Where some see a sports icon, and a superstar generating blockbuster media ratings, others see with smaller eyes.

The Buffalo Bills were NFL pushovers for nearly two decades. For the last half of a decade, the Bills have been a force in the NFL. The transition began the moment Sean McDermott arrived in town. Put a number on that.

I agree wholeheartedly with the premise of this thread. In fact, my entire family agrees with this premise. Moreover, at family reunions we usually end up around the campfire, agreeing with this premise long into the summer night...

Metaphors are timeless. Some day you'll understand.

The reference was to a name which has become a metaphor for speed. But thanks for the biographic details.

Yes, he is fast. But note that this was a Master's Division race. That wasn't Usain Bolt in the lane next to him.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I've enjoyed 'Buffalo being Buffalo.'

Chris Brown's play by play is like his daily radio show: while he screams into the mic, listeners are supposed to (I guess) equate volume with enthusiasm. Unlistenable.

Domes literally lack atmosphere. As they stifle the elements, domes deaden the game.

The Bi-Lateral Misconception.

In an NFL city whose fan base, over the long haul, has been more celebrated than the team, Murphy personifies the Mafia. There is rhyme, rhythm, reason, and a touch of poetry in that.

John Lang is an absolute mensch. Surely you remember mensch from your high school Yiddish course. I directed a charity event for 15 years in a row before handing the event off to the next director. I asked John Lang to show up for the first one and he showed up for the next 14 as well. He asked for nothing and added a lot of heart and soul to the event. He dresses like Elvis, but he's actually Clark Kent.

The buffalos are already iconic.

Keepin' my eyes on the prize(s).

Take it from one who knows: Josh Allen openly and repeatedly gushes over Singletary.

After a game, in the parking lot of the Big Tree Inn, a friend and I talked for over a half hour to Kent Hull. He spoke in a soft drawl, a southern gentleman through and through, and seemingly unaware that he was a famous football star. In person, he was taller and thinner than he seemed on TV. A beer can in his hand looked like it held 6 ounces. Impressive, to say the least.

No, McDermott has never claimed the Bills are the best prepared team in the NFL. Others have claimed that about his teams, but not McDermott himself. Thanks for asking.

Godspeed, 23.

Oh my! Do they pay them?

Can we cancel the 'god' thing. Remember Matt Araiza?

OJ over Bruce by a nose, with Allen gaining on the backstretch.

Weren't Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs available? "Wooly Bully" never fails to get my toes a-tappin'.

Roger Kochman, the seismic sensation of '62.

I just returned from the Return of the Blue and Red. Can I say Gabriel Davis and Eric Moulds in the same sentence? I hope so, 'cause I just did.

Unlistenable.
