Like politics, it has it's own forum and if you did deal with Andre on a personal level, you just might be violating professional ethics, understand? *face on desk* I shouldn't be upset with you, for all I know, English could be a second language for you. Let me break this down into simple terms for you: Andre Reed is a jerk. A self-important, entitled, arrogant, egomaniacal jerk. Has nothing to do with BUSINESS. I lived in his hometown, and had occasion to interact with both him and his family multiple times. And in 100% of those interactions, I witnessed him being a complete jerk to people for no good reason. Period. I get it, you don't like the truth about your idols. But it is the truth.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 no need to get all bent out of shape because some of the younger cats want to move on from the old guard. hell, I don't agree with him/them, they'll always have a place in bills franchise history but getting mad and frustrated or feeling insulted isn't the way to go. I'll always admire JK's strength in battling cancer and for his leadership on the field and as far as andre being a prick, eh, who cares. he doesn't sit at my dinner table so he can be all he wants to be and it shouldn't be a reason to discard him or any of the others. what they did on the field is all that really matters and even though they won no sb title, they still dominated the afc for a few seasons and were fun to watch. time to let go of the old guard and welcome the new. I can only hope this new guard can achieve as much, or maybe more? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Levy video doesn’t belong here... and the shot at Talley in an early reply was despicable... Disappointed with this thread... You seem to be of the opinion that the, because they are well compensated, moderators should be here 24/7 & that they should view every post as soon as the poster hits submit reply. That's really hard to do. You know what the real shame is here? The real shame is that we're paying monthly dues and we don't have a report function so that we can quickly and easily alert a moderator to a possibly offensive post. Thank the Baby Jesus that we can reply in a thread to B word publicly. That does make us feel better about ourselves. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have, and it wasn't pleasant. And I'm not the only one here who's had that experience. Also, you realize that grown-ups are allowed to have different opinions, yes? Vorpma seems unhinged...

Gugny Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 1 hour ago, Joe in Winslow said: Because, in the end, they didn't win a title. And yet, they act like they did. And some of them, like Andre, are just garbage human beings, that's why. Don't have to agree with it, don't care if you do. The old guys are like an albatross around the necks of the new guys. Bills need to move on as a franchise. I have to agree with Joe, here. These guys from the failed 90s teams are basically saying, "we're the best you've ever had so you should appreciate us and bow!!!" I say BS. You couldn't win ONE MOTHER ***** SUPERBOWL???? OUT OF FOUR????? They opine when no one asks. They act like they're the best thing since sliced bread. But in the end .... all they did was lose. Silver medals are nice. We want gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I didn't say to damn anyone if you go back and read what I read. I just don't think that we should worship them as if they're Gods. Most importantly, they have nothing at all to do with the success, or lack thereof, of the current team - so their unsolicited opinions mean nothing to me. I'm sure they're all wonderful people. Am I upset that they couldn't muster one win out of four? You betcha. But I wish no one any ill will. Work on your comprehension skills.

I am confounded by your remarks. I thought you were a more socially liberal guy. You don't seem like a "gotta win at all costs or you aren't worth anything" kind of person. Second best is sometimes better, right? Why can't you rally around: He wants to dream like a young man With the wisdom of an old man. He wants his home and security, He wants to live like a sailor at sea. Beautiful loser, where you gonna fall? You realize you just can't have it all. He's your oldest and your best friend, If you need him, he'll be there again. He's always willing to be second best, A perfect lodger, a perfect guest. Beautiful loser, read it on the wall And realize, you just can't have it all. ...you can't have it all, you can't have it all, Oh, oh, ... can't have it all. He'll never make any enemies, He won't complain if he's caught in a freeze. He'll always ask, he'll always say please. Beautiful loser, never take it all 'cause it's easier, faster when you fall, You just don't need it all Oh, oh, ... you just don't need it all.

They were first in the AFC four years in a row. Never has been duplicated... So I guess they earned "God's gift to the world." Title. Teams that beat them never earned that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
