I'm thinking BADO believes, since the Bills have been a dysfunctional organization for so long, nobody associated with them can be defamed---or. perhaps more to the point, it doesn't matter since they are bad.
That's about the only sense I can make of his ramblings in this thread.
He's obviously just trolling everyone in this thread (for some inexplicable reason).

.....
Previous commissioners had no issues applying the rules of this CBA. Why? .....
That must have been extremely hard for them to do since Goodall has been the only NFL Commissioner during this CBA.
-
So a good journalist re-interprets what his source tells them and then apologizes for the source...unsoliticed of course...... if necessary. And yes.........that is exactly what you are telling me. Probably doesn't sound so smart when I say it though.
If you get told that someone is...." Just as proficient with their left hand as they are the right. They are amphibious.", do you report that they are ambidextrous....or indeed amphibious?

Here is what I care about: Show me the baby!
I don't care about the media pains!.
Yet you jump into this thread early on with strong opinions. I think you care about the media pains....just a little bit.
-
Yes, admit that his sources used a bad choice of words. it was not his word, so he shouldn't apologize for that. He should have just admitted his sources used poor wording.
.....
IMO he should have conveyed what his sources actually meant rather than directly quote something that he(very most likely) knew was going to be misrepresentative of the situation.
.....
Of course, and Dibs might not be aware of this (though he probably is--dude seems to have more info down under than most here) "going rogue" has become quite the popular term in the states the last few years. So I suppose there is a possibility both guys used the term, independently. But still, I kind of doubt it.
Actually, I wasn't aware of that. I guessed the concept in my attempts to be fair to TG (trying to think of reasons why 2 individuals would both incorrectly use an uncommon term).
-
According to TG, that is the word that 2 separate sources used to describe it. So if that is true (I don't take TG to be an outright liar), he did is job right. He reported it using 2 seperate sources, which is fairly responsible because 1 source could make a mistake, but 2 is a lot less unlikely. A lot of these twitter reports go on a lot less. So he did well, so this is really on his sources.
...
Unless the word "Rogue" has become a bit of a fad word around Bills HQ it seems quite strange to me that 2 seperate sources would use it....particularly since it is being used outside of its standard definition. I suppose it could also be that Whaley has a group of people at OBD that dislike him and gossip with each other, and as consequence end up using the same adjective.
-
....
the 2 sources that used the word "rogue" with him were obviously not good sources. They were either flat out wrong or they had an agenda to throw Whaley under a bus. TG should have just admitted his sources screwed up instead of trying t o twist it that he didn't mean "rogue" to mean what people generally think it means by its definition.
....
I don't think that it has been established that the word "rogue" was a direct quote or whether it was a (poorly?) chosen word by TG.

What do you do when you can't complain about the starting OL anymore?
Start whinging about the backups.
For a team that has had a crap roster for over a decade, I'm constantly surprised at the unrealistic fan expectations for total perfection.
-
.....reminded me of the age old question of would I trade our 4 SB losses for 1 SB win?
....Folks often ask the question would you trade four SB losses for one SB win?
...Really?

Basketball: I guess it depends upon exactly how you refer to your college basketball exploits? I don't know the details of what Coller claims re baseball. If you claim you played basketball in college, but you weren't a good player and didn't make the roster, you're being factuallly accurate, brag away. 99.5% of the population can't ball out even at that level so cred to you. If you put it on your resume that you were a 4 year starter at a DI school and you played fall ball, you're lying. If you play fall ball and you brag about your exploits, you're a tool.
If someone calls you out on something you've done, and you respond by attacking some aspect of their character, that is called an "ad hominem argument" and is regarded as a type of logical fallacy and a refuge of people who really don't have an adequate response. That appears to be what Tim Graham has done in responding to Coller's questioning his tweet by attacking Coller's resume.
I don't know about jagoff meanings from video games. Merriam Webster Online defines rogue as a man who is dishonest or immoral; a dishonest or worthless person; but also a mischevious person. Urban dictionary says "going rogue" is either Someone who "acts independently and wayward from the usual group, generally acting in an outrageous or abnormal manner" but also a "euphamism for unprotected anal sex".
I think if you're a reporter whose tweets get picked up and echoed by national media, you better be damn careful before you use a term that calls a man dishonest or immoral or worthless in a respected source for definitions of the language, and you better be ready to explain just what you mean lest people think that you're getting too deep, as it were, into his personal life.
Well said.

Radio
You forgot the question mark after "radio".

According to that article, the NFL can still give out a different punishment to Brady for his offenses. If that is in fact the case, I think they should go with a full 16 game suspension. That'd be sweet.
-
I have been using it for several years now (from Australia) and last week was the first time it had major issues.
-
This is a real problem. So let me get this straight...you have to think of everything there is that could happen (even things that are not available yet or have not been dreamed of yet) and make sure you apply a punishment for each and everyone in order for it to stick? That's a bunch of bull!!!
I don't think that driving a car onto the field would be covered. Perhaps if McCoy isn't quite healthy in week 1 he could do his RBing from behind the wheel.
The legal system is a joke. There should be more focus on the intent of the laws and justice rather than the minutea of the language.
Absolutely rediculous!

Let's see...
Last year 9-7
This year...better OL, RBs, TEs, WRs....theoretically better coaches/coaching, QBs....same Defense and ST.
Sure, 10-6 is obviously our ceiling this year.

next we'll hear there's a link between swimming and drowning
I think there might be a bigger link between not swimming and drowning.

It was Whaley. Happy now?
Nothing new in that article.....and why would you expect anybody to be happy?
-
Excellent use of the term "wanker."
I concur. He sounded like a true Aussie.
-
I shouldn't have used #1 nod that was the wrong term(its late). And I was trying conveying for his prospective as that was the post's context I was taking from. See my comment to Kelly's post @Posted Today, 12:07 AM.
No worries on that. I think however you are reading more into that string of events(RB starting nods and RB acquisitions) than what was actually there. As I see it, we had a 1st round RB who was starting....Fred was an UDFA. The 1st rounder faltered so Fred took the reigns. The new HC Gailey was not convinced that Fred could do what he wanted(and/or he fell in love with CJ) so he drafted another 1st round RB. Fred then showed that he actually could do the job, and held the 1st rounder out of the starting role for 2 more seasons....till he got injured. After that the team went with the multi-back philosophy sharing the starting job with Fred and CJ for several more seasons(which was shown to be very beneficial to both RBs).
I see nothing that points to FJ being unjustly overlooked through his career....apart from maybe his very early years where he had much to prove.
Side note: Time stamps aren't any good as people are in different time zones(Melbourne Australia here). Post number works best I find.
-
What I was saying was that, contrary to what you wrote, they certainly did give Fred the #1 nod.Marshawn Lynch was the feature back in 2009 and CJ was drafted in 2010 to be the next feature back. Both got more money and status then he did ... I am not sure what you are trying to say? I think you are confirming what I wrote.
Fred surplanted Lynch as the starter during the 2009 season and carried on as the undisputed starter through the 2010 & 2011 seasons.
-
Right on, brother. This was about politics, not football. An executive desperately clinging to power goes rogue and cuts Freddy with the hope Bryce Brown can somehow improve his hand. It's pathetic.
Wow.
-
He has.
Marshawn, CJ, Shady.
He was the most productive RB on the team for year and they never gave him the #1 nod.
It's good to see people who know their Bills history. (Try looking at 2009-10).
-
As GM? Interesting.
You really need to stop asking open questions and then refining them after you get an answer.

This pledge/poll should really have been done weeks before the starter was selected IMO.
