So back in 2004, I’m Googling for a good retatta recipe......

This dude is gonna pull a Gary Anderson on us - as soon as we cut him loose, hes headed for the HOF

Just saw him to Rochester this month. Great show, great band, he was having a blast. Crowd sang every song and never sat down from the time he first walked out on stage. Hes coming out with a new album in November I believe.

Started 6th grade when Casey opened and went to North after that. Ive tried to find a reason why they had us swim naked but never found a good answer. Neither did this guy: http://www.chicagonow.com/open-heart/2014/08/swimming-naked-in-gym-class-really-happened/

You mean your 1993 Geo Metro?

There were many orange jerseys down low on the visitors side, so maybe on TV it looked like there were more than there were. It seemed about the usual amount for a successful team with a national following. The best part was when a Sheriff was hauling a Broncos fan out of the stadium. At the top of the aisle, the fan threw down his drink and it splashed all over. The Sherriff yelled "Now you're going to jail" and wrestled him to the ground in the tunnel leading into the concourse. His girl was screaming and crying to let her man go. This was shortly after White's interception. Made for a good day.

Great job Josh. Amazing what ya gotta do for a lousy three bucks these days, huh?

I wonder if the situation would be different if the Bills were halfway decent, making the playoffs now and then and occasionally a deep playoff run. If there was something to read about, maybe more people would be willing to fork over $3. Honestly, after this long of a drought, I've lost interest compared to the first 33 years of my being a fan.

I don't remember ever crying over a Bills game, win or lose. But there are two times that do stand out: 1) I was 11 and my father got my mother and I tickets to the Bengals game in 1970. they were the most expensive tickets at the time - $7.00. We had them on the bulletin board in the kitchen for weeks and I would just stare at them. That seemed like an incredible amount of money then. The morning of the game, my father was having chest pains and decided he better not go to the game. He took me for a walk to break the news and I was devastated. Cried. A lot. Went to the game with my mother and sister (somebody had to use the ticket). OJ blew out his knee and the Bills got killed. I think I'm still scarred by that day! 2) AFC Championship game vs Raiders. Late in 4th Q and everyone in the stadium is going insane, knowing we were going to the Super Bowl for the first time. I remember looking up in the foggy sky, at the snow in the lights, and thinking about my Dad, who had passed in 1975. I definitely teared up - wasn't a full blown snot slurper, but it was pretty emotional. Other than that, it's been mostly head shaking for the past 17 years.

Aren't you being racist by referencing racism yourself?

So, your outrage is because you got dinged and he didn't? Wow, that is even richer than feigning outrage over the racial injustice of it all. Good job.

I thought this quote was interesting "What McDermott and Beane are interested in is putting together a team construct that leaves no one wondering how hard the man next to him is going to work during the practice week. There will be no doubt that each and every one of the 11 players on the field know their assignment on every single snap. And that when the team is dealt a bad hand on or off the field, they won't fold." http://m.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Roster-turnover-a-necessary-part-of-McDermotts-process/7c778037-3904-4090-aa63-f4e4126c0165 Maybe it's just a case of certain players don't have the dedication and commitment that the new regime is trying to instill, and even though they may be talented, it's not worth compromising the integrity of what they are trying to do. So, poof, they are gone. I'm good with that and since they were going nowhere special this year anyway, I'm fine with letting it play out.

Are we allowed to read her columns if she's critical of the Bills? I feel so conflicted......

Kim Pegula showing up in one of GBID's "Hot for NFL Owner" threads

I was at camp on Friday and walked right by Dareus. Literally two feet away. He was hugging a woman in a wheelchair while a friend took a photo. He had just left the field with a trainer. The woman said he looked like he lost weight, and he told her he lost 12 pounds. I'm nobody, but to me he looked like he was carrying his 290 or 300 pounds pretty damn well. He looked great to me. In other news, Kim Pegula is way more lovely in person. Very attractive woman in all respects.

......at the junction - Petticoat Junction! (sorry, I'm old and that stuck in my head when I saw your name!)

And there's Uncle Joe - he's movin' kind of slow......

Kudos Mr. G!

Great story and thanks for sharing it. I read the race references as just context for how special this experience was for you, since the news is filled with stories of the opposite experience. It's the internet; no matter how positive the story is, someone will twist it into their own narrative and blame you. Ignore it. Peace

You must have been pooped at the end of the day

Does no one get sarcasm anymore??

Sarcasm alert!

How many of them were told to "trust the process" as they were being shown out the door?

Dude, the money you pay for Bills games is other-worldly. Just give me one-quarter of that amount each year and I'll kick you in the nuts 16 times. Deal?
