Shawne Merriman Almost Didn't Go To Buffalo

[@franklinalatee5597]

That isnt "only thing there is out there man" Will..... Buffalo is an amazing place despite being in NY. Same weather as every Great Lakes city but we get one (usually) harmless blizzard a winter. And (usually) it's nothing but fun and low key debauchery.... Helping your neighbors. Bonding as a community. Friendly people. No need for extravagance. Just real people... I hate being in this state but I love the city of Buffalo.

[@ReignMaker26]

Genuine question, what's the negative about being in NY state?

[@khalidsena3505]

@@ReignMaker26 absolutely nothing .

[@jamestomkin8784]

NY is one of the most beautiful states in the country, Finger lakes, Adirondack Mountains, great state parks , Hudson Valley GO take a ride.

[@Skerboysweet]

They titled it to cause drama Shawn said he loved his time in buffalo

Loved Merriman in Buffalo! Dude is certified with Bills Mafia without a doubt !

[@NickMendez2321]

Happy to hear as a chargers fan! One of my fave chargers of all time glad I got his autographed jersey

[@corey2232]

Former Bills that I wish got another shot without the injuries - Takeo Spikes & Shawne Merriman. By the time Shawne got here, his body had already failed him. I think he played like 14 or 15 games across 2 seasons, and sadly those weren't great teams. But he was excellent when healthy, and it's sad we didn't get to see what could've been. Then you have Spikes, who was one of the best LBs in the league. Unfortunately injuries cut his time short, but I'll always remember how much he loved Buffalo.

[@strahancd]

He still loves buffalo. He goes to a bills bar local to me in NC all the time

[@DBus6]

He came to my West Seneca little loop football game in 2007 and gave us a speech at halftime. We went on to lose 54-0 lol but the point is Takeo is a great guy who loves Buffalo

[@michaelmurphy9023]

Robert James, Jerry Butler

[@trazz407]

He didn't go from LA to Buffalo, he went from San Diego to Buffalo

[@intermissionbuffalo]

These podcasters have to know that and are just doing that to please their NFL overlords

[@flowerchild_92]

The act like Buffalo is in the middle of nowhere lol

[@williamherbert]

Lewan doesn't know shit

[@J_Brian]

To have a prime Shawn playing on this Bills team with Allen would be insane. Him and Milano would be unstoppable.

[@mikedrop1519]

Lights out! Miss this guy

[@HughJhannis]

so do his roid dealers.

[@kylealmorabi4273]

As a full card holding member of the Bills Mafia, thanks Shawn for the memories.... And Lewan, if there was one player from another team that i wish we could have on our Bills roster it would've been you. I used to love watching you play

[@merlinbflo]

Yeah we def needed a tackle to protect all our dogshit qbs😇

[@shawnhickman3512]

Nah. Ill take TJ off another roster to Buffalo.

[@philipschifano5876]

Love this. Much love from buffalo 🦬

[@sergiotim]

Even tho Im a Bears fan and from Brazil, Shawne was one of my favorite players! Dude played with passion and was the real deal befo all those injuries. Too bad hes career wasn't as great as it could (stats wise) but hes fosho one of the best LBs to ever step foot on NFL fields ⚡🎚️😤

[@chefkev33]

Thank you! We love you back!

[@ryanriebling7207]

He is so down to earth. I'm going to show my kid this guy

[@HughJhannis]

Show him how steroids got him to the NFL when testing was a joke but still got caught.

[@brettbrumm7423]

Yesssir... Nobody circles the wagons like the BUFFALO BILLS!

[@Theguy702]

As a certified member of Bills mafia, I gotta say I do hate me some Lewan! (The player lol) But yeah, Shaq is the shit talking king.

[@HughJhannis]

I do hate me/love me some... is what women say you zesty punk

[@howitzer551]

Bills Mafia member here, I remember first year of college watching Football with the boys in the dorm and being confused by the fact that people who considered themselves big sports fans from other cities not knowing like the 3rd string DT of their teams. I am not gonna say its unique to Buffalo(there are some other crazy fans out there) but yeah we serious about our teams!

[@HughJhannis]

NO SUPER BILLS

[@mas.dono9]

Buffalo is a boring place for millionaire athletes for sure and that's why you hear "there's nothing to do in buffalo" from nfl players so often. For the other 99% of people Buffalo is a solid place to be.

[@thewally2648]

As a certified member of the bills mafia. We wait all week for Sunday for the game it’s all we care about during the season

[@johngilley9815]

It's not "all there is out there" shit we have an NHL team. Bills mafia bond was forged in a shared experience of disappointment and the struggle. While also being the city of good neighbors, that's where you get the charity fundraising

[@JKSSubstandard]

We are what happens if the factory of sadness made steel. We were bad, we were bad bad. But we never let it define our fanbase, and we never let it get toxic. We turned those years into collective goodwill.....with a lot of drunken fun thrown in.

[@jjmadoublen7375]

Love Shawne!!! Go Bills!!

[@tjsumigray22]

Healthy, one of the best athletes in NFL HISTORY 💪🏼 lights out📴✌🏼

[@shawnhickman3512]

Lights out was a dawg. I knew his buddie Robert Eddins from Detroit. Dude had hella stories and gear from Merriman. Crazy small world

[@jbh6612]

Go Bills!

[@danielmcdermott452]

He was a monster with the chargers . Like he said his body was messed up by the time he got to Buffalo . He was washed .

[@1ocellus]

i was gonna say, all these people waxing poetic on merriman's time in buffalo, i dont remember him having that much of an impact.

[@raulscott9322]

There is a lot of substance in Buffalo! Not glitz........Go Bills!!!

[@robertevans429]

Last time I seen him was in his Benz on Chippewa Street

[@ThePenitentSquirrel]

The only player not allowed to come back to Buffalo is J.P Losman... If you know, you know.

[@joekane8026]

I’d rather have JP come thru then Rob Johnson lol

[@tjsumigray22]

He knows not to step in NY state again😶‍🌫️

[@DrMacb612]

Why?

[@ThePenitentSquirrel]

@@joekane8026 The Worst Draft Pick vs. The Worst Trade .. Its like picking between a turd and a D*uche

[@ThePenitentSquirrel]

@@DrMacb612 He was so bad the Bills didn't draft a QB in the first round for 8 years (despite actually needing one). He was so bad that their is genuine love for Ryan Fitzpatrick in Buffalo which may seem confusing to some, but to us you never had to live through the JP Losman years.

[@MugamiChinzano]

We stand on bidness...GO BILLS

[@Enyaw58]

Guy you played 9 years in the nfl, Shaq Lawson is on his 10th year 😂

[@JohnJacobJingleheimerSchmidt69]

How is Lawson on his 10th year if he was drafted in 2016 ? Hasn’t even played a snap this year either .

Wasn't he trash here, and hurt all the time in hardly remember him playing here at all

the steroids are still showing

[@tjsumigray22]

Just like your VJ

[@corey2232]

At this point, who cares? He's been retired for a decade, just enjoying life now.

[@joekane8026]

Without the Roids he was an average lb if that .

[@corey2232]

Impossible to know, given that he couldn't stay healthy after the first major injury.
