PromoTheRobot Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 We have quite a few rookies in town for mini-camp. Unlike training camp where there are dorms, I was wondering what the Bills do for players? I assume a hotel. Any idea which one? Are the players stuck in some boring part of town? PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I can tell you some of the rookies are moving into the apartment complex where I live, right down the road from the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I believe Marshawn is taking them all out on Chippewa this evening - BYOB, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNNYFAIRPLAY Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Are the players stuck in some boring part of town? I hope they are in Kenmore. When I was a kid growing up in N. Bflo, they treated us like filth if we dared cross into the territory. The NFT bus company made you pay an extra 5 cents in and out, too. what the hell did you say here? I cant make any sense of it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I believe Marshawn is taking them all out on Chippewa this evening - BYOB, of course. And $20 to be their "tour guide". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson from Gamehendge Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 what the hell did you say here? I cant make any sense of it at all. Pretty self-explanatory. When he was a kid growing up in North Buffalo, the people of Kenmore treated he and his friends like filth if they entered into Kenmore, being from North Buffalo. The bus company would charge him an extra five cents to cross into Kenmore from North Buffalo...and another five cents on the way back. Makes sense to me.

BuffaloBill Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 And $20 to be their "tour guide". They have to pay an extra $10 to avoid being run over by the tour bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Buffalo's first suburb. But the urban blight reached it eventually. It's still okay, but not what it was. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobesBLO13 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I worked for an apartment complex on Big Tree Road behind stadium and on Armor Duells. A lot of them stayed there. The managers couldn't stand bending over backwards for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a farmhouse from that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobesBLO13 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 What did the players expect them to do? Wash their cars? PTR It didn't bother me because it was fun to talk to Bills players and coaches. But management had to take care of EVERYTHING. Normally for the common folk it was 'Here's your keys see you in 12 months'. But for the players everything needed to be taken care of, things like furniture and cable...and this was usually for 30 days at most. Plus as we all know NFL players aren't angels so cops were called a lot which was obivously a disturbance for full time tenants. I remember in once instance a certain player was actually growing a marijuana plant OUTSIDE. One person that stands out as being very cool was Jim McNally. He moved in a few days after we got him from the Giants. I remember bringing his bags to his apartment and they had the Giants logo all over them. He gave us a $40 dollar tip for a few bags. Then over the spring we'd see him at the bar down the street and he'd buy us drinks and wings and shoot the shiz with us. Awesome guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father knows McNally pretty well, He's a Kenmore West alumni and my father is the Kenmore West football coach. He used to come around every once in a while and talk to the kids and help them out during camps as well. Last year he was at the 50th anniversary of the East-West game and I saw him strolling around in his old Ken-West jersey. Good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
