Around SBN: Ray Allen Fighting Age, Injury And His New Role

Welcome, Shawne Merriman!

We, the fans, are pumped. 

We watched you become one of the very best, in a very short time, in San Diego.

We know you have detractors, people who say you can't do it anymore.

We, the fans, say, "Welcome to Buffalo, Shawne!"

We're ready to embrace you, and we relish the thought of cheering you on, as you shut your detractors up in front of 73,079 strong.

We think you can continue to be a great player in this league, a great player for our team, and a great person in our community. 

And we want you here, because we want WINS, and we know you can help us do it.

Welcome to Buffalo!

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

Also Shawne its cool

Tila probably doesn’t even know where Buffalo NY is. Your safe now buddy. Shhhhhhhh it’s ok to cry.

The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun

I hope he can have a resurgence here in our remaining games, then we can hold on to him next year and actually try to build a 34 defense.

My only problem is that I just want to not type the “e” at the end of his name.. seems unnecessary.

i think if we all come to some sore of agreement on the extraneous “e,” you know… we can make it work.

yeah, it’s his name though.

This also could have been an example of throwing the cookies out. I don’t know about you, but sometimes when I’m trying to drop some weight and I have some cookies in the cupboard that I DO but DON’T want to eat, I’ll try giving them away and short of that, just throw them out. I figure, better to waste a little money than to have something around that is just going to get me in trouble knowing its in my cupboard.

I'm just trying to make the guy feel welcome

I really am glad he’s here, and I want to do what we can as a fan base to encourage him.

no argument here

let’s hope Shawne Merriman appreciates that enough to make this relationship a positive one.

I’m sure right now Merriman might be loathing the idea of coming to Buffalo considering how he wants to be a star but he might end up finding its the best thing for him. His career spiraled out of control surrounded by things that weren’t about the game. In Buffalo he might rediscover his greatness where the only thing that matters is football and the game. No celebrities, no big spotlight, just a town that loves their team and loves the game and wants to win with a coach who is a no nonsense football guy.

It could end up appealing to him whether he knows it now or not.

Idealistic?haha, yes, Maybe. But its not a new storyline in sports.

After spending 3 hours one night on Twitter making fun of Tila Tequila’s 13 year old whore fanbase in Shawn’s honor, I’m going to enjoy having him on a team where I can root for him!

welcome

Here’s to hoping you take a look around and say “you know, I like this place, if the rest of the players out there only knew..”

I think what Poz said is much more likely. He comes, the fans love him and he plays well and decides he wants to concentrate on FOOTBALL and being a great football player, not a celebrity who also plays football.
