Billy in 4C Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Same game, minutes apart - Smashing beers with Jim Kelly in the parking lot before the Miami game 3 years ago. It was cold and icy, so as we were walking to our seats (happened to be in the M&T suite that day), we saw Ralph get out of a golf cart outside to walk into the entrace to the luxury suites and straight BITE IT on the icy pavement. I seriously thought he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Spartacus Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Still living in Buffalo. In my 20s. I was dating this great, really hot girl, and it was getting serious. One day in bed, for the first time, she looked me in the eye and summoned the strength to say she loved me. The first time either of us had said it. And I looked her back in the eye, at one of the most heartfelt moments of my life, and said, "I love The Bills." True story, and many of my friends favorite story about me. We stayed together for quite some time after, and actually lived together. So she knew I was totally serious. Kelly - I didn't know you dated Monica Washington!

BillsWest Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Got my young son one of those Buffalo Bill football outfits with the plastic helmet (not so easy in California 15 years ago). It was a Jim Kelly one. He wore it alot, including for Halloween, his birthday. Some how though, he migrated to become a 49er fan. We kept the helmet on display in our living room. Years later, my brothers young son came over and saw the helmet. He said his dad has Bills helmets but he can't play with them (autographed ones). So immediately I handed it over to him to have and play with. He wore it out the door, all the way on the car ride home, and in to their house to proudly show his mom and dad.

Adam Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 When going to the Buffalo/Houston playoff game in 1993, the Oil/Choke light came on in my car. Didn't think much of it, cause it always came on after about 30 minutes of driving. It came on after the game and I had to pull over to the side of the road, because neither me nor my friends could stop laughing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffery Lester Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I paid 20.00 dollars for 2 tickests to the Bills, Houston playoff game the night before the game. I took the city Bus to the game so I could not leave and just had a blast. My coolest bills moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Around 94/95 I beat up a guy because he was a Cowboys fan. I taught him a lesson for bragging about his Super Bowl wins against the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baseballbob Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 It was during the Super Bowl years, can't remember exactly what year it was, but it was a regular season game in OAKLAND of all places. We went on an excursion in a bus from the hotel, and were all painted and dressed in Bills' attire (in fact, I was wearing Zubaz)! Believe me when I write that what you've heard about Raiders fans and the stadium there is true. It was rowdy and bordering on somewhat scary for Bills' fans. And what a game it was.....I don't remember all the details, but it was back and forth, the Bills' made a comeback, sent the game into overtime, and there were missed field goals by both teams (?), but the Bills' finally won it in overtime. Just a great game! Well, it wasn't so much fun getting out of the stadium, onto the bus, and out of the parking lot/area. It was legitimately somewhat scary. But it's an experience I'll never forget.

Kelly the Dog Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 It was legitimately somewhat scary. But it's an experience I'll never forget. I met a bartender in Washington, D.C. a long time ago who was known as "Baseball Bob", so named because his wife threw him out at home so many times.

AxelRipper Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 This one is more of my parents rather than me, but still amusing because well... The day of superbowl XXV, my mom and grandparents were forced to drive through the massive snowstorm in buffalo that day, and my dad got called away from the superbowl party he was at when they got there. The reason? My mom went into labor. With me. They watched the entire game and wide right in the hospital, and I was born early the next morning. Needless to say, my name isn't Scott.

JOHNNYFAIRPLAY Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 So women aren't allowed at NFL games unless they're accompanied by a large group of men who are ready to kill other fans. Got it. Yes. Its very close to walking into a supermax prison yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Philster Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 A couple of years ago, after the Bills lost to the Jets with Loseman fumbling for a Jets TD in the last minute, I cancelled my Direct TV contract and my NFL season ticket for the next year. I took that $300 and used it for therapy (filled my booze locker) for 50 years of Bills frustration (including the Monday night last second loss to DalASS and the bozo loss to Cleveland). The Bills can now move to Toronto and who cares.A mega-dollar job opportunity in the Buffalo area will be psyco-therapy after the Bills move to Toronto. I can just imagine all the nut cases searching for answers. Look to your nearest liquor store...it's there. Go ahead, keep watching the bumbling bills and you too will learn to throw your Bills mugs around the house while the wife, dogs and cats run for cover.. apparently, the word "cool" isn't something you're familiar with, bandwagoner Giving up on the Bills AND hoping the region collapses? We can't afford to lose the Bills and everyone knows it When going to the Buffalo/Houston playoff game in 1993, the Oil/Choke light came on in my car. Didn't think much of it, cause it always came on after about 30 minutes of driving.

