    This is much about nothing. He's on the hook to give the memorabilia creeps 2 helmets and he tells the equipment guy to just give him a few worn looking helmets.

     

    I bet nearly all of the crap those memorabilia guys sell to suckers as "game used" are totally bogus in that respect.

     

    Who cares? Give someone their money back.

     

     

    Sweat DNA?

    I guess it depends who you were talking to, if you were one of these guys who bought the helmet, you'd probably be legitimately upset.

     

     

    On a separate note, does anyone want to buy an authentic game worn Tayrod Tyler jersey?

    Allegations against Giants in Eli Manning memorabilia lawsuit are specific and extensive

    http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/19153348/eli-manning-new-york-giants-accused-fraud-court-documents

     

    Look at the context from this article:

     

    "On April 27, 2010, Manning sent an email to Giants head equipment manager Joe Skiba asking for "two helmets that can pass as game used." The email was initiated after Manning was sent a note by Alan Zucker, his marketing agent throughout his career, to come up with some equipment to satisfy his obligation to provide such materials to sports memorabilia company Steiner Sports."

     

    My guess is that Eli's camp is going to issue the following statement:

    "Eli wanted the equipment manager to find 2 (of his many) actual game used helmets that were scuffed up enough to look 'game used', so that the buyers would have a more authentic piece of memorabilia. Any lack of clarity in the message can be attributed to the below:

  3. With the passing of Tom Modrak today it brought to light yet another side of Russ Brandon that is deplorable. You see, good old Rusty has a penchant for coming up with crafty nicknames for his coworkers.

     

    He referred to Tom Modrak as "T-Mo."

    Yes that is correct, "T-Mo." In the past Russ has referred to Doug Marone as "Dougie" and Doug Whaley as "Whales." When the Sabres honored Brian Gionta recently for some reason they released a statement from Russ Brandon where he referred to Gionta as "Gio."

     

    Memo to "Rusty" or "RB" or whatever nickname you give yourself,

    You are nothing more then a carnival barker. Stop making up stupid nicknames for your coworkers. Your act has worn extremely thin in this town and most of the sensible Bills and now Sabres fans would love to send you packing. The Bills have sucked during your time with the team and you are never held accountable even though you are the Managing Partner and President. Go away and take your stupid nicknames with you.

     

     

    It's ok Jeffro.

    I never read the book, but I really enjoyed how the movie made it out that Jeremy Giambi, Scott Hatteberg and David Justice were the reason the A's were so good, while failing to mention having 3 CY Young winning pitchers or a MVP winning shortstop as a factor of success.

     

    You don't win in the NFL because you have a roster full of under appreciated talent, you win because you have Tom Brady, Julio Jones, Cam Newton or Von Miller.

    I read it (a long time ago) and I remember them obsessing over Youkilis for half the book, God of Walks, or something like that. OPS was the super-stat, if I remember correctly, and the key was valuing players by sabremetrics over old fashioned stats. Good read.

  5. While I'm intrigued by his upside and I'm rooting for the kid, I am concerned that with this signing I think we now have approximately negative seven comp picks.

    No worries, I've been saving cereal box tops.

     

    The formula goes:

    15 free agents lost

    - 17 free agents gained

    - 2 net comp pick loss

     

    then:

    7,743 box tops

    x 0.0004 box top to comp pick conversion ratio

    3.0972 box top

    - 2 net comp pick loss

    We're back in the black, baby!

  6. You made one terrible assumption and refuse to own it not a good look. I am a United States Marine and definitely wasnt bragging. Its not easy missing those events, however, using a nit of imagination I have been able to make it up to them in very unique ways. 4hrs at a voluntary practice in no way shape or form should have impacted a millionaires ability to throw one heck of anoarty for his child after the practice. Shady isnt above any of the other players that decided to put their lives on hold to attend a 4 hr session at OBD. The other men put their families, wants, needs, on hold for 4 hrs in an attempt to better the TEAM.

    i never bragged at all. I never stated I enjoyed that, boasted about it, i stated a very simple and true fact. You are trying to rationalize an ignorant stance.

    I am 100% comfortable with my post stating "Unless you are in the armed forces and deployed overseas, you sound like a terrible father and husband. Probably a good employee though." What is ignorant about saying that parents shouldn't miss their kid's birthday unless they need to? Clearly you had no choice but to miss their birthdays. I would think that you of all people would appreciate the value of being there for your family, and would side with the guy who skipped a voluntary stretching workout to be with his family over something as inconsequential as football. Thanks for your service, regardless.

     

    And for the record, if I disagree with Badol, Firechan and Billsvet, it tends to mean I am right.

  7. Maybe he is.

     

    Why would you call out somebody before you know? If he said, "actually, I spent the entirety of last year repairing cleft palates in Africa for free," you'd look like a total !@#$. And you'd have to apologize. But hey, keep on keeping on. If we were judging folks on what their posts "sound like," I'd say you sound like an ass.

    It's pretty simple, if he was doing something altruistic with his time my assumption would be inaccurate. I also tend to think if he was that kind of guy he wouldn't brag about all of the birthdays and anniversaries he missed.

     

     

    Good to know that the feeling is mutual between us, though.

  8. You called him a terrible father and husband. You don't know the first thing about him. You honestly come off like a much worse person here.

     

    It's really telling how quick you are to personally attack somebody. I'd just bow out if I was you.

    I said its SOUNDS LIKE. Maybe he’s deployed in the middle east. Maybe he volunteers for Drs. Without Borders. But he’s bragging about missing his kid’s and wife’s bday on a message board, absent any of the bolded, and absence that detail, he sounds like a bad husband/father.

  9. Hes the only one not there on a tesm that's desperately trying to undo losing ways and turn this franchise around. You dont think a millionaire athlete could have held his childs birthday party a day early in order to take part in team activities that has been arrainged for a while now? Also its 4 hours how long is the birthday party all day? He could have done both in the same day.

     

     

    So, no kids for you either?

     

     

    Unless you are in the armed forces and deployed overseas, you sound like a terrible father and husband. Probably a good employee though.

     

     

    Because you have no context or knowledge of the situation. That generally leads to making yourself look like an ass. Exhibit A: your last handful of posts in this topic.

    What more context do you need? I'm as entitled you my opinion about his post are you are about your TT crusade.

  10.  

     

    That's what I say :thumbsup: .......he will probably end up in radio/podcast biz like all the other washed-up Hall-of-Good'ers in the NFL and NBA.

     

    He might have a shot on one of the 200 different NFL tv shows but the domestic violence/herpes spreading/ladies-only party issues might be an issue there.....seems the trend is away from those types.

     

    The end comes fast for a RB......gotta' be prepared! :thumbsup:

     

     

    Way to bring up an issue NOBODY was askin' about. :flirt:

     

    You are developing quite the rep as a sh*t stirrer UDonkey.

     

     

    It's kinda' out of bounds to call a fellow poster you know very little about a bad father/husband on TSW........no?

     

    You should probably slow your roll........or maybe take it over to ppp?

    By bragging on TSW about how many of your kids' and wife's birthdays you blew off, you're making it fair game....no?

  11. we don't want to traumatize a 5 year old by having a birthday party a week early

     

     

    ​ I think the team needs everyone there. Birthday bull. Work comes first. He had the whole off season to have parties. Team Player? Maybe not so much as we would like.

     

    Get a grip fellas. I'd think Shady making the right life choices make would be something you'd be happy about.
