Ervin "Magic Marker" Parker.
I had the great pleasure to meet my namesake and just want all of you to know that he is a true gentleman in real life, he'd do anything on the field to protect his quarterback; including inviting bodily harm. After the game he would take his opponent out for a beer.
Edited to add:
On one "Little House on the Prairie" episode there is a gravestone that reads "Conrad Dobler, gone but not forgiven" that Merlin Olsen had put in!

It actually was going to be COFFEE RICH Stadium at first. Named for the non-dairy creamer.

Here in the Buff, we also have Anal Pudding...

I was born in 1960, the same year Ralph Wilson brought the Bills To Buffalo. I bristle a little when I hear people hurling insults at this fine man. Granted he has always run the team with the fiscal responsibility of that sometimes has the fans shaking their heads, IE head coaching hires, but would you rather have a Daniel Snydey or Jerry Jones as our owner? Do you think the fans of the Bills who play in the third poorest city in the country would be able to attend games if Jerry Jones ran this show? Don't forget this is a man who is a great benefactor of the arts, humanities, and medical research, (including millions of dollars donated to head injury research). Ask Kevin Everett if Mr Wilson is a miser!
God bless you Mr Wilson and Merry Christmas.
Thank you, OP! This one's on me.

IIRC it was an exemption from the antitrust law that made the NFL agree to televise sold out home games. I'm too drunk to Google it right now, but I think that there was a specific Senator that insisted on this comprimise.

I'm posting this now because many of you will probably be quite busy Friday doing last minute shopping, preparing for family to arrive, or will be on the road to see loved ones. This season has been one hell of a ride. From the lows and depths of a 0-8 start to an improved and promising finish.
I wish you all loyal Bills fans (whether you are celebrating, Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, Kwanzaa, or another faith) a joyful and safe time with your loved ones. It's the time of the year to reflect on what's important in life. I'm thankful to have a loving family, wonderful friends, and loyal to the bone die hard Bills fans such as most of you here.
So here's to you all (raises glass), may you all have a wonderful, memorable holiday with the ones dear to you. Even to the Trolls, I wish you more than just a lump of coal.
Have a great Christmas and holiday everyone!
P.S. On Sunday (win or lose) may the Bills pound Brady senseless and rip out every strand of his hair extensions!
Go Bills!!!
Here's an authentic pils for you all.

Luger was awesome! I can't remember his name in real life...but he was a long-time character actor...always looked about the same, and always seemed three sheets to the wind...
James Gregory.

Not yet available on Youtube, but walk with me down memory lane:
An alledged time traveller is arrested in Central Park and is in the cage. During the show he convinces Harris to dump his gold investments and move to zinc. (Harris quote: "Oh a couple of tons".)
At the outro, the time traveller finally hears Dietrichs' full name.
TT: "Dietrich? THE Arthur Dietrich?"
AD: "Yes."
TT: "My goodness, sir this is such an honor! I'd never thought that I'd meet someone as great as you!"
Rest of the ol' 12th precinct stands around with gaping jaws.
Dietrich: "Hey, I couldn't have done it without you guys."
Cue exit music.

Gaye Bikers on Acid?

Bless you, sir. Happy holidays!

I was there too, although in the opposite end zone (we were still in the sun and I wanted to stay warm(er)).

Good post, and I'd add that I'm looking to see how the oddly emotional Whitner performs tomorrow after the news of his contract negotiations. I say oddly because while I really do respect, appreciate and admire his emotions being on display and believe that he truly wants to be a Bill- which is something this team needs more of- I can see it being like a breakup you didn't see coming, when you think the person is just as into you as you are them, and therefore you turn those positive emotions into negative, apathetic, near childish emotions. I could see him coming out half assed and laying a dud tomorrow.
As a coach, I'd then put George Wilson in and part ways.

JUST DONT DO THIS!!! OR if you do please have it recorded.

Great video, but Buddah almighty WHY do these youtube posters feel it mandatory to put in that kind of crap soundtrack? I listed to it on mute but still, do they think they're actually being creative?

Saints preserve us. This kind of stuff didn't start happening until the off season. They're killing me, Whitey!

I had the good fortune of seeing the Captain live at Buff State on Halloween, 1977. I still have the ticket stub. I have never heard such organized chaos in my life, and I've seen Pere Ubu. Too bad I was too young to catch Spike Jones, as Beefheart didn't fire guns as part of the song. Frank Zappa seems lullaby-like in comparison.
Even though there were several different band members, their rendition of Big Eyed Beans From Venus just nailed it.
This is the original:

As far as I am concerned, the Bills could draft Charles Manson as long as he could play football
Look at the way the Bills hired off-duty Hamburg cops to follow Bruce Smith around trying to catch him buying cocaine because he had the NERVE to complain about some racist hate mail he was getting. There were plenty of players using cocaine back then, and nobody hired cops to follow them around
Charlie Manson and off-duty Hamburg cops are Irish?
Surely you can't be serious.

IIRC they were using EW at center a bit during last training camp.

Lmao! Does it bother you that much? You got it.
You sir, are a gentleman. Thank you.

Got_Wood thanks for the great, thoughtful post. That's what I come here for.

Getting rid of Trent was the #1 positive for me. But I'll add a to the previous 59 positive posts, and buy everyone a .

Imho, we are still maybe 2 years away! What we lack are elite players at almost every position! Look over our entire roster and we have 1! Kyle Williams and he is beast with no one to compliment his play! Just look at the teams in our divison! They have studs at more than one position! The bills simply don't! Average good core players, but no studs!!
Would you please stop using exclamation points after every sentence?
Edit: anyone that names themselves xxxdawg is entitled to a pass.
Thank you for supporting the Buffalo Bills.

Actually it is possible. My science teacher back in 8th grade lost his left ring finger while hanging up Christmas lights. He fell off the ladder and on the way down, it managed to get caught on some point in the ladder that ripped his finger clean off.
Fitz is right handed. He'd just rub some dirt on the stub and go back out and throw a TD.

Quite a few dirty plays by the Jests today. Even though I also don't want the Dolfags to win either, karma had its' way.

I remember Van Miller calling him Magic Marker. Ken "Baby" Johnson with his "The Bills are Going to the Super Bowl" song.
