I knew it brought something to mind, just couldn't put my finger on it.

Poor choice of words

Thank you Mr. Italian Bills. You already know you're my favorite poster! I have the same disadvantage as you, living far to the east of Buffalo (I'm in Israel). The difference is I'm from Rochester so I'm a lifelong Bills fan going back to Jack Kemp's days. In 1989 I moved here and wouldn't you know it, the Bills suddenly got good. On the day of the AFC championship in January '91 I had no way to see the game and there was no internet yet. Being a former Democrat & Chronicle paperboy, I had memorized the D&C phone number, and when I was sure the game was over I phoned the D&C sports desk to ask them for the result of the game. The guy must have thought I was from Mars (I was, sort of) but then he told me that the Bills had won 51-3 and were going to the Superbowl. Fortunately that was the first year that Israel television carried the Superbowl live so I got to see it (at the cost of staying up all night and going to work Monday morning dead on my feet). Like Mr. Italian Bills I had nobody to celebrate with (my sons were too young to appreciate it) but now all these years later I have NFL Gamepass which gets me all the games live or archived, and my youngest son is 32 and a huge Bills fan so I have someone to watch the games with and celebrate with. Also one of my old camp counselors from the 1960s lives near me and follows the Bills so we have our own little Bills bar in my basement. (You're all invited for the next big game.)

A Few Thoughts about the Chiefs Game, in no particular order

Juju looks like he had a few too many of Kelvin Benjamin's Popeyes biscuits. -
Just wondering, is this off-topic?

You know you're in trouble if you get called a homer here of all places. You're a homer.

Having grown up on radio sports I can tell you that the most impressive performance is from hockey play-by-play guys. The game moves so fast you don't have time to consult your notes or look up a guy's uniform number. When I was a kid in Rochester the guy doing the Amerks radio was alone in the booth, no color guy. If I had to do it I'd have a splitting headache after the first period and maybe a stroke before the end of the second.

Bills or NFL Expat bar in Hanoi, Vietnam
Dan Darragh replied to saundena's topic in The Stadium Wall
You can get a 7 day free trial for nflgamepass.com and watch the game on your device wherever you have wifi. As an expat and regular nflgamepass user I can tell you that it's much better than anything available in the States. -
