Racially motivated murder at Tops
Buftex replied to Thurmal34's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Wasn't implying they were...you just seemed so concerned about the NRA, and their sterling reputation. -

Sure, the NRA can have credit for those too. -
NFL Schedule Makers Gave Bills a Big Advantage
Buftex replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
Anyone else getting a little nervous about setting the bar "too high"? I see on social media a trend toward other NFL fans really starting to hate the Bills. I want us to at least win something, before we reach that status. -
With technology today, you think they could have done a "deep-fake" Honestly, while I don't see the Dolphins as a serious threat to a healthy Bills team, I do think Tua did show some progress last season. He may never be in the the Allen/Mahomes/Herbert class...but he may be joining the Carr/Tannehill class before long.

Learned an interesting bit of trivia today...Randy Smith was actually drafted by the Pistons in 1970 as well...but for some reason didn't go to Detroit, and opted to play another year at Buff State. He went in the 1971 draft, where the Braves grabbed him in the 7th round, at #104. It's all a little before my understanding of all this stuff...but was it more common for basketball prospects to get drafted after their junior year in college, way back then? I remember when it happened in the NFL, and it didn't happen all that much, until the 90's. Even then it was sort of controversial.

But better than Richie Lucas?

It keeps people talking, for weeks. Every sports talk radio station is talking about the NFL schedule. While it is almost as annoying as hearing everyone talk about gambling now, or fantasy football. If we aren't speculating about what the schedule might be, we are talking about how much we hate how everyone is talking about the NFL schedule! I have to admit, as mind-numbing as it is, it is kind of genius

Looks like Tryreek had come back to it...

Sad day. My dad, who was a pretty casual sports fan, only ever really cared about St. Bonaventure, his alma-mater. He and my uncle took my brother and I to see the Pistons against the Braves in the Braves second season. My dad was all about Bob Lanier! Of course, my brother and I were more interested in seeing the Braves win. Lanier had a huge game, about 30 points. But the Braves pulled it out. One of the few games they won in those early seasons. I remember being confused (I was 7) as to why so many people were cheering for the Pistons. They loved Lanier! I am not really sure what the NBA draft rules were in 1970, but in their first season, the expansion team, Buffalo Braves, had the 15th (of 17) pick in the first round of the draft. Imagine what might have happened if they had the first pick, and could have picked Lanier. He was the #1 pick that year, and went to the Pistons. I bet the Braves would have been more warmly received in Buffalo... of course, even with the 15th pick, they passed on Niagara University's Calvin Murphy, also a future NBA Hall of Famer, who was the #18 pick. John Hummer (the first draft pick in Braves history) went on to have a pretty forgettable career, and was out of the league in six years, after playing for 3 or 4 different teams.

You know, the Raiders never really entered my mind...but I guess their national following, high profile coaching hire and adding one of the elite receivers in the league does give it a little more juice. I do wonder of Mark Davis' issues may make it a little risker though... I am sure the NFL will want to bury that as much as possible, especially for such a high profile game. You may be right...but I hope not. No logical reason, but the 49ers are just one of those teams I never enjoy watching...unless the Bills are beating them.

Hope he gets the job.

Nah...Crowder will be there

BREAKING: SCOTUS to overturn Roe?
Buftex replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
But she didn't lie about it. -
Well, it was official Buffalo Bills media... sure they couldn't include some of the saltier comments!

So, you too have your head in the sand?

What is your favorite football related phrase?
Buftex replied to Ethan in Cleveland's topic in The Stadium Wall
"We area only a year or two away from being a year or two away". The Bills mantra (or it should have been) for most of this century! -
Agreed. The older I get (I know I am old) I still love the game...but all the periphery NFL coverage is just excruciating... I feel dumb for watching it!

The first year with red helmets was 1984...also Joe's last season in Buffalo.

Still one of my all-time favorites! Sorry \Go Bills In Dallas/, it's just the completionist in me..the rest of his official Topps football cards!
