StHustle Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Mod Edit: Now announced: https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/eagles-great-lesean-mccoy-officially-announces-his-retirement?cid=Yahoo&partner=ya4nbcs As some may already know Im sort of an NFL insider, however, can rarely speak on things I know because of NDAs and all that. I will never be anyone's anonymous source. Anyway, LeSean is retiring and will be honored next week at the Chiefs @ Eagles game. I got the honor to be invited to the party and will post pics in this thread when the time comes. I thought this was already reported and was looking for a link to add in this thread before I realized it hasnt been announced yet. Probably because LeSean wants to remain "available" until the last minute in case the right situation crops up within the next few days. Whatever the case is, I got approval to speak on this as its not considered a big deal and the public announcement is imminent. I will also be attending the Eagles/Chiefs game 🤮 but sporting my Bills McCoy jersey as he will always be a Bill in my heart ♥️ 23 9 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills fan since 87 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Love the way his attitude changed once he got here. Shady always will have a spot in the mafia as far as I'm concerned 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Had a couple of great years for us. So strange how a RB's career can just fall off a cliff in the space of 1 season. Then again, he ruined The Avengers for so many Marvel fans so ***** him 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Hopefully one day he can lead the charge. As while he had bumps in his career here off the field, on the field he was as good as we could have asked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Round Bust Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) one example, of soo many, jock and the average person, who are negative about Buffalo and when they visit-live in the area, the attitude changes to the positive...I took some friends from the Wash DC area up to Buffalo the last time we hosted Washington as they wanted to sample the Bills home game day experience; needless to say the Bills are their second favorite team and enjoyed our people, food and football culture...but they said our 40 degrees has to be the coldest they have experienced example two...Jerry Glanville, long-time coach, told a story that when as assistant he took a job in Buffalo, that his wife was upset and cried over it, and when they left town for another job, that she was upset and cried about leaving Buffalo... so good luck to Shady, he was the last of our go-to-backs when running the ball was still a priority..

MarlinTheMagician Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I credit him significantly for the immense joy of the 2017 season, one of my favorite years. I will never forget that team - Shady, Zo, Kyle and Tyrod made something out of nothing with McDermott leading the way. I knew we had a bright future by the time I went to Jacksonville for that heartbreaking loss. Even walking out though, I knew better days were ahead of us. 💪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris heff Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Yeah McCoy is a swell guy. Who among us hasn’t abused restaurant employees and left a $.20 tip? Going to a strip club with some thugs who get into a fight with off duty cops shows pretty good judgment. Then there was the ex-girlfriend that he couldn’t get rid of who coincidentally gets roughed up and robbed. I think he should go up on the wall. 2 3 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their comment about the coldest 40 degrees ever is sadly quite true. I remember leaving home in the Rochester area that morning, and the same temperature felt significantly colder at OP. I’ve sat at many frigid Bills games, only to drive home an hour and a half down the road to experience the same temp being far more tolerable without the lake wind.

First Round Bust Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 and virtually no sun that day, slate-grey-Nov sky all day...add several hours of pre-game activity of eating-drinking and being merry, walking-around, throwing the ball around, waiting-in-line, then 3 hours of football watching...man we were spent... and if you want the Hammers lot experience, you can expect that lot to be full around 730 AM.

FilthyBeast Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Not really a surprise because at this point his only real option is signing as insurance on some teams practice squad. But at least he played in and won a couple SB's and he had some great years in Buffalo including being part of the drought breaking 2017 squad.

GoBills! Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I had him and Robert woods one week in draftkings and won over 12k, if the ran for like 5 more yards it would of been 20k.

While I wasn't vocal about it, I did think that in the sense Kiko was young and showed great potential. But I had zero issue with Shady the player, and he was exciting as can be, especially with Incognito making big holes for him. Just like I don't get so many "fans" hating on Josh because they thought the Bills should have drafted someone else. I supported him since the first second after he was drafted as why not ha ha. He is a Bills. And he has just made my take easier and easier. As for McCoy, I still am jealous of him doing a party where gals have to sign a NDA ha ha.

At least not now at this point. I mean it's been clear for some time now he was the correct pick. As for McCoy and that particular party with all ladies, when you're younger like he was sometimes a guy can handle any amount of women. I'm sure he had a great time for sure LOL.
