dollars 2 donuts

I love Lamp. ...and I love Brick.

What KJ said...great big gobs of what KJ said above.

I hear ya, fear the same and hope the same. BTW, the two oldest franchises to move after staying put in one place are the New York Giants (74 years, 1883-1957) and the Brooklyn Dodgers (67 years, 1890-1957)...I really don't want to see the Bills third on the list at 60 years, or so.

I'm glad people are starting to talk about this kid. Thanks, PTR.

The thing is, guys, that these are still schools. I mean it just seems funny to attach institutes of higher education with their names, mascots and "educational traditions" to this. On a strained tangential analogy what if the Bills and a few other NFL teams became the "Any drugs...any time" portion of the league? How prideful would you be?

I believe that was Thurman's only 200 yard game. EDIT: BTW on a tangent, didn't Thurman also run for 100 and receive for 100 yards one time against the Dolphins at home? I think it was '91.

...that memory of your dad being happy is just about as good as any. I loved seeing my dad happy after Bills games and miss that to this day.

Thank you, Nuch, for representing. I was not alive for the '64 and '65 championship games but those are the first games I thought of when reading the OP's list. ...but man do I have a blast at the 1980 season opener against the Phins!!! I will never forget that as long as I live, as well as the comeback, of which I was also in attendance.

...Oh yes, they will all be put to good use. Thank you, SJBF!

I don't think the stats are padded, and I do want Byrd on this team. However, long before this post you could have put in me in the, "9 interceptions in 3 years how much money do you want?!" group.

SJBF...greatest. link. ever. I will use it.

R.I.P., but enjoy your reunion with your wife.

Whew...thanks, KJ!

I researched this a couple of years ago, but I haven't necessarily kept track so please forgive me if I am off by a team or two. Last year the Baltimore Orioles made MLB's post season and the Florida Panthers did, as well in the NHL. The Pittsburgh Pirates were 51-30 at the halfway point of this season and if they get into the playoffs this year it will be their first trip there since 1991, I believe. Meaning, if my memory serves me, that the Pirates will be the last major professional American sports franchise to make their sport's playoffs since the Bills last made it in 1999. ...further meaning all 121 other pro sports teams have done in the last 14 years what the Bills have failed to do. Again, I could be wrong. It has nothing to do with the upcoming season and no rip on the franchise here. Just an annoying little anomaly that I hope comes to an end soon. GO BILLS!

Agreed...man this the stupidest thing on the face of the planet.

The cake is a lie. Some will get it, some won't.

Good point...I feel bad for him. Sincerely, Bob Chandler

Lee Evans, Buffalo stats: 109 games, 377 receptions, 5,934 yards, 43 TDs. Eric Moulds, Buffalo stats: 154 games, 675 receptions, 9,096 yards, 49 TDs. One of the most important stats not listed...for the last few years of his career Eric Moulds was the last player playing in the NFL that caught a TD pass from JK.

I know I am going to take a bunch of heat for this and you may just want to file this under, "Dude, what the hell are you looking at?!" category, but I hope that is a Minnie Pearl lookalike in the background as MP has been dead for a numbers of years now and her return over other deceased options would be...disturbing.

BB, thank you. These inside stories do a great job for fan moral and I hope they keep it up through rookie camp. ...well, and beyond...but I hope you all understood that.

I am with you on that...and that is no insult to the mods (or anyone), but there is an proclivity to it.

Cooler than Colorado in May.

I would have liked Scott in the 7th...good prospect and not really an issue for the number one job with EJ.

Great post, Jay. Thank you.

Yeah, I probably wasn't very clear in my first two posts so let me put it another way: KELLY OWNED ELWAY AND MARINO. Thanks.
