    Are you having a stroke? Should we call someone?

    (Oh, cardpire… cardpire, cardpire, cardpire… You were right the first time, BTW. It should have been “You’re”. I don’t care, never would have even noticed otherwise – but I LOVE that you think I care. But more than that - I REALLY LOVE that I’m so far in your head, I'm the inspiration behind your toxic mix of anger and shame that it fueling your very public meltdown. This is, like, really consuming you, isn’t it? You’re fun, man. I mean, Your… no, You’re… wait a second, this is a trick, isn’t it?…….)

    (And hey, imaginary people who are flooding cardpire’s inbox with notes of congrats and attaboys: I apologize, too. I’m sorry you had to not read anything since you don't actually exist.)

    (Tell ya what, cardpire - the floor is yours to say whatever you want - once you've hit the submit button (likely punctuated with a "Bam! Beyotch!” I'd wager), I promise to call a truce and stick to the topic moving forward. I’ll certainly engage you, but the personal attacks will cease and I’ll wipe the slate clean and start fresh. Deal?)

    good job to use those posts as a means to back out of admitting you were wrong and apologizing for taking my words out of context though. no surprise.

    I've always defend Mario; I really like the guy and thought far too many fans here underrated him. (Aside: I’d love to shoot him full of sodium pentothal to find out if his treatment here didn’t in some way make it easier for him to leave).

    But for all the times I stood up and defended him… I can’t help but feel like the move to Buffalo was a giant cop-out that gives a little bit of credence to those who were always disappointed in his effort. The Bills are the safest, laziest pick he could have made – a perpetually bad team he doesn’t make better who will spend the majority, if not entirety, of his career playing in relative obscurity (Or: Toronto). It was a 100% money grab. Good for him – he earned the right. But he’s also earned more money already than his grandchildren will be able to spend, and he certainly still could have cashed in a big pay day for a better team.

    Maybe no one else was interested; I don’t know. But the decision left me cold (and will leave him cold, too, btw….)

    You know what.... you're right; I didn't read the sentence in its entirety. My bad. I offer my sincerest apology.

    Would have been great to keep him but he's definitely not worth that kind of money IMHO...He's good, but $100MM? no fkn way...Not sure how much the Texans couldve offered him, but i'm sure its no where near what the Bills offered...Texans will be fine defensively going forward...

    You nailed it. It was a hugely lazy choice.
