Tyler Dunne’s hit piece is free on his site

You all should read it now, a few years later. I found this particularly reassuring, for example:

 

“No wonder the team’s general manager, Brandon Beane, is cited as a force of good behind the scenes. Everyone who criticizes the head coach makes a point to paint Beane as the ultimate contrast and says the GM puts out more fires than anyone knows. Beane, conversely, is described as extremely personable. Coaches and players alike feel comfortable going to Beane with issues, which is rare considering general managers, by nature, should be cold and calculated. After all, GMs are the ones literally releasing players in their office.  

If there’s something Beane cannot tell a player, he’ll flatly say so. But he’s authentic. People sing his praises throughout the organization. 

“Beane is my favorite person on Planet Earth,” said one employee on the business side. “He is truly the best person in sports I’ve ever met in my whole life.”

Well we know it’s not Adam Henry who said Beane is his favorite person on Planet Earth. 
 

 

Most people say their parent/s or children lol

[Dablitzkrieg]

Im sure Beane or someone close to Beane is the source

Sorry that doesn’t fit the narrative of today especially from local media.  They all claim Beane is the Boogeyman. 

[Buffalo716]

This sounds like damage control lmao

 

Beane is so personable he literally went toe to toe with radio hosts for a criticism that is valid 

 

Lmao this is the definition of desperate.. beane paid that dude 10k to write this 

 

That's what my sources say

 

FYI guys this is me ribbing because I'm sure most of this website is not happy with BB either lol

This was always weird as hell. Even weirder a few years later.

It was written a few years ago so definitely not damage control for what just happened.

Dunne has a NEW piece up. Here are some excerpts...

I get that I guess I had to put a disclaimer on that because I was ribbing 

 

But that is bb Love fest which I wouldn't buy from Tyler Dunn anyways

This literally sounds like the prose in the last couple of pages of 1984. 
 

Mind you, I have an open mind about all of this, but if Dunne thinks this is persuasive writing, he should ply his trade with Kim Jong Il.

Einhorn is Finkle. Beane is Dunne.

I don’t know him obviously but he really does come across that way. Especially when he’s on pat macafee show

This quote is from McDermott’s son, a Bills ball boy. Now you know the rest of the story!

He understands image control 

 

Yet he's probably the first one to throw everybody under the bus besides himself 

 

He doesn't ever show accountability.. he does say everything is okay he believes our wide receiver room is perfectly fine 

 

He probably believes we have a top three roster 

 

I would have much more respect if he came out and said I need to do a better job

It is hilariously blatant propaganda and an attempt by the writer to further ingratiate himself with management sources instead of player/coach sources. That’s his bread and butter (and, frankly, meal ticket) so chalk it up to how he plans to continue to make a living.

There’s a TON of McDermott support today. I’ve seen people on social media say they canceled season tickets. Others called it a “black eye,” and more wanted to rehire him. Trying to think if I’m living in a crazy dream. The 3rd and 11 quote is right. You have one job, McDermott. Do not let the Broncos convert those 11 yards, yet the player who caught the pass didn’t have a defender within 5 yards of him. That’s not lack of talent, that’s a coaching error. The wrong defensive call was made. I could’ve lived with a player getting beat for those 11 yards, but to have a guy wide open? It was a microcosm of McD’s time here and the firing was just.
