He wants to be on the field and contributing just as much as we want to see him there. People are acting like his injuries aren't real or something. He's frustrated and the fans ragging on him about "always being injured" has probably pushed him over the edge.

Should he have said it? No. But the fans need to back off stop female doging about him being injured too.
- HonkFortheGoose

With respect, we have every right to complain about him being hurt every other play and it's to bad he's pissed about it.

There is a difference between being upset, and taking low blows at your fans, who again, buy your jerseys, pay for tickets and ultimatley pay your salary.

Now you have 10 year old kids asking there Dad why there favorite player said he is a loser and asking why his Dad has a worthless job.
- CoHo_to_B-Lo

Because you've never once said something out of frustration that in hindsight you probably shouldn't have said?

I'm not saying it's ok that he said it. But I understand why. People need to stop taking all of this stuff so seriously.

No. WE don't pay HIM anything. Pegula does. The mentality that they have to answer to us because we're providing their paycheck is laughable.
- HonkFortheGoose

And Pegula makes his money to pay him FROM (drum roll) Merchandise, concessions, ticket sales etc. And who pays for that? THE FANS!!! DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!

He will get hurt there as well

define what leads to nfl revenue to play for the players salary
- homiedclown

The majority of the players salaries are covered just by the TV contracts alone. So if you want to go there, the Networks that show the games are paying their paychecks.

My take...for what its worth

Johnson let in a stinker but rebounded very nicely

McCabe had a few hiccups, but he play amazing the rest of the night

I was iffy on the Eichel/Reinhart/Larrson line, but I think that is because Eichel was trying to play by himself until the 3rd period

Reinhart looked incredibly confident last night, he is finally showing skating and puck moving skills he's renowned for

I think Delorian on a line with Ennis and O'Riley is a good thing, but he needs a game or two more to sync with them

AND boy am I happy Lioneater got the poopmonkey off his back
- feetontheair22

just so y'all know, the puck that vandevelde shot was tipped downward ever so slightly by Pysyk...they said it on the flyers broadcast and Bylsma alluded to it post-game...that's the reason it nicked the bottom of Johnson's glove and went in

Or maybe people should treat athletes like human beings instead of functioning commodities.
- TheSabresTaco

maybe athletes should be held to a higher standard off the field


if I got caught smoking dope, I lose my job

if I went on a rant that degraded people representing my employer, I lose my job

if I get arrested and miss work, I lose my job

To be honest, I couldn't care less that he said this. He has every right to be pissed about people talking about him the way they have. Why it is OK for fans to criticize us but it's not OK for him to criticize the fans?

Hypocritical much?

When I finish my TPS reports, I spike my pen, dance, and then tweet that i need a raise and that I'm the best thing that has ever happened in the history of the world.
….because thats how everyone should behave at their job.

Seriously, who's Sammy Watkins?

I can say things in frustration becuase i do not have millions of people following my every word, again, in his position this was a poor move. Complains about not getting targets, gets injured, calls out fans. Don't see him being around to long which is sad cause again he is/was my favorite player.

THIS
- HonkFortheGoose

But it's so fun to have the freedom to spew whatever liquid hot garbage comes to your mind behind a screen name.

Honestly, I don't care what the players do off the field/ice unless it directly impacts what they do on the field/ice. It's not like he shot himself in the leg to be off the field. I would get sick and tired of people telling me how to do my job, too.

so, when I support businesses that purchase the sunday ticket, I help pay for their paychecks


when I attend an nfl game, pay for the ticket, I support their paycheck

when I purchase nfl team gear, official nfl products, I support their paycheck

when I pay my cable bill, and pay for espn, nfl network, I support their paycheck

If you want to get real technical, not as many Bills fans as you think. With revenue sharing, much of the team's money, which it uses to pay its players, comes from other teams. The amount of revenue Buffalo contributes is among the least of the league.

How? I normally agree with you but are you this naive? Really?

Those things that you're doing is contributing maybe $.02 to his actual paycheck. Don't like that the players do the things they do? THEN STOP WATCHING.

It's that simple.

Point is. Still paid for by FANS. No one said BILLS fans.

I just want you to know that you are a loser, you will never amount to anything and you are working a job, that at the end of the day, is pointless. Therefor you are a worthless human being.

I played high school football. Ill always have that. You won't. Im better than you. Your kids are losers too.

perhaps he should dump twitter
- Michael Pachla

Social media is a problem. If I owned a team (which will never happen, but a girl can dream) social media would be something I would have to really consider not allowing the players to use. While it seems crazy and harsh, at the same time, it's really probably in their best interest.

Hypocrite. They should be able to say what they want. Why can't they have social media?
