I spoke with Mr. Barnett.

I can't really give a lot of details about my job but I'd like to tell mention that tonight I had Nick Barnett and a host of other Bills in tonight. In the past I've had people like Jason Peters and others who were rude and incredibly hard to deal with. Mr. B is the polar opposite. He was all smiles and really a lot of fun to have around. I asked him questions and also made a lot of comments and he was really a great sport. I told him about that this city is dying for a winner. He agreed and he seemed passionate about trying to bring that feeling back to Buffalo,

 

 

After meeting 50 players who were complete jerks, I thought I'd share about one who was really fantastic.

1 in 50 eh? A true diamond in the rough.

 

I like the way he plays.

 

Hope he puts Tebow on his ass early when they come his way.

They are jerks bc they have been spoiled their whole live and think that deserve everything bc they are "better" than you.

 

Glad to see Barnett is good guy.

Not really needed as you are just asking for it here....

What I dont get is that people will now bash him about his job and what he does. He simply stated that Barnett is a great guy, looking forward to the season and that he relayed the fans desire to win. Realize that people have jobs that do interact with players and that players are real human beings that live among us in society. I think I took a **** once on the same toilet Jim Kelly used at the casino. It was beautiful.

On the topic of jerks, I'll also say that Thurman, Leonard Smith, and Kirby Jackson were all great guys to deal with in person. I worked at Tony Romas back in the early 90s and they filmed a couple episodes of Thurman's show there. We also organized a rib eating contest with some of the team members. These three couldn't have been cooler, IMO.

Didn't the team fly to New Jersey on Sat? How could they have been out anywhere here?

 

I know a former DJ from one of the strip clubs in NF, Ont who has a number of stories about former Bills visiting his establishment. This post would seem to suggest something similar - I can't imagine a number of Bills visiting such a place on the eve of the opener.

Seriously? Doubt it. Massage therapist is more likely, and I mean true massage therapist, not "massage therapist".

Ah, you two are no fun.

 

I'd prefer to believe the less-believable theory.

I dunno. man.. How many Message Parlors are open til 3:30AM? I think the time of the post might be a point in the favor of the "Stripper Crowd".

Are you a time traveler? Last night was Friday night--games are played on Sunday last I checked....

Guys -maybe extreme but a lot of players can be jerks at times. He just was talking about how gracious Barnett is so why act like middle schoolers with the massage parlor, fry cook, and stripper comments.

 

It's hard for these guys who get barraged a bit, but at the same time there is a general difference in some of them. I can tell you one of the best of the guys I've spent time with was Andre reed. He actually was guest at one of my corporate meetings last year and was as cool as he was as a star opening the door for me in the 90's when they were going to superbowls at the big tree inn.

 

I love when I hear about another good guy who is a nice genuine person and doesn't think because he plays football or any other type of success that he is better than the guy behind the subway counter.

Fun to meet the real guys. Met OJ in the Big N in Cheektowaga and dealt with him for a refund of a shower curtain after his wife had sent him to buy kitchen curtains. Had to ask him twice to repeat himself because I could not understand him. Dumb as a box of rocks. Sure could run good thou. Ran right into another cell. Sestack-Maquire bar was a great place to meet players. Always nice. Good the Bad and the Ugly in all business today. Still fun to meet the guys we love. Go BILLS

I thought we'd all agreed she was a stripper.

 

Why do people say things like this? So immature! About ready to get off this forum forever!

 

Immature?

 

I know you are but what am I?

I know the guys who do the landscaping for Barnett and alot of other Bills players. One of them told me that Nick bought a Presa Canario, sent him to camp for TWO years, and is there solely to protect his children. He said Nick was a very nice guy also.

 

Just my two cents.

 

what is "camp"? im assuming this means like "obedience school" or something? But why on EARTH would you need to send a dog to obedience school for two years??? Yes I realize Presa's are bigger dogs...but that seems outrageous, and kind of dumb...why buy a dog that you cant have/spend time with/bond with for two years??? and to protect the kids? buy a gun or a body gaurd...

Yeah third-party training seems a bit weird to me unless the owner and dog go to camp together.

 

Otherwise the animal is trained to take commands from a person who is no longer there.

 

Did Barnett bring the dog to the strip club?

Just relaying what I was told. However, when dogs are trained professionally to perform a certain task or form of "work" it becomes almost instinct.Taking commands from another wouldn't be an issue if the "new" owner establishes himself as the pack leader.

 

But who cares... @ least we know Nick Barnett has a bad ass dog. :D

I think a few people didn't realize you posted originally at 330 am so when your post said Today they thought you were talking about tonite (sat) Oh well. You were referring to Friday night.

 

For what it's worth I think Barnett was the best FA pickup we've had here in a long long time. Good value, great production and its nice to hear he's a down to earth guy.

 

Along that same line, I got a chance to hang around CJ Spiller one night here in Canandaigua at the Inn on the Lake. He was there with a Bills front office guy (Ron somebody, also very nice) hanging out by the lake at a place called the SandBar after playing a golf tourney in the area. Super nice, all smiles, very patient with all the attention he was getting and the endless cell phone pics. We talked a lot about college ball because it was the day they announced the playoff system is coming to college.

 

Come to think of it, I don't think there are any standout jerks on this Bills team at all.
