That is useful. But earlier this month, we had some information that turned out to be accurate that a lot of posters lambasted just because someone claimed to have "insider info". The reason that I am sensitive about this is that I know someone inside One Bills Drive. Not about to ever divulge who it is, but I am sure to get all this crap whenever I ever share any insights. Let the stupid responses begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I think" does not equate to "as good as gone." You may not care, but if freester did speak to Engelhard, and Engelhard said that Henry will not be back in Buffalo, that is news. Henry is still under contract with the Bills at a very reasonable cap figure. If Bills don't get the trade they like, there's no real need to trade him. Thus, for an agent to declare that Henry will not be a Bill is more than rehashing innuendo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 From another message board (BZ) its being reported that NFL Total Access says Buffalo and Arizona have an agreement in principle that in essence trades Shelton to Buffalo and Henry to Arizona. This is also being reported on Sirius Satelite radio and the NFL Network. Sounds like it's pretty much a done deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachChuckDickerson Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hadley Englehard told me that there are many teams interested in Travis. He will definitely not be back in Buffalo next year. Arizona is very interested. He told me he could not divulge any further details at this time. Sorry I couldn't get anything more specific but he is pretty tight lipped until its all signed sealed and delivered. 249057[/snapback] I don't think anybody has a prblem with "insider information". Your bound to get flamed. The problem with a post like this is when your "insider information" tells you less than you already know. Another example of this could be: I spoke with TD today and he said they are looking to trade Henry and they have many interested parties. The question is how is this "insider info"?

Certainly, the internet is pretty well known for the rampant spreading of hoaxes, gossip, rumor and malicious lies. I think it is only healthy to take such posts with more than a grain of salt and when they are this transparent of an effort at self aggrandizement, the poster deserves the responses he gets. Really, Travis won't be a Bill and the Cards are interested in him? Duh. That is not insider info any more than is the prediction that the sun will rise tommorow.

Mike32282 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Oh yeah, well I got you beat. I spoke to Travis Henry's agent in October and he said that he's going to "!@#$ Buffalo" I even got to see him do a bowling ball shot and I have pics.

bobblehead Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 So, tell me, why you sarcastic jerks feel the need to lampoon whoever posts an insider claim. 249324[/snapback] There are too many people claiming insider information and everyone else is getting burned by it. It is also very difficult to confirm credibility, as well. Previous posts do not work, because people who just run crap up a flagpole, just to see it come through, end up being 'credible' that way. Example: I will tell you right now that Travis Henry is having an affair with David Hasselhoff, I cant divulge much more than that. They are tight lipped until its all sealed and delivered. Now, next week, if I pull out People Magazine, and see Travis and Hoff gaying each other on the front cover, then I just became credible, and people will be coming to me with all their NFL star/B-list actor scandal needs. And, as mentioned previously, people claiming insider information stating some vague, 5 minutes ago bit about Travis being shopped around, well, thats not really news and deserves to be flamed. Those are the two biggest problems, IMO. The only tried and true way to find credible sources is to find the people who know the people who are credible, like "Hammered Alot" He has contacts, he would know. There is no way to find these people than to just hang out here long enough and to learn a few things about the people here. Get involved in the community. If credible people are going to get 'run off', then I say the credible person never really cared about this place anyway, because you just have to know that if you try to post credible information and claim you are 'inside', there are going to be critics. If you really care about this place, you will stick around to get to know everyone, and your worth as an information source will eventually shine through.

freester Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 I sure have taken alot of abuse for my comments. I only repeated what Hadley told me. He is an astute agent who is not going to reveal confidential info at a sensitive time in negotiations. I am sorry that there was no new details, but what I printed is exactly what he said.

They aren't bitching because you didn't have breaking news per se, but because they cannot believe anyone actually talked to TH's agent. Most people have no idea how accesible these guys are.
