John Gianelli Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 On a serious note, there is a test called ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) which assesses the trauma a child experiences before 18 years of age. The higher the score, the more likely the child will use drugs, end up in jail, etc. A sample questions is: While you were growing up, during your first 18 years of life: 1. Did a parent or other adult in the household often or very often… Swear at you, insult you, put you down, or humiliate you? or Act in a way that made you afraid that you might be physically hurt? Yes No If yes enter 1 ________ (the entire test is at http://acestudy.org/...h.127143712.pdf) On a lighter note, what would a Bills Fan ACE assessment tool look like? I would start with: While you were growing up, during your first 18 years of life: 1. Did you have to experience the Dolphins beating the Bills for the entire decade of the 1970s? Yes No If yes enter 1 ________ 2. Did you see any of Super Bowls XXV - XXVIII? Yes No If yes enter 1 _________ 3. Did you see any games that Kay Stephenson or Hank Bullough coached? Yes No IF yes enter 1 __________ I suppose we could do a Sabres version too, but that would be for another board.

cmjoyce113 Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Did you watch the illegal forward pass that knocked the Bills out of the playoffs and springboarded the Titans to the Super Bowl? Have you bought in every year after the above question just to be disappointed?

I_want_2_BILL_Lieve Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Do Bills off season moves - such as possible free agent acquisitions and draft status - excite you more than actual games played in November and December.
