BillsBytheBay Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Moats is a great person, and gets a little better every year IMHO. I hope he sticks as a spot player for a long time. Good luck Friday Moats! Edited August 15, 2013 by JaxBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt in KC Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Great story! I love hearing about players using their power for good. (Truth, justice and the American way!) Edited August 15, 2013 by Matt in KC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair GM Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Not to often do you hear these players be aware of being in a "position of privilege." Moats = good dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsoldier54 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Really good to see. The good guys rarely get the media coverage. It's usually the ones that are doing something stupid. Kudos to Arthur Moats for being a good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Haven't read the linked article yet but I will. That said, Arthur Moats will ALWAYS be a favorite Bill for me because he knocked Brett Favre out of a game and ended that consecutive games played streak. Not celebrating BC's injury, but if that streak had to end, I'm glad a Bill is connected to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Tying this in to football, I find it interesting that Moats is apparently Kiko Alonso's primary backup (for those who haven't heard, Alonso's being held out of tomorrow night's game because between practices and the games, Marrone feels Kiko's racking up too many reps and needs a rest). Arthur has yo-yoed back and forth in his career between outside and inside. He's quite a versatile football player but I was a bit surprised to find that he's the primary backup to Alonso.

Nanker Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Personal update: I just clicked the link and read/saw the story. Woo-Hoo! That man has character. I like him all the more. So happy he's a Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I am so rooting for this guy to make the squad. I hope he can find a home at MLB, but I have my doubts. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'm getting sentimental as I grow older. Almost had tears in my eyes. Great story. Moats has his head on straight: "I was so honored to meet him because he risks his life each day to keep us safe. He’s always served the country (with 21 years in the U.S. Navy) and the community. It was really emotional and felt really good to know that a small step of kindness meant that much to him... People think that it’s such an honor to meet us football players, but the real honor is meeting them." http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Moats-sends-healing-text-message/9c443889-22d3-44c4-9e3a-97498a35e0a8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been 3 great moments in my life. The birth of my daughter, pride from my parents and honor from someone you would never expect it from. These are just some of the little things in life that mold you as a person. Great to see Arthur being a humble person that knows it's not "all about me".
