  1. Favorites. That’s not a word that we’re comfortable with here in Western New York. We’ve been down so long that it feels like up to us. We wear the underdog cape like Wally Cox coming out of a phone booth and it has long since become our go-to attire once September rolls around and another NFL season takes flight. But this season is different. Every day brings new proclamations from the national media that the team that we laugh, cry and bleed with 24/7, 365 days a year is that one that we’ve dreamed of having for decades, but feared might not ever come. Josh Allen is the clear-cut MVP favorite. The defense is projected to be better than last season’s #1 ranked unit. The Bills are the Super Bowl favorite by such a wide margin that the Vegas oddsmakers have drastically lowered their potential payoff amounts hoping to push bettor’s money elsewhere - so far their efforts have been in vain. Many in Bills Mafia, especially those whose fandom predates that moniker, are finding it difficult to embrace this newfound spotlight. We prefer the shadows. We like being overlooked and underestimated. After 17 years of futility we fully embraced our sports world Stockholm Syndrome. Think of the iconic phrases attached to our football team - Wide Right, Homerun Throwback, 13 Seconds. An unholy trinity of football lexicon if ever one was assembled. Like crosses we’ve carried those phrases, and the painful defeats they represent, long and far. Now, the newest hero to drape himself in the patriotic colors of our franchise has offered us a solution to this Draconian football hell that we’ve called home for so long. “Bruh, f**k it, burn it all!” Sweet liberation. Those six words, underscored by the two Super Bowl rings he wore as he uttered them, may be the most prophetic ever spoken on the Niagara Frontier. He’s right, burn it, burn it all. Trash your fears and recycle everything else. Those teams that suffered those defeats are not this year’s team. None of us are the same people that we were then. As S.E. Hinton said, “That was then, This is now.” So lay those old crosses down and strike a match and set them ablaze. From their ashes a new phoenix will rise. One that brings tears of happiness, not sorrow. One that will serve vindication, not condemnation. One that just may render obsolete the oft heard prayer, “Please Lord, just one before I die.” So mount up, Bills Mafia. This season is going to be one hell of a ride. There’s no guarantee that it will end with Lombardi, but the odds have never been better that it will. I’m proud to call you all my Bills’ brothers and sisters. Feel the burn. Go Bills!
  2. “Burn it all 🔥” should be the Bills’ rally cry for 2022. That was so spot-on, Thursday night can’t get here fast enough.
  3. He didn't appear to be fooled in either of last year's two playoff games.
  4. Jessie Pegula wins in straight sets to make the US Open quarterfinals. She is projected to move into the world top 5 rankings with today’s win.
  5. Jesus, RIP Tim.
  6. Expose yourself to great art. The benefits are endless.

  8. My trick is I DVR the game and start watching it 20 minutes after kick-off. I ff through all of the commercials and end up back live right around halftime. I delay another 20 minutes at the start of the 2nd half and ff the commercials all the way through and end up live at the end with everyone else, but no commercials.
  9. While I love Bill Burr, I am not missing watching a Bills game live for any show. Unfortunately, watching a taped Bills game is like eating an aged prime steak cold - just isn't the same. My advice, sell the BB tickets and watch the Bills take their first step on a season of destiny. Bill, being the huge sports fan that he is, would understand.
  10. Found the very first pic ever taken of me.
  11. Rod Stewart is aging well…
  12. His father said today on the radio that he doesn’t want to move his family and will simply retire unless he gets a call back from Tennessee at some point.
  13. That's brutal!
  14. I am a licensed realtor and I would be happy to help you find the right home for you. I am well versed in the Erie and Niagara county markets. Parts of Tonawanda seem like a great fit for what you stated above. If you shoot me a DM with your price range along with your email I can search the MLS and set you up with auto alerts so you will see available homes before they show up on sites like Zillow.
  15. Saw this quote on Twitter and thought it was spot-on: Last season for the Bills: WR6 caught 2 passes RB4 didn't have a carry TE3 didn't have a catch Keep this in mind when you're saying the Bills should prioritize players at these positions over Jake Kumerow and Taiwan Jones who combined for 570 Special Teams snaps
  16. She was later quoted as saying, "He had foul balls!"
  17. With $10 in your pocket, you were a King.
  18. "Princess Marion was definitely fencing from the rough. Not that there's anything wrong with that."
