Beck Water Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I personally kinda feel he should concentrate on being the best player for the Bills he can be - it was great that Christian Wade was a fine drummer but would have rather seen him be a fine American football player. But maybe that's my inner Grinch talking....I know there are a fair number of guys on the Bills who are interested in music - Tim Settle I believe has a recording studio in his basement etc - and it is just OTAs, I suppose you can't live and breathe them 24/7 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 yeah if this was TX C I’d be more concerned. This is cool. Mike Piazza used to go to bars and play drums after games in San Diego (at least one time I was there). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) I think he can concentrate on being the best RB he can be while having someone plan a party for him. He’s a vet RB that’s in ridiculous shape. What else can he do? Athletes need to have past times. It can’t be football 24/7 He’s not married. He doesn’t have any kids. He’s a 26 year old, single multimillionaire. He’s trying to engage with the fan base for an evening and on social media….. you think he should concentrate 24/7 on football?

Cmon It's a valid point that his effort in planning said shredding session may be "call my personal assistant, give him a budget and tell him 'make it so' in which case, sure, it's a recreational activity equivalent to any night out. It's also a valid point that given two people of roughly equal talent, the one who is most obsessed with putting in the work will tend to go further, while the "part timer" may slide And I really do dislike when people do the straw man "you think..." projection thing. Given that I actually wrote "it is just OTAs, I suppose you can't live and breathe them 24/7", this seems lamer than the usual. 6 minutes ago, B-Man said: Fan Favorite ?

The two aren’t mutually exclusive the guy is single. No wife. No kids. No one is football 24/7- if he wasn’t trying to interact with the fans and exposing his past time on social media, he’d be doing something else in his free time and not announcing it on social media. It wouldn’t be football 24/7. That’s just not healthy for one’s mind imo. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I love it. I think that part of what makes the Bills franchise so special is the team's deep connection with the fanbase and community. I don't think that having a party in April will have any bearing on Hines' ability to be ready for the season. I'm an "old" guy with a busy job, a wife and kids, I don't play an instrument, I can't sing for sh*t, and I don't even live in the Buffalo area anymore, but what Hines is proposing sounds like a lot of fun, so I hope local Bills fans connect with him and have a blast doing this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s healthy to have a life outside of football - even better when it’s healthy outlets like Rockband instead of hardcore drugs and drinking. I’d encourage it honestly. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goin Breakdown Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Imagine if all we did was what we did as a professional. -At work I stock groceries, and at home I only organize and fill my cupboards. - At work I sell Cars, so at home I put sales signs on all my neighbors cars just cuz...ya never know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 That's definitely your inner grinch talking. OTA's are just workout programs. Even if it were Training Camp in pads, guys have to have some sort of break. Who cares what they do so long as it isn't getting into trouble? But then again.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that if a dude wants to have fun doing something else aside from football 100% of his time, then so be it. One day these guys will have a life that has nothing to do with ball. They shouldn't have to have this ridiculous standard put on them. But yes I took some liberties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
