mrags Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I think one of the top two FAs in football being at a nationally televised hockey game, NBC Sports would probably put a camera on him for 10 seconds. I don't think it's impossible...maybe not likely. To your reply and BuffBillForever is this: How much national media attention have we recieved about this since the story broke about 4:30pm yesterday? OUTSIDE of the people in the arena (because they obviously care) and people in the area, who really cares about hockey? It's the red headed stepchild of major sports right behind football, baseball, basketball, NASCAR, and golf. Just saying nobody around the rest of the country gives a crap about hockey. On another note, I think it wouldn't hurt and would show MW IF he really is at the game that we are fanatics and we really want him here. It was just my tale on hockey that must have pissed you off.

The point being more that NBC Sports is not NBC Hockey...as a sports story it's not unimaginable that they'd focus a camera on another story for 10 seconds.

I agree with it also. I think it oils be a great idea to put him on national TV at the game. And I think it would be really cool to let him know how much we want him as well. I was merely making fun at the fact that Buffalo never gets national attention for anything unless we look bad and at hockey for being one of the least popular sports in the entire country.

Maybe they feel like they have to make up for something... Don’t be surprised if the team ultimately makes Williams an offer that he can’t refuse.

Chilly Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Did anyone just hear the intermission stick guy on NBC Sports Network? Went something like this: How to play defense with one hand on your stick or two hands. I've always been a one hand on my stick kinda guy; everyone with two hands on their stick, it doesn't seem to give you what you want. With two hands on his stick right here, it gets him all off balance. All of a sudden he's going to be in the box, and he's going to feel a little shame. If you open up like this, you have so much more wingspan and so much more balance, you could get in trouble sticking a stick through your arm or leg like this, but if you're careful, you can have much better balance.

I'd guess he wants somewhere near where Megatron got or maybe more. I'd guess the $60m range in guaranteed money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVABillsFan Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 This is almost killing me. It obviously isn't the money factor, because the Bills want to make Mario the richest defensively paid player in the NFL. I think the question now is Mario's fiance. Marios seems to be a settled and focused man, his still being in Buffalo tells me he is interested. While I believe Mario has been courted and wooed, I believe his fiance needs some special attention given to her. Mario's thoughts are his family and future, so please western New York, show that lady a little love, after all, I am sure she can help purrrrrsuade him.

I'd guess he wants somewhere near where Megatron got or maybe more. I'd guess the $60m range in guaranteed money. It could easily be that it's all but done. His agent is trying to get as much as he can out of the Bills before Mario signs. This is kind of an unusual situation, and with Megatron signing for so much today, that could have made the agent want a few million more. The Bills have to get this done and the agent knows it.

"patriots beat writers" didnt even exist til 10 years ago. id be willing to bet an all expense paid trip to buffalo for 2 that that guy never watched a patriots game until the mid to late 90s.
