  1. I don't really play video games these days but I was given a Super Nintendo mini for a Christmas gift this year and just recently had my tech savy buddy jailbreak it with tons of old school video games I grew up playing...I can't wait until I get a weekend with nothing going on to waste away hours playing those games just like I did as a kid.  It will also be a nice way of filling the void of the NHL and NBA playoffs when they come to an end.

    BFLo/WNY... Picked that up last winter... Stocked up with ice cream... It was 0° F out... So it went in bed of truck.  Even with a cooler plugged in, it would be a goner making 8 hour trip today.

     

    Also... That Sabres flavor too.

    Let's Dough Buffalo...excellent ice cream flavor...can't say the same about the team itself

    You are very observant.  I have a friend in the marketing department over at Sabre's land, & she tells me they wanted to get Kane as far away from Eichel as possible, she said he was a very bad influence on him.  That was a big part as to why he was traded.

    Do you have any examples of this?  I don't doubt this but I am just curious as it's an interesting topic.  I can vaguely remember hearing some reports of Kane and Eichel hanging out gambling together in Vegas before they played the Knights this season but other than that I really haven't heard of any instances of those two getting into any bad situations together.

    1990 Yearbook video on VHS. It was my grandpa's and I always watched it at his house growing up. Still watch it once a year before the season starts to get fired up and shed a tear for him.

    That's a very cool one.  I remember I used to watch that video a lot every offseason as well when I was a little bit younger and it always brought back such amazing feelings of nostalgia..not just for the football games but for that era in general.  I was privileged enough to have an amazing childhood and that whole era always gets me choked up a bit.

     

    As for recent times I gotta agree with the day It was announced the Pegula's had officially bought the Bills and there was finally a sigh of relief that they would be staying in Buffalo...all of the phone calls into WGR that afternoon really got me emotional.  

     

    A distant 2nd to that memory was being in the stands when we finally beat the Patriots in 2011....by the 4th quarter the atmosphere was completely euphoric and I thought to myself so this was what it was like for my Dad and Uncles when they used to go to games back in the 90s

  5. Washington should(should being the key word) be able to get past Vegas without too much trouble.  They are clearly the more talented team and it looks like they have finally found out how to play with championship level intensity and passion.  Very good series against Tampa, I hope the SCF can be as entertaining of a series

    His passion and hatred whenever we played the Dolphins will always stick out in my mind. Unfortunately, so will the fact that he went directly to the Dolphins when his time in Buffalo was finished.

     

    To be honest, meeting Thurman Thomas when I was 12 years old will always be the worst fan/player experience of my life. He was incredibly rude and mean to a kid who was just trying to say hi to one of his heroes. I'll let it slide, and I'll forgive, but it's impossible to forget.

    I've heard Thurman on record as admitting he was a jerk to the fans back in his playing days(hell all those old Bills players were to be fair)but that he regrets being that way and now I've never heard anybody who has had a bad encounter with him in recent years.  People mature as they go through life.  Can't hold onto grudges forever.

  7. I'm going.  Been wanting to check this out the last couple years but wasn't able to.  I'm not into the comic book scene but my nerd interests in going are for the old school WWF stuff and classic video games/toys.  I went to the one they have in Niagara Falls Ontario a few years back and it was pretty cool.  A more fun experience than I was anticipating.  

  8. I was absolutely thrilled when we traded up and made this pick.  This is the stud LB I have been dreaming of the Bills getting for years.  I remember being so disappointed we couldn't land Patrick Willis and I never bought into Paul Posluszny or Preston Brown etc...this guy is gonna be the real deal and a huge piece to the puzzle when the Bills turn this thing around for real.

  9. The red endzones were cool but people also associate that with great Bills memories.  The blue endzones look great and are a much better fit for our new uniforms.  As soon as we start to see success again everybody will have warm and fuzzy feelings for the blue endzones too!

    You got Port Washington, Sheboygan and Manitiwoc at least to drive through. You coming to the game?

    Isn't Port Washington where the family from the tv show Step by Step resided?  I remember the Dad and Son were huge Packers fans.  Super random I know, but I love random 90's nostalgia haha
