Andre Reed looks like the slumlord who takes advantage of the youth but thinks he's supporting them only to be killed by a 15 year old running drugs for him.
All because he said "Maybe later, bro." Priceless.

Yea. That's it. I mean I could tell you stories about Jim Kelly being an ####### too. I've actually met these people. I also complimented two guys in that story. I've also met Bruce, Ruben Brown, John Holceck, Stevie Johnson, Fred, Moulds. I've been lucky enough to meet a lot of guys and most have been great. I've never had interactions like I did with Jim and I've never had someone like Leonard Smith call him out for being a dick to me.
But yea you're probably right. Lol his own teammate went at him for me. But please continue. Clown.
Grow thicker skin. These player's lives are dictated by fans 24/7. The minute they think they have a moment alone they are invariably approached by fans. Think of it from their perspective for once. Yeah, they made a bunch of money and got fame and glory, but they also completely gave up the ability to walk down the street like normal or go to a restaurant and have a quiet meal. Constant invasion of privacy. Constant appeals for autographs.
So yeah, it would get old. And yeah, there would be moments where you wouldn't want to deal with it and would rather just postpone it for later. Some guys are awesome and gracious all the time, and that's great, but some guys are a little more normal and don't want it all the time.

I thought I was lucky enough to meet him. It wasn't planned, it was after Bills vs Pat's week 2 of Rex's first year. I was lucky or unlucky enough to get invited to this post game there. Jim, Thurman, and he was there. So was some lesser known players, I also saw like Eric wood who was a great guy and a couple other players as they were leaving. It was not me approaching the players after the game, it was the people who got me in.
Anyways I used to always rock an andre Jersey because being born in 89 and just naturally liking the wr position. He was the guy. I've got a Kelly, Thurman, tasker Jersey from that time period, but Reed was the one who I bought in 09. A throwback because I was like he's retired he made his name here. I was hoping he'd make the hall of fame. Well fast forward to that day, I'm at the same post game party and everyone's like you gotta get his autograph and I'm like no I'm gonna let the dude just live.
So after 2 hours he's been just standing by himself for a minute texting, I got a pen not even a ***** sharpie to ruin this $120 Jersey properly. I come up to him, because again I just didnt want to bother the guy. He has his gay ass gold jacket on. I go to him, I'm really young to be an andre fan, Rex's first year I'm like 25. I go up to him and I say, I'm sorry to bother you, but I'd really appreciate it if you signed my Jersey. Doesn't look up at me and in hindsight I think it might have been a flip phone still, just stays looking at his phone and says na maybe later bro.
I walk away and Leonard Smith was there, and I'm younger so I don't really remember Leonard Smith. And Leonard just pulls me aside and was like was he an ####### bro? And he probably could tell from my age and just general disposition. I wasn't like crying but it was more anger. Leonard asked me twice like was he an #######? I'm like yea man he was an #######. Leonard talked to me for a minute he's a great guy. Ended up with the signature but the Jersey has remained at the bottom of the dirty clothes since then.
The only consolation I get out of them losing those superbowls is that that ####### lost them all. He's a piece of *****.
Sorry for the rant, I'm in a bad place lol, but everything i say is truth. If someone called me and said Leonard Smith needed something I'd be there. He's a great dude.
Holy cow. You're the biggest baby I've ever heard of. You are bent out of shape because he said "Nah, maybe later?" THAT'S what has you ranting on message boards about him?

The team just fixed the cap and now you want them to F it up with ridiculous contracts like that?
Let it all play out. Let him finish his rookie contract WITH the 5th year option and then pay him like normal. And if he walks, he walks. McDermott's proven specialty is the secondary. We'll never have to worry about it.

Has there ever been a bigger self-promoter than Andre Reed? Jesus Christ. This guy BEGS to be relevant.
You'd think a Bills fan would support the most decorated WR in franchise history. He worked hard to get where he is.

Explains why they were in the final 4. They must have been doing this all along.

I'd want Jets home or away. Itching to see Allen vs Darnold again.

I like it alright. At least they used lightning bolts and stars for a reason. It's part of the flag, even though I didn't know that till now.

and yet we were a 7 seed in this for some reason...
They went by the number of Twitter followers to seed the teams.

How are the titans even past 16? I have never met a titans fan in my life. What are they all hackers?
Could have had a lot of fans from other teams voting.

Yeah figured we would... when their proudest moment is tweeting the "Miracle" incessantly. Furthermore, I have never seen a random Titans' fan jersey outside of their home games.
They must have had a lot of fans from other teams voting for them to beat specific opponents.

No its not. No one on that defense was even trying on that play. It was a poor effort by a pouting football team
I don't know how you can watch both plays and pretend Allen's was clearly better. Pretty homerific of you.
But I hope Josh Allen wins.

66% to 34%. We're killing them.

Titans in final four? Is this an April fools thing???
Sometimes I forget they exist.

Did they start voting for the next round?

Wow, Henry's play is way better, but I still voted for Josh Allen.

wth is with all the Barkley bashing? The guy is a True Beast! 352 touches (run& rec), 2028 TYps, 5.8 Ypp, 15 TDs ZERO fumbles, Pro Bowl starter, League ROY -for those with short memories. Is this type of production NOT what you could expect from #2 overall? How does this immediate payoff vs years of scrutinizing a QB hopeful make Gettleman an idiot? That’s better than our two 1st Pick, HOF RBs rookie seasons combined! If they do Draft a stud DL at 6, how is this not what any team would appreciate from their GM?
Tough crowd...
Running backs don't move the needle in the wins column like a QB does. This is obvious, because despite having a pro bowl, sensational rookie at the position they are picking top 6 yet again.
I don't think anyone is bashing Barkley. He did his job and is obviously talented. They are bashing the decision to pass on a QB, which is an infinitely more important position.

They're most certainly not guessing. They composite a power index based on data and set the numbers accordingly. Of course teams will outperform/under perform those metrics every year. They're not just throwing random numbers around. Too much cash involved.
Obviously they are making educated guesses, but those guesses aren't based on how they view teams will perform, they are based on how they believe fans will bet. The general fan will not have a good opinion of the Bills, even though the Bills, for those who follow the team, appear to have gotten better and signs point to more than 6 wins.
This is different than last year. Most who followed the Bills expected a down year last season. 6 wins was spot on.

you have tabulated every single prediction they have made and determined they were wrong that often? i think you are just pulling that out of your behind based on one or two things you "recalled."
Vegas isn't out to be "accurate", it is out to make $$$ and it does this quite quite well...
I didn't recall anything. I've looked at their predictions over the past few years and saw many instances where they were multiple games off.
What you say is true. The want to make money. They don't care about wins and losses. Their lines are made according to general fan sentiment, not on how many games they think teams will win or lose.
-
Just now, row_33 said:
yeah okay.... LOL....
Are you disputing that? Look at their predictions from every single year and you will find they were dead wrong about a lot of teams. Every single year. The idea that Vegas is accurate is wrong.
Doesn't mean that fans are more accurate, though. Nobody is accurate.

We have the "Offended by Vegas predictions" thread every year. If you were outraged by last season's low win prediction and made a wager, you lost.
Just walk away. Sportsbooks are built on exploiting homerism.
And the year before you made good money. They guess just like everyone else.

Do you have some examples of how horrible I am? I feel like I'm pretty fair most of the time.
I don't doubt it at all, but the story of him telling a fan "Maybe later" doesn't seem like some horrible hate crime to me. I am sure there are plenty of stories of him being a big jerk, but the one in this thread seems very, very mild.
