tom webster Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 The look at me generation of athletes started with Bruce Smith and his sack dance. I think Gastineau beat him by a lot. At least Bruce really was that good. Quote
wjag Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 I think Gastineau beat him by a lot. At least Bruce really was that good. Yeah I forgot about him... And I was in NJ at the time suffering through NYJ and NYG football. That was before DTV. Quote
inkman Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Posted January 12, 2014 The Godfather of excessive NFL celebrations is Billy 'White Shoes' Johnson. My issue isn't with celebrating, the NFL (right or wrong) already polices that. It's the face to face, head butting, chest thumping self promoting crap that has exploded on the scene the last couple of years. Quote
Andrew Amerk Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 I think a player should shut up and act like they've been there before. There can only be one Barry Sanders. Quote
ubkev Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 There can only be one Barry Sanders. Yeah, his name was Walter Payton. Quote
Eleven Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 Yeah, his name was Walter Payton. No, his name was Gale Sayers. Quote

I'm with you on that, the NFL certainly has turned NBA-esque with all the look at me crap. Quote
K-9 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 The look at me generation of athletes started with Bruce Smith and his sack dance. Mark Gastineau made Bruce Smith look absolutely humble. GO BILLS!!! Quote
drnkirishone Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 His name was Robert Paulson. i am jacks complete indifference Quote
Hoss Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) i am jacks complete indifference I am Jack's raging bile duct is still my favorite. Edit: Fantastic book if you've never read it. Palahniuk is an odd one, but he has some very good works. Fight Club, Haunted and Survivor are my favorites. Not a fan of Pygmy or Lullaby. Edited January 13, 2014 by Tankalicious Quote

Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Peyton vs Brady.... Again..... It would be nice to have an elite QB... And on the other flip of the coin... Kapernick vs Wilson.... 2 guys that are young and 2 guys I believe the bills passed on a few times (as well as the rest of the league).... Ugh Quote

Kapernick vs Wilson.... 2 guys that are young and 2 guys I believe the bills passed on a few times (as well as the rest of the league).... Ugh Since you're one of those guys that gets disappointed by hindsight draft possibilities (not a slight, everyone does), the Bills picked Aaron Williams and the next two picks were Dalton and Kapernick. The Bills also picked TJ Graham 5 picks before Russel Wilson because they thought he'd be there in the 3rd. Also, Troup and Gronkowski. Edited January 15, 2014 by qwksndmonster Quote

The Bills also picked TJ Graham 5 picks before Russel Wilson because they thought he'd be there in the 3rd. Also, Troup and Gronkowski. I suppose the draft is a crap shoot, I just never understood some of our picks at the time...CJ wasn't a terrible pick but terrible for being our first round pick that year, and definitely not what we needed..... I guess the problems all came from us not identifying proper positions to fill at the proper times.... I'm still bitter at picking TJ tho, one of the worst picks in the past 5 years. I think we have a semblance of what we actually need now, a better direction, just hope the picks are more positive than bust... Kinda like the Kiko pick, that seems to be working out alright for us so far. Quote
Hoss Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Hindsight is 20-20, but the Graham over Russell Wilson gripe is completely legitimate. Graham was a late-round projection and we traded UP to draft him when there was a clear need at the QB position. What could have been. Who knows. Quote
Hoss Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Pettine interviewing for Browns HC spot tomorrow Quote
Taro T Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Pettine interviewing for Browns HC spot tomorrow That's not cool. Hopefully he tanks the interview; I'm not ready to lose him yet. Quote
dEnnis the Menace Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 That's not cool. Hopefully he tanks the interview; I'm not ready to lose him yet. agreed. Our first top ten defense in forever. That would be a HUGE void to fill. Not to mention it seemed like a lot of guys on defense finally realized their potential this past year...now I'm scared :( Quote
