  1. He didn't play special teams for long, but Jason Peters was an absolute wrecking ball on kick returns. That was back when the wedge blocking formation was still legal -- and Peters would obliterate the wedge singlehandedly. The dude was 300+ lbs. and really pretty fast; helluva lot of momentum. You could almost see the startled look on the returner's face when his blockers just dissolved.
  2. Thanks, Chan. That was (just a tad) before I was aware of the Bills, but did anyone in Buffalo actually refer to Jack Kemp as "Jackie" back then, or was that just a highlight-reel thing? Also, my brothers and I sure didn't care for Joe Namath back in the day (with his shaving cream and panty-hose commercials and all that, LOL), but I have to admit -- he did throw a nice ball.
  3. Thanks, Chan, you made my morning! Pity that Bobby Burnett blew his knee out later and never had a chance to build on that promising rookie year. Also, can you believe that George Blanda was already a *17* year veteran in 1966!
  4. Chan, I like it better when you post old videos of wins ... 😵‍💫
  5. Oh yeah, Moulds was one mean SOB with the ball in his hands. He would look for safeties to knock over.
  6. LOL, I remember my high school bowling team -- barely a vowel among them!
  7. No Kent Hull, Chan?
  8. Not ranking, but Ben Williams and Sherm White were stalwarts on the Bills defensive line mid 70s - mid 80s. White had 63 career sacks between Bills and Bengals. They were overshadowed by the "Bermuda Triangle" in early 80s, but both of those guys were dangerous pass rushers and very stout against the run.
  9. Yeah ... I'm at the age where I'm generally the one saying "I don't get it", and my boys are like "me neither", while cracking up.
  10. Geez Chan ... did you really have to bring that one up? 😵‍💫 And we had even beaten them in the regular season, on the road. So many missed chances in that freakin' game, plus Fergy playing on a fractured ankle. Well, screw it ... just one before we die, brother!! 😀
  11. Thanks d2d; I realize that's the line I've been groping for for decades! 😀
  12. Nice story; thanks Ray -- and Merry Xmas! (But putting snowballs in the freezer? I take it your kids haven't spent a winter in WNY! 😀 )
  13. Ah, you young'ns! Or you could set the DeLorean to 1965 and go to the original Laux Sporting Goods at the Boulevard Mall -- and pick up some groceries at Acme Market while you're there. 😀
  14. "gutted and grilled" ... that's some fine old-time sports-writing, Chan! 😆 My boys will never understand why I still hate the Fish more than the Pats. I just tell them, "It's a 70s thing!"
