BigDaddy12 Posted August 20, 2004 Author Share Posted August 20, 2004 Without jumping to conclusions, just because the Bills' denied it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. My concern now focuses on the fact TH says "trade me" and he is villified on this board. WM says the same and it is discounted. This will end up being bigger than Flutie-Johnson ever was.

FanfromAlbany Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Yeah... I doubt this story is true... but I do wonder why Drew Rosenhaus wouldn't also deny it. The AP story says that he had no comment. Howard Simon says that his producer called and spoke to Rosenhaus directly who refused to comment at all on the story. So if its not true, why wouldn't Rosenhaus just dismiss it and have done with it? Just wondering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachChuckDickerson Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Does this still mean that Bledsoe still stinks or is he back on the good list? I can't keep track from day to day on who I am supposed to hate and who stinks. Last week Henry, Bledsoe and the o-line stunk. McGahee and Losman would win the bowl for us. Now Henry is the true Bill and McGahee can kiss our ass. Does that mean Losman can kiss our ass too cause he wants to start ASAP. I am so confused.

Guest WalkingCane Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I have known Willis for since Highschool, and He would NOT say that, he is a humble, respectful man. This ai completly out of HIS character. Total BS. Best Wishes to the Bills, and Go Miami Hurricanes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big boys are jumping on this one BIGTIME. That said, I also agree and look forward to definitive proof of the statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuntheDamnBall Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Ummm, let's see. Your team has an all-Pro, 1400 yards-a-season, plays when he's painfully hurt RB whom your most hated opponent even admits that it does not like to face. You've had a SEVERE injury that has set back even some of the league's best backs two years, when all is said and done. Your team has TAKEN A CHANCE on you with a high draft pick and is paying you good money when everyone else pretty much had written you off as maybe a second-day pick. You have had one solid outing in the 2nd half of the year's first preseason game, your first contact play in 1 1/2 years. You think you have leverage on this one? You think you're owed a starting job now? Willis, get your head together and / or get out in the media and refute this one. Because no Bills fan in their right mind would respect this attitude.

Alaska Darin Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 AP, CBSportsline, ESPN Sounds like legit sources to me. 1196[/snapback] Yeah, if we get enough media sources to report the same lie, it becomes true. Some of you people are fuggin' lemmings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
