  1. A list I found online regarding Vick's record with the police:

     

    # Weed/marijuana hidden in the bottom of a water bottle at the Miami airport.

    #

    Drug raids at a house he owned (which lead to fed finding a... )

    #

    Dog fighting ring and animal cruelty towards 60 dogs in a house he owned.

    #

    Settled a lawsuit filed by a former girlfriend who said he knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted disease.

    #

    Vick surrounded himself with unsavory associates, two with criminal records for drug trafficking.

    #

    Two friends of Vick pocketed someone's fancy watch at the Atlanta airport, the watch's owner said a Falcons executive offered him money to keep Vick's name out of a police report.

     

    add of course last this latest nonsense. Seems pretty habitual to me.

     

    He's just a victim in all of this. Ask him, he'll tell you so.

  2. I don't think anyone has a problem with differing opinions. We're simply not your psychotherapist helping you cope with your depression.

     

    This is the second thread you've started about people not listening to you. We're going to have to start charging you $150 an hour soon.

  3. Oh the irony of this topic! The pessimists are heard constantly. What's changed is that not everyone is pessimistic like them. So they get a victim complex because people don't agree with them.

    ^this. It's not that the pessimist's aren't being heard. It's that their worst fear is actually true. They were heard and like mommy and daddy, no one cared.

     

    We'd rather be fans and enjoy the Bills, win or lose, then constantly gripe about all the negatives.

  4. A good friend of mine got a DUI and swore off drinking when he drives somewhere, not even a single beer kind of thing. And this is a guy who really enjoys to have a drink with his friends...to this day, I have never seen him ever violate that despite being around people drinking it up when he has had to drive there. Why...because he has a lot to lose if he drinks and gets pulled over and its not worth it...doesnt keep him from watching football with us at the bar when he has driven there despite others drinking.

     

    I like when people make incredible logical leaps that their 'friend' is just like someone else.

  5. I think people are expecting miracles from Gailey. These are people who *want* failure so they can have another reason to explain why they are miserable...like 'WOMEN DRIVERS' or 'DAMN LIBERALS/CONSERVATIVES'. If they don't have such a reason than they have to evaluate other areas of life. These are not 'Bills Fans', these are people who need an external stimulation in life and if the team is losing, they have a harder time coping with their daily lives. 'Fans' by their nature, want their team to win, but are 'fans' regardless.

     

     

     

    Anyways, I don't expect Gailey/Nix to turn this team into a powerhouse. I expect them to restore credibility to the organization. The reason I wanted Cowher is not because I thought he'd win a Superbowl, but that he'd instill a football culture and bring contacts to the team so they have the resources to hire better personnel.

     

    The problem with Levy as a GM is he didn't know anybody. He didn't have a reserve of talent to call on to coach the team or help with personnel decisions.

     

    If Nix/Gailey can manage to make the Bills a legitimate team again then mission accomplished. Otherwise, it's Raider town.

  6. It doesn't matter if the guy showed up uninvited. Vick had a party where:

     

    1) Firearms were allowed

    2) Someone got shot

     

    Vick makes bad decisions (I'd say his decisions *on* the football field are actually worse as he's a terrible player). He made another poor decision. I think it's obvious that he's still associating with a crowd that thinks taking firearms to a Birthday party is a good idea and that the best way to remove an uninvited guest is to get the Police there as quickly as possible by shooting him.

  7. That is the last comment of Lynch's is the article; isn't this more telling than anything else in the article--the guy likes football, think that liking the Jets is going to make him play less hard against them??

     

    I'll believe it when I see it. It seems that so far he has not responded well when facing a difficult challenge. Hopefully, this is the turnaround for him.

  8. I'd say about 9 out of 10 young, inexperienced QBs have those porblems trying to transition to the pros. The biggest problem with JP was he had a horrible coaching staff, that drafted a kid that everyone said would take a few years to develop because he was raw. Then they gave him 1 year and expected greatness.

     

    I was on the same boat for JP, but he hasn't improved since then and even if was 'ruined' by the coaching staff...he's had enough time to get over it. He didn't exactly look like a world beater in the UFL.

  9. I'm surprised no one suggested we sign LT.

    I think the guy has some left in the tank. He'd at least be a leader in the clubhouse, he's been a winner before and we need that. His off the field troubles don't matter as long as her performs on Sunday and helps teach all those new guys we have on defense a thing or two about FOOTBALL. That other crap doesn't matter. There are guys who have done way worse than him. We haven't even heard his side of the story and the Bills need talent. We know how bad they are that all other things must be compromised for a playoff birth. If you're not will to see a guy like this on the Bills so we can WIN then you should stop being a Bills fan.
