C.Biscuit97 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Screw him. The guy called Mario a loser on air this summer. MW is superior to JS in every form of life.

PromoTheRobot Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 It was a very nice article. I'm even willing to look past him bringing up out past failures after big wins.

TXBILLSFAN Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Sully bores me --- the article was dancing in the wind, like every week --- he always tries to "tweak" the players by bringing up comments from the coaches, trying to play gotcha --- I would love to go back and read the crap he wrote in the early 90's while watching the greatest run ever by a Bills team --- I heard players use to call him Mr Negative in the locker room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 How's Mario's judgement of women? The guy fell in love with someone and you are holding that against him. I remember when I saw her on his initial visit, I thought he must really love this woman because she was not exactly a trophy wife. He even brought her to Buffalo to make sure she would like living in Buffalo (or wherever else he signed). Rather than hold it against him, I actually admire the guy. She clearly turned out different from what he had expected, but let he who has not made a mistake with choosing a girlfriend etc. cast the first stone.

PastaJoe Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Jerry tells it like it is with the Bills and Sabres, not how people wish it was. It's refreshing to have an objective view, not like the puff pieces the networks run because they're afraid to upset the leagues they broadcast.

YoloinOhio Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Just read it - GREAT article. And I literally laughed out loud at this line about when EJ saw SJ wide open in the endzone on the final drive: Hardened cynics wondered what might possibly go wrong. A drop? A penalty? The ground opening up and swallowing Johnson? I KNOW there were fans thinking that something would have had to go wrong, there was no way it could actually end on the right side of things. And don't say you didn't think something might go wrong on the PAT. Or that the Panthers would do something with the final 2 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdog1960 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 i was wondering if a thread would begin on this. when there was good stuff to write about it, he wrote about it. it's not his fault that there hasn't been any for a very long time. hopefully he'll have more to write about and yall will probably like him alot more. and does it take a saint to write about a saint or a villain to write about a villain? there were some very famous and accomplished writers that were well known a$$holes: hemingway, anyone? comparing sullivan and williams as people is just silly and i suspect based on very little knowledge of either.

Webster Guy Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I think Sully loves the Bills and wants them to do well. He's just cynical and sick of covering the same old story year after year. Schopp is the same way. These guys are tired of their jobs and talking about the same stuff for so long, and never getting a playoff shot. Jerry isn't my kind of guy, I'm an optimist and I don't hangout with or read stuff by the negative doom and gloom people. I prefer reading posters on this site vs guys like Jerry.

mrags Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Just got finished reading the article. Was very nicely done IMO. I also agree with the poster that said everything was spot on except the part where he said that Newron had outplayed him until that last drive. If anything it was about even.

HankBulloughMellencamp Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 X2 I hate him even getting clicks and it seems he has taught Bucky his "formula" F them both. x3 During the Carolina game, shortly after Mario registered his 4th sack of the day, Jerry was quick to offer via twitter that "FWIW, Byron Bell is considered one of the worst tackles in the league." Proves to me that he quite enjoys being a douchebag ... and the subtweet responses he got via twitter from Bills fans were quite amusing. One tame article won't Sully my disdain for his lazy writing and glass half-empty, hindsight-based opinions. Members of the chain crew know more about football than he does.

boyst Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 By telling it like it is Jerry simply offers an opinion not necessary I try to practice and often fail: Thoughtful Helpful Intelligent Necessary Knowledgeable Before I speak Jerry wants the bills to succeed like he wants his cold sore to go away. He didn't like what it is when he got it and he just wants it to go away but he can't because he knows he will get it again. The only problem is he keeps scratching it. JS is a cold sore and only bothers you when he is inflamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
