All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Someone in the other thread had a great idea to write McKelvin letters of encouragement to show him that all Bills fans are not some scumbag losers who vandalize property over a freaking football game
So does anyone have the address we can send them to?
I actually sent my letter ot askmarcus on the Bill site. I am trying to locate Chirs Browns email and see if he would relay it, but I am having trouble finding his email address.
This vandal BS has been a reality check for me, and has pretty much changed my perspective on the loss and my feeling towards any player. A line was crossed. It's more important to me to let the players know that we love our team.
I did it because the Bills and the players shouldn't feel threatened by fans for playing a game. I did it because the rest of the players on the team took noticed and formed an opinion about Bills fans. I'm sure they know it's one person and not a whole, but I did it because it bothered me that much that one of us fans crossed that line. I don't want to be associated with such fans.
After reading a few commnets here, I think I realize how cold hearted and sad many of us fans have become. Yeah we've had a rough run, but the hateful crap that we spew in our desperate need / desire to be winners has really screwed soem of our judgements.
Peopel twittering players to tell them how much they suck, and calling them out.. All of this is getting rediculous, and millionaire or not they are human. Yeah I tink players should never be available to fans in that way, but it still is unjustifiable IMO.
All it was is a gesture on my part. the guy screwed up... Life goes on... it was just a game. I wanted McKelvin to feel empowered, that after such a game we're still his fans, and maybe it inspires him to play even harder.
I'm just a chump for doing this I guess, at least according to a few of ya's... SO be it..
Who cares if he is a millionaire. This time it was vandalism.. next time it could be some guy waiting in the bushes with a baseball bat... That's where this unchecked anger could lead to...
I wrote something in a comment on Donte Whitner's facebook page. Since he reads that stuff and comments, I felt it would be the quickest way to get a "message" that as a fan I am disgusted with what happened to Leodis. There were already several messages of that sort on his page to tell him that, and I just commented on one of them.

Some fans are aholes, some just try to be funny (and fall flat) and some are interested in deeper meaning. Who cares? It's not bad to feel bad and want him to know it.
so some jerkoff vandalized a millionares home and youre gonna send him a hello kitty balloon? you gonna offer to kiss his boo boos too?
hey my house was vandalized recently. why dont you save the card and send me the money
the only letter you should send him is a get well and i hope they find your cerebral cortex card
Meathead is right. A couple of kids did donuts in his yard. Welcome to life. Based on his interview after the game I'm still not sure he realizes that he lost us the game.

I agree it wasn't a huge deal, but it wasn't cool either... Players families and children are in these homes, and they don't want to be thinking.. there is some nut job stalking there property because they lost a game or made a bad play.
Add that with the horid things some so willing post ot players twitter pages and I stand by my belief that fans are crossing lines that shouldn't be crossed...
We already have enough trouble convincing top player to come here, we don't need this overzealous hate crap going on anymore..
Thick skinned or not... they are human, and no matter what's on the outside, our words and actions can have both a damaging and healing affect... I just chose to take an opportunity to make sure they/He knew fans like me exist... I bet you he enjoys the letters and it will help heal a wound.
but guys do what you feel is right.. I just think it was a classy thing to do. Screw it, it was a boneheaded play but in the end just a game, and not deservin gof anyone feeling threatened for any reason.
