American Tatonkas

Hello Billlllllzzzz fans This is American Tatonkas the Bills Gorilla, We have had a blast the last three years in tailgating at Arrowhead and last year Pinto Kenny and myself merged forces and had a great tailgate party. We are doing the same this year. I will have two grills going and games, music, you name it. and shots as well. I see the post has gotten on here for the meet up and convoy into the stadium so visit that thread "kc and bills tailgate" See you all there, and as the poster said there phone numbers will be given out so good luck and see you there for our first win of the season.

Again I hope he is signed because I would hate for someone else to get him and he turns out to be great.

Play out the season with Fitz he can do well if not as good as Trent anyways. Then yes redraft next year and see what veterans are available.

Much better put my friend

definately motivating, especially Woods comments.

It wouldnt hurt to sign for a one year deal with conditions. It is a low risk high return possibility.

I am OK with this. I like Walker, Levitre, Hang, Wood, Butler as our Beast Masters. Release the Beast!!!!!

"In Wood's final two seasons at Louisville, he was credited with more than 180 knockdowns, which wasn't easy from the center position where he was attempting to get his 310-pound frame under defensive tackles weighing at least as much, if not more. Wood played with a simple philosophy. The moment the tackle tried to get separation on a running play, he would "dump him in the dirt." And if the tackle left his feet to try and get his hands in front of a pass, he was "going to hit the ground." This was from Vic C, I think but I love the statements here. And I agree with Sen John Butler, The Beast is in fact a great shaker but he does so much of it within 1 to 3 or 4 yards of the LOS. With this new line and hopefully with the Hurry Up Offense (the Stun Gun) I believe Lynch will still make over 1000 yards with 4 games off this year.

Well I agree that Turk is a factor but really it is all on Trents shoulders. He needs to play a whole lot better than in the past to fit all the hype he has gotten. I am rooting for him, but I dont see the acuracy that so many claim he has, I have seen some great saving catches by the WR corp though. So here is hoping that Trent continues to get better and stays healthy this year. If that happens we will have a winning season.

I think our OL should be called the BLUE MEN because of Levitrie and Wood The blue is for Viagra pill

IRON MAYBIN IS A MUST, IT IS ABSOLUTLY THE BEST OF ALL I HAVE HEARD.

LOL ok relaxing.

OK If I sat on the boards or associations he does and approve or disapprove what ever all the time (if that is what he does) then I can see where his agitation comes from. But I dont see any criticisms per say but attacks and negitive assumptions. And really I dont want to argue, I would rather leave than to try and prove my validity in goals and aspirations. But then if I leave, people that do that kind of thing wins. A catch 22 for me. Again I have been as forth coming as I can and dont believe any of the negitives on here are warranted. Now if I came on here and began bragging that I am so cool and the best author of all times, and all you peasants can be a part of a huge project. Then it would be different. But I didnt. I hope you understand and can also stay positive here.

Kinda wordy huh? LOL Well he wouldnt quit and I am not after a NY Times Best seller lol so Oprah is safe. Dr. Phil is a good idea he might just have me committed. Just hope it is after I get the book published. Gods Speed.

I salute you for your honesty and humble character. Very refreshing on these boards. With that said, I have watched Youboty his SR year in college and every year in the NFL and each year he has only gotten better a little bit but better none the less. His injury slowed down his playing time but man can he lay the lumber, and this year I think he will be in the running for #3 if not #2. Lets see what happens.

Most DE in the league are in an average window of 240 to 260 only a couple are over that. Peppers is one of the biggest and he is around 270.

Good point. I have some good fans already contributing but want as many as I can so I can choose 50 of them. I have one that is actually representing the Ball Burglar as well. Very Cool.

Thank you Cookiemonster. Gods Speed, and I will be looking forward to your entry.

