Rigotz Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I’m surprised this hasn’t been posted yet. Great interview between DaQuan and Jim Rome: His two reasons for joining the Bills: - Opportunity to win a championship - Time to come home (from Johnson City, NY) This was a sneaky good signing. Like a more consistent Star Lotulelei. Won’t show up on the stat sheet but he’ll help stop the run, eat up blockers to free up second level rushers, and best of all has a history of being AVAILABLE. 11 1 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 A buddy of mine married a girl from Johnson City. That whole area of NY out near Albany feels like it stopped in 1978 or something. Everything felt so outdated when I went out there for their engagement party. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rented a rehearsal space for a band in Johnson City a few years ago at something called NY Penn Trade Center. One of the guys in the band was Breaking Benjamins former drummer. He lives in northern PA so we met halfway in Johnson City. It is an absolute scumhole, it's exactly as you described, it's like the land that time forgot. The toilet in the building looked like it hadn't been flushed in 30 years. I have pictures, but I'm sure you don't want to see them LOL. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 All the new guys we got from FA and the draft are high character guys. Exciting to see. We will leave the dirtbags for Cleveland 😉 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson City is just West of Binghamton, much closer to Scranton PA than to Albany. Binghamton/Johnson City/Endicott are called the Triple Cities. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Rochester or Erie or St Catherines/Hamilton or anywhere in Bills country. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen2Diggs Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I love the additions of DaQuan Jones and Tim Settle. I think it's an upgrade over Star Lotulelei, Vernon Butler, and Harrison Phillips (although he's great when healthy) 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a better player than that traffic cone Star Lotulelei...........but it's a bit rich having a player sign for a very surprisingly large sum and then have him act like this was just a passion project. Dude played on 1 year $4M contract in Carolina last year........had a lesser performing season than he had in 2020.........and then got a 2 year deal for $14M with $10M+ gtd. There wasn't any hometown or ring chasing discount........he is in Buffalo because he got PAID more in Buffalo than he was likely to be paid anywhere else.

(I kid, used to live in Vestal till mid 90’s, I think there was some sort of rivalry). Cool that he is a Southern Tier guy, not many in NFL or even D1.
