  1. Chappy....I hear you. My Mom just passed and was only 72 years old. She loved our Bills. It made me sad going through her stuff and seeing her "Whammy Miami" T-shirt, and all the other crazy gear she had colleced and pinned her hopes on, and to realize her football dream would never come true. The last ten years of her life were tough ones to be a fan. As her health failed and she watched more and more TV, I used to tease her about watching "Dancing with the Stars" and other crap like that. She would say "Unlike the Bills, sometimes I pick a winner". It always made me laugh that we shared the same miserable Sunday together 70 miles apart, and then we could talk on the phone about what we saw. But the last bunch a years there hasn't been much to cheer about. The last game I went to with here was the Raiders game we came back in two years ago to go 4 or 5 and 1. My mom told me on the way out that we had no business being in htat game and we were outplayed in every facet. She knew football. She died with a level of uncertainty that frankly was unfair to her support as a fan. All I can say is.......When ralph gets to meet her I hope she kicks his feeble ass. Me, I'm still glued to the set on sunday. I do DVR the games and watch them in delay. I've found you can watch a game in about an hour and a half. When I start at 2:30, I get part of my sunday back, and still get the same bad feeling the Bills gave me live. I go to Two bills drive and read the highlights, but I don't take my kids to games, and I don't drink the koolaid anymore. I'm not off the bandwagon, I'm more like skeetching trying to decide whether to let go or not. Some unforseen force prevents it. I wish I could give you hope, but I'll just say you aren't alone. Take Care
  2. Are you kidding me....who thinks this is a bad idea? Embarrassing the owner nationally might just get the point accross. We deserve better. I applaud the fan (yes....derived from the word "fanatic") and his willingness to take the bull by the horn and do something. Will it work? I doubt it, but its something. All you fans that just sit there and wait for something better ought to be impressed. Where can I send him my 10 bucks? And by the way. If they raised the price of a ticket 10 bucks and gave us a compettitve team, would the Ralph be sold out. Of course. This a-hole ralph treats us like a wife abuser. Treats us like we are too worthless to have anything good, by constantly reminding us we are a small market team. What about Pittsburgh. The old man is a loser. Period. I'm angry and embarrassed nationally. I'd wear bills gear if they cared, but right now, all my Bills stuff embarrasses me. And yes, I talk a big story, but Sunday I'll be watching.
  3. "Blown up Sir!"
  4. And yet they mock us. "Are you a Bills Fan?" Funny as hell.
  5. I can root against the team. I can seperate logic from emotion. The emotional side says..."this is my team. go Bills!" The logical thinker in me says "how can I fix what is broken?" and that is to root for change. Loss=Change. I won't be there at the game, but I dislike DJ so much I would surely boo when he makes his usual: A. Bad decision to throw a challenge. B. Bad decision to not throw a challenge. C. Bad decision to Punt on 4th down. D. Bad decision to let TE throw a 3 yard pass on 3rd and 8. E. Bad decision to claim winning is difficult. F. Bad decision to not change his facial expression. G. Bad decision to not coach. Boo!.....that was easy. Steve
  6. Isn't that the script from "Slapshot"?
  7. I remember becoming a bills fan in about 4th or 5th grade. I was allways mad when other kids wore Dolphins or Cowboys jerseys. "But we're from Buffalo!". I just couldn't understand how they could cheer for a community they didn't belong to. Yesterday, my 10 year old son was sitting with me on the couch, watching the slaughter at the hands of the winless dolphins, when he said to me "Dad, I can't wait to beat the Steelers, so I can rub it in to my teacher (A big steelers fan)". He was so sincere and actually has that spirit that sadly took 48 years to be sucked completely out of me. I can't stop supporting the Bills, but I want something better for my children. Ironically, I see quite a few kids wearing non-Bills jerseys around town. That probably wouldn't be the case if Bernie (Ralph) cared. I just have no reason to be optimistic. If any non-Bills fans who live in the Buffalo area caould share how hey escaped from the Bills. Was i a certain game, a playoff run, a gift of a Jersys from Grandpa the Giants fan.....what can I do to get my kids to not be Bills fans? I'm serious. Steve in Rochester
