And they both worked for dirty old men who cheat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that Beane proposed a true, "show me," deal with no guaranteed money, but plenty of incentives. Absolutely zero harm, there, IMO. From what weve heard recently he may show something all right. Edited September 21, 2019 by formerlyofCtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Boy Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 7 minutes ago, NoSaint said: Meh. It’s all how you manage it. If you have good leadership one would hope our young players might learn what not to be from that exposure if the player is a train wreck. If you have a young and volatile group without positive leaders it can go terrible for sure though So, would AB in this locker room in the first two weeks been good or bad?

The Pat situation is completely different Right now, the Bills are ‘The Mighty Ducks’. The Pats* are the Charleston Chiefs in ‘Slap Shot’ - at least in terms of moral turpitude. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just stating that I was always confused by Beane having any interest in Brown whatsoever. Due diligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were some bad years... @Royale with Cheese Wait... in that order? Most people start listening to Nickleback, start drinking a lot, then get depressed that they listened to Nickleback. You, sir, inverted the process. Mind blown! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree there is nothing wrong with kicking the tires but every GM has to know what is good for his team. The benefit of dropping a time bomb into a young locker room like ours is a mistake that I don’t want to see. The Pat situation is completely different Yeah, the Pats are much more established and conditioned to handle such players. Its like they have a built in allowance system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were all in on AB (Kraft, Belicheck, Brady, the fans) until the story got too big and too bad. They get no points for anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerlyofCtown Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 2 hours ago, SirAndrew said: When the Brown trade didn’t happen there were dozens of conflicting articles regarding why he didn’t end up in Buffalo. Some of those articles stated that Rosenhaus wouldn’t even give the Bills Brown’s number because he knew Brown wouldn’t go there. In a phone call with Rosenhaus, Brown agreed that he had no interest in Buffalo. If this is the case, the financial aspect and whether or not Beane had dirt on Brown is irrelevant. Brown simply wasn’t coming here. Who knows what would have happened had he been willing to. Beane (who I do like as GM) now comes out smelling like a rose because of it. Unless Brown said that to save face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
