Willyville Guy Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 "Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest." Rest in peace. Thanks for setting a great example for the rest of us. Go Bills.
BobDVA Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 I would like to say good-bye to Kent Hull, wish his family the best. I was then and always shall be a Kent Hull super fan!
Fan in San Diego Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Tragic, a legend has left us. God bless him and his family.
#89 Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 I was heart sick all night. That was a wonderful man. One of the sweetest. He pissed Kelly off when he saw me walking by Jim's RV party and he raised the rope to let me in. He just told Jim that I belonged in there. I out of respect just hugged a few of the guys and left. I was on a Bills cruise and Kent sat at my table with a big black eye I asked if he won the fight and he told me he was loading a bull and it kicked him. My favorite Hull story was when he was hiking me the ball in the Bills parking lot after a game and I just pinched his butt. He turned around so fast and I replied I had no interest in the ball or breaking a nail but always wanted to pinch his a$$. bye I hope we meet again but I'll have to be very, very good. Gosh I really loved that old team. They were so much fun. All my love, you dear sweet cuddly bear of a man.
bills_fan Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 I am stunned. And shocked. And really, really sad. RIP Kent.

BuffalOhio Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Rest in Peace, 67. You will truly be missed. I loved listening to your interviews. Such a sad day. Here's an article from his hometown news. He was loved everywhere: Greenwood Commonwealth By BILL BURRUS Sports Editor | 0 comments Kent Hull was a standout football player in high school, college and the NFL. He is well-known for his four years as the starting center for Mississippi State and later as a Pro Bowl performer who played in four Super Bowls with the Buffalo Bills. But Mr. Hull, who died Tuesday at 50, will be remembered by those who knew him best for so much more. They remember a gentle giant who was giving, was a great friend and was a loving father and husband. ...
Cornerville Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 RIP Kent, and thoughts and prayers to his family, former teammates, and friends here that have met him in the past. And to all of us, as we are part of the Bills family. I have a a suggestion for TBD: a photto of Kent Hull on the top of the page for the remainder of the season in his honor.
Lofton80 Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Caught this remembrence at the Mississippi St. site Never heard this before but thought it spoke volumes about #67. RIP His fellow players regard Hull as a great teammate and he revealed a piece of that legend in the locker room after their first Super Bowl loss, a 20-19 defeat by the New York Giants. A last second 47-yard field goal attempt by Bills kicker Scott Norwood went wide right as time expired. “I’m getting ready to leave the locker room and there’s Scott Norwood sitting there, still in his uniform,” he says. “I went over there and said ‘take your stuff off and get over there in the shower.’ And he’s all upset. I said, ‘Scott, let me tell you something. Had I done my job better, that 47-yard field goal might have been a 33- or 37-yard field goal. Now you go get in the shower.’ And I waited till he got dressed and we left together.”

BMWR100RT Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 My mom, who passed away last year, always would remind me which athletes she thougth had the most charactor. She could look past the money, and the wins and losses and she just said it like it was. She absolutely loved Kent. A sad day indeed.
twist_to_open Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Condolences to his family. RIP Big Guy.
5 Wide Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 God Bless Kent and his family. I can't write something here that hasn't been written already, but he was a player I truly admired. Rest in Peace 67, we all miss you and you are forever loved around here.
Moose Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Rest in peace, Mr. Hull... Condolences to his family, too. Kent Hull and Darryl Talley were my two favorite Buffalo Bills of the Super Bowls era.
You herd it hear last Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 A top 5 center ever to play NFL football...everybody talks about Kelly, Reed, Thomas, Smith, etc... but his play in that system re-defined the position. He made the whole thing go. RIP Kent Hull...All Bills fans owe you a debt of gratitude... My regards to his close friends and family. jc
