hmsmystic Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 It's nice to see someone take the time to post a note when players do good things. Great read and kudos to these players!
San Jose Bills Fan Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Kudos to the Buffalo Bills. I'm glad you and your boy had such an unforgettable experience together. Sounds like it was priceless.

BRAWNDO Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 The Bills probably just solidified their next generation of fans.
BuffaloBud Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 They should be thanked more often. I still get chills thinking about being in The Aud chanting "Thank you Sabres!" They should be thanked more often. I still get chills thinking about being in The Aud chanting "Thank you Sabres!"

I still get chills thinking about being in The Aud chanting "Thank you Sabres!" The crowd did something similar during the AFC Championship Game against the Raiders in 1991. Chanting "Thank You Bills!" with about five minutes left in the game till the end.
CodeMonkey Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) From the sounds of it I'm not sure who had more fun, you or your son I have always been impressed with how the Bills organization and players go out of their way for kids. One trip to SJF for training camp and you will see what I mean. Sounds like this was another fine example! Didn't see his email, but did find this as a way to contact him. @RussBrandon on Twitter Edited June 4, 2012 by CodeMonkey
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 That sounds so cool, and it sounds like the players were as engaged as the kids (& parents) were. Kudos all around.
DrDawkinstein Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Wow! Sounds like an amazing time that you and your son will never forget!
Wooderson Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 All of the players seemed to really enjoy the event as well. Many of them going to twitter and saying what a fun event it was. Aaron Williams, Freddy, and Mario all seemed to really love it.
marauderswr80 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Posted June 4, 2012 I did have a ton of fun!! What i like best was asking players questions, like....i asked Eric Wood how his leg was he said its going great! I asked TJ Graham, about the season and his route running, i talked to Stephon Gilmore about playing against AJ Green....i got to see first hand if Mario Williams was 300 lbs....if he is that weight its pure muscle!!! Its just nice to ask the players the question instead if this board!
eball Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Sounds awesome. It's a lot easier to root for the laundry when the guys wearing it seem to be salt-of-the-earth type fellas. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Just Jack Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Based on my experience having worked at some of the Bills community events, the ones that were more kid based, were the more fun ones. The players really seemed to enjoy themselves a lot more at those.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Did you guys get in the video? http://www.buffalobills.com/media-center/videos/Play-60-Ultimate-Field-Day-for-Kids/6fda4ed3-a6ba-4984-95ec-a58b09e18acd#?id=6fda4ed3-a6ba-4984-95ec-a58b09e18acd&channelName=Recent
DDD Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Thank you for sharing your experience. It's nice to see the players giving back to the community that supports them, and allows us fans to see the players as actual people.
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Awesome thing to do with your kid man. Congrats. How did the turf feel?
BuffaloBillsSD Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Stephon Gilmore.....i hope you have a great season!!! This guy is awesome to talk to!!!! Very well rounded young man!!! Thank you for the autographs and pics!!! Thank you for sharing this about Gilmore, I think he was unfairly judged at the draft for not looking excited enough.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Thank you for sharing this about Gilmore, I think he was unfairly judged at the draft for not looking excited enough. Yes. That was ridiculous.
