Rick Tuten was signed a couple weeks into the season and replaced him
-
Maybe but his father and brother were pretty well known. I do tend to remember some oddball stuff.
-
A couple hints: The player was a punter, drafted in the 6th round of the 1990 draft. He was on the roster for 4 games but after looking into it further, it looks like he only appeared in one. The Bills didn't punt in their first game in 1990.

Nope

No. Not a bad guess with Karl Malone being Bell's father though.
-
No using Google. What former Buffalo Bills player had a dad who was an NBA referee and a brother on MTV?

Who remembers 3 TD's in 1 minute, 17 seconds ?

The Bills blocked a FG. Bennett caught the block out of the air and ran it back. I remember saying "maybe they'll block it" to my dad as Denver was lining up. -
What was your most frustrating season as a Bills fan?
holla83 replied to Phil The Thrill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This was the first season that came to mind. They beat up on some pretty bad teams during that run but it was still fun to watch. My dad and I were at the Rams game that started that win streak. I watched that Steelers game at a bar owned by a Steelers fan. SMH -
It's funny you should mention this movie. I was not familiar with the movie or the Brandon Burlsworth story until a couple days ago. I was visiting my dad and we were looking for something to watch. Greater was at the top of my dad's Netflix menu. I agree with the others who thought the movie was just ok. I was surprised that I hadn't heard of him before. It seems like his death, a mere 11 days after the draft would have been big news at the time. I would have been 20 then and followed anything and everything NFL related when I was that age. His name also would have caught my attention because it's very similar to mine. Rudy is a better movie and may be a better story. But this guy was a better walk on as far as ability goes. He earned a scholarship, started for 2 years, was an All American, and was drafted in the 3rd round by the Colts.

I remember my girlfriend at the time trying to quiet me down. She lived in an upstairs apartment.

Micah Hyde On-side Kick Return vs. Dolphins
holla83 replied to JoeF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That was in the 93 divisional playoff against the Raiders. The temperature for that game with the windchill was something like -25. Tasker actually just missed a TD on that play. He got knocked out of bounds inside the 5. Kenneth Davis scored the TD a play or two later. -
Historically Famous Nick Names for Bills Squads .
holla83 replied to T master's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I can't say I remember hearing about that. What I do remember is Thurman Thomas took exception to Jim Kelly calling out the O Line when he hurt his shoulder. Thomas was asked on his TV show what the one thing the team needed to become contenders was and he replied "quarterback!" -

The 89 team was known as the Bickering Bills. -
This thing will hold a dozen. I tested it out last night when I got the wings out to thaw.
-
I got a toaster oven/air fryer combo for Christmas so I'm going to make some wings. I'm anxious to see how they turn out.

I googled Jerry Glanville after a couple references on this post. He's still coaching!

My 7th grade English teacher had a son that worked in advertising, or something along those lines, for Shout. His name appeared in the credits in the back. Anyway, my teacher would get free issues from his son and eventually pass them along to me, knowing I was a Bills fan. Eventually my mom got me a subscription for Christmas. I think I still have the comeback issue and Kelly and Levy's retirement issues packed away somewhere.

Looks like we have a similar idea. I just continue on 20A all the way to Mt. Morris. I live in Elmira.
-
Obviously it depends on which way you're coming from. I always come into Orchard Park on 20A West. With that said, I normally park on the corner of 20A and California Rd. It's only $10 to park there but it's about a mile walk to the stadium. It's easy to get out of there after the game if you take a left onto California Rd instead of getting back on 20A. Then it's a right onto Ellis Rd. Take that to the end and right onto Taylor Rd. Left at the fork on Taylor and continue on New Taylor Rd until the end. It comes out on North Buffalo Street/rte. 240. Take a right and take that a couple blocks until you come back to 20A. Left onto 20A. I go that way and bypass a lot of traffic

I think Rich Gannon is far worse

I'll have to check out Locked on Bills... Not technically a podcast but Hashtag Sports on YouTube is pretty entertaining. I ran into one of the hosts at a training camp practice this year. Super nice guy. He told me they started the YouTube show as an excuse to get out of the house. They are also doing play by play of the games this season.

Death, Taxes and Peterman lighting it up....

Trent won the fade/garbage can competition when I went to a training camp night practice in 2010.
