Bob Nelson did and was forgettable, obviously. 🤣

Or they could go with special walls for Murderers, Rapists, Regular Guys, and Fitz.

Sorry, but gonna need pics to corroborate the “Super Hot” classification. Wearing something sexy.

Hated him for that game against the Bills when he hit Floyd Little for a long TD in the closing seconds. Loved him when he played for the Bills. The Magician! Lost track of him after he was traded. Didn’t know he played for 3 more teams after Miami. Too bad Saban didn’t allow him to get a shot at QB. He was dynamic.

That was a brutal loss, especially given how Ferguson played on a bad ankle, and after that amazing win in San Fran a couple weeks before. 1980 seemed like a magical season and when it ended the way it ended, Ron Smith running free, it left a mark. 🤣

Another random game memory: Washington at Buffalo 1969 preseason. Playing an NFL team was still a big deal, and Vince Lombardi coming to Buffalo added to the excitement. I remember being at the Erie County Fair with my parents and raising a fit because I wanted to get back home to watch the replay of the game from the night before. I think Channel 7 used to broadcast the home preseason games the next day. Bills won 21-17. Every win was amazing back then, even preseason. OJ played his first game the next week against the Lions.

We (my parents and my aunt and uncle, probably my sister too) drove out to around Geneva so we could get a motel room and watch the game on the Syracuse station. Seeing the Bills, and win!, on MNF was amazing. We went to the 1974 opener against the Raiders and the MNF game against the Giants. Both very memorable.

I remember this one very well. I was 14 and working at Niagara County Produce outside selling potatoes and apples, etc. I was listening to the game on the radio. It was a tense, exciting game and I already had a case of BBFS, so expected a loss when he lined up for the figgie. SURPRISE! What a treat!

Cincinnati: We went to the 1970 home game against them when OJ blew out his knee on a kickoff return. I had waited forever for that game. My Dad had bought the most expensive tickets ($7.00) to site on the sidelines under the roof. They were on our bulletin board for months and I would just stare at them. $7!! So much money! The morning of the game my Dad took me for a walk and told me he couldn’t go because he was having chest pains. I was 11 and devastated. My sister took his place with my Mom and I. We sat in front of a bunch of college kids that spilled wine on our blanket and made burn holes from cigarettes. Just a total disaster of a day. So many Bills games have bad outcomes like this. Why God why?? 🤣🤣

My future brother-in-law and I were at this game. Gorgeous day and so relaxed as the Bills took care of business. Distinctly remember going up to the top of the upper deck to smoke a doob

I brought my buddy up from Virginia for that game. Saturday was a spectacularly beautiful fall day. Sunday was rain from sunrise to sunset. The game was miserable because of that. The end was a gut punch. And I had to get my buddy up that hill into the lot on California where you had to cross the creek. He had a bad heart and I thought he was going to have a heart attack going up that hill. The whole day was a nightmare. 🤣 This was a total surprise and a great game to watch. Wish I had been at that one.

Yup; left at halftime. Total bummer.

And in color!

That was the most amazing feeling before and during the game. Pure electricity. The first time I felt that kind of energy was at the Buffalo Braves playoff game - the Jo Jo White game. Weird that both of those were losses.

Off-season postings of old Bills’ games got me thinking about some wins that stick in my memory; many are from more than 50 years ago when I was a kid obsessed with the Bills. 1970 - Bills crushed the Patriots 45-10. I had never seen the Bills dominate like that; I had been following them since 1968, so there you go. I still remember watching the game in shock as they piled up TDs (in black and white of course). That game just sticks in my brain. Share your memories - the more obscure the game, the better!

My bad. I requested YouTube take down any videos showing the Bills losing. Sorry. Not sorry.

No, but you have to make it through 4 or 5 rounds of voting!

I will check it out. Also going to check out Alex Kara’s’ autobiographies (he wrote two!). The stories about him in Paper Lion are hilarious.

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

I’ve been reading Paper Lion and Seven Days To Sunday about 1960s NFL and all the characters. Tony fit right into that mold and will be missed. He was a throwback for sure.

Wonder if he’ll wear his wedding ring while broadcasting.

I can see them making an announcement about it in the next couple weeks to fill some of the dead air until training camp.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herschel_Walker_trade ”The trade was detailed in an ESPN 30 for 30 film, "The Great Trade Robbery".

Sorry to hear that. Dogs are like children. I have both and speak from experience. Hope you can arrive at a good outcome for all involved.