Criticism I can handle when it is time after a job is done. This is just pure venom to degrade me. Again I am not one to get all angry or want to argue or fight. I spent 12 years fighting in Military, 5 years fighting as a cop, 2 years listening to arguments as a family counselor, and now work for Head Start serving the best I can the low income families that have thier own share of fights to deal with. I come on these boards for my release to feel good about the Buffalo Bills. that is my get away. So I dont need this from you. Bump yes and I will continue to do so till May 15th. then I will sift through all the entries and see who the 50 will be. And so you know this is an idea myself and two other posters from another board talked about 2 years ago and had nothing to do with the 50th. But it just makes sinse for me to add that here and to start the book now because if they move or become another team after Mr. Wilson dies I as a fan can say I did this for our team in the end. that is my reasoning brother. And you can keep attacking me because of all your experience in the field, well I say good for you and your experience, and all the boards and committees you work with, but I am 44 years old and love my Buffalo Bills, and am going to continue to post or bump or what ever else. Even though now you have already damaged the positives of this thread. Do us all a favor and go heckle a priest or something else you love doing.

I am sure you accomplished what you were after and that is downgrading my efforts here to open this opportunity for regular fans. Cant help but to say I am disgusted.

So again an attack. I am a nice guy and dont understand your reasoning to downgrade what I am trying to do here. Unless it is to get more people to buy your book what ever it might be. Look. I am just a bills fan that got excited about the idea of this book. You might have a ton of money and a great publisher and live for tearing down the dignity of those that dont and are trying to fullfill or act on a small dream. I dont know. but this is what I do know, I am still going to write this book, I am still going to pay the $2000+ to selfpublish it and I want it to be from the input from fans that I talk to all the time so it is from them. Dose that mean I am a creep trying to benefit from the 50th? No. I want some fans that are positive about the team, about what they do, and see it in print. That is a cool thing. I only broke even with my first book and that is OK too, I thought it was neat that my daughters and family can see I wrote a book and they can have that book for thier children and my great great grandchildren that I will never meet. At no time do I SEEK OUT fillers to make it a larger page count or what ever you called it. the same is true with this book for me. I want it to show my fanmanship to the Buffalo Bills and not some evil plot to screw anyone. So again if you dont want to contribute then dont. I can only promise to those that contribute a free book and bragging rights that thier voice is heard in print. Thats all. I only make 40gs a year working for Head Start friend. quit busting my balls.

So do you think this is the most used recipe then? Or at least a Buffalo favorite?

Well send it in with your Fanmanship story friend.

Your story does not have to be about tailgating as long as it deals with your fanmanship sort of speak. I do however need a tailgate recipe as well as your story. Good luck.

Wow, really? Okay I should ignore this post but I can see the negitive criticisms may be developed through ignorance of the outline of the book as a whole. And also I have never understood why so many feel it is necessary to tear down or degrade the good that others try and do in life. Anyway not because I should, but because I want to share a small outline of the ENTIRE book. Chapter One: Introduction of 50 years of Buffalo Bills football. through research and study I will write about the stadiums from the beginning, to cover the rock pile, to Rich stadium to the name change of Ralph Wilson stadium, and so much more. Chapter Two: Bringing to the forefront what all of this means to the fans of Buffalo, to get YOUR input to get YOUR stories not just the story of a single (me) Bills fan. but to show the spirit of those TRUE fans who really do care about the team and what it means to them. This I cant make up. Chapter Three: 50 recipes of actual fans that frequent Buffalo Bills games no matter where in the country they might be. this again to show input from Bills Nation not just 50 recipes that I can put together in one night. This is not about me, sheeesh its about 50 years of Buffalo Bills tailgating and fanmanship. Chapter Four: a closing chapter with my perspective of what I am doing now and that is interacting with Bills Fans everywhere and what does the Bills Fan really represent. What is the "real" spirit of the Buffalo Bills fan. Now not that you deserved this explanation, no one is writing this book for me. But the reader cannot get the perspective of the fans by me making it all up because then it would be MY perspective of the fans. With all that said if you still want to submit a recipe and your story I will look at it, but if you dont like it then please just dont reply, thank you and good luck.
