BillsGuyInMalta Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Per Schefter via Twitter:To the tweeters tweeting me that Michael Vick is in Buffalo - false. Still believe his deal will be done by Monday, but he's not in Buffalo. 13 minutes ago from UberTwitter The best part of all of this is how the FIRST few posts (of the last thread) were about how this is going to get blown waaaaaay out of proportion. And look what happened. I'm still trusting Warrow on this, he's scooped us so many times before...Vick isn't coming to Buffalo. You may now continue with the next 20 pages of "I SAW VICK IN WEGMANS BUYIN FANTA!11!!!1!" posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsGuyInMalta Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Come to think of it, if the Bills were truly having a "We just signed so-and-so" press conference, wouldn't they have sent out a text message and put a notice up on the website? Nothing on either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy acted like an inhumane !@#$ and made a series of poor decisions, but he also served a pretty lengthy jail sentence plus some to pay for it. If the courts deemed that to be enough punishment, then why isn't it enough for you? It obviously isn't if your going to stop rooting for a team that I'm guessing you've followed for many years just because they sign the guy.

I don't want anyone with the exceedingly low moral fiber on my team. i feel the same way, but it's not totally based on him being a scumbag (besides the dog drowning, he knowingly spread STDs, etc) I just think that if we were to sign him, it's basically the franchise saying "Why not?!? We don't really have a shot anyways, let's just get us as much attention as possible." even if youre talking about just bringing him in in a backup role, id rather get Griese.

SDS Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 From my understanding when a huge thread is repeatedly refreshed in rapid succession by multiple posters, it tends to wear on the server. Anticipating an upcoming pattern such as this I closed the ginormous thread and opened a new one for the incoming updated information in hopes it would go easier on said server. things are holding up nicely. If a signing were to occur, I would probably just need to make one tweak and we would be alright. Of course, that would mean a rumor thread would be an actual signing thread.
