Well, Josh is 27, so if I remember correctly (it's all a blur!) I think I may have done some of these things at that age ... Diggs is 29, and I think I remember that age pretty well, so I guess 28 was when I got my act together and started trying to create a sustainable work and home life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know Diggs was at OBD yesterday, he chose to leave and not work. He created a crapstorm media distraction by leaving. If he had not left, there would not be a circus of reporters gleefully producing "content" for the next 24 hours on the issue. Then his agent tried to deflect the blame for Diggs refusing to do his job on his coach stating he was concerned that the player didn't show up for work. Is missing a big deal as far as on the field stuff? One day is not. Is missing work a problem because he created a public issue? Yes. There is zero excuse for walking out. A conversation does the same as leaving the facilities and it doesn't carry a negative burden on his teammates. Diggs is a selfish dolt for creating this issue, Regardless of whether his grievances are correct, he took a personal gripe and passed the responsibility for dealing with it on to the teammates he is supposed to lead. His agent was right. Mcd made it worse. Diggs should have just practiced not trying to argue that. But obviously there is more to the story and McD made it worse.

The focus should be on getting him to channel that in a more productive way, not telling him he should care less...he wants to be great, and wants to win...I would much rather have that problem than players who are more interested in playing with remote controlled cars in the locker room. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFan Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 41 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Sal the brown noser is the king of this. This is actually hilarious. Sal C is not employed to provide objective analysis. He is employed to provide a fans perspective on the Bills based on his football knowledge and somewhat limited journalistic skills. He makes no bones about his fandom. He wears it on his sleeve. I actually find his reporting insightful at times and useful in understanding what is going in behind the scenes and anticipating moves the Bills might make, what they are thinking, etc. Why? The team and the players trust him with access. Every team and market has at least one guy just like this. If it is so called objective and critical analysis you are looking for, there are plenty of options nationally and , yes, also in the local media, whom are not all captive to the Bills. You can just check in here as well where there is certainly no shortage of people trying to sell you their opinions as objective facts. If you are expecting Sal to join the fire McBean chorus, for example, you are barking up the wrong tree. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
