FA question

[Patrick76777]

Over the next 2+ months, we're about to get bombarded with the free agency clichés of the message board world. Happens ever year. So I’m wondering which phrase (or derivative of the phrase) we will hear more of:

A. For the right price!

Examples:

“I’d take that guy, for the right price” Or “I’d be willing to take a chance on him, if we could get him for “insert random dollar amount here”.”

What qualifies?:

Basically, anytime a poster tries to tell us that he’ll only be interested in a free agent, if we don’t over pay for them.

Probability of this happening:

For ever thread started that mentions a player rumored to be coming for a visit or that the Bills may be interested, you will hear this at least 3 times.


B. Training Camp Fodder

Examples:

“Ah, this guy’s just training camp fodder” Or “Depth guy, if he even makes the team.”

What qualifies:

Basically anytime a poster indicates that a rumored Bills signing with have little to no impact and it’s hardly worth it.

Probability of this happening:

100% - This will happen every time a player without superstar credentials is mentioned in the same sentence as Buffalo Bills.




BONUS POINTS if you spot the famous Training Camp Fodder/For The Right Price combo. And believe me, you’ll see it.


Get ready…….I bet some of the posters here can’t wait to start using these awesome clichés.

Re: FA question

I like the posts concerning the draft where they look at various mocks and get angry about who the so-called "expert" thinks we're taking - like that means anything at all

Re: FA question

If we bring in training camp fodder, it better be for the right price.

On that same note, how about the people who rip Kiper if the draft doesn't go exactly as he predicted. Nothing wrong with ripping the guy, but the team can be making the mistake, not Kiper.

Re: FA question

the only thing worse than posters who annoy other posters...

Is posters who ***** about how other posters annoy them

If we find ourselves critiquing cliches that other posters use on a fan board on the internet we are:

A) Either taking ourselves too seriously

or

B) Have way too much time on our hands

Re: FA question

Kiper is a tool and ESPN needs to bring in a better draft guru at the right price which would turn Kiper into mock draft fodder that doesn't really provide any "indepth". Get it? in"depth" I kill myself...

Oh god yeah.....How did I miss that one? We've seen it on here already. Fans love cutting players. Epscially to save Cap money. Which makes no sense seeing as how the Bills were something like $20 UNDER the cap last year. If you're not going to spend the money, why create the cap space? I'd rather have a guy make $2 mil and only make one or two plays then cut the guy and have $2 mil worth of unused cap space.

But that's just me.
