Worst thing is it doesn't happen. Feel like I have to sign up or something. Way he is talking the 50 people have already been selected What if 75 people were to show up? There might be a possibility that he will modify his plans as far as how many people to buy for… if it's a manageable number. Just a thought. Good Luck.

I love Draytons enthusiasm for the Bills and Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInUticaTampa Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Thanks. I am going to show up either way. It is only ten minutes from my place. It can't hurt by showing up.

Worst.thing he flakes out or too many people show up. I like my odds though. first 50 on me implies that the number of attendees wont be limited just the amount of people he will pay for. I would assume others can join but pay their own way. All just my assumption though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Gun Kelly Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Any updates gents? Yep. Only a small contingent of us showed up. Which probably made it that much better for the ones that did. He brought Cleo Lemon (former Dolphins QB) and Kevin House Jr with him. Old buddies from the Chargers days. A true class act if you ask me. Not too mention you can sense the excitement when he talks about this upcoming season. He is 1 billion percent behind this front office as well. Even did his final toast to Buddy. My wife and I could not wipe the smiles off our faces thanks to Flo. This team loves their fans and we love them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any good jokes, insights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInUticaTampa Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Agreed. Total class act and he is very much behind the front office, and he loves western ny. Only 9 of us showed up, but k-gun said, it just made it better for us. I can post more later, leaving for work now. But few quick hits, drayton is actually taking some college classes right now, after his toast to buddy he mentioned he loves jauron and still talks to him, it was a Spanish menu, nice place, and we ordered whatever we wanted. And he got 3 rounds of patron shots for us. He said when Mario got signed he wanted the season to start the next day. He made a lot of tom Brady type jokes that we are not playing around this year. He asked us a lot about ourselves too. Seemed very genuine. And he loves the cheeseburger soup in buffalo, and none of us had it before, and he couldn't stop talking about it for awhile haha.

Awesome! Thanks, Dan and I'm glad you went and had a great time! BTW, it's really hard not to let this anecdote color your view of the player… who I always thought was the victim of a non-existent pass rush anyways.

BillsFanNC Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 This is extremely cool, it sounds like Drayton is a real down to earth guy. Maybe Mario can do something similar with us Raleigh Bills fans?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExWNYer Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Very cool. Sounds like a great time. We haven't had this much anticipation and excitement leading up to a Bills season in a loooooooooooooong time....and we haven't even seen the draft additions to come.
