    Does anyone here think that

    T.O's comment about Edwards hurts the lockerroom?

    espn does. Im asking your opinion. I think he just said what Edwards himself was saying and what Evans has been saying too. This team has the weapons to go downfield, so why arent we?

    but apparently T.O. just took the team down like the "cancer" he is.

      I don't disagree with anything T.O. said. Did they throw it down the field once? No. Trent HAS to take chances sometimes. He and Lee can't be doubled every damn play of every damn quarter. It's not possible

        Let me help.

        ESPN = Extra Special Pinheaded Numskulls

        Its the media, they want to have stories so that people will want to listen to them. This is another example of sensationalizing an opinion.

          Not at all. We need someone that speaks up and what he said really wasnt a big deal. It was the truth and Edwards was saying that himself

            Being a member of the media myself, I honestly can say that the truth is, we want to have an interesting story. Most of the time, answers given are so by the book and so bland, we have to try to put a twist in there to gain interest. If it's not done, readers get bored, we get fired.

              ESPN is a piece of junk these days... Don't hesititate to tell them

              or better yet stop watchng them all together.

              They will do anything to drag TO into some stories because there are enough yahoos out there that will eat it up...

              WHy post the real news when twisting it does a better jobpaying the bills

              How about the legion of dumb ass jocks they hire to do their shows... annoying as hell IMO.. I rarely watch the network and when I do stop on it I'm turned off so fast. I might last 5 minutes then its on to something else.

                Just like that South Park episode. If there's no news, then just make something up!

                  What he said is fine. If he starts *****ing about not getting the ball, like he has in other stops, then it is a problem. The situation bears watching but for now there are no issues related to his comments.

                      Do you wish to file a complaint?

                      For the record I did not bash espn. I wish not to get fired. They are a stand up organization/network and I am proud to be on the payroll of a part of said network.

                      I just sometimes disagree with what a lot of the experts say on the network.

                        That's called making the news... Not reporting it.

                        Of course I can understand doing what you need to do in order to keep your job.

                          I just can't stand watching it.. Maybe I'm not much of a sport nut like I was when I was younger.. but I seriously can't stay on the channel for more then 5 minutes accept to watch the Bills game Monday.

                          and what good would a complaint do, they are going to cater to whatever audience brings the biggest bucks.. and I just do not enjoy the over gushing on the big market teams.. ...

                          I do not like ESPN and just do not find it stomachable... It irritates me that much...

                          If it makes you feel any better i find the NFL Network to be equally unwatchable and there selection of jock commentators irritate me even more.

                          Nothing I can do about that.. I'm not going to torture myself for the sake of it... there is a Simpsons or Sienfeld rerun somewhere that is palletable

                            NFL network is pretty bad just because they hire people like Marshall Faulk who know very little about 25+ teams in the league and focus only on 5 teams they do know. Alot of them make up stats and miss pronounce player names.

                            It is comical really.

                              I'm sick of ESPNews. I used to love it, but recently it's become pathetic. I can care less that Roger Federer said the f word. I don't care about Tony Romo breaking up with Jessica Simpson. ESPNews is more like a soap opera now. I actually like watching ESPN2. 1st & 10, PTI, ATH, at least these shows have analysis with professional assesments.

                              For some reason there are particular athletes that can do no wrong (Favre), and some that can do no right (Owens), in ESPN's mind. I never really understood what T.O has gone through, until he came here to Buffalo. I thought he was a selfish cancer on every team he's gone too. But now that he's on my team, and I've gotten to follow him closely the last 5 months, I've realized how exagerated some of ESPN's stories can be. He speaks his mind. He is asked questions, and he answers them truthfully. I don't see the crime in that. ESPN was so quick to call T.O's overdose a suicide attempt 4 years ago. Why? So we would tune in for a few hours. They want news/ratings. They want T.O to blow up. It's pathetic.
