Yep. The media loved to rag on him during his baseball stint but when you actually look at what he was able to do it was very impressive. They even made a 30 for 30 on his baseball run which is a very good watch if you haven't seen it yet.
Bo Jackson
Michael Jordan(absolutely dominated the game of basketball, although ridculed for it by media what he did when he went to Minor League Baseball was actually pretty impressive if you know what your talking about, pretty good stick on the golf course, and he was also known to run a blackjack table or two )
Mid-30's....$1.99 12 packs would be insane although the major difference between my alcohol spending now v.s. a decade ago is the significantly lesser amount of time I spend in bars these days haha!
Generally speaking there are a few Packer fans in WNY but not a huge population of them but Bills fans seem to really respect the Pack and root for them on the side a lot(especially during the playoffs since we're never in them) it seems
Growing up my best friend's Dad was a huge Packer's fan so we would get invited over there for the playoff games during their mid-90's run and I have to admit I did get swept up into Packer Mania for a bit there myself. He had a huge Super Bowl party when the Packers played the Patriots and I was really rooting hard for the Packers to win it. That was the closest I've ever felt to seeing "my" team win a Super Bowl. Good times
I agree they don't make tv programs like they did in the 90's but times are so different as well. I much prefer watching reruns of the shows I grew up watching than most of the stuff on nowadays. I do watch alot of sports and documentaries though
I had an interest in going but the general consensus from everybody I tried to get tickets with me has been "yeah it'd be cool to see them but I don't feel like spending that kinda money on it" "I saw them 20 years ago already" "Well it'll probably just rain that day"
So I guess I'm not real surprised ticket sales are struggling. I think sadly alot of WNYer's are throwing in the towel on making any summer plans because the weather has really been that bad this summer.
Yeah they def have to prove it on the field and for an entire season no doubt, but I guess my point was that those are two premier players at their position in this league and we haven't gotten a chance to see them play up to their true potential at the same time(ok I will throw McCoy in here as well). If all 3 of those guys can have career years and Tyrod can at least play at a decent level then maybe we are talking about a 9-7, 10-6 team after all. This team does have talent but under Rex he was just never able to get these guys at their full potential.
Be interesting to see what we can do with a healthy and motivated Watkins and Dareus this season. Staying healthy is the absolute key. I feel like the players have bought into what McDermott is selling, the motivation seems to be here this year.
I was just a kid back then, if I had the power to go back and experience anything from that era it would be the feeling of after that Raiders game or I guess I should say during because we pretty much knew early on we were Super Bowl bound
Just wait until we finally clich a playoff spot at New Era, I can't even imagine what that's going to be like especially after how crazy it was in 2011 when we finally beat New England. To me that game almost felt like a playoff atmosphere and that was only game 3 of the regular season!
I live in WNY but whenever I travel I usually wear my Bills hat and it never fails I always get a few Go Bills and Heyy Ay Ay Ay's everytime
BILLS FANS ARE EVERYWHERE
