I'm referring to the Marv Levy GM years where it seemed they made an emphasis on drafting choir boys who were not very talented.

These are valid points as well. The Foster thing was weird to me, he seemed like such an awesome prospect but then he slid so far that I thought for sure there was something seriously wrong with him that wasn't out to the general public yet but then the 49ers draft him and all we heard about once again was how awesome this guy is gonna be. I have a buddy who is a 49ers fan who is absolutely thrilled that they were able to grab him.

I agree with the OP somewhat in the sense that I really thought we could have had the steal of the draft with Reuben Foster at 27, I know the kid had some off the field problems but I also saw a sincere love and passion for football from the kid and he looked so humbled when he was finally drafted by the Niners. I think he could turn out to be the second coming of Patrick Willis. I do like the kid we drafted to play corner and I just hope that McD was dead set on taking him and wasn't afraid of taking a shot at Foster because of some "character concerns". It's too early to tell I just hope this isn't like the Marv Levy/Dick Jauron era all over again.

Glad there's some fellow Chester's fans on this board I'm a northtowns guy so I'm not out that way frequently but I will make it a must stop during golf season after we go out for 19th hole suds and grub

Although not off the beaten path by any means since it's located on Transit but a restaurant that I think is awesome in WNY that I NEVER hear anybody else ever talk about is Chester's...a Cajun/New Orleans style restaurant which holds a unique place in the WNY restaurant scene.

Yes Heading downtown shortly to soak in the experience Never been a huge UFC fan but It's another great thing for the city to get the opportunity to host one and I'm looking forward to a different sporting experience than what I'm normally accustomed to. I'm hearing rumors that alot of former and current Bills players will be attending tonight so that will be pretty cool

No problem, glad you liked it, I really enjoyed reading it as well.

In honor of WrestleMania day I wanted to share this retrospective look back at WM 3 I came across the other day, this was a very well done look back at the one that put professional wrestling on the map. If you are a fan of nostalgia and grew up watching WWF then you should enjoy this http://www.detroitnews.com/story/entertainment/2017/03/29/wrestlemania-iii-oral-history-30-years/99729286/?curator=SportsREDEF

DDP's speech was excellent, it was a little long but he kept it interesting. Also absolutely mind-blowing he didn't start training for professional wresting until the age of 35

He's from Orchard Park I believe?

Jimbo was such a Jock back in his day, that's what this team has been lacking under center these last 17 years a true alpha male

The man kept his promise all those years, doing everything he could to keep the Bills in Buffalo. For that I will be forever grateful RIP Ralph, I miss ya

Read that in the newspaper yeterday, had no idea it was written by one of our own! Great job

Watching Two and a Half Men reruns. The show is so cheesey yet it has its hilarious moments at the same time. I dunno that's a show that I normally wouldn't admit to being a big fan of in my real life circle of friends and acquantices This message board Rewatching old sports highlights/games on youtube from years ago

Ugh this is even harder than the tv show thread Goodfellas Forrest Gump Dazed and Confused Die Hard Almost Famous but there's alot of other ways I could go with this list as well

Married With Children The Wonder Years Seinfeld The Simpsons(prime years) South Park Honorable Mention: Freaks and Geeks(excellent show just didn't have the longevity to be on the all time top 5 list)

It's Hard to Win in The NFL is the only concept the Bills have mastered over the last 17 years

Some good replies so far fellas keep em coming Another one that just popped into my head that hasn't been mentioned yet was the Hulk Hogan Ultimate Warrior showdown at WM6...at the time it was unheard of for two "good guys" to square off

I see we have some Wrestling Fans on here and I know right now It's Wrestlemania season. I don't really watch anymore but I did just see the Scott Hall documentary and like to reminisce about the glory days of watching it growing up so figured this could be a fun topic: 1) Wrestlemania 7 -My personal favorite was when Miss Elizabeth came to the rescue when Macho King Randy Savage was getting attacked by Queen Sherri. This was at a time when WWF was larger than life to me and the it just seemed so emotional 2) WrestleMania 13 -Brett Hart v.s. Steve Austin in the classic double turn face/heel turn. The psychology from both guys in the lead up to this match was fantastic and the ending where Stone Cold Steve never says I quit but passes out in the sharpshooter with his head busted open is one of the best finishes in Wrestling history IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUgIQmpdcAo 3) WrestleMania 12 -60 minute iron man match between Brett Hart and Shawn Michaels for the championship. Both guys bring their A game in the instant classic Most Underrated WM match Brett Hart v.s. Rowdy Roddy Piper Intercontinental Championship Match at WM 8 http://www.wrestlingforum.com/columns/2129457-bret-hart-vs-roddy-piper-intercontinental-championship-wrestlemania-8-a.html If you are an old school Wrestling fan follow that link for an excellent in depth recap of the brilliance of that match and its lead up You will never see professional Wrestling as good as this ever again sadly

Yes they are called Buffalo Sports Fans
