You have direct knowledge of how they're living today, I provided it in the update that resurrected this thread. I can't speak to how they were living when Tim wrote the article, I didn't know them then. I can speak with first hand knowledge of how they are living since the fund and it's a home run of success. Darryl is receiving ongoing treatment from the national CTE center in Boston. They have straightened out their finances and have purchased an affordable home that they can live in for the rest of their lives. Darryl is working for the Bills. Most importantly, Darryl is no longer suicidal and his life once again has purpose and meaning. I don't know what else to say to you. I do know that the fans of the San Diego Chargers would give anything to get the same reports of progress about Junior Seau. Who knows what the future will hold for Darryl, but for now a very proud man accepted money he never asked for and has used it precisely in the manner that his fan base hoped he would to turn his life around. I'll close by saying that I spent two hours with the Talleys on Sunday and there were many expressions of thanks from them about the love and support displayed by this fan base. I left there feeling really good about what we accomplished and you, nor anyone else in the glass half empty crowd, aren't going to harsh that mellow.

It is. Also they were able to buy an affordable house and get out from the upside/down rent scenario they were trapped in. Darryl is in a far better place than he was a year and a half ago and it is completely due to the Bills and Mountaineer fan bases. Who knows what the future holds, but, right now, this story has a very happy ending. Thank you all that circled the wagons for Darryl, you're all the cat's pajamas.

Paul Hamilton from GR55 said that it was the NHL screwing with the Sabres as payback for the Tank last year.

Could Mario Williams Be Draft Day Trade Bait?

Actually made me laugh out loud. Well played, Sir. -
Prince Protege Vanity has died
ChevyVanMiller replied to ChevyVanMiller's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Yes, she was born and raised there. -
A beautiful woman who nearly died of a drug overdose in the '90s and turned her life around after finding religion. RIP http://www.cbsnews.com/news/prince-protege-vanity-dies-at-57/

It was only 2 minutes in, many people hadn't made it to their seats yet.

Jessica Jones: New Marvel Netflix Series
ChevyVanMiller replied to Dorkington's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Just finished the series. It was awesome, maybe even better than Daredevil. Ritter was great in the title role. Luke Cage was a great character, can't wait to see him in his own series. Tennant was spellbinding as Kilgrave. Only disappointment was that the Patsy Walker character didn't become Hellcat - hopefully in Season Two. The show had great action scenes, more sex than in any other super hero show, mystery, intrigue and humor. My favorite line was when Patsy was showing Jessica a costume she wanted her to wear and what super hero name she should adopt. Jessica - "Unless you add a little more material, the only name I could go by is camel toe." Great show, can't wait to see all of the characters in the Defenders. -
I truly thought our D would look like Denvers
ChevyVanMiller replied to Estelle Getty's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'll flip the script: with a few key draft choices and FA pick-ups the defense will be top 5 next year. I still believe in Rex and think he will get it done. -
Boss Hogg is from Buffalo?
ChevyVanMiller replied to ChevyVanMiller's topic in Off the Wall Archives
The festival was held on his farmland. He was forever enshrined in the Joni Mitchell song, and C,S,N & Y hit, "Woodstock." "I'm going down to Yasgur's farm, gonna join in a rock-in-roll band. Gonna get back to the land and set my soul free." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Yasgur -
I was reading through a list of actors from Buffalo and was surprised to learn that Sorrell Booke, Boss Hogg himself, is from Olean. Had I known that earlier, I would have rooted a little harder for him to catch those Duke boys. (Also just read that he's a cousin of Max Yasgur of Woodstock fame)

Eichel named NHL 3rd star of the week. Scott gets 1st. http://sabreshockeycentral.com/2016/02/01/eichel-named-nhl-3rd-star-of-the-week/

Loved that John Scott scored the first goal for the Pacific.

An amazing read from an articulate guy. This piece makes him an all-star in my book.

"I was really hoping we'd have another thread that would get hijacked to discuss whether OJ's name should come off of the Wall of Fame'" said no one ever.

Another rock icon has left us. I saw Jefferson Starship play on the revolving stage at Melody Fair in the early '90s. After the first few revolutions, Kantner stopped the show and said, "I feel like somebody put us in the microwave, Man." Drew a big laugh from the crowd.

Yesterday marked the greatest moment of pain in Bills history, but just 24 hours later this fan base showed the team and the nation just what makes Buffalo the greatest community in the US of A. 25,000 fans showed up in the square, decked out in the red, white and blue colors of their Buffalo Bills. Scott Norwood hung back in the shadows, still smarting from missing the 47-yard field goal that would have won the Super Bowl. Without prompting, the crowd began chanting, "We want Scott." The chant grew and grew until everyone organizing the rally realized that the fans had come to give love and support to one man above all others. Norwood took to the lectern and said, "I've never felt more loved than I do right now." You've seen videos of fans looting, rioting and setting cars on fire after catastrophic losses. This past weekend, a *Pats fan called for the field goal kicker's family to be murdered in front of his eyes as punishment for a missed kick. In our worst hour, the fan base of the Buffalo Bills responded by showing Scott Norwood just why the late Tim Russert called Western New York "God's Country." Show this clip (Linked below) to your kids and grandkids because it proves that Bills fans truly are the greatest fans on Earth. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/tag/scott-norwood/

[Misleading Title]Would ya?
ChevyVanMiller replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
"Officers responded to a domestic on the 1800 block of Springsteen Road about 8:30 p.m. Sunday, according to a police report. The victim had blood all over him when he answered the door, and officers saw the home was in disarray with blood on the walls." Talk about Thunder Road, sheesh.
