yall

Chiming in with everyone else just to say thank you and let you know what a great job you've done this summer.

It's not like we drafted him in the 1st or 2nd round. We needed more depth at receiver, and might have gotten some value. It looks like he had decent college numbers and was drafted roughly where he was expected to be drafted, so it wasn't exactly a reach pick. Also, if anyone really decided to read the entirety of the information that was presented in the article, they would have seen every Olympian that ever played in the league was listed along with their NFL accomplishments. Lastly, he was offensive MVP in an NCAA bowl game, so it's not like he has zero credentials. Might be best to just wait and see if he delivers in regular season before we get our collective panties in a bunch.

How did you burst his bubble? You didn't invalidate anything he said.

This. With 2 rookie quarterbacks playing an entire game, I would have expected more false starts, delay of game penalties, and just the occasion spot of confusion and/or bewilderment. The fact that there was virtually none of the above should speak to the preparedness of the players, which in turn is certainly reflective upon the coaching staff. Well done!

I might need to go check out that thread about Kolb being a surprise cut.

D overall has me happy. No question they are better. Still a lot of young guys and with that inevitable growing pains, but they seem more aggressive and play with the attacking style as advertised.

Can't wait to watch EJ and our young wide outs. Also looking forward to seeing D. Ideally we'll get something more than vanilla today.

Thanks man, nice job!

Would have been the highest profile athlete Williams ever pancaked.

Honestly, I wish the Bills and Sabres would hire me as their "off the record" tour guide. I'd have people jumping through hoops to sign here.

Even the 20 year-old version of me would rather spend 2.7 million on a palatial estate in Buffalo than on an apartment... well, anywhere.

Well, to be fair, EJ is guaranteed to get as many Super Bowls this year as Brady.

Great as with previous reports. Thanks!

Steel Magnolias 2: Petal to the Metal

Your reports (and Mikes) are the best thing about training camp. Keep 'em coming!

The media making mountains out of molehills (really, 2.5 days of contract negotiations is "something with this guy"? Really?) doesn't mean there is something out of the norm with an individual. It means he is high profile and writers, journalists, whatever are latching on to every little thing. It's always "something" only because people are making something out of it. When you have a microscope up someone's ass, every pollup looks like a big deal. Accusing the guy about whom you are manufacturing drama, of being a drama queen? Brilliant.

I can't for one second believe that any instructor, professor, or institution of any type would go easy on the requirements for an athlete. It would honestly make me begin to question the entire NCAA.

Since I'm optimistic about our chances, I'm going to consume less grain alcohol in the parking lot. I might actually want to remember a game or two this season.

Exactly. Argue the merit of tipping on take out all you want. He tipped.

This. I used to hear waitresses and hostesses in our restaurant (where I was also a waiter and bartender) complain about not getting tipped for literally doing nothing more than ringing someone out for a take out order. They didn't pack it up. They didn't take the order. They didn't cook the food. Meanwhile, they walked out every night with twice the money that the people in the kitchen made. Also, enough of these aholes posting about the most minor transgressions when a celebrity "slights" them.

Watch yerself mister...

Why did you stop at 13? surely he would have cracked sooner or later. In all seriousness I like your articles and your posts, but the last question seemed (and I emphasize seemed because I can't know your intentions) like it was meant to get a rise out of him.

Tylenol.

I see TG is an expert in the CBA now too (not). Claimed on Twitter that Players aren't allowed to seek 2nd opinions without club approval. Untrue. But hey, it's not like its his job to make sure he spouts out true things, just whatever happens to fit his narrative.

Is it me, or is that article penned in such a manner that it makes it seem like Marrone flipped out over 1 question?
