  1. As time has gone on its gotta be Cornelius Bennett. He may not have had the longevity here in Buffalo that the Big 4 did but he played a huge role in all the success we had during the late 80s and early 90s
  2. I used to go to every single Bills home game but with all of the changes over the years to both the gameday experience at the Ralph and the better picture and quality you can get home on the tv...and as much as i hate to admit it i would also say just getting older has a role in all of this....but to me going to the games is more of a special event now where I try to get to a couple games a year instead of every one. I'm all for tailgating and partying before the games but the latest generation of 18-23 years olds attending the games can't handle their booze and are at an all-time obnoxiousness. Then the rent a cops they have working at the stadium actually make things worse. I dunno i just feel that the gameday experience just isn't what it used to be and its certainly not just Buffalo. My Dads buddy is a Cleveland Browns fan and he said the same thing has happened there.
  3. Two different types of receivers as mentioned above me. Moulds game was more similar to Terrell Owens. Where Sammy Watkins looks like he's gonna be the second coming of Julio Jones. Btw Andre Reed is the greatest Bills WR of all time...as of right now
  4. Believe me I'm as traditional as it comes with professional sports and I HATE 95% of the changes Goodell has made over the last few years but this change is a good one and it makes sense. Super Bowl L looks and sounds ridiculous and he has already said its only going to be for one year and then they will switch back to the Roman Numerals. I think Super Bowl 50 sounds fine and considering it is going to be a milestone Super Bowl I'm sure they will be able to play it up. I can already imagine the media coverage the Super Bowl is going to have that year...I almost feel bad for the non football fans
  5. Sportscenter is running a piece about the 10 cent Beer Nights during Cleveland Indians games in the 70s. They said a $1 could get you a cheap seat in the bleachers for 50 cents and 5 beers. Its crazy how different things are nowadays
  6. That era was alittle before my time but ive always heard it was a great time to be young. Sometimes I wonder what it woulda been like to party in other eras as ive heard so many great stories from my old man and Uncles over the years. I did Daytona Beach in the early 2000's. Good times
  7. Good ass movie, haven't watched the whole thing in some time but caught some pieces of it a couple weekends ago and some guys were just talking about it at work a few days ago. A classic
  8. Pretty cool stuff. Thanks for posting
  9. I'll always remember Leonard Smith for shaving the Bills logo onto his head and riding out on the carts that wheel away the injured players before the games at Rich stadium and getting the fans worked into a frenzy. He was def a fan favorite type of guy
  10. 80s/90s hands down. Kelly, Marino,Elway, Bruce, Reggie White, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders, Ronnie Lott, Walter Payton and I could go on and on and on and on.....
  11. I just read through each and every single post in this thread and got a little teary eyed. Those Bills teams made my childhood magical. I wouldn't trade those years away for anything
  12. The Aud FN Center RBC Center(Carolina Hurricanes arena) Carrier Dome(Syracuse Lacrosse game) UB Stadium(or whatever it is actually called) Ralph Wilson stadium Cleveland Browns stadium Soldier Field United Center(Chicago Bulls game) Quickens Arena(Cleveland Cavs game) MSG(Knicks game) Fenway Park Rogers Centre Toured Yankee Stadium and Jacobs Field(Cleveland Indians) but never saw games there Going to Mile High for the Bills game this year
  13. Fixed Ive been saying for years the two guys that need to go on the Wall are Van Miller and Cornelius Bennett. In the Buffalo News article today about Van getting the nod he mentioned how he actually voted for Bennett to go up this year and that his time will be coming up very soon. Great stuff. Both men are long overdue
  14. Good bar. I always visit there whenever im in Cleveland. The bar im heading out to has a similar atmosphere Thats the fun part about going out with your friends for the draft. Once the Bills pick we still stay and hang out for awhile but then it becomes more about the drinking and having fun part than actually stressing who is going where. There are a couple displaced fans of other teams in our group too though so the **** talking lasts until those teams pick too.
  15. You win! Awesome draft plans brother
  16. This is the most pumped up for the draft ive been in quite a few years. I'll be heading out to the local sports bar
  17. The first spring day where it was nice enough to play a round of golf I called in because I said I had some "personal business" I had to attend to.....boy did I sure feel like an a**hole when I walked into work the next day with a glaring sunburn whoops
  18. I get that im just saying its not the most convenient time for a big party day Then again im also getting old
  19. This is the one Buffalo party event I have never participated in(probably because in my prime partying years it wasn't that big then) but I would really like to check it out one of these years. The only problem is it does always seem to fall in the middle of a time where there's a lot going on(Easter, a lot of sports things going on, beginning of golf season,etc.) and its tough to justify using a vaca day at work for something like that. I'm thinking maybe next year i'll skip out on St. Paddy's Day and take In Dyngus Day instead. Like somebody mentioned above though if it gets too big, where it looks like its headed, it will lose its charm as all the dbags start coming out for it.
  20. I used to enjoy watching old games from the glory years but even that has started to become tough for me because its just going on so long now that the Bills have been irrelevant that you can only stomach watching games from over 20 years ago now for so long. And the fact that we just keep getting further and further away from those days also makes it tougher to watch nowadays. But if I go to a game then I usually dvr it and watch it later in the week whenever I have time because when your at the game and your partying you do miss so many things
  21. That's awesome, I wish I could've made it there myself but I've just had way too busy of a schedule lately unfortunately. Sounds like the event did justice for the incredible life Ralph lived.
