Realist Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Even if the Bills were to sign Vick, I think the smart thing would be to wait until after Saturday's game if at all possible. The backlash would be huge and I don't think they would want protesters outside the Ralph it being Kids Day and all. I'll stick with JW, this is all crap that is just flying around the internet and picking up steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything we've heard from "real" sources (Warrow, Shefter, etc) state that Vick isn't in town. Everyone's best friend's brothers cousin says he's in Buffalo. I'll trust the people who have...you know...factual sources.

Heitz Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I would bet the Vick to Buffalo rumors are coming from US, the fans - messageboards, Twitter, Facebook and other social media now rule the sports "reporting" world. Look at Pro Football Talk - it was (mostly) all unsubstantiated rumors and the NFL wanted no part. Then a few years later 8 billion people were following the site and the NFL *had* to get involved, if only to tell their side of the story. Half of the scoops these days are guys like Scoob, driving around in their Beemers throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fast22freddy Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 its rumors like these that cause other fans to think we are the laughing stock of the NFL. It's rumors like these that make other big name players think that we will be excited to have anybody on the field. It is that desperation that scares players to other cities.

The Mayor of Buffalo Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 this rumor is getting crazy. it is all over twitter, pro football talk and other sites. If this rumor is true...I am sitting out this season as a fan. F•CK Vick. Signing T.O. is one thing (a good thing IMO)...signing Vick is going to do nothing but create bring more negative attention to the area, and create yet another QB controversy. Not to mention the guy killed how many dogs??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delete This Account 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. fair enough. jw p.s. folks, will be filing story on the rampant rumors, while leading with what the Bills position has been all along.

kota Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I still don't understand the facination with Michael Vick. What did he ever do to the Falcons but turn good WR's into bad ones? Seriously who was Roddy White until Matt Ryan showed up? He was labeled a bust by many people when Vick was his QB. Anyone who thinks Vick will bring a team to the SB is seriously high.

Anyone who thinks Vick will bring a team to the SB is seriously high. +1 Signing Vick immediately boosts your TE's value (see Alge Crumpler) while simultaneously destroying the stats of any and all WR's. He's a future Wildcat/Punt Returner/Slash....the Bills don't need a larger sized Roscoe Parrish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like A Mofo Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Things have been so blah with the Bills over the past 9 years...I say this: If you can bring in a world class athlete to help your football team, you do it.

ricojes Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I work with a guy who forwarded me this rubish: "One of the guys I work with has an indirect connection to Turk Shoenert's son, and apparently Vick is in Buffalo and is going to sign here tomorrow. It could be a joke, but with Russ Brandon running things, who knows what he would do to put on a show." I hope this crap ends soon, not quite as bad as the Cutler rumors, but quickly approaching it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
