Does she work at The Heart Attack Grill?    The beatings those women give you if you don't finish the burger are no joke.

Worked at Soho back here in Buffalo, but I have no idea where she works out there. I'll bet her social media lays it out.

I could only imagine that if this board started cancelling posters for dumb misogynistic comments, what percentage that would be, let alone the people on this thread flaming away.

 

I’m no fan of Sullivan’s brand of journalism and his comments were silly but the delight so many of us feel in others’ destruction is bizarre to me.

 

 

 

 

But he's been SUCH a heel for decades. Regularly basking in the afterglow of Buffalo sports fans' heartbreaks. 

 

And if losing his current employment(s) is akin to his "destruction," then he should have been less of a public doosh. Should have been smarter. Again, he was legally allowed to say these things. And now he's dealing with the consequences. That's how adult life works.

He sucks at his job. Clearly the latest incident was just an excuse to dump him.

Cut him some slack, people. He's probably salty about his daughter's very visible work out in Vegas. Seems like the uptight type who might let this kind of thing gnaw away at him, and then take it out on a family pet, or Josh Allen.

You have no idea but you brought it up like you know all about it.

 

Very small of you.

 

She's a burlesque dancer at a big casino.   Big deal. :rolleyes:

I have no problem with what she does. I DO have a problem with what HE does. And I'll bet such a petty, vindictive twirp is in part dealing with domestic indignities (to his mind, not mine) that fuel his weirdly personal attempts to rile the org and its fans.

I think he was called out under this regime and he was basically like "The media is also part of the team and it can be our job to inspire the team through our criticism". Basically he is an arse and when the team fails he goes "seeeeee I told ya so" and when he is wrong he says "good thing I was a total piece of poop to you. If I wasn't you might not have played with such anger and vitrol to prove me wrong!". 

lol, I forgot he said that

We can say that about men too, at least the football part, not the ridiculous paragraph about women marrying poorly, but how many on this site or just general male fans have a man crush on Josh or Milano... look how so many just loved so many players over the years to the point of being emotional about them. Your comments are just as bad a Sullivans, just that he's been obnoxious for about 30 years in buffalo.


whats wrong with liking Allen or Milano ?

I have video and a bunch of pics from the time I went somewhere. I finished my meal but our waitress(Lola maybe? She was prob best waitress I've ever had) begged to paddle me. Of course I agreed. Out comes the entire roster of waitresses and a couple that were interviewing. The "OOOOooos" from the other customers had me dying. My brother didn't finish his meal and only got one hit. Good thing we walked from the strip because I couldn't sit for a while. The food coma had my brother out for 16 hours.

Regardless of what you feel about Sullivan as a reporter/columnist (he’s covered the Bills for what, 30 years?), it’s kind of sad and pathetic seeing so many people celebrating the cancellation of a guy for one offensive comment…i just can’t get behind it.  I guess that’s what our society has come to, though.


Not really.   The guys been embarassing for a decade

He's admitted many times that he is just playing a role wrt the Bills.    When he was at TBN Carucci was the kissass, Felser was the "neutral" guy who would mix it up and Jerry asked the pointed questions.   When he writes about other things his approach is different.   But that's niche stuff.......like women's sports.......that never pays the bills and only a few nerds and pervs will miss. ;)  

 

Some overly serious people on here think that I must have domestic issues or something else and that makes me often critical of the team......and don't take any sh*t for it.

 

Simply isn't so..........the Bills are entertainment and I'm not superstitious.

I mean, I didn’t know him well, and I don’t want to be that guy who says, “yeah, you could tell all along.”  But living where I do, I know a lot of “country club nice” people who are well-mannered and friendly (as long as they get everything they want) but have troglodytic views and opinions.  

that certainly seems to be who he is.  once his wife's twitter account came to surface, there really wasn't much to say after that.

The pic won't open on my apple product for some reason.  

 

My tiny wife didn't finish her burger and they gave her a gentle paddling..........so I left a bite to get my love taps.........and this big angry southpaw comes out and gave me about 8 full-on, left-her-feet, blasts.    Yeah, the crowd was oohing.   Was burning for hours afterward.

What sort of punishment should he get for "crossing the line"?    This world has become so thin skinned.  

I wonder how many posters in this thread actually care about what he said against women, and how many just hate Jerry Sullivan for daring to criticize their beloved Bills when they were a league embarrassment, and figure this is their best shot to get rid of him for once and for all.

 

90% of the posts on this board are pure hate inspired, one way or the other.

 

Lots of posters spend ALL their time attacking other posters!  They don't even comment on the damned team or game of football.

