actually talking opposite of timid. Perhaps entitled or egocentric would be more on the mark of what I’m talking. But I don’t recall the exact phrases used and they weren’t commonplace commentary. this was in the era of when Timmy was pulling moves like asking EJ if he thought the team should draft another qb then writing stories about how he didn’t take kindly to the question. So i never put toooooo much stock in it but simply remembered a few ego comments when stories like this come out a decade later.

For perspective though, I’ve got to point out Cunningham was drafted 5 years before EJ was even born. we are talking about not just a totally different league but also radically different pipeline that players are developing in at that point (ie EJ was going to qb camps that young Randall couldn’t imagine)

here we are watching him make excuses/share blame. I don’t recall but think it was Timmy g that made some comments during the super bowl week one year that EJ was a bit immature/not a leader. it’s water under the bridge at this point but I just remember being curious about it a few times because some of the quiet undertones along the way seemed counter to the much louder pristine reputation of being an older, 4 year starter, mature, humble guy. Made me wonder about who the man was behind the marketing campaign as we rarely know too much about these guys. he was already a guy with a ton of reps. At some point you aren’t going to radically change who you are.

and yet, he’s not been good at it when given opportunities some of y’all feel the need to not just watch the plane crash but the wreckage smolder before declaring the craft to not be airworthy

yup. If he were lighting it up he would have found his way back.

We did him no favors. that he continues to talk about it suggests he probably wasn’t doing himself many favors either who he was as a man behind the scenes always seemed an interesting story. We often heard the polished, mature story line but there were a few reports that suggested perhaps otherwise along the way.

proving ownership of the term would go a long way first. for all you know they could license it back to the guy to use for various charitable projects where they just get approval on design to ensure it meets buffalo bills standards. it makes sense they would want to own the right to branding associated with them. Who knows what will happen from here but they are 100% correct legally and morally to file the claim.

how would you feel if someone used a similar phrase derogatorily with the bills and/logo to sell Flags/towels to opposing fans at games? if the bills don’t protect it legally here they could lose the right to stop it there.

that’s patently a terrible standard a lot of fans here are thinking of the fun of when this goes right without realizing the bills can lose the right to protect themselves later when/if it goes wrong if they don’t step up. del could license the term from them for various endeavors but you can’t just steal the team name, or logo. He’s the one that’s created the issue, and put the bills in a lose-lose situation where they have to protect the brand but will look bad cause he’s just a good guy

To sell football gear? No.

the term bills would be the issue. if it were buffalo football mafia it’s a different issue. as a fan do you think you can coin phrases using the team name and profit off them?

Oh well? No big deal. This stuff isn’t abnormal. The saints went through it with “who dat” gear not long ago the bills have a brand to protect and profit from. They are obligated to protect it or lose protections in many cases. honestly I was surprised the bills didn’t do this sooner.

will the bills allow use of “bills-anything people want to come up with in association with the team” though?

if you don’t protect your trademarks you definitely risk them. Which could be a factor. also just because Reid is doing positive now doesn’t mean he or others always will. the optics are bad but the decision is sound and reasonable based on my limited knowledge of the situation.

Meh. Anyone stressing over his comments would be well served to take a deep breathe and let it go.

normally not one to get worked up about defense in today’s nfl but they really had nothing going for them tonight. undisciplined should at least be high intensity. To lazily blow assignments sucks. If you are playing at 110 miles an hour and at least you can create turnovers alongside the missed plays. if playing a finesse game you have to be much better in the reads

A little dramatic from Clowney there

I said what I said.

Way to jinx it. Jerk.

I think the comment blew up a bit more than needed. An owner saying he isn’t in charge of personnel decisions isn’t all that noteworthy. I’d be surprised if they ditch him this year unless they have the #1 pick which I dont think they will.

he’s also had issues with brandin cooks when he was a saint. And has a knack for talking when there’s really no need. granted he’s a great player. But he likes to let people know it even if it’s not in anyone’s best interest.

he’s contributed and been the spark in a lot of saints games. I wouldn’t pay him what they do but in a particular role he’s been a guy that does light their offense up in a night like this.

They had RB2, WR3, WR6, TE3 and TE4 as a package on a big play a couple drives ago. hes a really smart coach but sometimes out thinks himself

I believe MT seems to think cgj is insecure, and acts like a b*****

punched him, AGAIN. They fought last year too. MT also went ahead and tweeted that insecure men are acting like b******. Which was probably not appreciated.
