Poor Poor Leodis Updated: September 15, 2009, 7:56 PM EDT 28 comments HAMBURG, N.Y. (AP) - The front lawn of a home belonging to Bills cornerback Leodis McKelvin was vandalized following Buffalo's season-opening loss to New England. Leodis McKelvin didn't have too much to smile about after Monday night's game. (Jim Rogash / Getty Images) Hamburg police on Tuesday confirmed the home of a Bills player was vandalized, but declined to release details of their investigation after an obscenity and the score of Monday night's game ? a 25-24 loss to the Patriots ? were painted in white on the player's lawn in suburban Buffalo. McKelvin fumbled a kickoff return with under two minutes to play and the Bills leading 24-19. Three plays later, New England's Tom Brady hit Benjamin Watson for the go-ahead touchdown as the Patriots overcome an 11-point deficit in the final 2:06. ----------------- Not cool. Some fans take this game waaaaaayyy too seriously.
That's fucked up. At the end of the day, this is his job. No one else goes home to vandalized property because of a poor performance at work. That is unless you're a teacher and dumb enough to tell your students where you live.
Walking into the locker room Monday night. Jaron puts his arm around the sad leodis. Then leans in as if to whisper something in his ear. Then screams at the top of his lungs "NEXT TIME TAKE A F&CKING KNEE". It is however very shitty of these assholes to do this to his home. Hope they get the little bastards.
Two things about this: 1) He made the right decision taking it out. The idea was to take it from 2:06 to the two-minute warning, depriving the Pats of an extra timeout. He didn't need to push so hard for the extra yardage, though. 2) If your scenario above is true, then Jauron should be fired today for not telling him this before the play. McKelvin is getting killed by everyone for taking the ball out, but why would that ever be his decision? That's the coaches' job.
thats some scumbag shit. should find em and send em to brazil or colombia to hang out with the rest of the jerkoffs that have nothing to live for but "their" teams. i really hate people.
There's no way he should have run the ball out of the endzone, literally no way. The Bills had the hands team in the game because of the possible onsides kick and they had 8 guys within 12 yards of the ball when it was kicked, and he was damn near alone back there with no blockers in front of him. What kind of moron decides he's going to try to run through 6 Patriots singlehanded, with a fumble probably losing the game? Seriously, anybody who thinks McKelvn had any justification for what he did doesn't understand the game of football at all.
So next time McKelvin gets a kick return TD will they mow his lawn for him? He's a good player. The vandilism was unnecessary.
Since I'm the one defending him, I'll assume this was directed at me. Harsh, but untrue. Like I said, if you can run 6 seconds off the clock there, you take a valuable timeout away from the Pats. Why he wasn't running for the sidelines, I don't know, but taking the ball out isn't the bonehead play everyone is making it. And my larger point is that even if I'm wrong and it is the dumbest thing ever, why are we fucking up the return man's house and not the coach? I really don't care enough to look it up, but has anyone asked Jauron whose decision it was to take the ball out?
You don't ever carry the ball assuming you will fumble. If he holds on and makes a nice return and takes a bunch of time off the clock nobody would be saying "Take a fuckin knee next time you idiot". It was bad luck and I, too, would be pissed, but don't vandalize his fuckin' property.
