Nice try!

$6K for the Google name is a far bigger travesty than $30K for a crappy tape that isn't even needed now. That sounds rather greedy and shady.

There's always Chris Brown to read! Obviously, the News is in the money business and they would not have him there if he wasn't making them money in some fashion. That's free enterprise and free speech working right there. If a person lets a newspaper columnist "drag them down", then there might be other issues present. I have family in Buffalo and go back every couple months and have never felt whatever negative mojo you feel. You aren't bringing it with you, are you?

I think a lot more people would be on the little guy's side if he had a sound legal position, but he doesn't seem to. If someone was trying to get something over on you that the law didn't allow for, wouldn't you want protection of said law? I wonder if the guy would have taken the $30K if he didn't read SI and get lawyered up.

No, and no. Not at all. But they don't have to read the stuff they find offensive to their sensibilities either. Or they can protest the News/advertisers. Or they can B word on a message board. I just think all of that is interesting. Does the fact you don't find it interesting mean your feelings are hurt by what Sully writes?

Norm in your case = common. "Not normal" in my case meant not mentally well. There's a difference. That's why there's a name for it - "battered woman syndrome".

I haven't seen a suggestion to suppress the fans' opinions. I am suggesting they are interesting.

I wonder if the NFL spent more or less than $30K creating the special they just televised. I'm thinking more. From the article, it sounds like the quality of the tape is really not even up to the quality standards for broadcasting. I wonder if it was actually broadcast-quality whether the NFL would have forked over a lot more. I think so, but no way would they pay $1M. Just because SI quoted that estimated value doesn't make it so.

The chicks will do that to ya.

Some reactions seem like people are taking it personal, and are accompanied by personal attacks on him - name calling, calls for him to lose his job, etc. Geez, he's writing opinions about a football team! How unimportant can it get? I have my own allegiance to the Bills, but honestly, who cares what someone else says about "my" team? Knock yourself out Sully, just make it interesting and I'll probably read it.

I think when there are repeated domestic violence altercations, going back to the ex is not normal. Mental illness wasn't meant as a pejorative term, it's a medical one.

It's interesting that someone who is paid to write opinions that elicit a response from readers is disliked so intensely for doing his job. Clearly, if the News didn't like his work, they would reassign him and hire someone to write more publicly-pleasing opinions.

Co-dependence? Mental illness? Alcoholism? The choices are endless.

I used to buy DVDs of game broadcasts on eBay all the time until the NFL (I assume) cracked down on eBay and now those sellers are very reluctant to do anything other than "trade" for other games they don't have. So, there must be a legal reason, or a good threat of it, that prevents that guy from doing an open bid or sale of that tape.

Guess I missed that post. Who fingered him?

Article stated she went to his hotel room after bar hopping with her girlfriends, and surprise! yet another argument broke out. That girl's parents need to get her some help as well.

Have any media outlets outside of Buffalo even identified Sully as the person asking those questions? How can Sully be an embarrassment to the News if no one even knows who asked the questions?

That girl is as nutty as he is. She must not have seemed very credible to the police, given that they didn't arrest him. Not defending him, just saying they are both nuts.

"She says she thought he was on drugs or maybe having a psychotic break. She told police she then began telling him she loved him." The hell with Johnny. This girl needs psychiatric help - STAT.

There's always the "ignore" feature. And we need some contrarian viewpoints to stimulate discussion, even if it's fabricated. 9 pages of "Sully is a tool" gets pretty old. BTW - Some of the artificially generated stuff on this board is the best! Try Fergy's numbers thread!

Is there anything you won't do to keep looking out for us and bringing us the info we need?

The fact that he has a 9-page thread of mostly people that hate him talking about him suggests his current work is "noteworthy". I actually enjoy most of Sully's work. It's interesting. If all there was to read were Chris Brown puff pieces, the Bills' world would be very boring. Sully used to be on WGR's morning pregame show with Jeremy White and it was great - Jerry was always at odds with Jeremy or the caller or both and it made for great radio on the drive in from Syracuse. It's much the same with this board - the posters who have the more provocative opinions are interesting to read and make the exchange of views more fun to read......even if they aren't always sane.

CTE may be the explanation for some of the posts on TSW!

Based on the rest of your post, you sure have a weird way of showing it! I'm curious as to what you wish for people you DON'T like!

I'm so ashamed, but here goes...... "With Arms Wide Open" Well I just heard the news today It seems my life is going to change I close my eyes, begin to pray Then tears of joy stream down my face With arms wide open Under the sunlight Welcome to this place I'll show you everything With arms wide open With arms wide open Well I don't know if I'm ready To be the man I have to be I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side We stand in awe, we've created life With arms wide open Under the sunlight Welcome to this place I'll show you everything With arms wide open Now everything has changed I'll show you love I'll show you everything With arms wide open With arms wide open I'll show you everything ...oh yeah With arms wide open..wide open [Guitar Break] If I had just one wish Only one demand I hope he's not like me I hope he understands That he can take this life And hold it by the hand And he can greet the world With arms wide open... With arms wide open Under the sunlight Welcome to this place I'll show you everything With arms wide open Now everything has changed I'll show you love I'll show you everything With arms wide open With arms wide open I'll show you everything..oh yeah With arms wide open....wide open
