Reasons for picking Kyle Williams- This might sound corny, but there are very few players who fit the gritty underdog mentality of Buffalo, New York, more than Kyle Williams. Prior to being drafted by the Bills in the 5th round and becoming a fan favorite, Williams was a lifelong Louisiana native, growing up in the small city of Ruston and committing to LSU. He was a starting defensive tackle on LSU’s 2003 team that won the National Championship, and became a leader on LSU’s defensive line in 2004, finishing Second-team All-SEC in 2004, while leading the defensive line in tackles (57). As a senior in 2005, Williams finished First-team All-SEC and helped lead a defense that finished #3 in the country in scoring defense and total defense, and #6 in run defense. He was also credited with giving an epic halftime speech that rallied LSU to a 16-13 overtime victory in Alabama that year.
However, scouts did not believe Williams could be a starter in the NFL. Though praising his leadership characteristics, his scouting report described him as, “Not strong at the point and driven off the ball by opponents. Marginal skills as a pass rusher.” Additionally, at just 6’1 and 299 pounds, it was believed that Williams was simply too undersized to play defensive tackle at the next level. Williams wound up falling to the 5th round of the 2006 NFL Draft before being selected by the Buffalo Bills, who had already drafted a defensive tackle in the first round: John McCargo. In 2006, however, it would be McCargo who struggled with conditioning and staying healthy, while Williams made an immediate impact. By midway through his rookie season, Williams had taken over the starting job at nose tackle, and would never give it back. He was named a starter at defensive tackle before the start of the 2007 season, and would start every game he played in for the rest of his career: His accomplishments include 6 Pro Bowl appearances, 2 First-team All-Pro honors and ranking among the Bills career leaders in sacks, tackles, tackles for loss and games played.
I used to hate William Nylander so much. There was a point where I could say he was probably my most hated athlete. I thought that his contract holdout was just over pure greed. The next year, I justified Marner's situation by saying that at least Marner never missed games, while Nylander sat out a bunch of games for his contract. I desperately wanted him gone from my team. I was willing to trade him for even a 5th round pick, just because I'd say I rather have someone who is proud to wear this teams jersey and play for the name on the front, not the back. I didn't care if he scored 80 goals in a season, I wasn't going to forgive him.
I was so wrong about everything. As this season has shown, if theres anyone who loves being a Leaf, it's Willy. He loves his teammates, and he loves playing for this team. He plays with such passion and energy and there's no quit in him. He isn't just here for a paycheck. And as things turned out, he basically took less money to be able to stay with us in the long run, as opposed to get more short term money in a bridge deal. Plus, now considering other players' contracts, Willy probably has the most undervalued contract in the entire NHL.
The fact that he's played like a star this year is a bonus. What I primarily want is players that are proud to put on the Maple Leaf on their chest every night, and you can't find more dedication than William Nylander.
Willy, I'm sorry for everything I've said about you and how much I hated you. I eat my words. Go on. Bring the Cup home.
This post will discuss, in brief, violent sexual assault.
As with all 4chan “leaks,” this could be complete garbage. However, the statements regarding William Hurt unfortunately do have some real-world backing.
Here is the full text of that 4chan post, presented as written:

Marvel will be using the Thunderbolts set up to silently dump William Hurt, who’s rape accusations are threatening to resurface.
An insider claims that Marvel will use Ross’s transformation into Red Hulk, which will be a permanent change in this universe, to cast Ross with a different voice actor.
This is why he has also been downplayed in the Black Widow marketing.
Red Hulk will result from trying to reverse engineer US Agent’s blood for the serum, mirroring that of Captain America’s resulting in Hulk.
Here are the accusations from 2010, which actually date back to the 80s.

>In one particularly dark passage, Matlin described a night when Hurt raped her after coming home drunk around 4:30 a.m. while filming “Broadcast News.” The actress wrote that the Oscar-winner woke her up and “the next thing I knew he’d pulled me out of the bed, screaming at me, shaking me.”
> “I was scared, I was sobbing,” she continued. “Then he threw me on the bed, started ripping off his clothes and mine. I was crying. ‘No, no, no. Please Bill, no.’ The next thing I remember is Bill ramming himself inside me as I sobbed.”
In response, William Hurt offered this

>"My own recollection is that we both apologized and both did a great deal to heal our lives. Of course, I did and do apologize for any pain I caused. And I know we have both grown. I wish Marlee and her family nothing but good."

I love reddit (shouldn’t have said that), and have a weird relationship with r/NewZealand I try not to visit/post too much anymore and it’s weird/not healthy to read about myself to much.
Thanks so much for all the support, but I’m also aware I get a fair but of criticism, some people are dicks but most of the stuff that I see is largely fair enough.
My main interests are Comedy, NZ Comedy, Politics and Sports (Toronto Raptors and Aston Villa).
I also have a great theory that more people should get into stand up just a hobby! It’s great fun!
