The only thing Super and “Super-Mario” is his nickname. He has never lived up the all the hype.

He’ll be broke before he’s 40.

Another fine example of the dysfunctional salary structure in professional sports. All of us working stiffs could never imagine getting paid for non-production. The corporate environment would not allow that and will only pay for what we did “most recently” in the form of productivity incentives. And that is the way is should be for the NFL, NBA, MLB, etc.

Howard Cossell, the man responsible for the demise of thousands of TV sets, used to label rookies playing with “reckless abandon” until they signed the big contracts. Then production declined. Yet they still got paid their accelerated wage.

Mario – enjoy your luxurious situation, alienate the fans that help pay your salary, and continue to play like crap. Perhaps then will the sporting world realize how far-fetched it is to pay someone like you for what you did in the past, not the here-and-now.

Nice moe Buffalo!!!

I’m not giving up on Mario, yet. A lot of people fail to remember what happened when Julius Peppers came to Chicago on what was the largest contract for a defensive player at the time.

Julius Peppers first 9 games with Chicago = 2 Sacks

Mario WIlliams first 7 games with Buffalo = 3.5 Sacks.

It all just hinders on whether he decides to do his wrist surgery this bye week.

Maybe he should care about the expectations of the guy signing his checks. Big mouth goof.

Worry not Bills fans, Mario will transform into a different player when it doesn’t matter….watch.

I’m going to lose my mind if I hear one more bills fan say that they sell out every game. They have not sold out every game since 2009, and are on pace for 4 games not to sell out this year.

The fans here are full of it. If you’re sooo great, then go buy a ticket and support your team in December.

Enough is enough.

The guy is a $100 million professional football player. He wasn’t paid to be a one-dimensional bull rusher, which would require a strong, healthy wrist. If he is physically unable to bull rush, he needs to use more speed & finesse moves to get to the QB. He would only have an excuse if his wrist was broken or shattered, otherwise it means nothing.

Wait a minute, Mario Williams still plays in the NFL? Haven’t heard his name since last yr. Reggie Bush is smiling somewhere

Let’s wait until after next year. Remember, Jay Cutler didn’t look too good in his first year with Chicago- that worked out pretty well.

If he isn’t doing better after next season, then you can start to worry about him.

Boy good thing the Texans chose him over Reggie Bush back in 2006.

Bush has a Superbowl ring

Williams has a hurt wrist

Let the billboards rise and the boos rain on Mario.

I had high hopes for this guy coming in, even so as a Bills fan I knew he was overhyped to a degree but instead he’s a flat out douchbag, and piss poor player to boot.

Is this giant of a man really blaming a wrist injury? Jack Youngblood will be giving you a call soon Mr. Williams.

I’m happy you Bills fans told LA to stick it! The team belongs in BUFFALO! Keep making movies out there and stay away from the NFL. You have proven that you will not support a franchise.

This sounds like a case of life’s priorities changing once you are guaranteed tens of millions of dollars over many, many years.

Atleast he should have been smart enough not to say “I don’t care about people’s expectations of me.” There’s tens of thousand of Buffalo Bills season ticket holders who spend more than a thousand dollars a year expecting their team to perform at the highest level possible. A good chunk of all that money went into this dude’s pocket.

just try, mario. as a bills fan who is only old enough to remember as far back as the beginning of their playoff drought, just TRY. give us something to be excited about, and show us that were all wrong for doubting you and this organization

I feel sorry for the people of Buffalo,
I mean, they live in Buffalo!
Then there`s no NHL hockey to distract them this fall.
And then there are the Bills…. worst team with 3 wins in the NFL.

I’ll bet he’ll cares when they cut his useless ass.

Then nobody will want anything to do with him. I hope he’s budgeting that guaranteed money, if not he’ll be broke in the next 5 years

Williams was also heard to say “Hey I’ve made my mega millions and if I suck it up the rest of my career who cares ? I’ll just hang on the bench with my buddy Merriman and we’ll keep laughing all the way to the bank while the suckers in the stands boo our sorry rear ends.”

Quite apart from the “I got paid“ attitude, he must be pissed that Houston`s D is so good without him and maybe headed to the Super Bowl. But hey, he gets to go to Toronto once a season !

So glad the Bears didn’t wanna throw him the kind of money he demanded. I know we paid Peppers a boat load but at least he’s producing and living up to his contract.

I feel bad for Bills fans if he keeps up this attitude. You have some nice pieces to build on and his contract will hurt you cap wise to sign more reliable players.

I’m quite aware you don’t care about expectations, the fans, the team, the coaches or anything else. I’ve watched every play of every game you’ve played this year and it’s quite obvious you don’t care in the least about any of us. As a life-long Bills fan, it hurts.

At some point in time, if nothing else, I would think you would start to care about your own pride. You have taken a beating this season from all angles on your play, attitude, and lack of leadership and you have done nothing to prove anyone wrong. You are proving all the nay-sayers right and you don’t care.

Remember when Singletary saw V. Davis not playing hard? He pulled him from the game and kicked him off the sidelines. It sent Vernon a message and he flipped the switch to become the game-changing TE he was expected to be from then on. Will it work with Mario? I don’t know, but he isn’t doing us any good out there.

Joke is on the Bills and their fans for spending so much money and expecting so much from this guy.
He hasn’t had double digit sacks in years, and has only done that twice in 6 complete seasons. Not a guy I would even come close to giving a record contract to.

Since when is seven games into a season enough to judge a players long term contract worth? O yea since this year when everyone already has the super bowl champs picked out (texans or falcons) and has anointed rgIII to the H.O.F. Already which writing off the best QB in the league in Aaron Rodgers (how’s that working out btw). How bout we let the guy at least get an entire year under his belt before we crucify him? Every bills fan knows he’s not playing very well right now, but who the eff on this team is? Our first round pick gets shredded every week and our linebackers look lost, I bet jj watt would have a tough time on this team right now, maybe…
