  1. I think people thought he was the second coming of Jim drunkenmiller (one of my favorite surnames) and it wasn't fantasy football. People just thought he'd be a big armed nonentity. Which unfortunately does describe Jim Drunkenmiller.
  2. I'm a professional baseball scout and the easiest thing in the world to do is to ***** on a prospect. You'll be right almost all the time. People have had jobs out here in Asia for years doing just that. But I will tell you (and I'm just a bills fan, never played, don't know the game in depth like some on here do), that I was never more excited than when we drafted Josh Allen. My baseball analogy is Randy Johnson, everything was there, you could see it, but it never worked until he was twenty six or some such. But when it started to work, there were very few comparable talents. I applaud beane as a GM because there were easier calls. He could have taken the easy way out, but he put it all on the line. That was an old school scouting call in a stat driven zeitgeist.
  3. Let us know if you ever stop in Taiwan. Though I don't know what it would be like to hang out at my restaurant drinking with another human and shouting at the t.v at three in the morning. It may throw of the delicate balance of the neighborhood
  4. Yes, that's all he was. A decorated soldier and famous showman. Ha I hope the bills aren't pressured to change their name because it will bring out the absolute worst in the fan base in terms of William Cody apologists.
  5. I remember it as the first eight games of the first year = The Man. After that, lordy.
  6. Honestly, the pathetic negativity whenever we're down by a field goal is emblematic of the worst aspects of WNY.
  7. Love these game day threads. Reminds me why I left Buffalo. Ha.
  8. So stupid. When we win the super bowl, don't celebrate.
  9. Hope it's a collar bone. Well, relative to a more serious injury. Scary play.
  10. This is bizarre
  11. The last time a punter got this much attention was when?
  12. As an attorney, he deserves all constitutional protections to which he is entitled and i would be surprised if anything comes of this criminally. As a bills fan, he is a ***** punter. Bye bye.
  13. Jesus wept. Three paragraphs
  14. If Marv Levy can be in a Buffalo Bills super bowl parade, I will cry in front of my children. Again. I'll also cry if we win the bloody super bowl.
  15. People forget that the Comeback was blacked out! Had to go to casa de pizza or whatever it's called, the place on elmwood. They sold tickets through the grapevine or else it was a knock three times and ask for Luigi sort of deal. Ha
  16. Alcoa! Awesome mate. Loved those clips. Always at two minute warning, if memory serves
  17. I'd say Cody Ford
  18. Christ on a crutch. That's too much. Tell that story to other old guys at the bar if you have to, don't put that shite out into the world. 24 year old kid dead. Tragedy. End of.
  19. Taiwan 12U, 15U, and 18U baseball teams still rock. No funny stuff about birth certificates these days. Also I reckon the protein deficiency between Taiwan and the US in 1970s made up for the age gap. Final note, Taiwan Jones needs to have "Taiwan", not "Jones", on the back of his jersey this year. The whole island will buy bills jerseys.
  20. Yes, ha. Still have my license, but haven't practiced in years. As I recall, the state has no duty to present exculpatory evidence. All depends on that DA.
  21. A grand jury would indict a ham sandwich
  22. Number 1: can finally buy a Jersey with my name on it. Number 2: Miller will draw 10x more holding calls than Jerry Hughes. Ha Great signing
  23. My first game. Ten years old. Had to jump up on metal bench seat to see Bell going down the field. Then froze for three hours. Ha
  24. I do not like American football, or the other one really. Both randomized by referees. Both watered down. I grew up with the Bills. Remember every game from 1982 on, with some prodding. Every Sunday, no matter what was going on, my grandfather, my dad, and I watched the game together. Through the wee boy times to the turbulent teenager times, we had that even if all was not well personally. The Bills are probably the last thing in the world over which I have no control that I allow to manipulate me emotionally. And my season ends when they're done. Not going to lie, part of me wanted them to leave before the fracking overlord bought them. It would have meant closure on a sad book and freedom. Today I am glad I get to watch Josh Allen play. Like Kelly, elway, and cam (the running, only the running!) combined. But my season is definitely over. Don't care until the draft when I'll be back looking for any news available. Anyone else Bills or nothing?