UBbulls626` Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 At the Packers game a few years ago a Packers fan was walking by with a cheese head on when I said: "You have cheese on your head? I have cheese on my dick head from your wife's yeast infection". He then continued to talk to me offering to bring over his wife who was currently in the bathroom. 10 minutes later he comes back with his wife and she says: "you got something to say to me" and I said "Yes, you got cheese all over my dick from your yeast infection." She stormed off with me yelling something about hooking up with her during halftime. The male Packers fan tried to shake my hand and be cool but I was having none of it.

milehiLou Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 raiders game 05(?) lee evans rookie yr)) in the black hole, the bills left end was held in the endzone right in front of me and (way down there) and i jumped up signaling a safety when some one yellled "sit down rudy" and chucked a beer at me, after sixteen or seventeen beers and plenty of medical marijuana i gave some thought to shouting back something stupid but just yelled back "holding in the end zone is a safety" to which i was greeted with more beers, pretzels, loogies probably, and whatever other crap those animals could muster up, must have wasted like 200 buucks worth of snacks on me, suckers.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 OK, ...so we are probably in the slowest part of the season or close to it right now. And I am bored with the lack of things to talk or read about. I have never started a thread before as I have never really thought of anything original to say. But I was thinking the other day, I have some great Bills memories. And as much as some of you guys get on my nerves sometimes and I may disagree with you, you just might be cool in your own way and I just don't know it. so here is a chance for all of us to get to know each other a little better and share some good tales and just enjoy the comaraderie for a change. After all, though it doesn't always seem that way, we ARE ON THE SAME TEAM! Go BILLS! Great idea for a thread. So obviously, i have to start. I've got 2 I'd like to share. The absolute coolest thing I have ever done as a Bills fan takes me back down to Tampa, Fl for the first superbowl against the Giants in 91. I was a young lad of about 21 and had just moved down to tampa in october of 90. I had started a furniture moving company up here in Rochester a couple years earlier and hated the snow so much, or working in it anyways, that I wanted to try my luck in Florida… On one side, I painted a huge blue charging buffalo with a red stripe and wrote AFC champs next to it. And on the other side, I made a huge flag that took up a good portion of the side. I even made sure there was the right amount of stars on it. And next to that, I wrote "Our Hearts Are With You Troops". It came out awesome I really must say. And on the back I think I just wrote the bills, afc champs. Come Superbowl sunday, I drove that sucker on down to the stadium. I can remember watching the helicopter gunships with machine guns at the ready circling around. It was just a surreal day… it was 500 bucks and a little too much for me at the moment. So I watched the game outside on a huge screen they put up at the mall next to tampa stadium with about 5,000 people, about half bills fans, half giants fans. I can remember holding hands with people at the end, waiting for history to make itself. And well, we all know how that day ended. I think i cried, but not really sure. I was so damn drunk at that point. don't know how I got the truck home either. But alas, I am still here to tell you about my best Bills day ever. Dude, Very rarely do I get emotional reading stuff on our board…I read this to my wife over dinner…had to stop a few times. I know noone likes novels(but at least I am using paragraphs!), so I'll make # 2 short and sweet. ...a few years back, the last times the bills swept the Dolphins, or the time before that (it's all a blur), i was sitting with my buddy in our season seats, corner endzone Bills side near the scoreboard about 12 rows up. Anyway, I tell my buddy, i really wish i had a broom cuz we're gonna sweep these fu##ers!… When he gets back, lo and behold, he has a frigging broom with him! How cool was that?! Needless to say, we swept the phins that day. After the game, we stayed and partied it up in the parking lot like good fans do. And then,.....the dolphins bus came rumbling towards us down the road. I ran up next to it and started waiving the broom back and forth. oh man they had to of been pissed! that was AWESOME! what a day! In a thread with tons of cool stories, you've got maybe the two best. Kudos, ERBF. Still living in Buffalo. In my 20s. I was dating this great, really hot girl, and it was getting serious. One day in bed, for the first time, she looked me in the eye and summoned the strength to say she loved me. The first time either of us had said it. And I looked her back in the eye, at one of the most heartfelt moments of my life, and said, "I love The Bills." True story, and many of my friends favorite story about me. Not bad. Were your buddies hiding in the closet? Well at least I won't feel guilty replying as I write novels too!...lol.... #1 Going to a Bills/Miami playoff game in Miami with my Wife and young daughter back in the early 90's when we had Flutie/R. Johnson… Anyways, We drove 24 hours to get to Miami, and did it in about 28hours or so. I did most of the driving and was exhausted. We had our minivan decorated with Bills writing and paraphanalia. When we got on I-95 in Florida we suddenly started to get a hard time! People were purposely messing with us… when we got within a few miles of their stadium it was pooring rain like a monsoon!..The cashier told me that their was a problem with my card and step inside. I was getting drenched of course...one of the guys told me they had to reset