    You can feel however you want about Gronkosky, and his behavior. 

     

    But, you really can't blame people who are both fans of the game, and fans of the Bills for disliking a guy who took one of the cheapest, and dangerous after-the-whistle shots at a player as beloved as Tre White. Nonsense? If you're going to say that "It's laughable the lengths people go to be mad at Gronk," I might suggest that it's laughable the lengths you are going to excuse his behavior. "Heat of the moment mistake...???"  Watch the clip again. A "heat of the moment mistake" would imply that it wasn't an intentional attempt to cause injury to a player, with malice, who was face down on the ground, after the play.  Which it clearly was.

     

    What is nonsense is your snarky, blithe insults of anyone who disagrees with your position, and your straw-man arguments about Cronk's abilities.. Literally no one is suggesting that Gronkowsky isn't a talented player, perhaps with plenty left in the tank. But, this wasn't the Jarvis Landry hit on Aaron Williams (which you weirdly dismissed as "legal" -- he was flagged and fined for that hit). It is completely understandable that Bills fans would not excuse that egregious, late hit. There are Bills fans on this site who simply believe that there are lines that can't be crossed, be they in the "heat of the moment," or not. And for many, Gronkowsy's assault on Tre White crossed that line. You don't believe that line exists? Fine. Others do.

    I put that guy on ignore. He feels entitled to act all snooty and think he is the smartest guy in the room. smirking down his nose at people. Let him think it in a vacuum. He doesnt want a discussion don't give him one.

    In finding mister right
    You'll be alright tonight

  3. bbmb was a place where many out of staters kept up with their team the Bills. I chatted there off and on for years. The way the plug was pulled was super sudden and *****.  Posters dispersed and many are here. Im grateful for 2BD and have no desire to reminisce all that hard on the past. It was a glorious MESS at times Off the chain...filled with some great posters. Some no longer with us.

     

    RIP bbmb.

    When they sign Gronk and he apologizes (again) in his opening PC and talks about bringing a championship to his hometown and he and Tre do some co-branding promos together -

     

    are you guys still gonna come here and salt?

    I'll answer this. My take is probably some not very many. Bills fans are a resilient bunch. I personally wouldn't allow my dislike of him temper my love for the Team. I would trust that McBeane had the TEAMS best interests at heart. Period.  Would I celebrate if he caught the winning TD in a huge game?  What do you think? For me of course Im going to cheer a Bills victory. In the final analysis his contributions to OUR team will trump any lingering rancor from his past behavior. I just cant stand the guys schtick. I have that right.

     

    It doesnt change the fact that if all else being equal a lot of Bills fans find it abhorrent he would ever play football for the Bills, with his patriot stink and memories of his hit on Tre White as a part of his legacy.

     

    this message board is full of diehards and we all want to win an NFL championship. Lets not get all uppity like your opinion is sooo much more valid and "Right" than anyone elses.  One player on a TEAM.....I'll swallow my disgust. Happy Now Gronk supporters?

     

    smh

    I'll start performing for you when you start throwing me treats.

     

    Wipe my slate clean or acknowledge that I am the all-time scoring leader in TSW history.  :beer:

     

     

    Blah Blah Blah...........that's a lot of yapping to avoid making a simple, ordered list.

    what's good for the goose is good for the gander. You cant be bothered to back up your own smack but fully  expect others to. I would call that...whats the word......WEAK. You type as if you are some legend or something.. You Really DO  need to get over yourself. geez....

    Like I said.......NOTHING in there about not regretting the act......which he had already apologized for..........just being glad that he was disciplined for it.

     

    If your reading comprehension is that poor..........maybe you just can't do words.

     

     

    oh yes he sounds soooooo contrite in that statement..NOT ..sooo glad to be disciined...yeah selfishy....That further shows his character to me...If it was cherry picked to show him in a bad light there is that. But Please dont insult our collective intelligence by insinuating that what he said there showed even a tad of remorse towards that vicious hit.  If anything it was callous...reminds me of the reaction of that other scumbag who cheap shotted Aaron Williams.  Gronk is glad to have time to  allow his body to heal, not caring about the money what an ####### . I think the guy is an athletically gifted **** If Tre forgives him so be it. I'll never like seeing him in a Bills uniform.

    I think people need to understand the version of Gronk we are pursuing. As he has gotten older one of two things happened, maybe even both. He has matured or he understands his previous persona doesn't age well. If you listen to interviews last year this was a much more refined Gronk. I would also have to think Tre and other Bills would be supportive of the move if the front office is. It's not like we have a history of spending on poor teammates.

     

    As Bills fans we don't like him for a lot of reasons, that said does he help us win? Yes. Will he be a distraction/juvenile type player we have seen in the past? No.

     

    Get it done  

    I dont necessarily agree with all you wrote but at least it offered some insight that adds to the discussion. I think  moving forward Gronk is inclined to do what will not hinder any future endorsements or acting/media/ Hollywood type opportunities that may come down his pike. I wonder if he even wants to still play football ...*shrugs**

    Ask Tre how he feels about it

    would not surprise me if he went with the program and  forgave and moved on. Tre White is nothing but a class act from everything Ive read or know about him.

     

    I do think this kind of signing would be very contested even within 1bd...this best be vetted Very carefully..YEP

     

    jmo

  11. very conflicted. This signing would be a test of my fandom tbh. Would I feel right cheering gronk, a player I have despised and had been a menace to our team?

     

    pfffft.  NO....I can hear the "but but but" chorus already........pfft part 2. blech

     

    lol im kinda stubborn. He is on my official **** list and I dont assign that to a player lightly just sayin'

    American media is manipulating us, with Ukrainian propaganda, into war. 
     

    This isn’t a game.  
     

    They could do the same to us with Yemen, Somalia or Ethiopia but they don’t benefit us or look like us.  
     

    Russia is obviously the aggressor.   Ukraine is a sovereign country being full scale invaded.  
     

    But our media and politicians are playing a dangerous game that will result in dead Americans… and then we’ll wonder why we didn’t learn anything from Iraq.  
     

    Some may think American sacrifice of life is worth it to stop this.  And i don’t particularly blame them.  But, again, this isn’t a game.  This isn’t a movie script.  And that’s what we’re being shown. 

    the script we are being shown is scary...very. It gives me much anxiety. To me it comes down to a question of who has the ultimate control over wether this conflict escalates to a WW3. For me that squarely lands in the hands of the despot putin. NOT a comforting thought. The fact that you think that our or any government can be played by the media scares me. I would hope our decision makers are more sensible and astutely smart as to allow that.  Especially knowing the worldwide dire consequences alleged*  Lord have Mercy.

    I see one person here advocating US military involvement in Ukraine and few people advocating for it in the media. 

     

    Turn down the hype machine. 

     

    I am a firm believer in the evils of the military industrial complex but ours and NATO's current position of restraint is firm. It may be tested by Russian actions in Ukraine and out of it. We will see. 

     

    What are you 12? Stop tagging people moran. 

     

    If you post something worthy of response, people will respond to it. 

    ahem why did You feel it necessary to name call someone Im calling That out. wtf.

  13.  

    You want me to act like we've never kissed
    You want me to forget (to forget)
    Pretend we've never met (never met)
    And I've tried and I've tried, but I haven't yet
    You walk by and I fall to pieces
     

  14. Don't you try to pretend
    It's my feeling we'll win in the end
    I won't harm you or touch your defenses
    Vanity, insecurity ah

    Don't you forget about me
    I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
    Going to take you apart
    I'll put us back together at heart, baby
