stuvian Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 of his 14 years in the league, 4 were with Buffalo. He should be told it could be worse. In the CFL they add your name to the Tarp of Honour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s where he should’ve been on the sideline Call me crazy, but I’m betting that he could have been on the sidelines if he asked. I don’t know. A dude who’s received millions of dollars from the Bills gets a free luxury suite. And he’s whining on social media about it? To me, a long time Bills fan, Spikes isn’t a legend. He’s one of hundreds of mercenaries who has played for a losing Bills team. Just like Kelvin Benjamin, Tim Tuel, etc. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbillievable Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 This is good for the Bills. It may paint the PR team in a bad light, but the Team should push this narrative even more. It promotes the need for the new stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 The legendary Takeo Spikes? Bad box? THAT Takeo Spikes, the same guy who led us to a 27-37 record in four (count 'em, FOUR!) legendary seasons? Shame on the Bills. He should get a special field level cabin built for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I'm sure he got the same box that any other alumnus got and yet he's the only one to complain. I admit liked TKO when he was here but eh what the heck man? You got a free box and ticket to a game that most of us would love. Chose your battles, this one seems petty.

zow2 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Spikes may have thought by posting that, he and the alumni rift would get sympathy from Bills fans, Bills mafia, etc.. I guess not. No sympathy given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’s going to decline Takeo taking a spot in one of their suites! Also, it should be pretty common knowledge they’re building a new stadium as we speak. So the whole thing is kinda silly imo.

Yes, if you read the article, there seems to be a current from Bills alumni that they feel pushed away/ignored by the organization (including members of the AFL Championship worrying they are going to ignore the 60th anniversary next year). Spikes took it upon himself to publicize it a bit maybe and push the 'issue' to the forefront. Its enough where it got people talking about it and Bills executives had to/have to answer questions about it. I do think it is a bit of a low blow to be honest. I do get where they are coming from overall. Both Bills and Sabres alumni have been pushed to the backburner under this ownership. Honoring/remembering the past just doesn't seem to be a priority Edited September 28, 2023 by May Day 10 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
