I hope if Smerlas tries to get into Buffalo politics, someone breaks out the tapes of his Boston radio tirades against Buffalo. He regularly insulted the city, the people, etc. As far as I'm concerned, Fred is a classless POS.
But yes, I can understand why you would use him. I just wish you had some other, more rational, ex-players to quote. I have a feeling Fred isn't very representative of former Bills. But then again, I might be wrong.
