ubkev Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 He's a jerk in real life, but he does deserve this. (But so does Hull, and he'll never see it.) Really? He was very nice and accommodating when I met him. And I was a lowly employee of a place that he was having a small gathering while awaiting his second Hall of Fame denial. He got the call that he didn't make the cut and he took it like a real pro. I was the only bills fan in the room and it was the only time I've ever been star struck. He realized this and personalized an autographed 8x10 for me. I thought that was awesome, especially after he was denied the HOF for a second time. Quote

I thought that was awesome, especially after he was denied the HOF for a second time. I've only met him three times, but wow, all three times. Jerk. Granted, he had been drinking all three times, and maybe that's part of it. The second time, it was all about how many white "biatches" he ######. (Do I care about your sex life, man? And do I really care about the skin color?) The third time, I left about ten minutes after he opened his mouth. EDIT: reviewed your post again. Possibly two differences: (1) I never am starstruck, screw that, and I wasn't working. (2) In this particular environment (all three times), he really needed to be a lot more toned down, and he knew that, and he amped it up almost on purpose. Edited February 2, 2014 by Eleven Quote
Hoss Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 He's a jerk in real life, but he does deserve this. (But so does Hull, and he'll never see it.) Thuman Thomas is worse. Met him as a child and Bruce apologized for how much of a dick Thurman was to everybody. First memory I have as a sports fan. Quote

First memory I have as a sports fan. He's a very different man now, but he was known for that then. He was kind of reclusive (even on the field) and just didn't like people or publicity.

On the Bills forums he's picked many fights with random twitter people. Not a lot of tolerance on his end. Quote

It was actually surprising. He was very very chill. Totally calm. He might have had one drink. Quote
Eleven Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 I'm never starstruck either. It was actually surprising. He was very very chill. Totally calm. He might have had one drink. Well, anyway, his play certainly merits his election to the HOF. Quote

Sorry, beer got to me. Meant that a lot of Bills forum members have had spats with him on twitter in the past. Quote
inkman Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Posted February 2, 2014 Sorry, beer got to me. Meant that a lot of Bills forum members have had spats with him on twitter in the past. A lot of bills forum members are ######. Thurman should know better than to embark on such a fruitless endeavor. Quote
kishoph Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 Thuman Thomas is worse. Met him as a child and Bruce apologized for how much of a dick Thurman was to everybody. First memory I have as a sports fan. Thomas had a bad drinking problem and had admitted to that and has been sober for years. A totally different man than he was back then. As far as twitter goes Thurman is the enemy of many Bills fans. On the Bills forums he's picked many fights with random twitter people. Not a lot of tolerance on his end. Thurman is the enemy of trolls that try to down the Bills and every decision they make. Thomas would be better to stay off twitter, because he 'tweets' from his feelings as a Buffalo Bill and not an objective person and he gets ripped when he does so. Quote
SwampD Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 What the hell does this have to do with football? Quote
wjag Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 Well that was a memorable start to a Superbowl. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 I can't remember a more boring lopsided super bowl since the bills vs Cowboys when I was young..... Looks like Manning will have to answer all those legacy questions Quote

Looks like Manning will have to answer all those legacy questions The most exciting thing so far has been hearing the halftime fireworks out my window. Now it's time to just wait for the codeine to kick in. Nighty night. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Yummy codeine... And it'll help any cough you may have..... Even the commercials sucked tonight..... Big letdown overall... Enjoy the slumber Quote
LGR4GM Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Stanley Cup finals... superior in every way to the Superbore. Quote
North Buffalo Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Yeh, this Superbowl sucked. Even a lot of the commercials were lame especially Hondas... Some good. But overall a disappointment. Quote
ExWNYer Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Stanley Cup finals... superior in every way to the Superbore. Well, that's more or less a given. You do have a minimum of four games in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Super Bowl is much more likely to produce a clunker in a one game winner-take-all scenario. Quote
Eleven Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Looks like a certain city in Colorado blew its sports wad a day early. Yeh, this Superbowl sucked. Even a lot of the commercials were lame especially Hondas... Some good. But overall a disappointment. Agreed. Quote

MattPie Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Facebook statuses of the night: "We've replaced the Broncos with the Washington Redskins without telling anyone, let's watch." "Since when do the Bills where orange uniforms?" Quote
Eleven Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 The Bills would have done better. I have no problem saying that. Quote
SabresfaninAlaska Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Russell Wilson is too short to be drafted in the 3RD Round!!!!! Edited February 3, 2014 by SabresfaninAlaska Quote
MattPie Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Russell Wilson is too short to be drafted in the 3RD Round!!!!! This Seahawks team will be pointed to for years when fans bitch about how their late-round picks aren't all-stars. Quote
