Another great more in-depth AFL series, Full Color Football, the History of the American Football League, all episodes on YouTube.

Sam Spence, the man behind much of the great NFL Films music, belongs in the Hall as well.

I was in Green Bay for the 2010 Bills game and the day before, took the Lambeau Stadium tour. Now Buffalo doesn't have as much a history as the Packers, and Orchard Park isn't the Mecca Green Bay is, but we've got enough to put together a nice museum and a regular stadium tour. I think fans, especially on Saturdays before game days, would come to the stadium and enjoy a tour and a decent museum...I don't think it would take a lot on the Bills end, and if you end the tour at the team store, they'll surely reap the profits.

This is true, Facenda never uttered the term...it was mimicked by Chris Berman, using his best Facenda imitation. Ed and Steve Sabol, together with John Facenda, formed the Holy Trinity at NFL Films...they were the right people at the right time, and their talents turned the NFL, not into America's pastime, but into America's passion. My generation, us old geezers in our sixties, began our love for the game thanks to this magnificent trio.

Great museum. Was down to NOLA a couple of times for work and only got to spend four hours there once when it was just the D Day museum. As you said, it's expanded to include all of WWII now...I'd love to see it some time.

It's going to be a long two weeks between the last preseason game and the opener.

I seem to recall the Bills were up 14-0 to Atlanta and in the second Colt game in 1980.

Odd, they never mentioned he played lacrosse during the game telecasts...

I've always thought this. I was at the Colt game at Rich after the great win in San Diego. When the Bills were coming out onto the field, a bunch of us were standing over the tunnel, all chanting "Six and O!" The Bills offense never really got going in that game, and you're right, winning either game in 1980 over a mediocre Baltimore team would have given the Bills homefield throughout.

I was there and part of the field stormers after the game...I of course remember the goal posts coming down and people ripping up pieces of turf to have as souvenirs (the next week's home game against the Jets, you could see where the patches were laid). Really an unforgettable game, one of the top five I've been lucky to be at, and dang, was it ever hot!

I was at the Cleveland Thursday nighter...never had worse abuse as a visiting fan than that game.

His banter with Johnny Carson was always entertaining as well.

Most likely a multi-year contract with little interaction by Danny in 2001/2002.

Word I heard was that Danny became very close with Doug Flutie and his family (remember Flutie's Favorite Subs?). Danny then became disenchanted with Ralph in 2000, when Flutie was benched for the Tenny playoff game and pretty much the 2000 season. Danny vowed to have little or nothing to do with the team after that point. Again, this is all hearsay, but it is odd that Wegmans has little to do with the one entity that puts, and keeps, Buffalo on the map.

The decal on the helmet that year was bigger than in years past...a very solid look. I also like the red socks with the white pants and blue jerseys, another good look.

Losing the finale to a mediocre Colt team and with Washington's Chip Lohmiller missing a short game winning FG at Cincy the day before, cost the Bills home field advantage in 1988. I'm convinced that if the AFC championship game was in OP, the Bills would have went to their first Super Bowl in 1988.

Happy birthday, Dave Edmunds

Always good stuff. In the 1969 opener, the Rockpile crowd actually cheered the Jets during introductions for beating the Colts in SB III. The Jets win was for the entire AFL and all AFL fans appreciated it. I believe by 1969, NFL Films was handling the AFL as well. With the merger agreement, AFL Films was absorbed by the Sabol family.

Remember the play well...told my mother that if 49ers get the touchdown, I was throwing myself into the Christmas tree. Alas, the holiday was saved.
