    So Josh Allen is a Blue Jays fan now?

    I know he's pictured in Yankees and Padres gears before, but having access to club house, taking batting practice in major leagure ball park and talking to coaches might be a first for him.

    I think he was invited and just went there to have some fun. He said in his interview he doesn’t follow baseball very closely but played all the way through HS. They invited him for BP and a game and he went to have a good time.

    Re: So Josh Allen is a Blue Jays fan now?

    By everything I see this year so far, Josh might be in his best physical shape I've seen. In the article he mentioned he's watching what he eats which, and if you pay close attention, that is not something he said before. You know that TB12 regiment etc. which I always admire. I cringed when I saw Allen downing an entire beer can in one shot, or doing wine tasting interviews. It is because I live in a city where we all watched how a future HOF Steeler QB went from athletic into a statue while witnessing TB12 maintained his limited mobility into his mid-40s.

    Maybe Allen did have a life changing experience this off-season. I remember I was in my mid-20s, single, having goals, working out while not feeling as burdening as I feel now, fit, active, doing things on a snap, still chasing girls ...

    It could be considerably worse.

    He could be an A's fan like me.

    The Jays farm team is in Buffalo. They made a "roster move" of announcing Allen being recalled from the Buffalo affiliate. All for fun.

    What a sour puss.

    In yardie’s weird world of what it means to live life, he mocks our franchise QB for actually living life.

    I wonder how much you are “100 percent focused" on YOUR job?!?!?!

    I could, but then you would confuse me with DraftBoy.

    I'm disappointed in what has transpired over the last year, and concerned that he may not be as "hungry and humble" as he says to the press. I don't want him to Wentz-out, and I don't want him to be another Marino or even Kelly.

    I want a winner.

    Hey! This is offensive, I’m far more anti-fun than any other poster here. I also agree with 100% focus on work at all times.

    Re: So Josh Allen is a Blue Jays fan now?

    Josh will upset more fans as I saw him again on TV that he's in Rochestor watching the PGA Championship. I think Barkley and Gabe Davis are with him. Perhaps he should practice throwing balls to Davis instead eh?

    I do hope though that he takes a page out of the current leader Scheffler who went right out after his round to practice drives. Scheffler told the interviewer what he felt is not right and must correct it today. Sometimes I feel Josh can do something similar mid-season as well to keep his throwing forms.

    Jesus.


    Whining and bellyaching about Josh Allen (or any other Bills player) actually living their lives and attending the PGA Championship (or a MLB game) is really silly, childish and ridiculous.

    I mean...really....grow the **** up and get real!!!!
