    Am I being a racist when...

    My favorite play this year was that idiot Jet running back getting hauled down behind the line of scrimmage BY HIS HAIR.

    Cu2, IMO this hair thing has gotten beyond ridiculous to the point you not only can't see the guy's name on the back of their jersey, with some guys its even tough to see their NUMBER.

    Now, I'm sure there's some sort of ****ing cultural significance to trailing around a yard of dreads, but this white guy just thinks it looks stupid. Sammy Watkins and Stephan Gilmore, I'm looking at you.

    So sue me.

    And the Samoans and Clay Matthews can get haircuts too.

    I don't wanna see the first guy who looks like cousin Itt playing on my team...

    News and entertainment for people who love America.


    Why Are So Many NFL Players Growing Really Long Hair?

    ...And some guys simply like the look.

    “We were playing the University of Miami and I just saw the way they looked. … They were shaking their hair and I was like, ‘That looks good.’ And then when they put their helmets on, it looked great coming out of the back of their helmets,” said Dallas Cowboys receiver Jesse Holley, whose dreadlocks now reach down to the middle of his back.

    “It makes me feel like I’m running fast,” Holley added. “When I have my hair out, I feel like a lion. It puts you in that wild, warrior-type mentality.”...

      Re: Am I being a racist when...

      I remember when a Bill trying to tackle Ricky Williams pulled out one of his dreads. It might have been during the snow game where the Bills came back and won. Maybe the Historian will let me know. Anyway, I seem to remember maybe getting a personal foul penalty on the play?

      I believe it is old white man hate. I certainly don't like it either, nor do I like the wearing pants around the upper thighs. Just stupid trends that will someday go away to be replaced by another stupid trend.

      I wondered though, do the Bills lead the league in guys with long hair?

      I do like the fact that long hair is now considered "part of the uniform" and they can be tackled by it.

        honestly it doesnt bother me at all, i kinda like it. but i agree with the sentiment that its totally fair game to be hauled down by the hair. if it was me i wouldnt wear it outside the helmet/jersey for just that reason, id tuck it in super tight like they do the uniform to prevent it from being tugged on. but as a purely visual display i think its cool

          You sound like a redneck, not a racist.

          I grow my hair extra long just to give people like you something to complain about.

          And I am a old white guy.

          And I bet your bald.

          Why not worry about something you can do to improve your life?

              I thought it was awesome when Bradham tackled him by the hair. If you wanna have long hair, that's fine, but don't whine when someone tackles you by it.

                        Not racist, it's truly baffling...if your hair was the consistency of a brillo pad why would you want to grow that **** out?

                          I do too. I'm wondering if that comment and awareness will see more players tackling by the hair. Could get interesting.

Your way to deal with it is to constantly ***** and denigrate any move, any result concerning the team even if it's positive because you don't want your whittle feewings hurt again. It's a protection mechanism.

                          You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.

                          Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.

                          The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.
                          ------

                          "I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."

                          "We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."

                          "We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.

                          Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)

                          "And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

                              Is it really hair grown out, or just extensions?

                              Anyhow, I'm with Shiva...I think it looks silly, and has to be hotter than hell.
