The Senator

Yeah, I admit it - "petulant child" was a bit 'over-the-top'.

No, it wouldn't. Well, maybe it would - I'd throw in 'stupid', as well. Maybe 'ass hole' too. I take you're implying that I'd be cowering in fear - I wouldn't. FatBoy would have to catch me first, which he'd never be able to do while stuffing his face with McDonaldsFatBurgers. Hell, we all saw FatAss get dusted by much smaller 200 lb. Abram Elam, so I'm not too scared. You should practice what you preach, and engage that infinitesimally tiny piece of gray matter between your ears before shooting off your own mouth. You guarantee that my biggest interest is my pocketbook? Really? If your intent is to lecture me, or 'set me straight', go have yourself a big tall glass of STFU. I have walked away from far more lucrative opportunities to pursue a career in a field I enjoy, to do something I feel is more worthwhile than pursuing the almighty dollar. I've made enough money. Sure, like everyone else, I love to spend, and could always use more, and never have a problem finding ways to spend it - I could have continued to go after it in lieu of something more worthwhile that enriches me more spiritually than financially, but I choose not to. And, BTW, I frequently do give away my services - sacrificing time and the money I could earn from paying clients - to places like Buffalo Women's & Children's Hospital, the VA Hospital, and Roswell Park Cancer Institute, where I have the opportunity to see firsthand how gratifying it can be to provide some joy and comfort to folks who really need some help and some hope. (BTW - of all the Bills, Bisons, and Sabres players I've met at those places and other worthwhile charitable organizations, FatBoy is not one of 'em - reinforcing my opinion that he's one of the most selfish pro athletes I can think of.) Thanks for your permission to criticize the fat, lazy, greedy phuck. Comparing the paltry sum I earn, or much larger sum I would still be earning had I not walked away from a more lucrative industry, to the small fortune, celebrity, and endless perks FatBoy gets to play a freaking game - a game he's loved to play since he was a little kid - is pretty freaking stupid. Guy signed a contract, and was very happy with it. Guy makes a ton of money He can feel he deserves more, and he can ask for more, but there are ways to go about that without being an ass hole. Abandoning your teammates, not showing up for work, dishonoring a generous contract, and generally behaving like a petulant child would not be the best way to go about it, IMHO.

You haven't answered the question... You gonna give a guy whose performance IS being questioned by some, who couldn't finish the last two seasons due to injury, and who apparently refused to do the extra work need to get back in shape for the start of this past season, and who admits he is again suffering an injury - you gonna give that guy a big fat new contract right now? Edit: Never mind , I just saw that you answered in the affirmative. I'm still a bit wary.

Oh. Thanks. Guess I knew you meant Long, & was just bein' a wise-ass. Sorry. So you gonna give a guy whose performance IS being questioned by some, who couldn't finish the last two seasons due to injury, and who apparently refused to do the extra work need to get back in shape for the start of this past season, and who admits he is again suffering an injury - you gonna give that guy a big fat new contract right now?

Certainly no offense taken by me - we just strongly disagree about #71. His on-field performance this season did nothing to justify his off-field behavior over the summer, or a fat new contract, IMHO. Now, since he held out all summer, finally showed up outa shape, sucked for the first few games, lead the league in sacks-allowed, and didn't finish the season for the 2nd consecutive year, are you still willing to back the Brinks truck up to his door? Guy says he's injured. Same as last season. Should we write the check anyway, right now?

Playing terrific ball? Yeah, sure... 'specially those last 2 games where he sat out, the Jets game where he cost us a win, the first 3 or 4 games where he was slow & outa shape, etc., etc.... Again, I quote...

Peters, right? You mean Peters isn't injured. We all know that. Dude just doesn't want to get injured while Parker tries to extort more $$$.

Now who ever expected that Greg Valentine and Johnny Fargo were one-in-the-same? Link I'm beginning to think it's all a sham.

Great news - Bills fans won't have to pay more to sit in Ralph Wilson Stadium this fall. Hmmmm, I wonder why... Link (Full article linked on TBD main page)

Is it 'ethnical' for Peters to demand more money, if he's damaged goods? Who knows what happened between Parker Peters and the Bills F.O.? Guy showed up late, lame, and pretty much sucked, so I can't blame the Bills for letting things sit. Now, Peters is lame again, or claims he is, so should we rush a Brinks truck to his door?

I'm sorry - please clarify: I can certainly believe Belichick* saying, two years ago, that FatBoy was our best player, but did Belichick* say he has gotten better in the past two years, or is it you saying that? Because I am inclined to believe it if Cheater* said it; your opinion, OTOH, is likely as jaded as mine. Regarding 'no one mentioned his name in the last 5-6 weeks', well, um, yeah, they did, and quite a bit - not only 'cause he sat himself down the last 2 games, but because of plays like waving bye-bye as Abram Elam blew by him and caused the fumble that cost us the game against the Jets. No one mentioned his name???? Pulease.....not only was he vilified here on TSW, but regarding FatBoy's 'selection' to the pro bowl... Link Don't sweat it, you're not the only one not to admit Peters 'ain't carrying his end of the log' - but the dude has seen his best days, and also wants out of The BuffTown. No big bucks for him here, and no endorsement $$$ either, and those are the only things he cares about.

Yawn. Nothing for Bills fans to worry about. Been there quite a few times - tiny place, but with a thriving Asian community. Long long drive (by heavy-traffic freeway hours, not miles) from LA's 'center' so can't imagine plopping an NFL stadium there and expecting it to do any better than the Coliseum did. Los Angelenos have already proven they're pretty disinterested in an NFL team. Too much swimming, surfing, and bikinis going on to burn a beautiful Sunday afternoon in front of the tube watching NFL football or - even worse - paying good money to drive three hours to watch the Bills.

Holy crap, that is you! How's it goin', Euguene? Please point out where in this very short, soon to be long, thread that I suggested trading Peters, moron. Know who shouldn't play in the pro bowl? Jake Long. Guy's got a huge contract and a huge career ahead of him, so why risk the injury? Bet he shows up anyway.

Not even close. That you, Eugene?

Who's the idiot? So you're saying he has a serious injury? Wow, guess we were pretty smart not to redo the contract, and better wait to see how he heals before restructuring. FatBoy could play in the pro bowl, just like he could have played the last 2 games, if he wasn't a lazy schitt and had the least bit of interest in playing football - unfortunately, his biggest interest is his pocketbook.

Yes, up until I heard that news, I had plans to watch for 5 minutes.

or, for that matter, a bills game?

Guess Jake Long is the real pro bowler.

How do you explain this... Link You'll probably claim the whole thing was fake.

ditto - i think crayonz's stuff is rotf funny, very much a late-nite style. the responses he gets are also pretty amusing.

Oh I agree - I was just thinking he could help those two ambulance chasers solicit motorcycle cases... link

Not Nikolai Volkoff? Interesting. What was Bam Bam's 'signature move'?

gosh there were quite a few, no? mr. fuji?

Funny stuff. You should write for National Harpoon.

Is Kellen Winslow available?
