Best Player Available Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 One of if not THE best Buffalo Bill ever. Short but sweet.

Best Player Available Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 You're supposed to say " 'nuff said" yea, I can't wait to read this to. I wonder if he gets into the detail like Felser and Eddie Abromoski did when they wrote about his total dominance of the game, and on field destruction. Anyone remember Cookie selling Christmas trees at the Airport plaza? A little different pay structure during his time. "nuff said
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Yeah Paul Brown really changed the course of Cookie's life. Probably not in a good way either. 'Nuff sad.
chaccof Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Lookie lookie here comes Cookie....I think a lot of guys had to have second jobs in the off season during the sixties and maybe up to the mid 70's....I guess my family didn't get their X-mas tress at Airport Plaza because I don't remember him selling trees there.

Yea, he did for 2 years. My dad took us there. he was in front near Cavages. If you were a kid into football it was pretty cool.

I can't remember who the player was, but I heard once, there was a Bills player, in the early days of the franchise, who had an off-season job at Twin Fair worked into his contract.
