Ronnie Harmon

 

Conrad Dobler... was amusing to 10 year old me, but thinking now about penalties at bad times gives me heart burn

Ronnie Harmon is in a league of his own with on field and (off field) locker room stuff. He may be most reviled for both. The story goes he was passing a football around to have his teammates sign it, but would only allow black players to sign it, and didn't allow Andre to sign it because he is half white.

Wow, I hope this is exaggerated or just not true. In any case Harmon is a good one.

 

As far as this board goes, I don't think I've seen anyone hated on as much as Maybin was. It continued even after he wasn't even on the team anymore.

Not that I necessarily agree, but Lonnie Johnson seems to hold a special (dark) place in the hearts of many Bills fans... EJ Manuel too!

Ronnie Harmon here too. That drop in the Browns game will never go away. Billy Joe Holbert (sp), who didn't bother reading the playbook.

 

 

Billy Joe not knowing the playbook was classic

 

 

 

I still kind of hate Mike Williams (the tackle) for busting out so badly.

 

I also hate JP Losman because I look at him as costing us Roethlisberger (not using that first to move up to get Ben), Demarcus Ware (taken with the traded pick) and Aaron Rodgers (went after our pick). Losman might be my most hated Bill of the last 2 decades, just because I was soo sold on Roethlisberger (and turned out right) and what we lost by making that move.

Where is he now? (he asked to the internet in general)

Last I read he was the founding father and sole member of the Koo Klux Klan, which wear all black robes and hoods.

"That same year, Bills running back Ronnie Harmon asked black teammates to autograph a game ball. When the ball was handed to wide receiver Andre Reed, the son of a white mother and a black father, Harmon pulled the ball away before Reed could sign."

Since it is the off-season, and we all get bored:

 

If you haven't read Fred Smerlas' book "By A Nose" it is about as insightful read you will find on the 80's Bills. I am not a huge Fred Smerlas fan (the guy..he was a great player) but this is a juicy read...there are not a lot of great Bills books out there that give you gossipy kind of stuff...he mentions the Harmon incident that you refer too...and a bunch of other stuff. Lots of great stories about the Knox era, as well as the early days of Jim Kelly, Marv Levy (who he had an ax to grind with)...good read!

I remain convinced he threw the 1986 Rose Bowl.
