    I never hated JP, I just thought he was a SoCal jerk with a giant sense of entitlement.

    It was JP's FANS and their creepy man-crush that I hated.

    I'm sure that any of them that have the guts to admit they thought JP was the second coming will have some sort of exculpatory excuse, like your comment that you rooted for him because he was a homeboy.

    He cheered for Uncle Eddie and other relatives who played high school football for the Venice Gondoliers. Losman was a small boy wrapped in his uncle's oversized letter jacket as he watched Soto play quarterback in jersey No. 7, worn over the years by several from the clan, including Losman, who wears it still for the Bills.

    Losman's grandfather on his mom's side was Native American. "My grandfather was very strict," Losman says he has been told. "He wanted his kids in sports and out of trouble. And when I came along that's still what the family totally thrived on."

    Losman played multiple sports. He had no time for trouble, except on occasion after midnight. He would sometimes go to the marina and "borrow" boats for an hour or two. "I'd be scared the whole time," he says, but he never got caught.

    "I would look at the ocean and think how cool it would be to go out there myself in the pitch-black night. I was always an adventurer-traveler."

    You have convinced yourself that he's single handedly responsible for the state of our franchise, and that he was supposedly hated so much by his own teammates that they intentionally injured him.

    I'm sure that any of them that have the guts to admit they thought JP was the second coming will have some sort of exculpatory excuse, like your comment that you rooted for him because he was a homeboy.
    How is that an "exculpatory excuse"? If any thing I was more invested in his success then most.

    Ah, this brings back memories.

    Arguing with Losmaniacs - it's enough to sour one on the whole human race...

    1. I never said he was "single handedly responsible for the state of our franchise" (others had a hand in it), nor did I say he was "hated so much by his own teammates that they intentionally injured him."(They didn't hate him, he wasn't worth it. What they did was send him a message, and when it wound up breaking his leg, no tears were shed.)

    2. Of course it's an exculpatory excuse. Everyone else has to say they loved him because of his great hair, or his buff physique or his love for the ancient Greeks. But you're a fan because he grew up in the neighborhood, so, in that case you're excused.

    Sparty's Losman obsession is scary.

    That's not an excuse, it's an explanation.

    Spartacus: "No one will admit they were JP Losman fans!"
    Illuminatus: "I was a JP Losman fan."
    Spartacus: "Well you're not admitting it enough."

    It's also particularly bizarre that you keep making it a homosexual thing.

    Thanks, I don't remember reading that before.

    It sounds like he always returned them.
    Probably a couple gallons less fuel.

    But not a major crime in my book.

    Actually, it's the 11th anniversary, dumbass.

    Losman was drafted in 2004.

    Feldspar,

    He said "when Losmania kicked in", not when he was drafted.

    Anyway, I don't understand why Spartacus would hate other bills fans because they cheered for a Bills player. It's not like he was a murderer or he liked touching children.

    Nice to see that Losman has been on your mind for the last 10 years.

    Actually, he said it's been ten years since "we fell in man-lust" with Losman. I don't ever recall that happening, so your guess is as good as mine as to exactly when HE thinks it did. Losman got benched after week 4 in 2005, just like EJ did last year...he only came back after Holcomb suffered a concussion much, much later in the season. I didn't see anybody go hog-wild about the way JP played in 2005. He only started half the games, and I think we went 1-7 in those games. YeAh, everyone loved him at that point.

    It's an obvious troll thread anyway.

    Kinda like with EJ, if we would've just held off one more year, we would've been a lot better off.

    Heck, we could've gotten Big Ben if we had lost one more game the previous year.
