  1. The NFL is 50 times more strict than it was back in the 80s and early 90s...they don't even let players do endzone celebrations anymore let alone want a bunch of drunken Buffalo fans storming the field! Sadly I think that tradition is long over with, back in 2004 when the Bills had a shot at the playoffs against Pittsburgh in the last game of the season there was a **** ton of security on hand and I think they were prepared for that very scenario.

  2. Just wondering because I probably played my last round of the season today(such a beautiful fall day) and was pretty bummed out because I finally had a summer where I made the time to play a decent amount. I probably got out and played about 15 times this year which for me is really good but I know some guys that play religiously. Just wondering where the golfers on here stand...

  3. Man the Wonder Years is great! Whenever I get back into following the series(and I'm not just talking one episode here and there) it brings back so many memories from my own childhood and touches on tons of things I could relate to at one point or another in my life. The best nostalgic show of all-time!

  4. thanks, man :beer: I can't wait til we get a few more bills up in Canton!!! Nothing has ever made me more proud than to see our guys in those ugly jackets representing B-lo in the hall. Jimbo, Marv, Thurman, Bruce, Ralph, Lofton....all of their bronze busts sitting in Canton waiting for a couple more to join them....Annnnnnnnnnndre.....Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaasker....

     

    We've fuggin owned Canton this decade, baby!!

     

     

    Hell Yeah I made it up there for Thurman and Bruce's induction and will make it for Andre's when the time comes :thumbsup::lol:

  5. I never much paid attention to the HOF ceremony growing up, but as an adult it can be a pretty emotional experience. There are a lot of players being inducted lately where I've been fortunate enough not only to see them play, but to watch their entire careers. I tend to have a habit of living vicariously, and I can only imagine what it must feel like to be able to stand there as a hall of fame inductee, reflecting back on a long, storied career, and feeling the finality of it. I really like how Jerry Rice ended his speech. He juxtaposed the unrelenting faith in his heart that he could go out there and suit up still today with the admission that there will be no more catches, no more touchdowns, and no more championships. Pretty cool :thumbsup:

     

    You are the greatest of all time, Jerry!

     

    Excellent post, I couldn't have said it any better myself.

  6. Now I think I finally may have the answer to the question surrounding Kelly's (phantom) hamstring injury that sidelined him (by Bills orders, if rumors are to be believed) for a month in 1996 following an epically bad outing on Monday Night Football in Pittsburgh. Old timers know the rumors of which I speak.

     

     

    ...Care to elaborate? You have caught my interest

  7. On a related note, on 7/10 at the West Seneca Queen of Heaven beer tent, my son introduced me to Patrick Kane. Stupid to say I was pumped to meet someone the age of my son. But hey he did score the Stanley Cup winning goal! Funny that he doesn't even look like an athlete, just a regular guy, hanging with his buddies. If it was me and I was him, I would be wearing a Black Hawks jersey with my name and women all over. LOL. For that matter, I wouldn't leave Chicago because he has to be the toast of the town as big as Jordan, Payton and Butkus

     

    Maybe couple times a year I see Ruben Brown at bike events, and he is like 6-5 300#, still looks like a player you know

     

     

    I cannot believe you just compared Pat Kane to Michael Jordan, Walter Payton, and even Dick Butkus :ph34r:

  8. It's been a few days. This won't come up again........I'd like to know your thoughts on the Stingley hit........I wish I could see it somewhere to make my own judgment.

     

     

    I still don't wanna get too into it, but I will say to be honest Tatum was known as a dirty player, check out his highlight reel for verification http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1lYWg0_Yz8, I cannot deny he played dirty and he had alot of questionable hits, but my thing is back then that was the mentality of alot of football players. These guys wern't all twitter buddies back in the day, it was an unfortunate incident for sure but Jack Lambert, Dick Butkus, Ronnie Lott any one of these guys could've dished out a career(life) ending injury they were just lucky an inch here or there didn't occur. It is the nature of this game, it is a very violent sport and back in those days players really took on a mentality of trying to knock the life out of the guy on the other team which you don't see anymore. I think its a shame that it happened but I really can't have any bad feelings towards Tatum for that particular hit because it is the nature of the game.

  9. RIP Jack..."the anti-donte whitner" lol

     

     

    I have my own thoughts on the Stingley hit but this isn't the time or place for that....when I heard about the death of Tatum it made me sad to see another NFL pioneer pass away. Jack Tatum was ferocious and played in an era where the game was so much better and pure IMO(and well just about anybody else who knows the difference), you will never see another Jack Tatum!
