot. But it's much better than smoking pot, drinking/driving, etc. Things you can actually get in trouble for. Seems like he's not doing anything wrong. As long as kids know what it is (if they are old enough to be on social media they probably do) I guess it's fine.
That's the key for me. If everyone knows what that is, it's fine. But most don't.

Oh sure, a puff off a hookah today, heroin addict tomorrow!
It's the slippery slope my friend!
Soon after that, child slavery trafficking!
(Just kidding).
Uh, said what?
your response implied that someone was saying we need to get rid of players that smoke.
So nobody in the "no big deal" camp thinks this sends the wrong message to kids?
-
Ha ha. Some of these comments are priceless.
If we eliminate every elite athlete in the NFL who routinely lights up, there won't be an NFL left.
LOL.
Nobody actually said that.

All of this. I’ve been doing the ATL/BUF game trip for 20 years, and the one time I flew out on that Sunday PM flight it was really tight. You should be okay if you follow the advise above. Be ready to walk out of the game the moment the clock hits zero. I’d even watch the last min or two from the tunnel.
