Hossage Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I cant believe I made it out of my youth without getting arrested or killed. I was a polite kid, and went to college and all, but I wasnt in control of myself. I dont think I can say if I had millions of dollars that I wouldnt always have been in the papers for something stupid. I dont think he is necessarily the worst guy, but he isnt the smartest, and he is straight from the hood. BEEF MOE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Smerlas's Moustache Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 5'11" 195lbs is undersized? http://clemsontigers.cstv.com/sports/m-foo...ler_c.j.02.html The undersized/oversized labels are thrown around way too much. It's how the player plays. Reggie Bush has always been 'undersized', until these last playoffs, when he started running like someone taped a picture of Kardashian's ass to the goalpost. Warrick Dunn damn near ran himself into the HOF at 170-180 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 thats an embarrassing article for all sides involved What is so embarrassing? My only thing is that he doesn't seem to realize the reason they don't want him with dogs is because he has 2 pit bulls, which are actually not mean dogs at all until they are trained by their owners to be so...however, with his reputation what it is, I am sure they were not wanting to take a wait and see approach as to how the dogs were going to grow up. At least he has a good attitude about the whole situation and that can only help...Gailey being what he is I'm sure will find a way to utilize all three of the backs...I wouldn't be surprised to see Spiller line up in the slot a lot to be a matchup nightmare for the LB that draws him in coverage and have both Lynch and Jackson in the backfield...not like we have a lot of better options at WR than what Spiller could likely do...

CarolinaBill Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Or this guy. Those eight pounds are all the difference you know. yeah, both those guys were WAAAAAY to small to be feature backs, jeez, what was Nix thinking taking such a midget RB, that will never pay off, 5-9/5-11 200lb rb have never been very productive.

Speedy G Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Even though Lynch has had his problems, the fact of the matter is that if the Bills had an O-line, he would be kicking some serious A$$, he had a couple good years, then the line took a dive, he got suspended, and the rest is history. But, he is only 24, Jackson is 29 or 30, not sure, so getting Spiller is a good pick because he can be utilized in ways that Lynch cant, and when Jackson has lost a step, Lynch and Spiller will still be there, so the bottom line is that CHIX has made the decision the the more weapons the better, and if Lynch is sincere about cleaning up his act, then look out AFC East, Jackson, Lynch, and Spiller will be eating up yardage in large chunks!!!

McBeane Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 We all know Bill in NYC is pissed cause we didn't reach for a tackle at 9, regardless of the best playmaker in the draft being available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iinii Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I hope he's serious. I can't believe that Nix wouldn't take a third rounder for him. Oh well, we'll see what the future holds. I can, he is worth more than a third and will be to us or someone else come late August. Beast, Jackson, and Spiller could cause some major problems for a defense.

Wilson from Gamehendge Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AswU...nchfuture052310 Will everybody leave the guy alone now??? He is just a West Coast African American football player from Oakland California who happens to have dreadlocks and listens to rap music. He likes to have fun like all 20-something year olds do... But now, I guess it is your beloved city of Buffalo who is the "thug!" Your cops sure as **** don't seem worthy of anything...just a bunch of pigs on power trips, hating the dreadlocked black millionaire. Associating with the city of Buffalo and their Police departments is MORE of a "Black Eye" to the Buffalo Bills franchise...than drafting Marshawn Lynch has ever been! These !@#$s are supposed to protect these players and idolize them...after all, they are the ones who will hopefully someday bring us what we ALL want so badly...and that is a professional sports championship trophy to call our own. I bet if it was Trent Edwards, Brian Moorman...or even Thomas Vanek or Ryan Miller who's car got hit by a beer can being thrown by a fan....said fan would have been found and arressted.

Doc Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 He's a thug. I'm not one of the crazed Buffalonians who hold that against him or anything, but a thug is a thug. You would call a duck a duck if you saw one, so I don't really see the point in trying to spin him differently by saying, "had the hit and run never happened". Well it did. And I still would have called him a thug if it didn't. None of this sways my support for the guy, but come one with trying to paint him like a saint. “When I’m out, I’m real cautious about what I do,” Lynch said." -He actually said that. We're supposed to be proud because he's now acting like every other person when they go out? He now looks for people crossing the road, and smokes his weed indoors? I'm sick of the race card being played like its AA. Nothing this guy did helped. The city didn't have it out for him, we just started calling a thug, a thug. I've still never heard a good explanation for why he's a "thug." I've got "he's black" and "he's got dreds" covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way is Marshawn Lynch not a thug? Even his most loyal supporters agree he's "str8 hood". I think that's why they like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
