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...

I think the issue with print journalism is more the medium than anything. Newspapers made most of their money from local advertising and a smaller amount from subscriptions. People aren't getting news from newspapers, when they can get news easier and quicker from online resources. I think the whole Buffalo Blitz subscription is a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I don't know. Everything he said looks fine to me. Graham is one of the most interesting twitter reads out there, though I say this as a person who spends very little time on twitter. But he's consistently interesting and funny whenever I don end up checking in for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the extent of the "evisceration". Pretty much. Only I bet a thread wasn’t started about it somewhere. 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...

And engaging consistently isn't a bad strategy on social media, looked at from a corporations POV, like the Buffalo News. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Tim Graham, Jerry Sullivan & Bucky are the reason I don’t pay to read the Buffalo News Bills coverage. 3 Stooges. I will get my news elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