the pump and to step inside again...I do so and get more drenched!..I pull into the stadium parking lot and I guess I was a little earlier than security liked so they told me to come back in about an hour. I drove around and wasted some time...and now I was two hours before game time as instructed. I drove to the will call parking lot and security turned on the lights and sirens on their SUV. They followed me and stopped me even though I wasn't doing anything at all wrong. They asked me a few questions and I told them that I was picking up my tickets at Will Call. They responded by telling me to come back tomorrow they are closed! I explained that it was game day morning and I needed my tickets prior to the game..but they messed with me a little more...Finally they let me proceed to will call and I picked up my tickets. Unfortunately, there was a mix up they said with my tickets and they put me in the endzone almost right next to their team mascot. Some Roman like guy that kept pointing at me and my family (yes we had our bills shirts and hats on). By this time I was exhausted from the drive and really wanted to be left alone. The usher asked to see our tickets as we walked down to our seats. I remember that older guy saying that we needed to take our seats and be quiet. He told us (me in particular) that if he saw me standing up or yelling or anything that I would be removed from the stadium. We quietly sat down and kept quiet as we were in enemy territory and were receiving derogatory comments already from the fans. People were throwing peanuts and empty cups at us without any cause, except we had Bills shirts on. This continued throughout the game and then every few minutes their mascot would point at me and so would would many of their fans! They were yelling stuff at me and I just kept quiet and hoped the Bills would win. After it was obvious we blew it and were going to lose people were rubbing our noses in it even more, throwing more stuff at us and yelling obsenities as well. We went to our car quickly and I removed all the Bills writing and stuff on the sides of the vehicle. People would still mess with us when they saw our license was from NY State and their were probably license frames saying Bills or Sabres on them. It was a long ride back and as far as I am concerned I hate the Fins and always will! Later, I will give story #2 and 3...but my fingers are worn out now! squish the fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about a voyage of the damned! What an epic…surreal…and yes, you were asking for it. But as Nietzsche said (or was it Ray Nitschke?), that which does not kill you makes you stronger. The year was 1993 and it was a friday night. Living in Fort Lauderdale, a buddy of mine worked at the Weston Hotel and told me he got late word that the Bills would be staying there for the playoff game against the fins... While there, there was a knock-out babe seated by herself that I started to chat with. She was so pleasant and told me she lived in florida. I told her I was a Bills fan and she told me she was dating one of the players...none other than Jim Kelly. My next line was "Boy, how awesome to fly into a city and have a beautiful woman waiting for you." She was so flattered she took my name and address. About two months later I got an autographed picture from Kelly which I still have this day.And the autograph that I didn't really expect arrived which was icing on the cake. Nice story. Thought it'd have a different ending though. The "coolest" Bills thing I ever did was to deliver the game ball to the center of the field with Ms. Canada riding with me, then getting out and handing the ball to the referee and seeing myself with the ref., Ms. Canada, and the Jill of the week on the Jumbotron, and hearing my name announced in the stadium, it was awesome..! They made a Tape of it for me, it was the San Diego game in 2000 where flutie came off the bench to set up the winning field goal in overtime, my wife and twin 11 yr old sons were there with me and got to go on the field and sit on the players bench, they still talk about it to this day, I will never forget the feeling............ Very Cool! I was at a bachelor party of a local who knew Josh Reed from LSU. A few other rookies (I think it was Reed's 2nd year) were in attendance, Terrence McGee, Paris Jackson, and maybe Angelo Crowell (in total there were 4 or 5 guys with Reed, but he was the only one we actually 'knew'). At any rate, my buddy ...decided to hop in the limo with the groom and left us stranded at Dock of the Bay. Reed saw our predicament, and offered to give my friend and me a ride downtown. We thanked him profusely, and enjoyed riding in Reed's Denali and figured it would end there. Once we got downtown, we continued to thank them all for allowing us to squeeze in and impose upon them. Josh said "You guys aren't goin anywhere. We had to go to the white clubs with you, now you have to go to the black clubs with us!". He insisted that we hang out with them, and we did. Obviously we had a frikin blast! Can't say enough nice things about Reed! Another great story! Partying with the brothers. Where'd you guys go? 5. Getting cuffed at Bills-Chargers in San Diego in 2005 going into the game, thrown into the drunk tank, taken down to detox and then getting arrested in detox, before spending the next 12 hours in San Diego County Jail. All the while wearing a Sabres jersey and Canisius College basketball shorts. In Hollywood two nights before we saw Avril Lavigne, Vince Vaughn, Chris Rock, Spike Lee and Jenny McCarthy, so that was pretty cool. Metzelaars, your thread about moving back to Buffalo is one of the best ever. Glad you weighed in here. Also glad you didn't move back to Buffalo either you crazy son of a gun! They'd have to hide the women and children. Awesome thread, fellas. Puts it all in perspective. And a welcome break from our endless circular debates and our troll vigilanteism. Just Great stuff.
