BuffaloRush Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) I follow Tim Graham on Twitter and my timeline is exploding. Apparently, there is someone who works for the Jacksonville Jaguars in the finance department that went on Twitter and called out everyone who predicted a Jags loss. Anyway he saw Tim Graham's tweet about #Douggernaut and made a Bills related insult - something like "Bitter Bills fan? I get it, it's cold" and then said something like "If we lose in the Super Bowl, I'll give you a call (times four)" Anyway, Tim went off on this fool.

BringBackOrton Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Tim Graham acts like a thin-skinned hypocrite and child on his personal Twitter. It's gross to see a grown man be so miserable. Unsubscribe. PS: He's also not funny at all. He's an unprofessional jackal who can dish it out but not take it.

You see why Because he'll simultaneously act like a scorned 15 year old girl and miserable middle-aged man at the same time? Tim Graham is Tim Graham's biggest enemy, and everytime he does a spat like this, he looks worse than his target. He's the one who has to live with his reputation. I would rather call him out and have him (unfunnily) roast me on Twitter than have to wake up as him. And that's the God's honest truth. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) TG is a good journalist. He likes to start crap up on twitter. I am a fan of his writing but not his twitter account, which is why I don't follow him on twitter. Twitter fights like this get him attention, which I suspect he welcomes. Also, people who work in the FO of teams, as well as people who put themselves out to the public as religious should probably do a better job of representing their brand and their religion. It was ill-advised for that guy to start taking classless shots at the Bills franchise as a way to piss off a reporter who is admittedly not a fan of the team.

There were a small handful of posters (including a former well respected forum member, also a journalist, who shared some of TG's less than desirable personality traits) who defended him. Some of those folks left the board in "solidarity" with Tim. I will end this by saying that I agree with the earlier poster's comment regarding Tim being his own worst enemy. I think that extends to print journalism in general and is one of the reasons why newspapers aren't adapting to the times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been many former Bills players who have left in free agency, trade, or what not and the vitriol spewed is shocking!. Ok so you don't like the player before he left, we get that but to HATE him is beyond words. He committed no crime and played his best but he's not longer here. But there are those who have been involved in horrific "situations" and remain much beloved. Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
