The dude can ball but what an absolute head case. Doesn't he know he's only contributing to the "WRs are divas" stereotype??? McD did have to “talk to him” once during the summer. I cannot see him being too happy about having to address it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 3 hours ago, 416BillsFan said: These tweets might actually be the best thing for him financially. He's nearing the end of his playing career - the Bills would save save $4.5 million cutting him next year & that's including his cap hit. Not sure of that. Spotrac has $6.1M is cap savings. General impression with this whole mess is Cole needs to chill and chill now. If he can't be adult enough to stay off the Twitter then a trade or cut will just have to happen before next season. I love Cole on the team and at home I yell C-O-L-E! when he makes a catch. I don't care about his vax state but he is getting paranoid over this stuff. During the game I thought at first McDermott was yelling at Cole and then I said "no, he's yelling about the flag and play". Feliciano needs to stay out of this too. If he can't control himself he's not part of the "process". He is not helping anyone with his comments. That's $3.75M in savings if he can't. Sign Taron Johnson with the money if they can't control themselves! I'm starting to dig in with my opinion on this situation! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how fans don't want athletes to bring politics into sports, ie:kneeling, social media posts, etc. But it's OK for fans to shout political comments to athletes during games or in parking lot after game? Seems a bit hypocritical. This isn't directed at you, just a general response. I don't get worked up about anyone's beliefs, to each their own. But I do think it's wrong for anyone to come to a sporting event and try to stir things up, ie: booing our own players, comments to agitate, etc. Support our team, or keep your mouth shut is what I do. I come on here to complain, not at the games. But I guess some feel the need to go the extra mile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a video of Josh giving a kid his hat or something on his drive out after the WFT. The assumption I make is that Cole stopped along that stretch of road to sign and then got the harassing comments. Why is an unvaxxed player stopping to give autographs? I imagine that's against league protocols. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, it never gets talked about even for a second in any of the tailgate parties I have attended. People mostly don't care one way or the other. Bills fans love the guy and want them on this team because he is a great player. This is just my sense talking to fans here and there outside of this board, but I think it's not just a "handful of people on the board" who care about it. I suppose the crowd ya run with has an influence on perception. I think a better way of putting it would be: even for those who care about it and think it is unfortunate and wish he would change his views, most of us still recognize he's a helluva football player, love what he brings on the field, and want him on the team because of that. If I were at a tailgate in person, it would certainly not be on my mind or something I'd talk about. But when Beasley is at it again like he is right now, tweeting up a storm of misinformation about why (or why not) to get vaccinated, he does make it a little harder for me to remember what a great player he is. It's not like it's a deal to me what Beasley personally does. Like he says, he's getting tested every day. But others are not, and don't want to take other steps either like masking, and this is making life crappier in a lot of places for a lot of folks. Some people who don't have Covid are literally dieing right now because the ICU bed and the cardiologist they need are not available to them due to beds full of Covid cases, and how I feel about that isn't printable on this newsgroup. 5 1 2 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) So it sounds like Cole is aware most are cheering him, but got mad at some boo’ing and some talking ish about his stance. While I support Cole in his views on this, he needs to man down on the pity party. He clearly knows it’s just some idiot fans. Just like certain Brooklyn Nets fans will talk trash about Kyrie on Twitter and the cheer when he’s crossing people up this season. At least Cole plays for a fanbase in Buffalo and isn’t taking this overly vocal stance in a town full of microbrew drinking hipsters.
