  1. I'm with you - a cheap rookie would have done much worse than Shady.
  2. As the Bills greatest QB of all-time, Flutie was only 4' 11". As I tell my girl, size doesn't matter.
  3. If we ever make the playoffs again, we'll party like its 1999
  4. What high school would want them? Those lights are so 1999.....
  5. Instant Replay by Jerry Kramer is an old classic but very good in showing how player size, training, game planning etc have all changed radically.
  6. Best Tyrod thread by far
  7. Since there's no games to watch (other than DVDs of games from the 80s and 90s), I'm breaking out my Bills library. Personal favorite: "OJ Education of a Rich Rookie". Behind the scenes look at the 1969 season that's pretty revealing and entertaining. Lots of stories about the last days of the 1960s Bills crew, including Maguire, Day, Kemp, Shaw and many more. Great photos and lots of game day details. Enjoyed this as a kid and it still holds up for me. I have a dozen or so Bills books written by or about former players and coaches. Many good ones in there and some real stinkers. Interested to hear about others' favorites.....
  8. OJ is being paroled soon! At 69, he's still faster than most 68-year olds.
  9. He's the unknown Bills LB that had two threads started a minute apart during a slow news day. Bet one of the threads gets to 5 pages!
  10. I have always said there were a bunch of dim bulbs at OBD
  11. Ha! Listened to Burr's podcast today. His story about the halftime show at the Duke/UNC game was especially hilarious.
  12. Nice video: amazing how fruitless the truckloads and helicopter drops appear given the size of the erosional area https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLeod6x87Tu6eVFnSyEtQeOVbxvSWywPlx&v=T5zumuQIMV0
  13. Nope. Just a lingering, deep, saliva-swapping kiss.
  14. A beautiful tribute to your son. Thank you for setting aside your pain to remind others that addiction is a disease and not a reflection of a person's worth. God has Danny in His arms now.
  15. How did security down the drone anyway?
  16. Wegmans in Syracuse carries this My vote goes to Welch's unfiltered grape juice. Recently discontinued. Delicious and thick.
  17. I don't know how to feel...he did find us our franchise QB.....
  18. I dumped a wife and two girlfriends for that very reason. Got one that's performing well now.
  19. I've been watching the 1992 AFC Championship Game against Denver while working out this week. Bennett had a great game, as did Bruce. The whole defense played extremely well and they were fun to watch that day.
  20. Bet some of those people are still hanging in that bar - if it still exists.
  21. Those are kind of depressing. This is a little more humorous look at SB 28 result featuring Bills fans crying in their beer - literally: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbtAGZOT4Do&feature=youtu.be
  22. Went to the game, at 35 this was my 26th year following the Bills! Had a blast and even though they lost and it cost $1,000 to scalp the ticket alone - it was worth it. Got interviewed by CNN after the game. Hilarious piece that Gary Tuchman put together (sorry for the quality - it was an old VHS when I converted it): http://youtu.be/XbtAGZOT4Do Joined class action claim against Small World Travel - they reneged on providing game tickets as part of the travel package to the game; got a few hundred of the about $800 owed by them for cost of ticket. I reneged on promise to my wife that I would buy her a bedroom set if I could spend $1,300 to take the game excursion. Got divorced. Bottomed out. Got sober. Got a new girl. Got three grandkids and a newbie grandchild on the way. Life is good.
  23. Feel better? If not, you can always go kick the dog....
  24. I was 17, and was working in Niagara Falls as a helper on a RC Cola truck delivering pop to supermarkets. The weather turned and we decided to quit and head home in the early afternoon. It was too late - it was already a whiteout, roads were jammed and cars had trouble moving through the heavy snow. I was running out of gas, so I pulled into a bar and went inside. I talked to some people and a guy offered to drive me to a nearby Howard Johnson's so I could get a room and ride out the storm. I was stuck there for three days - ended up going literally stir-crazy, playing basketball by shooting vending machine popcorn into the wastebasket. Finally, it cleared just enough for my sister and her boyfriend to come and rescue me. It took them a few hours to get from Clarence to the motel on Niagara Falls Blvd. We got my car, got gas and made the slow, treacherous trip back home. For the next week, we did the same thing every day - got a sled, walked 3/4 of a mile to the Niagara County Produce store at Transit and Millersport and got a case of Genny Cream Ale pounders. We played cards (including weird games called Mille Bornes and Michigan Rummy), and then hooked the sled to a rope tied to the back bumper of the car and drove down the road luge style. I remember seeing a wire sticking up out of a snow bank and dug it out to find it was a car antenna. No one was inside, thank God. It was a lifetime experience and my sister ended up eventually marrying her boyfriend. He stayed with us during the storm, until my mother told him "It's April - you can leave now!"
  25. By characterizing Johnny Football this way, you are giving weak-minded, alcoholic, drug-abusing fools a bad name. Shame on you.