Some of the posters who called for Sullivan to be fired have themselves posted worse jokes in this very thread and gotten no flak for it at all.  So yeah, I think it's safe to assume that this is really just a lifetime achievement award and all the "outrage" over his podcast is just cover for that.

I haven't posted on this thread till now.  I don't hate Jerry.  But a long time ago, I decided to stop reading him.  He never had inside information.  He never provided deep analysis.  He simply whined.  Of course, there was a lot to complain about during the drought.  Some of his criticisms were accurate.  But even when the Bills beat a more talented team, he'd find something to complain about.  He could find a dark cloud even on the sunniest of days.  I didn't find his writing to be either educational or enjoyable.  So I didn't bother with him.  

 

As for what he said about women, it was clearly misogynistic and an offense to many good female Bills fans who deserve better.

Sullivan isn't poster, he's a paid journalist, who holds himself in high regard.  And people don't hate Sullivan because he says mean things about the Bills.  They dislike him because he is lazy and sloppy in his work.  

 

Take that question to Allen about not looking like a Super Bowl offense after the Jets game.  The question ignores the obvious fact that the Super Bowl is two months away.  It ignores that the Jets probably have the best defense the Bills will face this season.  It ignores history, where the Bills offense struggled in December last season against Carolina and Atlanta, but still lit it up in the playoffs.  It wasn't a well researched question.  It was a trolling question meant to rub Allen's face in expectations when he didn't perform as well as Sullivan (who knew nothing about the Bills gameplan) thought he should have performed.  It was a question wrapped in an insult, and Allen expertly and deftly answered to avoid being caught up in Sullivan's energy-vampire shtick.

 

Turn to Sullivan appearing on that low-rent podcast.  Sullivan is asked a question that he considers insulting.  Unlike Allen, who refused to take the bait when asked an insulting question, Sullivan (the media professional) jumps in whole hog.

 

The question was posed by a person named Amy.  Does Sullivan dismiss the question by saying, sorry you feel that way Amy?  No.  Does he try to give insight to his journalistic methods? No.  Does he treat Amy as an individual? No.

 

In response to a question/comment criticizing him, Sullivan attacks ALL WOMEN.  He doesn't justify his critical journalism  methods (you know, why it's important to ask athletes if they believe they embarassed themselves), he instead identifies the problem is with women. 

 

So to answer your question why people hate Jerry, Jerry would answer that the reason is women be cheerleaders who don't understand journalism.  But the truth is people dislike Sullivan because he is sloppy and lazy and tries to shock rather than inform.  And this recent incident indicates that he is misogynistic, arrogant, hypocritical, and lacks self awareness.  These are are traits that hurt his claim of being a serious, critical sports journalist.

Dear Santa,

I've been a good boy and loyal Bills fan all my life.

Can you put her in my stocking (or she can bring her own) for Christmas?

For all intents and purposes, Sully became irrelevant the day the Drought ended. He fought the good fight for all those years, but with Ralph and all of his Stooges gone, he no longer mattered.

 

I wish he never would’ve apologized though, that was a sign of weakness. He’d been better off quoting Mick Jagger after Jesse Jackson was offended with the title track of the Some Girls album: “If you can’t take a joke, it’s just too f###### bad.” :thumbsup:

There are people today spouting far worse stuff than Stern (or Sullivan, for that matter) ever said and they're still on the air. Why? They have an audience, and that attracts advertisers. When people decide they don't want to listen to it anymore, they stop, the advertising dollars go away, and the show is canceled. Such is the way of commercial media, and has been ever since its inception.

 

When a show is canceled, it's a business decision. Always has been.

For starters Sullivan was jokin' around on a podcast, lets not be so sensitive and look to be offended at everything

 

He was the only guy left in the local media that was any good. The rest of them are just straight ass-kissers and if we're being honest, completely unqualified...

 

Sal Capaccio is a great example. Huge kiss ass and his background is in like teaching kindergarten or something, he's not a journalist. Guys like him should be the ones getting fired

 

 

ok, Jerry.

This. He's always just been a whiner with nothing valuable to add. Seemed like he would be fine to get along with in person if just talking about normal things outside of the Bills.

 

People comparing him to radio hosts like Stern is comparing apples to oranges, IMO. A radio show has a template that's supposed to be funny and provocative, but they make that clear and they differentiate the off-color jokes on their show from the values they actually do promote. It's also like a comedian, like Dave Chapelle on stage.

 

That is not Jerry Sullivan. As far as I know, that's also not the purpose/template for the show, but I could be wrong.
