    I'm just going to say that MD could learn a few things from Mantai T'eo.

     

    I get that you can be sad after a close relative dies.

     

    But that doesn't mean you let it affect your job so negatively. It's like when a soldier goes to war, the term is that to a large degree, they have to put their personal life in a box.

     

    T'eo handled his grief constructively and in a way it seems to have actually helped his game, because it was a vent for his emotions. It doesn't seem like MD was (and maybe, is) coping healthily.

     

    I understand the point you make, he still has a job to do. However, we can't say how we would react to such a tragic loss unless it happens to us, which I wouldn't wish upon anyone. He lost his kid brother. Everyone deals with tragedy differently, and let's not forget this is a 23 year old kid we're talking about. I think it speaks volumes to his character that he was able to "shake it off", so to speak, and get back into the game. I think he's dealt with it rather well for what it's worth.

    Chan's statements

    Every time Chan opens his mouth the more fecal matter dribbles out. He must have a blockage on the other end. I agree, the dude is spewing out stuff that is border line incoherent.

     

    :lol: Kind of reminds me of that episode of South Park, where everything Stan hears sounds like shyt.....I can just see Chan at the podium, and all of a sudden turds just start flying out of his mouth....

    Manti Te'o - LB - Notre Dame

    I know we have a lot of needs (QB, CB, etc) but I don't think there will be anyone worthwhile available at those positions and I think we need to take a good hard look at Manti Te'o with our first pick. The guy is a winner. I think he's going to be the next Ray Lewis. He's not just a good ILB but he knows what it takes to make the guys around him better. We don't have anybody with that kind of passion on our defense. Barnett was good last year in the 4-3 but this year I haven't heard his name called too often and he's getting old. Let's get a young exciting player in there that will take on the ball carrier in the hole and lay him out. And he has the intangibles to make him much more valuable to a defense like ours that seems lost and looking for some direction. We need his leadership and his fire and his excitement. I think he could be the spark we are looking for

     

    I don't disagree at all with you that we need someone with his leadership, fire and excitement. I just think we need a quarterback MORE. We've neglected the position for far too long, and I do believe there are several good QB's, potential franchise changing QB's coming out of the draft.

    That's what I'm saying. The off punctuation, the multiple typos, the random capital letters. You'd think after two years of stewing that initial contact would surpass THAT. I know if I was emailing a top dog at a 9 billion dollar company about bringing a huge scandal to light it wouldn't read like a JW post at 4am. It just stood out as strange to me, given the context.

     

    Also, As I said earlier the content has a feel of "trade this for a job" but it could just be his poor writing.

     

    Edit: no harm meant towards JW or his occassional 4am posts.

     

    I agree 100 percent, this is nothing more than him vying for another NFL job, and saying, if you hook me up, I'll hook you up.

     

    I truly believe when all is said and done, this is going to come back to bite the commissioner in the you know what.

     

    NoSaint, while I am a Bills fan first and foremost, my wife is from New Orleans, so I always tell everyone i am a Saints fan by marriage. With the state of the Saints, and with the current record, the loss of coach payton for the year, and the remaining daunting schedule, have you conceded this year, and just decided to start fresh next year? Basically they would have to run the table, with maybe, maybe one more loss to contend for a wild card....thoughts?

    I was born at Sister's Hospital.

    My parents moved me down to DC when I was 6. Like you, I spent every summer in BLo up through my High School years. We'd return for Thanksgiving. Then come back for Christmas. Then in the Spring. So even though I wasn't living there year around I still felt like it was home. I still go online and read the Buff News. I used to go to Training Camp and scrimmages and pre-season with my Uncles and Cousins. Since Grad School I return for one regular season game a year with my father and cousins.

     

    Buffalo means family. Love it. The beautiful summer and fall. The first snow fall. The Looooooooooooooooooong Winter

    and Spring. LoL. And it was always home, even after we moved away. Bocce's, Ted's, GiGi's, Parkside Candies

    and a bunch of other great mom and pop food spots that have long since closed. And a special shout out to Mighty Taco who sponsored my first little league team in Shoshone Park.

     

    No place is perfect, but there is a lot to love about Buffalo. I think the thing about Buffalonians, even those that have

    moved away for various reasons, we all never lose that affection for the city. And I CANNOT STAND people talking slick about the city and have never even been there to know how wrong they are. I love the neighborly atmosphere. The family atmosphere. Even though times change and Buffalo needs new industries to carry it into the future, I LOVE the blue collar roots of the city. My grandfather's worked for Amtrak and General Motors. My father and uncles spent time working at Bethlehem Steel in the summers during school. Buffalo is a city of workers and nothing lasting happens without work.

     

    I'm a Western New Yorker til the day I die.

     

     

    Amen brother :thumbsup:

    I love Buffalo because...

     

    I was born in Buffalo, at Childrens Hospital..

    My mom was one of 10 siblings, and the only one who left Buffalo and moved me down to Northern Virginia when I was 1.....

    Yet every summer I got to spend in Buffalo, with my aunts, uncles and cousins, in the Langfield Housing

    Projects, and although my family was poor, those were the absolute greatest summers of my life....

    Because I always come home every year for a Bills game...

    And because my trip isn't complete until I've had wings from LaNova's, a steak sandwich from Rick's,

    and a couple tacos from Mighty Taco...and some pizza from Bocce's....

    T99 is going to be like Cheyenne on steroids. We had been discussing the move since before last season, and have done enough "test drives" to where Im very confident we're going to have great times there.

     

    Thursday night is the draft party. We'll have some good specials, but more importantly just getting together in the offseason. We were working on getting some players there as well since a number live in Atlanta, but Im not sure who has committed yet.

     

    Hope to see you guys there!

     

    EDIT: If you arent on our email list, please sign up on the website. And if you are on facebook, please add us. Go Bills!

     

    Count me in sir :thumbsup:

    The BBA announced this week that we will be changing locations. The new meeting place, and home of the Bills Backers Atlanta (as well as all things Buffalo) is:

     

    Tavern 99 -128 E Andrews Drive Northwest Atlanta, GA 30305

     

    We enjoyed our stay @ Hudson Grille & we appreciate the hospitality they showed us for our past 2 seasons there (and years prior with the same staff at Cheyenne). But we have some great things lined up at Tavern 99, and the GM (Mike) is one of our own. Our test runs with Sabres games went very well this spring, and we'll be throwing our first official event next Thursday for the draft.

     

    Hope to see you there!

     

    Go Bills!

     

     

    edit: If you are in the Atlanta area, or just want to keep tabs on the largest Bills Backers chapter outside of NYS, add us on Facebook

     

     

    I'm here in Atlanta and am a member of the Bills Backers of Atlanta Club. I enjoyed going to watch the games at Cheyenne, and I enjoyed going to watch the games at the Hudson Grille...hopefully I'll have the same great experience at Tavern 99.

     

    What's going on for Thursday night? I'm definitely trying to come by and see what's going on...they have any food or drink specials that night? I looked on the website and didn't see anything posted....
