Green Lightning Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 As has been noted here in this thread, Jerry is dealing with a family illness and you consider this a time to pile on with some cliched drivel. That's lower than low. Evidently, you have no shame. jw Not a huge Sully fan but as JW notes, he has a personal life and needs to attend to family. Stand down and show some class. Hope all turns out well Sully so we can spar again about a column! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know him and I am sure he is a nice guy and I would never wish ill on him or his family. I came here to discuss his latest Bills article on MArio Williams, his personal fridge in his locker and his lack of media appearances during the week, as is common in his columns, Jerry complains about countless things and it seems like he is upset that he doesnt get the chance to ask MArio more questions throughout the week, a luxury afforded to many players in the league. I also didnt appreciate his treatment and questioning of guys playing with injuries, one second he is calling the guys "warriors" playing through the pain and then he questions Mario about doing it? So I guess because he is so highly paid he can not be a warrior in Jerrys mind. Well reading back the other JW is obviously an idiot, my apologies to Wawrow as he was just putting a half wit in his place Edited October 28, 2012 by cvanvol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This latest article seems dead on. It's his job to analyze all the facets of the locker room. Nobody can fault him for the product on the field. If all his articles seem negative, it's deservedly so. (Which wasn't the case at the beginning of the year.) What have the Bills given us to cheer about during the last 12 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eme123 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Jerry Sullivan lacks football knowledge. I do understand he is a columnist and gets paid to share his opinion. However, when you know nothing and deliver your opinions in an over aggressive, wise guy tone, you are going to rub people the wrong way. He rubs me the wrong way for sure. I don't read his columns and I turn him off when he's on the radio. Buffalo has a terrible crop of local coverage for the Bills in my opinion. I struggle to find decent analysis from anyone covering the Bills. I think Buscaglia does a good job on WGR giving information he sees with his OWN eyes after re watching game tape. Tasker and Kelso obviously provide alot of insight on the game. I cant stand it when people like Sullivan or Paul Hamilton pretend to know more then Joe Schmo Fan.

Well reading back the other JW is obviously an idiot, my apologies to Wawrow as he was just putting a half wit in his place You comments about Sullivan are basically my thoughts as well. I listened to him this morning on the WGR audio vault. The guy clearly is upset that he does not get to interrogate him more than twice a week (Wednesdays and game days). If I were Mario, why would I want to have to speak with Sullivan more than twice a week. All one has to do is listen to Sullivan's rants on WGR or the questions he asks after the games to realize that twice a week is more than enough. Clearly, Mario's performance rushing the passer has not been what we anticipated. Only Mario knows how bad his wrist is/was. If there is an issue with his wrist, it would affect his pass rushing. I suppose I should not be surprised that a keyboard jockey like Sullivan and others are questioning his manhood etc. or fixated on a refrigerator. Sullivan seems to be taking it out on Mario for not being able to talk to him on more than two days a week. I do not care about the refrigerator. I only care about his performance on the field. The fact is that Mario has played every game notwithstanding whatever is going on with his wrist. He has been ok (not great) against the run, and his pass rushing has not been what we expected. Now that he has had his procedure, we will see whether there is any improvement. In the meantime, I do not see the need to run him out-of-town as some seem to want to do. As for JW, I think that he does his job pretty well based on the articles that I have read. I do not always agree on his take, but he seems to be a straight shooter and does not seem to have the tired agenda that Sullivan and Bucky Gleason always seem to have.

HeHateMe Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 What positives has there been for a Bills fan the past 13 years? He writes what he sees and what most fans feel, disappointed by this organization. I frankly like the fact that he calls the team/organization out more often than not.
