nuklz2594 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I moved to Florida about a year ago. I was listening to sports radio and they were discussing T.O. and Lynch. The gist was that T.O. maybe a jerk but Lynch is a problem child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fl_bill Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Lemme be the first to say who cares and next time please post something relevant It took you more time to type your response than it did to read the thread. Why do people feel it's necessary to try and knock people down a peg when all the guy was trying to do was make a little conversation. I understand that this is a Bills board and his post was simply stating what he heard down here in FL. The way I interpreted it was that GOBILLS78 asked cool with a ? and all he did was answer the question. But if it makes you feel better slamming somebody down to the ground instead of typing nothing at all, then by all means, have fun with my post as well.

dib Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 The weather is oppressive at times, but shoveling snow is not an option anymore. No, but Hurricane season lasts from June unil November.

PearlHowardman Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I'm seriously considering leaving Syracuse and heading for Florida. Not for the weather, though. The cost of real estate there seems so low compared to CNY. Jacksonville, Tampa - anywhere! I'm tired of what winters do to cars up here. Plus lots of Bills fans in FL, apparently.

Ray Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 The problem with a lot of sports radio not in the particular city is that they go by what they hear in the news and not by sources close to the situation and they do not really care like we do in Buffalo. Lynch has done some dumb things but he is VERY well liked by his teammates and coaches and is a hard worker and plays hard as well. He is still VERY young and this may ultimately play in the Bills favor as when it comes to the second contract he will not be "worth" as much. Don't let people get you down.....if I could be in Florida for Jan-March I'd be there is a second. Great state, great weather 8 mos a year and NO state tax as well as property taxes about half of Buffalo. A lot of positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had a chance to ride one, but they are pretty bad-ass from what i hear. they'll do 80 mph on the street easily. if your doing more street riding than dirt, the WR250X is the way to go, it has slick tires instead of knobby's. and probably 80 miles per gallon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordio Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Take this for what it is worth & I usually do not post this kind of stuff because all you get is mocked out & ridiculed for it, but my one friend works at ESPN & he has told me that several of the NFL analysts have told him that Lynch is just a bad seed & thug, & he is a time bomb waiting to explode. One analyst(I wont mentioned his name) told him that the coaches at Cal could not wait until Lynch left school because they never knew what was going to happen next. He said the coaches & administration at Cal covered up alot of stuff that Lynch supposedly got into in his time at berkley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like those analysts are just jumping on the easy end of a story... easier to say that he's a thug, etc., etc. instead of saying he's a good kid who did something stupid. We all know Lynch has been a good team player with the Bills, a fun loving kid with the fans and even opposing teams players. If he was such a bad seed, one would think that he would have more on and off the field problems now and no one would be just waiting for him to explode.

Could be & I certainly do not take their word as the gospel. One thing though is he has had 2 runins with the laws going into his third year here. It was also reported in the news at the time of the hit & run that the Hamburgh & Orchard park police have had some incidents with Lynch that have not been reported. Hope I am wrong but I tend to think that my friends coworkers at ESPN are probably more right then wrong on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to suck not having him in there for three games. Exactly - for better or worse, he is a Bill, and he is extremely talented, so let's give him the benefit of the doubt and hope these are learning experiences that help him mature. Personally, the first infraction did not really bother me that much - that was not a "thug" infraction. So in my book, he's got one bad strike against him, and I'm not going to write him off for that. What he does with himself from here on is what matters most.

manateefan Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 The weather is oppressive at times, but shoveling snow is not an option anymore. No, but Hurricane season lasts from June unil November. You can go out and play in snowstorm, Hurricane, not so much. Since I have lived in Florida I have not experienced a hurricane (almost 15 years). Yes, we have had some tropical storms. I lived through blizzards in the Buffalo area (with tropical storm and hurricane strength winds). And I have lived through 45 mph or higher winds in Buffalo (45 being the beginning level of tropical storms). My husband and I owned a tavern and in the early nineties the winds got up to 75 mph (hurricane strength). Knocked a tree into our building which cost us over $700 to remove. Thankfully it didn't damage anything. Every area in the country has weather problems, it just comes down to what you are willing to live with. At least with a hurricane you get advance warning. With tornadoes the warning is very minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuklz2594 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 We had hurricane Fay this past year and it wasn't the wind that nailed people -it was the immense amounts of rain. I moved to Maine -Uncle Sam sent me there, and the snow and wind were something to behold. Lived about 30 minutes from Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. I hear Pittsford has changed alot. I used to work at Burdett's and go Hicks and McCarthy's. Is Bill Wahl's still there and everyone's favorite dive-Thirsty's? Not a huge fan of Florida, but permanent injuries from the military make cold weather living brutal. It is surprising how many people I have met here from upstate NY and Maine since I have been here.
