May Day 10

He runs like molasses (in comparison to nfl athletes), he is not physically at all, and is late to nearly every play. All it seems he can do is dive at a ball carrier's shins. But apparently he knows the defense and can be trusted. They really need to monitor the cut wire in attempt to improve the safety position. Not sure they could cut Hamlin at this point due to the state of the position group. Even if they added a safety.

Art was a great entertainer and a real talent on the radio. It was almost "appointment radio" back in the day. The bills and sabres were both good and you wanted to hear him air his grievance of the day in his "don't get me started" monologue. I can recite his entire show theme song. He was alone on the air, but carried the show so well and was entertaining, playing a character of himself. All of his little sayings, biases, banning the mentioning of Eric lindros, flipping out when a caller opened with "what's up?", describing himself as a 6' Robert Redford look-alike, playing an angry character... it was gold. Caller after caller would push his buttons and it was a top performance every day. Im bummed he passed away. I thought of him just the other day and couldn't believe he was still kicking. Just another piece of my younger life gone forever. OttawaOttawaOttawa, smilin Jerry meehan, tagliabooboo, waitaminute waitaminute waitaminute waitaminute,

At the end, he could have trashed the team and city, nobody would have blamed him... but he didn't. He handled it all with class and I'll always appreciate that.

I remember the horror noise of calling someone who was connected to the internet through their phone line

I dont think so. I don't think a championship makes a statue automatic. Kemp was very ordinary of a qb.

No championship, no statue

I honestly feel lukewarm on everyone in the Division and think it is a silly division for the Bills to be in. Always wanted them to be in a great lakes/rust belt type division with similar teams and general cultures like Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cincy, etc. If I hate anyone the most, oddly, it would be the most uncommon answer, it is the Jets. I loathe NYC sports fans. I want to see that franchise in the sewer forever.

It is the "200" level seats beneath the main scoreboard. 203-241 Back in the very beginning of the drought, there were no auxiliary scoreboards on the tunnel end, and these seats could not see the scoreboard and were heavily discounted. They have continued through as the cheapest tickets in the stadium and have maintained pretty flush with STH.

We got 9 stacked seats in 325, last 2 rows. We are coming from pretty much the same exact seats in section 201. Last row, under canopy, a couple steps from the concourse. $2k psl and $1380 per seat/season. A steep price increase, but the rockpile is not considered the cheapest area in the new stadium. We feel like we have a hidden gem in the back row end zone of rich stadium. New highmark looks even better with a wall behind us, and concourse 3 steps away.

I would be open to upgrade. I think we need/want 6 seats together though. Im thinking maybe front row for whatever our equivalent new rockpile section will be. Our goal is first row or last row. Aisle a bonus.

So my group is in 201. The heart of the rockpile. We have had our seats for over 20 years. We got the call and are going Virtual as a group Wednesday morning. Im thinking we should be able to get really good seats for our section because we seem to be very early from a rockpile standpoint.

I feel like Jones would over-value Cook based on his RB history

A+ Thread. Would read again

They were conducting the Lachman test which is a field test to determine if the ACL is intact. They pretty much know on the spot.

He was one of my favorites as a kid of the 80s. I remember one of my favorite shirts was a caricature of him with his baseball card stats on the back.

This is the truth. An indoor facility in Philly would have huge potential for semi-regular large-scale events. Nobody else on the eastern seaboard would offer a venue of that size. Philly is a major city. They would get many premium events. Buffalo, if they built an indoor stadium would not be getting many premium events that their outdoor stadium couldn't host. The nearby/regional competition for these events are/will be much more attractive cities like Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Indy, Cleveland, Nashville, and even Minnesota. We aren't an attractive market to host NCAA football games. No chance for a super bowl. I am sure they studied what events they could/would attract and it didnt come close to justifying the additional costs (roof itself, HVAC, etc). These cities aren't bigger and better because of their indoor stadiums. They are bigger and better because they have been attractive for major commerce, tech, etc. People live and sustain life in a vibrant downtown setting. Buffalo just can't get going.

I hate Pete Guelli

Im starting to get nervous. Rockpile sitter, and I see them starting to eat into those areas a little bit. It doesn't feel like our "turn" is very close. STH for 20 years now. I get why the process has been run this way, but it doesn't seem entirely fair that we are worried about getting locked out and/or get the absolute last choice. I/we would have upgraded our seats 2 years ago if we knew this would be rolled out this way.

What an absolutely devastating thing.

I agree. Red helmets look trashy compared to their look now. Id appreciate them as a 1-game throwback nostalgia thing. More than that is too much. Similar to the Sabres' goat head uniforms. Those things have become way too frequent, after the fanbase fought tooth and nail for years to get rid of those things not-all-that-long ago

A cool thing is from the Skyway, this thing looms LARGE.

That was a good choice. I thought during that season that team had the goods to be regarded as one of the best NFL teams of all-time. They got stung by injuries, weather/scheduling, and also the Hamlin ordeal. They were absolutely worn-out once the playoffs came around. Really could have/should have been 15-1 with that stupid Vikings loss and the Heat Stroke Bowl. I did think they were heading toward a pounding on MNF against the Bengals prior to the Hamlin injury. The Bengals were pissed and running right through the Bills. I wonder what would have happened if the injury never happened, the Bills kept a mental edge, and the Bengals got their angry-edge out of the way (and perhaps giving the Bills the angry-edge).

I feel like the current uniforms are pretty much perfection

Im still a ways away (although its approaching faster than I want to believe). Right now, I think Tennessee is winning. 2nd Place is somewhere in Arizona. A lot depends on where my kids end up too.

These are all terrible IMO. Some good songs, but not great in 2025 as hype music for an NFL team. Depends on the situation I guess. I think 'Immigrant Song' would be great as an intro/take the field song.
