Tipster19 Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 I'm not saying this for sympathy (ok,maybe a little would be nice. Lol!) but because here I am, fresh from a mild heart attack, laying in a hospital bed with a ton of time (hopefully!) on my hands and guess what I'm mostly thinking about? These stinking Buffalo Bills and their upcoming season! And here's the kicker. I know that most of you maniacs out there would be doing the exact same thing! I have come to the conclusion that we are a bunch of sick bastards (literally) to be a Bills' fan. Here's a franchise that hasn't accomplished **** in well over a decade and here I am eternally optimistic about the upcoming season.......again, like the past several years! Lol! I hope this post comes off right and that it's not misinterpreted. I really love this team/franchise for just about the past 4 decades and I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming season, I'm hoping and expecting a BIG year for our beloved Bills! Anyways, here's the silver lining to my ****ty situation. I haven't been able to get into or follow the path of the Bills for about a year now like I have in the past due to what's been going on in my life, which in turn has probably contributed heavily to my current situation but now I can lie here and do ALL the reading and research that a die hard Bills' fan would love to do. So I guess that this is a fair warning to everyone to brace themselves for all my wild predictions, prognostications and speculations on the upcoming draft! Lol! I'd like to ask for a mulligan and not have everyone blast me because it will be coming from my best intentions, passion and love for this crazy !@#$ing franchise that I got trapped with almost 40 years ago. One last thing. Go Bills!

One last thing. Go Bills! When I'm vacationing in a hospital, they have never let me have internet devices. How did you pull that off?
Tipster19 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks guys, I REALLY appreciate your condolences. Oh, btw, my IPhone. Love it, as far as I'm concerned it's the best device ever made!
mrags Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 First things first man, Get Better. And second and every point after that is that you are correct and probably exactly the same as many if not most of us here. No matter how we sometimes bicker about "keep this person, trade that person, Johnson is better than Flutie, Fred is old, Ralph is cheap, who's the better draft pick, etc..." the fact is all of us here are sickly in love with this franchise!!! If we weren't, we wouldn't be arguing these things in some stupid forum. We'd be just like any regular run of the mill fan. The kind of fan that sees you walking down the street and says "Bills huh, I'm a fan too, heard they just signed some defensive guy, is he any good?" I font think any of us on TBD fall into that catagory. As much as I argue with some peoples opinions sometimes, it's normal. I wouldn't trade my love for this team for anything in the world. That includes everyone here. You are all lime family to me, (some of you actually are) and I couldn't think of a better bunch of people to enjoy my most favorite thing on this planet with. Get Better Tipster And GO BILLS!!!
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Give us your name and the hospital. Most hospitals have a way to e-mail greetings to you that get printed and delivered directly to your room.
Tipster19 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 It's Tom Reale (one proud !@#$ing Bills' fan!) at Health Park, fort Myers, Fl. That's one awfully nice offer but you really don't have to do that. What would even be better if people could bring me up to speed on the upcoming prospects because I'm WAY behind the curve. Thanks again though, you're a good dude!
BillsWest Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Get better soon. There are better ways to get caught up you know!
KD in CA Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Glad you are ok, but is following the Bills more closely really considered a heart healthy activity?
Tipster19 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 Get better soon. There are better ways to get caught up you know! The best remedy would be a post season appearance! All kidding aside, I pray to God that I'll be able to see the Bills actually win a Super Bowl before my time passes. I'm not joking about that.
Maddog69 Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Get well soon. That ticker is going to need to be strong for draft day when the Bills pick a kicker in Rd1.
mellaman101 Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Get healthy! Kick back and watch the Sabres tonight. Have heart issues myself and made some life changes.
Kelly the Dog Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 All I know is if I were a doctor, I would NOT recommend visiting TBD to give your heart a rest. Get well, Mr. Tipster.
Billsrhody Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 'Tis the season for optimism! The off-season! Feel better man!
Rubes Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Glad you are ok, but is following the Bills more closely really considered a heart healthy activity? This.
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Feel better man... I have a feeling we will all be rewarded with a minimum of at least a good season...
