10.17.08 THE BILLS (OR COLTS) DID NOT WANT THIS MAN
Stop and think about how competitive the market for large, obese men really is. And then realize that Buffalo tried to ship some of its surplus stock out to Indianapolis. That would be one defensive tackle/resident grumpass John McCargo, in exchange for a second-day draft pick. There was one hitch — he failed his physical with the Colts, and they shipped his ass back to Buffalo. How do you feel about that, John?
“I don’t think anything I say is going to lead to anything positive,” said McCargo, who had consulted with the team’s director of media relations, Chris Jenkins, before addressing reporters at his locker. “I talked to Chris and he told me to tell you all that, right now, I’ve got nothing to say about it. Take it how it is. I don’t know. Maybe one day I will.”
Jenkins then informed reporters that McCargo had nothing else to say. [...]
McCargo has been riding the bench since the Bills bolstered their D-line in free agency this offseason. I can imagine the organization isn’t too pleased with being unable to get rid of him.
“We’re glad to have him back,” said Jauron, who spoke before McCargo. “John’s happy, I think. And we’re happy, so here we go.”
According to numerous reports, McCargo failed his physical in Indianapolis because of a bulging disc in his back. Jauron said McCargo was cleared by the Bills before the trade, though he noted that each NFL team has a different set of standards when it comes to physicals.
Well yeah, there’s the standard of “This guy is healthy and can actually be of service to other teams” clearance. And then there’s the “Ship this bag of ass out of town for whatever we can get for him” clearance. You see, a football team is like a family, and when a member of a family becomes useless, you kick them to the curb and get a new member of your family. That’s what they always told me in the foster homes, anyway.
[The AP, yeah you know me!]

Erik Flowers thinks McCargo was a shiity draft pick.
/Flowers = worst first round draft pick by the Bills until McCargo was drafted
* Flowers was Buffalo’s first round pick in 2000. Bills fans try to forget this.
Punter breakin out Naughty By Nature??? Maybe you aren’t as pasty as I thought!
/checks out KSK
//even pastier
“Stop and think about how competitive the market for large, obese men really is.”
- Totally. There’s this bar in Chelsea called Lumberjacks & Lollipops, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to get in on Thursday for “fat guys and reach arounds” night.
But Coach Goldie Hawn said Finch would be a great addition to the team!
That’s what they always told me in the foster homes, anyway.
Until the Retraining Order you were served with last week, that is.
I try to forget most things about the last 8 years UU.
Wasn’t this the pick Mel Kiper made fun of on draft day in 2006? Its pretty bad when you make Mel Kiper look right.
BTW, here is McCargo’s website. It features this tidbit:
“I haven’t really vacationed much.”
I have a feeling you’ll have a lot of vacation time on your hands soon my friend.
Mike Williams makes Erik Flowers look like Bruce Smith. When one draft pick sets a team as far back as Williams did you know you’re a flaming pile of shit.
@The Sports Machine. No that was Donte Whitner. The Pro Bowl caliber safety. Proving once and again that Kiper is full of shit.
bulging disc in his back > bulging dick in his back
Who’s down with the AP? Every last lady!
We could have used the depth on the D-line, but I can’t muster anything more than a “meh” about this development.
I wonder if he has a hard time dialing a phone.
@289, yes Williams was a piece of shit. I rank Flowers a little more of a bust due to the fact he only last 2 years in Buffalo, while Williams lasted for 4 years.
That’s a good thing?
@289, good point. Either way, fuck it. It’s in the past. Let’s look forward to the Bills getting back on track this week against the Chargers.
