Hopefully this year this silly cycle is stopped. Late spring its "cant wait until camp is here" bc the topics are just getting stale and terrible. In camp its 'cant wait until real bullets fly' bc everyone gets too worked up about practice. Then during the season people seem to look forward to the draft bc the season hasnt been kind. Rinse and repeat. But seriously, people cant get ttttoooo worked up about errors and if they do - well then id hate to see them with a real problem. Its funny how no one used to even know how they looked during camp so there wasnt anything to panic about. Even still its funny to see the different narratives that observers have. 2 people watched the same thing but had different takeaways. Maybe thats an agenda thing, but still - its gotta limit how worked up one can get, no?

Yesterday;) Edit: i see this was already pointed out. Itd be pretty slick to change it to todays once its out! Carry on!

I heard as well and thats not at all what the takeaway should have been.... but hey- that pot wont stir itself!!

Tool (Tuel?)

Murph noted he'd be working from home - i didnt catch where though.

He wont ACTUALLY be in the building, but sure!

Off season?!

Never has a swap of a D for an S been so rife for humor. I live it! Carry on folks, carry on

Maybe he just needs to be weathered and beaten down a bit? Then eventually instead of the new Rodak he can be the new Sully

Im not so sure... its my name too but i get the 'e' pronounced....??

Had to get rid of that 666 status lol. You're welcome!!

Ray ray can fly- confirmed

Someone has had a game used AFL throwback on ebay for months. Poor guy cant even get 80 bucks for it...

His are funny, i agree - the champion ones were TINY. His later year ones however like his Logo Athletics are HUGE. He changed to tucking them in but in a very baggy style. IMO, changes like that are one of the things that makes collecting old gamers fun. Each one was different where are now with nike, everything is so uniform they all look the same. One of the reasons i miss the old days where teams chose a supplier to outfit them rather than a league wide contract.

Someone just listed a champion font correct period authentic Christie jersey on ebay. Decent price to!

I wish the new ones were more in the spirit of the old ones articulation wise but for a throwback product, beggers cant be choosers! I thought it was cool that even after kelly retired we got a jimbo in the classic doubles w Aikman and even an Ames exclusive!...which was oddly in the running pose:)

Nice! I remember trying to trade for this back in the day! As i mentioned, the Norwoods were tough - the 87 white port hole mesh gamer cost me $500 and luckily the 89 Pro Bowl Norwood gamer was a little cheaper at $300 but im not sure the seller knew what it was. Anywho, i tried finding your info but couldnt bc i wanted to tell you that if you ever want the correct font 'sand knit house' font on that bad boy, or even champion to keep w the 89 theme hit up Bison Logo. Dude can match the material and font to a T. Screen printing is a lot art but he nailed my 86 port hole mesh sand knit kelly rookie tv numbers and plate. He does excellent work!! Nice to see ya on here!!! I was sad the Kelly Gamblers gamer got taken out in the 2nd rd:)

Favs

WwwaaaYyyyyy too many. Now the SLU trademark is owned by a company in tampa who makes them for SGAs. I remembered how cool it was waiting for the checklists each year when i was a kid. They used to always make the stars and then in later years just cherry picked 1 or 2 players from each team. The blue and gold sabres were cool from 94/95 - lafontaine, fuhr, hasek, and mogilny. Anyway, im proud to say that once I saw the company that did the SGAs were around I pitched the idea to my boss and he had me get in touch with them to get the specs and they ended up doing a Eichel in partnership with the Sabres. It made me smile knowing the 1st SLU in Buffalo in over 20 yrs was indirectly my idea:)

i spent years hunting down my Beebe, Conlan, Norwood, Todd Collins, Mohr, Christie, Hull. Hansen and Ritcher. Pics are on IG at @yellowsub73 Some of these gamers are tough to find - but they are out there!! Sadly for retail Mitchell and Ness just make the hits. Before being purchased by Reebok, they made a nice Joe Cribbs, Throwback Kelly, OJ, and Joe D. Then they came out with the super bowl 25 kelly, thurman, and reed but the fonts were messed up so they cancelled them and redid them 2 years later along with a kelly, Bruce, and thurman blue 1994. They make a kelly, reed, Thurman, and bruce LEGENDS series that are more low end that are the 90s colors but the style and fonts arent like anything the Bills ever used. Sand Knit made retail authentics for #55, #12, #83 until 1988 and then Champion made authentics for Kelly, Reed, Bruce and Thurman until 1996. Once in a while you see authentic odd balls that were ordered from a mail away catalog but MOST from that era come from local stores that had blank champion or red fox that would sew on numbers of whoever you wanted. Not accurate as they were screened, but still there. Puma and Logo Athletic Flutie, Moulds, Johnson, Brown, and Collins had the retail authentic jerseys until they gave way to Reebok Bledsoes, Henreys, Moulds and Evans. Bassically any star a team had, you can find retail authentics. We had so many qbs that you can find authentic retail Holcombs and VanPelts too. My work recently bought a HUGE collection of Bills stuff from a former employee who recently retired. Hundreds of jerseys as well as hundreds of pants, hats, wall pictures from before the remodel, stadium signs, flags, helmets, shoulder pads, cleats, shirts, thousands of gloves, hats, shirts, game balls, presentation balls, even the logo from the old locker room carpet! BUT, back on topic, the jerseys - all gamers from 1990 to 2016 or so and the names are just amazing to remember. I had a blast doing the inventory. Anywho, because the Bills never have a year end garage sale like most teams- we are going to have one! So, there will be an influx of odd ball Bills jerseys out there this year. Now, some gamers fit like a tube - but most people can fit in a Jerry Ostrowski with no issues:)

Off to fly a kite! Oh, there's a preseason game on? Is Allen playing? No? Ok is TJax playing? No? Lets go fly that kite...

I always thought it was pretty cool when Tops and Wegmans sold the DVD for a year or so in the early 2010s. They must have sold a ton of those, as games like that are no doubt popular and people will pay $15 for something that pulls their heart strings and gives them great memories!! On a side note, it used to be really neat to try and catch stuff like that on TV. Now with so many ways to watch so many old games its kinda lost its specialness imo

Really? How do you not just see this is filler? PFT is great at taking small point and added comments people say and then blowing them up, losing the context, and making it its own story - much in the same way you have posted it here. Appreciate the thought, but there was zero reason to click that link if one values their time.
