Can't remember which one - but Allen admitted in one interview that he basically didn't know what he was doing his first game against the Chargers - messed up calls etc. - and the down time from his injury and working with Anderson really helped him as the season went on. Can't wait to see how much he improves after a full offseason.

In the 80s I met Darryl Talley at the Brick Bar - think it was after his rookie year he was still kind of obscure at that time. It was a very memorable night - my last night in town before going off to Boca Raton Fl for my first college internship. Other luminaries that were there that night included the Earl of Bud ("You got one!"), also the guy who used to play trumpet on the bar caught fire. Those were the days. Matt Kofler used to be married to a girl I went to high school with - had some drinks with him once long ago. He had some stories - Ben "Baby" Williams was a favorite of his. In the category of not obscure player but obscure way to meet - back in the mid 90s I used to live across the street from the golf course(s) that the annual Jimmy V Celebrity Golf tournament used to be held. One year it was like 100 degrees and I was was a spectator and I saw James Lofton on one of the holes. I told my wife "I'm going to run home and get our camera to get a picture with him" - so I took off running, and soon realized it was very hot, and a lot longer than I thought. I had to hurry though because it was getting late and they were winding up. So by the time I get back to the tee were Lofton was I was a heaving, sweating mess. I'll never forget the look of horror/confusion as I approached him on the tee - I'm pretty sure he started gripping his club a bit tighter just in case he needed to use it in his defense against me. When I got to him I breathlessly blurted out "JamesIusedtowatchyouatRichStadiumCanIhaveapicureGoBills!!!" He was very nice, and took the picture - not sure if he thought maybe I was a "slow adult".

You can dodge a wrench, but can't dodge death. At least he didn't die from getting crushed by two tons of irony. RIP Rip

From thread title I was sure this was going to be related to ranch dressing and chicken wings

TB12 shakes are chock full of delicious COL1A1

This might be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read

Have the tickets for Fri 8/2 at Ralph not gone on sale yet?

Or wait to grab a piece when fans storm the field and rip up the carpet and take down the goal posts when the Bills win the AFC championship game this year

Yes - some workout vid of McKittrick busting A would be even more hype

Always thought Beebe waa hugely overrated. Honestly the lett play did nothing to raise him to hero status for me. I just remember him for having kelly's perfect bombs bounce off his hands time and time again I used to call him to my friends "The deep threat that can't catch the long ball"

Seven children, dang. He could catch travis if he commits going forward

Wife and I went to Toy Story just bc nothing we really wanted to see - no expectations. Enjoyed it more than any movie I've seen this year - including Avengers (which I have to admit I actually fell asleep to at one point). Wish I had looked up who the voices were before the movie. I was thinking the whole movie "Man the guy voicing Forky is really good" (a sentence I never thought I'd type). Love that it was Tony Hale.

I seem to recall that last Pitt joint practice, didn't it get very physical, after whistle shenanigans etc - Steelers beat the crap out of us w/ some injuries sustained?

Actually also realized - choking the chicken... ?

Both my kids played multiple sports competitively from the time they were very small through HS, including AAU. By the end of HS I was so ready for it to be over - so many idiot parents, but also more and more kids with entitled attitudes thinking they were some special gift. Don't miss it at all.

Should be pulled pork - smh

Thank goodness the JA draft thread didn't include video of all the crybabies in there

And Billy Buffalo, and a Train Horn..................

Bills were way ahead of their time

Football on big sand box. That worked out well for Robert Edwards

I was also at that game - I remember the fans streaming out of the stadium and I told my brother "We aren't leaving - this will be an Alcoa Fantastic Finish!" (old timers will get the reference). The catch by Hooks may be the most remarkable sports play I've ever seen live. We were in the end zone and I can still picture plain as day the ball leaving Fergy's hand and sailing down the middle and then the catch. OMG. What an unbelievable catch - and to see it live in the moment it was even better - I'll never forget it.
