Wilson from Gamehendge Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Buddy Nix needs to pick up the phone and call this guy...and make this ONE move to sign Tony Washington...it could drastically change the future of this team, or it could not do a damn thing...but, the Buffalo Bills have NOTHING to lose...so, why not? http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Teams-are-reluctant-to-give-Tony-Washington-a-shot.html Why not try? He cannot be any worse than Cornell Green and it could turn into a tremendous story...not to mention, if he developed it could turn into an extra draft pick in a roundabout way. I would completely be on board with this, but then again...I am also one who wanted, and still supports Vick. However, before you go comparing this guy to Vick or anyone else, and saying you do NOT want him in Buffalo or on this team or in your neighborhood...go read his story first and think about his situation, before you judge him. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5497517 *Can you imagine the chip on this guy's shoulder?

Mike in Syracuse Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Uh, no. Not now, not ever. There are some mistakes in life you just don't get a pass on. Sexin up your sister is one of them. You can bang a dog, a goat, a cow or a freaking Llama and I might forgive you. You just don't do your sister....EVER!

GG Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I say, why not?... Buffalo's been kissing it's sister for a while. Not quite. That would imply that Bills are an 8-8 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Imagine what that guy hears in an NFL locker room, or worse on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I hate the Bills ! Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I agree what Washington did was pretty grusome and he has paid a pretty dear price! But life is about 2nd chances. Imagine if he turns into a success story ! If he doesn't just cut him and say yeah we wasn't any good ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conch Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Abraham had sex with his daughters. Give the guy a break and let him get on with his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agardin Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 This thread turns up every now and then and I have always said that the guy has earned the right to try out. There are guys in the league that have done some pretty nasty stuff as adults, there is a big difference between a 16 year old and a 26 year old. It isn't about the fact that the Bills could likely use him that I feel this way, I just feel that he has paid a heavy price for the incident. By every account I have read, he would have a legion of coaches, social workers and team mates that would vouch for him and he hasn't been in trouble since. Sign him, put him on Oprah and all will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagon Circler Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 He was sixteen at the time. He's paid his debt. Give him a shot. Smashing dogs heads against trees is worse. Vick got a second chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bklnpete Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 While incest, if it is forced and against someone's will, and other crimes sexual in nature are most definitely deplorable, there are factors in this case that make it not so clear-cut. Who knows what the real truth is? Did the cops coax his sister into saying it wasn't consensual? Anyway, didn't this guy pay the criminal price so far? Doesn't he now have to register as a sex-offender wherever he goes for the rest of his life? I guarantee Ben Roethlisberger (a legal adult when his incident occurred), had he not gotten such a sweet deal down in Georgia, would have been convicted of rape and had to carry that same tag. Would that have been any different? Let the guy play ball, for the Bills or anyone else. If he can handle the obvious verbal abuse he'll hear from opponents (and maybe some of his team mates?) then let him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Is this guy related to JOE DIRT? That is a very funny but mean comment, but I couldn't resist either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I honestly think Washington is a victim in this case, from what I have read and heard. Now, I don't know if he is an NFL caliber starter, but I agree the Bills might benefit from giving him a shot. Now there may be more to the story, and a reason no team is willing to sign him (after all, Vick is playing in the NFL and what he did is FAR FAR worse). Maybe the guy has other issues preventing teams from pursuing him. Of course, this could be an NFL blackball, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zona Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Of course, this could be an NFL blackball, too. This is what I think as well Dean-o. There will NEVER be confirmation of this, but there have been tons of guys given second and third chances by teams in this league, and this guy doesnt get a chance to even try to make a team? Smacks of a blackball to me. I almost wish a whistleblower would come forward to blow the lid off Goodell and his code of conduct... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbuffalobob Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I'll bet there are several members of this board who can 'relate' to Tony's previous sexcapade. It's not that unique- he just got whacked. In this country, we still have a place called "The South". Hey Aunt Mommy... After that beautiful article that was written up on this here guy, I can't believe some 1 hasn't givin him a shot. I think we should. It's not like he's a member of the B.O. ridden Taliban.
