Things have finally seemed to calm down after the firestorm of the past week.

Re: Question for COACH SAL
You took one of my last post's - a simple personal thought which was of no significant news at all - and turned it in to an entire freakin' thread over at BBMB. You even put it in the "rumors" section. I did not state any kind of rumor in any way possible in that post!
Now, as usual, the sharks are out and asking for blood.
Why would I post anything at all now, knowing all my personal little thoughts are going to be scrutinized on the Buffalo Bills main message board, simply because one person just HAS to give them every single breath of information that comes from someone else?
You made my post sound like it was cryptic for me knowing something and not willing to reveal it. You even titled it "Coach Sal." That is not at all true! I stated that I do not want to post things I've been told unless I am totally confident they are reliable. You have no idea how many people I've been in contact with who claim they "know something." Some do and some don't. Hell, just read around this place and you know what I mean. So, that's for me to figure out, which I can do.
But I sure as Hell am not going to put my reputation on the line by posting "rumors" I hear. That's what I meant by "there's way too much at stake."
By you starting threads with my name in it and putting in just a few lines of a simple post I made here, it makes it look like I'm stating something big.....or want to get my name out there just to get my name out there. And some people already think I'm trying to do that, despite the fact that I was proven right in my initial story by Ralph Wilson himself tonight.
I have no interest in people thinking that is my agenda - because it's not! That's why I wrote in that post "I'd rather lose the breaking story than post something inaccurate."
Here's my advise to you:
1. If you want to be a part of this board, be a part of the board and have discussions with the people here. But don't take everything you read away from here and turn it into something else over there. People post here because they want to post here. If they wanted to post their thoughts somewhere else, they'd do it.
2. If you - or anyone at BBMB or anywhere else for that matter - want to know my thoughts and/or hear anything new I have, all you have to do is go to my twitter or facebook pages. They are a lot easier for me to update.

Twitter:
Believe me......if I have ANYTHING substantial that I 100% believe to be accurate, I will post it. It will be on FB, twitter, HERE, and the Range (where I also post). From there, it will be undeniable that it is for everyone to know I believe it is big news. Then you can do what you want with it.
Sure, you CAN start threads with my name and repeat my posts......but my point is by doing so you are falsely portraying me as having stated some kind of important info that I did not do! And I'm specifically trying to avoid doing that right now because the feeding frenzy is just too ridiculous.
I'm sure you mean well and have no ill-intentions. But please try to understand where I'm coming from. I was first to report the talks. Most people know that and now want to jump to big conclusions based on any little thing I say. So, I have to be extremely careful as to what I post and where I do it. My post here was just a simple thought stating this very thing.Buffalo Bills Now! and NFL Now! podcasts

Re: Question for COACH SAL
I'm sorry of my above post sounded harsh.
I just expect people to use common sense and understand the difference between:
A) actual news someone says they have....especially people who have been reliable;
B) rumors
C) simple posts intended for conversation purposes.
We (collectively) have thrown all that out the window the past 48 hours.
Sure, it can be fun and exhilarating to read through everything, but it also becomes exhausting and dangerous (as far as our names and credibility) to some of us who have put ourselves out there.
You may not agree with that. But I am asking that you understand that,Buffalo Bills Now! and NFL Now! podcasts

It's an exciting time.
But you'll help yourself a lot if you can take a step back and use some rationalization before posting every single thing you read everywhere.
I guarantee you won't get "dumped on" nearly as much with that approach.Buffalo Bills Now! and NFL Now! podcasts
