FluffHead Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) @ByTimGraham: Odd story on Buffalo Bills web site says Doug Marrone has "BLANK TYPE OF CANCER" http://t.co/mZmb7UzCgS @ByTimGraham: To be sure, I went to Bills official site, searched "Marrone" and "Cancer" and that was the story that came up RT @AaronNagler Is that real? Hopefully this is some type of cruel hack job Edited April 23, 2014 by FluffHead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaJoe Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Maybe shooting BLANK? Prostate cancer is common and treatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 The article is not loading now. I wonder if the bills site was hacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 It appears the article has quickly been taken down. For those who didn't get to read it, the article stated that Doug Marrone has announced he has "BLANK TYPE OF CANCER" and that it is very treatable and "not aggrivive". The typo is a quote. This was on the Bills website written by Anna Stoltzenburg. Hope it's not true. But they do write these things in advance of making them live on the website.

Dirtbag Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 But they do write these things in advance of making them live on the website. yeah, i think that they accidentally released the mock-up of the article. they were probably deciding how much detail to add (i.e., whether or not to add the specific type of cancer). hopefully the site was just hacked, but that doesn't seem very likely.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Seems like it is a mock-up of an article to be released. Talk about a rough few months for the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 some media starting to pick up on this including deadspin and brent axe at syracuse.com. If true my prayers are with Doug and family. What a terrible offseason for the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrb2590 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hope this isn't true. Both for marrones sake and for the fact I went to high school with Anna and if this was her fault it's a fireable offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills1218 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Already up on Deadspin with no official comment from the Bills. Nice to see they're handling this crisis (whether health-related or just caused by some intern posting a template by mistake) with their trademark grace and poise under pressure. Hope this turns out to be a false alarm, but in the era of Twitter and Facebook, it's malpractice for the Bills to wait on getting the facts out.
