    Troubling quote from von miller that no one is talking about

    Yesterday on the pat mcafee show, von said he was planning on this being his last year but now his acl is causing him to want to continue playing because he doesnt want to go out like that. That bothers me... a lot. We signed him for what we thought was at minimum, 3 yrs, but he strait out said he was going to retire after this year


    does anyone else find that a bit odd?
    Not here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions

    Buffalo Bills pass-rusher Von Miller believes he has a lot left to his career despite suffering a torn ACL two weeks ago, as he told The Pat McAfee Show on Thursday:

    "It's nothing but work, you're never out of the fight, man," Miller said. "I plan on playing four, five, six more years, and this is the route I had to take to get there."

    That's not how I understood him. I understood him to say that IF this were his last year... then he would have tried playing out the year. But, since he plans on playing for several more years - it was better to get it fixed correctly now.

    Meh. People say messed up stuff when they’re hurt. He flat out said he was here to help us win a SB. Now, he’s both in physical pain with the injury and upset that he can’t help with the stretch run or the playoffs.

    Ever watch UFC? Fighters frequently claim they are retiring during the post fight interview after a loss, and at least half of them rethink it when they aren’t physically and emotionally drained. To me, this feels like the same thing.

    That's exactly what he said and meant.

    I have zero expectations that he would see out this contract. If he was health and we won one this year then I could have absolutely seen him retiring. Now he’s definitely coming back and that’s a positive.
    COMING SOON...

    Oh, I don't see him playing out the contract, but I never saw him being the guy to take a season and run for the bus. He's going to eat an extra year no matter on the decline after he figures he's done. At the very least, the dude is a real pro.

    He’s staying as long as the Bills are paying. If he produces the next 2 years, he will stay somewhere for more.

    Cash is king.

    yeah, i think you heard it wrong my fella.

    he wasn't saying that at all. it was a hypothetical, he made it clear he
    1) wants to win another superbowl
    2) wants to play another 5-6 years if he can
    My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

    MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!

    It doesn't help that the title and thumbnail of the video on Youtube say the same thing. Clearly clickbait, which is an absurd and completely unnecessary strategy for Pat McAfee and his brand.

    I watch the show literally everyday. I honestly feel like they do that almost sarcastically. If you watch the show, its hard to take those things seriously. My issue is the only thing i heard was that. Regardless your right, i just know that show isnt about being click baity, they try and be almost sarcastic about that stuff
