Guffalo Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I am stunned that he is only 10 years older than me, is that a missprint?

Saxum Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 He has I am sure many more miles on him. Good article and I wonder what percentage of players do these type of camps or at least participate in other players' camps. You would think Jerome Bettis, Gilbert Brown and Pepper Johnson would be glad to participate in his camp as instructors.
hondo in seattle Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 Hmm. I'm guessing the lack of interest in this thread stems from a lack of interest in 70s era players. Reggie was a HOF talent and a class act to boot but the younger Bills fans don't know him.
Augie Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Or you're just older than you think. My wife keeps telling me that! Hmm. I'm guessing the lack of interest in this thread stems from a lack of interest in 70s era players. Reggie was a HOF talent and a class act to boot but the younger Bills fans don't know him. I used to live around the corner from OJ (for better, or for worse) and used to see him with Reggie and some of the guys out front on nights after games. We thought it was odd that they'd hang out in front so much, but what do I know about how '70's NFL players chill after a game? There were never a ton of cars, but a solid crowd. That was a great line and Reggie was a big piece!
TheWei44 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Hey Augie, we lived around the corner from him too. Talking about when he lived in Chapel Woods?
Augie Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Hey Augie, we lived around the corner from him too. Talking about when he lived in Chapel Woods? Yep, lived in Chapel Woods for a few years before I graduated from St Joes in '77 and went off to college. Still drive though there when I get back to town. That's a rare thing, but I'm hoping for a home game this year. Already have my seats for the Titans game. Did you see the groups out front? Not every game, but pretty regular.

TheWei44 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 We lived on Crown Pt Ln, so we were close but not close enough to see the crowds on a regular basis. I do remember one year they ran out of candy on Halloween and were giving out signed autographs which was pretty cool. We also asked him to sign a football and he said not only will he sign it, but he'll bring it in for the whole team to sign. I still have that football but of course it is very tainted nowadays!
hondo in seattle Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 I suppose if someone starts a Kyle Williams thread 40 years from now, no one will care. I know I won't since my ashes will be floating around the Pacific Ocean someplace.
