Me too. I thought he'd gotten angry messages from Bills fans. The texts from other GMs were mentioned in this thread:

How would fans have Beane’s number to send those angry texts?

Exactly. Value is, to a certain extent, subjective; a commodity is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. It's okay to overspend a little to get what you really want, as long as you balance that by being somewhat frugal on things where, for your purposes, the more costly version isn't significantly better than the less expensive one.

 

e.g., I'll spend extra money on quality craft beers, but I'm cool with middle-of-the-road wines and liquors.

I hear ya on the cocktails, but when did we all get duped on the four pack of beer for $13.99, the four pack of beer is a crime against humanity, jmo, 😁

Maybe Shakir can have a career at least half as successful as another guy drafted in the 5th…Stefon Diggs.

How much did it cost to fly all Shakir's friends and Family to Pensacola?

Rich Eisen #1 sneaky Draft Pick

Have always thought well of Rich Eisen.  He does not pad shows or do hype.

Wide receiver drafted in the 5th round

6'0" 190 lbs

"Doesn't possess the strength or long speed to make a living as an outside receiver, but he can be an extremely effective weapon from the slot as a pro, turning short third-down throws into first downs. He can make things happen when he has the ball in his hands and could become a consistent, productive weapon for the right offensive coordinator."

 

 

 

 

This is Stefon Diggs' draft profile. It's eerily similar to Khalil Shakir's. 

Very similar size, speed, production, and character.

damn you got me here, thought it was Shakir's !!! well played

[Let's Go Buffalo]

He was definitely one of the "steals" of the draft in my opinion.

Fascinating comp. Diggs really was a YAC monster in college.

I don’t get why people were so angry.  He was drafted in Round 5…there were multiple attempts to draft him

Expand  

Maybe opportunities would be a better word. The first attempt would have been successful.

He is a witch, but he's our witch.

Wtf?

This sounds like other GMs were being playful.  It is like a fraternity.  I bet they give each other hard time in a mostly friendly way. 

[machine gun kelly]

I don’t think Beane or McD and every GM and HC in the league gets angry comments.  It’s surprising Syracuse thought this was newsworthy.

Weird for the writer to not give any examples of what was said, just "people were upset".

Expand  

 

 

That's all the info Beane gave.

 

The writer couldn't just make up some texts 'cause it would fit his story.

 

And from what Beane said, rueful would have done just as well to describe the texts as angry or upset.

Couldn't have been Belicheat. He has no clue what to pick at WR.

Plus, with T9 texting, he’d still be typing that message out.

I read "text" but my brain thought "tweet."

That's why I said "overpay a little." I won't pay $12+ for a 4-pack, but I won't complain if I get one for Father's Day.

[Magox]

Shakir is viewed as a slot receiver and sometimes you can find slot gems to slip in the draft.  Shakir will end up being a solid quality pro in this league for years to come.

It’s not that the beer isn’t tasty, on the contrary, it’s generally good, but  ya know, like all beer it’s supposed to be good, its the quantity per dollars that is askew, imo it’s just a money grab, for a fancy label art considering what the ingredients of various beers actually are. Yes, admittedly I’m ranting a bit, 😂

He and Schoen did to each other.  They kept calling the other person when one was in the middle of a live interview.
