It's in My Blood Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I saw his tweet yesterday and was gonna post it. I love it. Stevie speaks his mind and is clearly fed up with the smack down the Pats lay on us each year. We need more swag like that on this team. Im sick and tired of all the feel good stories and loveable loser mentality thats been the Bills of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegasbillzfan42 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I just love the fact that Stevie hates the Pats as much as the rest of us Billsmafia members!! Maybe he should have put the picture of Belichick looking like the dark lord from star wars. NK would be morre likely to actually do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Shades of Thurman. I like the humor, love the chip on his shoulder. It's nice to see Stevie takes some ownership of the record before he arrived; team guy. Humor is the key word here. This is totally a non-issue. For USA Today to run with it is ludicrous. It was a tongue-in-cheek comment by Stevie, nothing more than a joke on his part. It wasn't meant to be taken seriously. The 'PC Police' who jump him for this need to chill out. There's nothing funny about what's going on in North Korea but people use humor as a coping mechanism to diffuse tense situations all the time. Either you like Stevie or you don't and those who don't will look for any and everything to use against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 It used to be that we could say certain jokes & comments in private and different (pc) things in public. Social media changes that in a sense because people often treat social media as if it's private and all too often what's said there becomes public. Social media by its very nature is more intimate, more "real," than a press conference. If we're sitting with a group of guys at a restaurant and one of them made the 'Nuke Foxboro' comment, it would be no big deal. We'd understand he was joking. Even if we didn't appreciate the humor, I don't think we'd condemn the guy. I don't think we should condemn Stevie for this. He's just having fun being Stevie.

davspo Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 "Why so serious" "Happy New Years" why work out in the off season. making fun of war and bombing an American city. This is all fun and funny if you are winning. But Stevie you have proven to be a mediocre reciever an on a very poor team. How bout positng something that is not controversial and good for the team. How bout being a leader (you are certainly overcompensated for it). It will be interesting to see if Marrone actually has the testicals to deal with this jackass. Again, as long as this guy is on the team they will be under .500. And btw the tweet is a subtle admission that you (Stevie) feel that this team cannot beat the Pats- what a funny boy- "why so serious", because year after year we support this team and the team fails to deliver. So yes, you should be serious and you should understand that if you were on most other teams your behavior would not be tolerated. Seriously, what a loser this guy is.

Kelly the Dog Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Seriously though, I hate nuclear bombs as much as the next guy. But, um, if you HAD to choose, Foxboro would really be a good place to start. Stevie's not advocating bombing Foxboro, he's just saying if we HAD to accept a nuclear bomb, and there was no way around it, why not there? Where it could do the world, and the country, and the NFL and the Bills the most good. I think we should be applauding his sensible, forward thinking.

JPS Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) If I were the Bills GM, I'd put a "no twitter" clause in every contract. It was truly a stupid comment that brings attention to #13 (again) for the wrong reasons. I could care less what he says, but THEY do care.
