CDogg20 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Asked him 3 ?'s 1 - Asked him what he thought the Bills would do in the draft. Answer - "I really have no idea. I've never fancied myself a draft insider. Even if I were, you never can trust anything you hear this time of year." 2 - How does he feel about the mcD hire Answer -" Too early to say. Sounds like he has the football office highly organized and focused." 3 (An ongoing debate between a friend and I) Where would he rank shady among the group of rb's in the league? Answer - "Top 5 for sure." He's a really nice guy, good knowledge. Wish we didn't chase him away from here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Cthulhu Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Good stuff. I love TG on twitter - he gets a lot of salt thrown his way but very entertaining. No mention of Whaley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDogg20 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 It was a very quick exchange, next time I talk to him I will be sure to ask him. Can't pepper him with ?'s. Wanna make sure he's not sick of me in case I have more haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I like TG. He and Wawrow are the only two local Newspaper guys worth anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy's great until you question or challenge him...very much a "I know more than you and I want to make sure you understand that" type of guy, which is why I don't like him. He seems to respond to people based upon what he perceives they can do for him, which reflects poor character. I don't get the same impression from Wawrow at all.

Malazan Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 did you ask him why he's so angry? he may just need someone to talk to...no, instead your selfish arse just asks football questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Poster Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Most of these guys are nice in person. Not very surprising how explosive they are in the media: its part of the jig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised you didn't ask about Whaley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I hope you're right as long as we trade down and not up Bills have to trade down and if they don't trade down again with that pick, this whole draft is a disaster. In fact, they need to keep trading down so they have all the 7th round picks and can select 32 qbs. One of those is bound to be a franchise guy.

Surprised you didn't ask about Whaley.It was an online interaction, I pmed him and he was kind enough to message back instantly. I really should have asked because TBD is so torn on him but honestly I didnt even think about it because I like DW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not like it's hard to write bad things about the Bills. I know some people here can't handle it, but it's the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It was an online interaction, I pmed him and he was kind enough to message back instantly. I really should have asked because TBD is so torn on him but honestly I didnt even think about it because I like DW. Didn't TG already post that he initially thought Whaley would get 2017 but after the Sabres housecleaning he felt the mood had changed? IMO if McWrestler is the least bit unhappy with the FO give him the GM and scouts he wants and let them live or die as a package. One of the problem the Bills have faced is diluted accountability: "it's Marrone for not using the players he has" "it's Whaley for not giving him the right players" "it's Rex for not making use of the players he has" "it's Whaley for not giving him the right players" "it's Whaley for criminally mismanaging the salary cap" "wait, it's Brandon's reporting line through Overdorf that handles the salary cap" I personally think Whaley has some chops as an NFL personnel guy and has gotten a bit of a bum rap with the way the Bills FO has been structured and the coaching changes, but I'm sick of this diluted accountability sh**. Bring in someone McWrestler likes if he doesn't like Whaley, put all the eggs in one basket then see how that basket goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to respond to people based upon what he perceives they can do for him, which reflects poor character. I don't get the same impression from Wawrow at all. He came into my job one day when he briefly transitioned to being a journalist rather than a sports reporter for the News and asked me some questions regarding what was going on in the area, etc...seemed like a cool enough dude but he made sure to let me know I've probably read some of his sports columns, etc...came off kinda self-absorbed honestly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
