The Real Buffalo Joe

Ohio State.

Exactly. I remember when the rumors first came out about Bon Jovi around the time of the Toronto game. Bon Jovi's publicist said something along the lines of "Out of respect for Mr. Wilson, my client is not interested at this time in buying and moving the Buffalo Bills because they're not for sale." So you want to move them when/if that happens? I can't find the exact quote, but it was along those lines.

Nice. I've been trolling him on Twitter since then. Also shows that he no longer works for the paper.

I was steaming. I called the sports editor and left a not so nice message. Look at the date. That was the day that he died. It was the most disrespectful thing I've ever read.

Somebody should have written an article to celebrate his death like this jackass did. http://www.thestar.com/sports/football/2014/03/25/ralph_wilsons_death_opens_door_ever_so_slightly_for_nfl_in_toronto_kelly.html

I blame the blue clown pants.

Could this mean that their bid would be invalid, therefore not even doing anything to drive up the price?

You forgot the part about Mary Wilson just being a money hungry gold digger. And the fact that the Trust already knows the team is going to Toronto, but is purposfully drawing it out to strss out the fans.

So even though we knew Toronto was all but officially out of the running, assuming this is legit, would this be a nail in the coffin for them? Can the trust even negotiate with them any longer?

Yeah. But they were looking into that before Ralph even died. That could be for an expansion team, or another team. At least it could be argued. But this is the first concrete evidence, that I've seen, that they wanted to buy the Buffalo Bills, and in fact, move them to Toronto.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the first concrete evidence we had that they wanted to move the team?

It may actually be true that he wasn't involved. It doesn't matter. The point is that this is proof that Rogers Communications, whether it was him or not, wants to move the team to Toronto. This is big news because there was never anything black and white that they wanted to move the team. It was all speculation, up to now.

I live in Houston. We used to have the Aeros, an AHL team. When the Americks came to town two years ago, naturally I went to go to the game. Around the end of the first period, We see a guy, in a Michael Peca jersey, stumbling down the stairs and fell over. Also, he was at the game alone. Name another sports fanbase that goes to an away game for their minor leauge hockey team, wearing a ten year old jersey, and gets hammered drunk. Alone.

Not even a cool thing to say.

Battleshots. You set up a giant battleship board, and then you make your ships just like battleship. With a five shot, four shot, 2 threes, and a 2. Call out cordinates. They call a coordinate you have a shotglass on, you take a shot. Loser, (or winner) is the one that drinks all battleshots.

Personally, I'm not a fan of beer pong, its only played with cheap beer, and I prefer to taste and enjoy it. But just like any other activity that involves drinking, it's ok if you can handle it.

And now they're trying to make an exception to start serving beer to the drunkest in NFL earlier.

There really wouldn't be much of a legit reason that could be used for enforcing that, being that beer pong, in and of itself, is harmless.

I hate those chicken wing hats. Its just an unoriginal knockoff of the cheesehead.

Exactly. Good natured teasing is part of the experience, so I was actually disapointed that I got none of that in Houston. New Orleans I had some, followed by a handshake, and a restaurant suggestion. Honestly happened about five times on my way to the seats.

My father wouldn't let me go to a Bills game till I was 17 for this very reason. When I finally went, I understood why. I assumed this was the whole of the NFL untill I moved here to Houston, and I didn't see any obnoxiously drunk Texans fans. The way we treat out of town fans is terrible. I went to New Orleans, and their fans were downright friendly to the out of town Bills fans.

The coach really needs to come back.

The only time they actually are bearable, are when they're not talking about sports, such as BK pies. They'd actually make really good morning talk show hosts on a music station. But Sabres talk, I can take 'em or leave 'em. Bills? Bring back The Coach!

And every there is an expert. Almost on Mike Schopp levels.
