So far, the 2015 Bills have brought us:
A foul-mouthed, larger-than-life head coach with an affinity for the female foot. A RB who stiffed a minimum wage waitress so badly that even Charlie Sheen felt bad, implied in an interview that his former coach was a bigot, and openly advertised creepy "females only" parties. An OG whose bullying scandal became national headlines and promptly bashed his own Ferrari with a bat out of frustration. A WR voted "the most hated player" in the locker room. A position coach who was the Deep Throat in Cutlergate, punched a teenager over a dispute regarding a chair, and then allegedly threatened to whack his family over said chair. And now, a LB who sucker-punched his own quarterback, shattering his jaw, and causing him to miss six weeks.
Yeah, players shouldn't be breaking the jaws of their own quarterbacks. But it does appear he was provoked.
And, yeah, not manning up and explaining or apologizing for a ridiculous racially-charged accusation shows a serious lack of character. AND the party thing was creepy, especially when you can get all the "females" you want. But the dude is a top 3 RB. His Hulk Hogan diss was also epic.
SO...didn't we have another band of misfits in the 90s? As I didn't follow the Bills during the Super Bowl years as much as I do now, how does that team compare in terms of anti-social behavior? I'm betting it's similar -- especially considering it was during the infancy stage of the Internet and way before social media.
What about it? Were they similar?
We all know we're in for an entertaining year after two years of Marrone Ball. But I also think we're on the precipice of finally having a playoff team ... largely due to this cast of characters -- and the new owner, of course -- and the mean streak they bring.
Sit back and enjoy the ride.
