Oh, but I thought we all loved these end zone celebrations? -
I watch the Bills of course, in the 1:00 window mostly, and if they win, I'll turn over to RedZone for awhile. If they lose, the TV goes off for the rest of the day. I watch the Thursday and Sunday night games to help me fall asleep...maybe see 15 minutes of each, max. Especially hate how SNF has become "Football Night in America" with all the bells/whistles etc to rival a Super Bowl game in the 1990s. Al Michaels is a great announcer, but I've grown tired of him. Wouldn't mind seeing Tirico in the prime spot. Have not watched more than 15 minutes of MNF this year, total. I'm a Sunday Ticket subscriber, so if they've lost me, for a large portion of the TV schedule, I can't imagine the "casual" fan watching much of the NFL.

End zone celebrations
Ned Flanders replied to Buffalo Barbarian's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I wonder how Sam Huff, Chuck Bednarik or Ray Nitschke would react to these "celebrations." Count me among the old bastards who think they're a bit over the top. If I want this type of "fun," I'll watch European soccer on Saturday morning. That Chiefs celebration yesterday while they were STILL BEHIND IN THE GAME was a joke. Be like HOFer Thurman Thomas: "Act like you've been there before." -
Romo and "Hello Friends" are doing the Bills-Pats game this week, I believe.

is it that bad this year that SU cannot even get a single vote in either poll? http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/rankings

Thank you, but another Veterans Day here at the salt mine. Raise your hand if you're a veteran and at work today.

Best and Worst Travel Experiences
Ned Flanders replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was at that Pitt game also and the only thing that happened to us was one Steeler fan tried to spit on us on the way in...fortunately, the bastard missed. Before the game, we were on WHAM, who was broadcasting from a bar across the street from the stadium. After the game, we were just walking to our car and came across the Kelly clan and Papa Joe Kelly invited us over to partake in food and beverages. What a super guy he was! Saw Jim briefly as he was being heckled by Steeler fans walking in the parking lot to the RV. Jim pretty much ignored them and spent his time in the RV with his family. -
2017 NFL Maps: Week 10 Updated
Ned Flanders replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's easy, Buffalo and New Orleans are relatively small markets with little national following, whereas both the Pack and Bears have a national following despite their records. -
Best and Worst Travel Experiences
Ned Flanders replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Best Bills road trip: Green Bay. Great atmosphere and even better fans. Worst Bills road trip: Cleveland. Went to the Thursday night game there a couple of years ago and the place was full of a-holes. -
What is your favorite Buffalo Bills memory?
Ned Flanders replied to Canadian Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ah, yes, the Roland Hooks game in 1981...and the catch before the Hail Mary was more spectacular than the TD. I remember looking down a tunnel in the upper deck and seeing guys piling out of the bathroom to see what the hell happened...many with their pants still down around their knees! -
9 wins will get Bills to playoffs if....
Ned Flanders replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Earlier in the season, Philly fans turned the 27k seat StubHub Center in LA into a home game and stomped the Chargers. I expect nothing less from West Coast Bills fans, who should fill 26k of the 27k seats. If it becomes Orchard Park West, the Bills should have little trouble from a Charger team that could be 3-6 by the time we play them. -
What is your favorite Buffalo Bills memory?
Ned Flanders replied to Canadian Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Umm...that game was in New England. Now, that was a great moment too. Freddy Smerlas leading some players back out onto the field and doing a victory dance, while we fans stayed and savored the victory. -

Ned Flanders replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's been awhile...the year we could have gone to the playoffs by beating Pitt in the finale, I think the Bills won in Seattle @SF in 1992 @ LA Raiders in 1991 I can't remember any others -
What is your favorite Buffalo Bills memory?
Ned Flanders replied to Canadian Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
1974 opener and oddly, it didn't sell out, which meant that if you weren't there, in WNY all you had was the radio. -
What is your favorite Buffalo Bills memory?
Ned Flanders replied to Canadian Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Halftime of the 1990 AFC championship and we were up 41-3. The high-fiving, hugging and other highjinx in the concourse...we knew we were going to the Super Bowl. -
I started with the 1996 D&C HyperBills, then migrated over to the TBD we know today.

How many classes did you fail in school?
Ned Flanders replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Got an F in "Beginning Weight Training" at SUNY Brockport. I never went to the class, applied for an incomplete, with every thought of finishing it the next semester after an internship on Capitol Hill. Well, I was fortunate to land a job on the Hill, never went back and needed only two classes to get my degree at George Mason. Administration at Brockport refused to pull the F off my transcripts after my numerous attempts to do so. I'm still bitter about it to this day. I have a 3.5 ungrad GPA, a 3.75 in my major, political science, and that freakin' F stands out like a sore thumb. Bastards. -

Why are MNF ratings low this season?
Ned Flanders replied to CodeMonkey's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Really? Imagine in August buying tickets, a flight and reserving a hotel for a Sunday game, and only 10 days out be told, "Umm, we moved your game to Monday night." Not going to happen. And the above is the primary reason the NFL will not flex Monday night games.
