The editor is a hack and wanted to get his name and website out there and it worked. He should be held accountable for spewing defamatory liable trash. Lights out should file a defamation suit.

The story is a reach at best…Buffalosportsdaily is a minor league as the Bills these days…

It is illegal to bring them across the border.

If he didn’t cross they would just be confiscated.

There had been a rumor floating around on twitter for a couple of days. People asking “Did Merriman get busted with steroids at the border?”.

Then yesterday, a Buffalo radio station (WGR550) mentioned that there was a rumor out there about a Bills player, but they weren’t going to mention it because it’s just an unconfirmed rumor. I ran to twitter, and quickly found out what the rumor was. Apparently, BuffaloSportsDaily did the same thing, because about 30 minutes later, they tweet: “REPORT: MERRIMAN CAUGHT WITH STEROIDS AT THE CANADIAN BORDER”.

It definitely looks like this chump just “reported” a twitter-rumor. One that should have been extremely easy to prove (was he charged with anything?) if true.

Leave the “reporting” to the professionals buddy.

That usually ended happily. But Shawn must get the celebrity treatment, they never let me bring a suitcase and stay for awhile.

For those who might not know, just over the border are a ton of strip clubs and “massage therapy” centers where the patrons leave very happy.

If he possessed this at the border, and refused to admit that the substance was steroids, he’d be free to go but the substance might be confiscated if there was a reason to believe that it was steroids. The substance would be sent to a lab for identification. The results would be returned to the submitter, and forwarded to an AUSA for presentation to a grand jury for indictment if the substance was anabolic steroids.

Just because he was free to go, doesn’t mean he’s free from prosecution. If it’s steroids, we’ll know.

As a avid delusion bills fan, im really irritated dude broke a story to bring the team and fans down. Whatever happened to not ratting? Especially prematurely.

Nice big news dude. Thought maybe the bills got a tackle not Merriman allegedly had roids.
