K-9 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Dude needs to get some snaps with the starters before anyone gets too excited. Still better to play good against the B team than to stink against them. True, it would be good to measure him against first string OLs. But his reaction time off the ball isn't related to who's lined up against him. Post snap, by all means; it's a whole different game vs. better players. But if there is a quicker guy off the ball on our team, I'd like to know who that is. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yes. It is too soon. Too soon to make a reference to a character played by Robin Williams? Seems like the internet is replete with references to his work this week. What exactly do you find offensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsoldier54 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Says the man with the yellow squirt gun pasting JBJ's face. So you're saying making a joke about pissing on Bon Jovi is the equivalent of making a joke about someone who committed suicide less than 24 hours ago and who was loved and admired by millions of people? Sorry I don't see the correlation, but I am changing my avatar immediately since you find it so offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yep. The Bills started calling Robey in the fifth round, saying they were thinking of drafting him. Henderson kept calling him and basically won him over. That's why he signed with the Bills after it was over; he thought they showed the most interest and he would have the best opportunity. I heard him talk about it on GR in the offseason. Henderson really did a great job of recruiting. Henderson seems to be a great coach. The Players love him. We got good results last year (outside of Justin Rogers who to me has always sucked). Pettine really wanted him and Marrone/Whaley wouldn't let the Browns talk to him. Probably helped Aaron Williams tremendously. This is one of my favorite pieces of this team. Don't forget McKelvin and Searcy improvement.good post Kelly . Pleased to find out Bills recognized his talent and the pursued him. So now the Bills recognize talent and then actually develop it ? And its not just players .

C'mon man if you can't see how referencing Mork from Ork, not in tribute, but in a mocking manner on the very day the man died is offensive, then it is pointless to have this conversation. It was in poor taste and I think deep down the OP knows it. I'm offended that Jauronimo is offended that xsoldier54 is offended.

I would not compare the rest of the world to the Character of this board Jauronimo .I might guess the idea behind respecting Robin Williams unfortunate end of life is that with anyone, a moment or period of silence is to be expected . a thoughtful time for retrospection .

Kelly the Dog Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 If anyone could have appreciated gallows humor and making immediate inappropriate wisecracks after tragic events it was Robin Williams. Ain't too soon. It's over. It's tragic. Some people make jokes. He would be the last person to be offended by jokes at his expense. Unless they are just bad jokes. Poor guy. RIP. Troubled soul. But jokes are fair, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a time that was too soon to make a passing reference to the deceased it was officially declared over well before this afternoon.

I find your post to be sanctimonious bull ****. Dude made an innocuous reference, and as soon as he did I knew a self-righteous !@#$ or 2 would chime in with their moral outrage. Plus, did you know the man? Did y'all hang out? Or did you just like characters he played on TV? Do yourself a favor and grow up.

I have feeling that an omission of those two words would have resulted in no response, whatsoever. Exactly. So as I've theorized "too soon" is offensive to some. They didn't react to what was actually written. They saw "too soon" and jumped at the chance to be better than someone on the grounds of the virtue of outrage. You could have written "Stand on the desk and give me a barbaric yawp! Am I going to hell for this?" and they would reacted the same way.

Benign statement: Boiled noodles, fried with pickle juice. Followed by: Too soon? Does that offend you? Why would it ever be too soon for a harmless statement?
