    God Bless Sully

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    I get a kick on the constant and almost weekly threads devoted to Sullivan. for years now. And no doubt he reads them and loves it.

     

    He is not the first and won't be the last columnist to have this writng style. Why? because it drives people nuts, sells papers, and generates clicks.but more importantly for him it is a source of income. for the few that "refuse" to read his stuff I can say this you are in the minority. Why? a LOT of fans know he is right. A lot of fans like the controversy he generates with almost every article he prints. A lot of fans dislike him but read his stuff all the time. then they start silly threads and unknowingly promote his dribble.

     

    I can care less either way. I read his stuff like most people. A few years ago maybe as far back as Trent Edwards. Sullivan was tweeting from the booth at the Ralph during games. I followed him too see what he would put out there.I will say this about his gameday tweets back then. And I have no idea if he still does it. But Sulivan was as big of a Bills homer as any of the hall of fame homers who grace this board. He was positive and rooted big time for his team the Buffaloy yBills. it was a stark contrast to his BN articles.

     

    Among others using this writing style.Maybe he stole his routine from a guy named Joel Selvin. who was a San Francisco music critic. He was one of the first too make a good living chitting on people mainly rock musicans. their shows, their albums they always sucked. He was hated but on page 1 of the entertainment section every day. Today he is a best selling author. I take Sullivan for exactly what he is entertainment writng for a small city rag.

    I expect no less than 10 more sully threads till this season of pain mercifully ends after week 17. I am sure Sully thanks all of the people that contribute to his legacy. For the record I may read his dribble I never said I agree. I am amazed watching men on a message board get their panty's in a wad over a opinion writer. But give medicore talent like Whaley a pass year after year. And brag about all the talent on the roster that Whaley brought in. There are threads on either page 1 oe 2 on this forum right now that accurately name this talent/players. in reality it is not as good as it looks like on paper. The teams record every year prove it.Oops forgot the Bills are the only team in the NFL that deal with the injury bug excuse.

    Let it go. the guy in regards to the Bills on the field play is right way more than he is wrong. Is he disliked on OBD? nope he is effin hated there and he knows it. are his takes on owners, coaches, etc. sometmes spiteful? yep because he is a douche and knows how to piss people off. Because that's how he earns his paychecks.

    Fwiw, Selvin just published a great book on Altamont.

    Old school. Pizza and wings from Tim and Bonnie's in Springville. Extra sauce, cheese, pep, banana peppers,lightly well done. Wings half hot, half charpit BBQ. Bills on ch4, GB/JAX as the go to game during timeouts, laptop open to fantasy team with another tab open to OAK/NO radio broadcast to listen to my favorite PBP guy, Greg Papa-Raiders. Yes, I'm a geek.

    Shame on VIC

    You can't change the facts from the ground. 16 years. Just think about what was going on with you and the world then. Is Vic a victim of the present day negative BN tone? No doubt. But as a poster said in this thread, until they win it won't change. Is it lazy to shoot fish in a barrel when the team seems destined for mediocrity. Yes and no. Truth and time shows everything. Here's hoping they prove everyone, including me, wrong.

    Hard Knocks - Rams

    It really was boring this year. Gurley and Keenum seem cool but I wound up caring about no one else. HBO did a nice job, again. Not a lot of material to work with when the #1 pick plays himself onto the inactives list for week 1. Btw- I'm dismayed at home these guys went through college but seem clueless. Team full of idiots.

    Belichick is the villain Bills fans love to hate

    I love the guy and won't apologize for it.

     

    He is a phenomenal coach. He is professional acting, well-prepared and all business (other than his attire).

     

    I love his press conferences and if I was a Pats fan, I'd love all the wins, too.

     

    I'm jealous. We've got a bona fide !@#$ing clown as a HC with a "cool" truck, "entertaining" pressers and "funny" commercials.

     

    And we've got losses to show for it.

     

    Having Belichick, or someone like him, as a HC is dream for me. Frankly, anyone disagreeing is full of schit, in denial and jealous, if you ask me.

     

    Go Bills!

     

     

    +1000

     

    Everyone needs to get past the hate. He's the best ever. Deal with it. I'm sure all the haters would sign off on him as the Bills HC tomorrow. He's not a pompous clown, he just wins again and again. He'll win again this season too. Can't say that for chump we have.
