Willis Changes His Tune: "Proud" of the Buffalo Bills

Agents can be good for two things: Negotiating contracts, and damage control. After Willis McGahee told Penthouse that the league should move the Bills to Toronto, you could almost hear the keyboard in Drew Rosenhaus' office banging away, offering up an apology. In a statement, McGahee says it was all taken out of context. As appeared in The Buffalo News:

"It has been brought to my attention that through an article I did with Penthouse magazine, fans and readers may have misinterpreted my response when asked about the possibility of the NFL one day coming to Toronto.

"I want to make it clear today as I have been committed to the Bills for the last four years that my heart is with the Bills and the city of Buffalo. If the league decided to expand my intent was that Toronto is a beautiful place to do so. I never would suggest the Buffalo Bills move to Toronto. My words were taken out of context and I suggested they get a team with a loyal fan base and organization such as the Buffalo Bills. My family and I have made our home here and enjoy the hospitality of the city. I am a proud member of the Buffalo Bills, we have the most loyal, supportive and dedicated fans in the world, and I cannot think of a better organization to be a part of."

Who actually believes McGahee sat down and wrote this? Anyone? Here's how I imagine it went down: Rosenhaus knew his leverage for extending McGahee's deal in Buffalo was all but gone, so he had he people type this. Then he called Willis' cellphone, read it to him, and Willis mumbled "go ahead."

Former GM Tom Donahoe was never able to fully shake the "I am ashamed to be part of this community" quote. Will Bills fans forgive and forget Willis' quote?
