At least 2 - 4 times a season. Brain like, "Hey Heitz, remember those?" Yup, I do... Running naked through fields of cane... 1 2

MTBill Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) And - for posterity.... Ye olde D&C Hyperbills.... Oldest page I could find on that in the Wayback. Complete with a discussion of HYPERBILLS TAILGATE.... (their caps).... Oh - and I forgot to say it again in this post, when I meant to. Happy Birthday to TSW! and A huge thanks to SDS for keeping the lights lit. I'm sure it hasn't always been easy. Edited January 22, 2018 by MTBill

KD in CA Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I recall don_of_manhattan was all over the board in those early years. Good Stuff
Livinginthepast Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Wow this post is awesome!! Totally takes me back to the old internet of the 90s!! I was on the Alt. Bills usenet group for a while, I think until Outlook eventually stopped using a newsreader?? Seems so archaic now! AS for the first post? Trading up for Ryan Leaf!!!! LOL I forgot what a highly touted prospect he was before the draft. He was cant miss. Flutie was signed just before the launch of TBD? I can actually remember that brief honeymoon where it was just Flutie? Am I remembering that right? Johnson arrived through trade in February and the circus began. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!!

That’s a serious skill. Thanks!

Mr. WEO Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 This board is incredible! For me, it's like crack cocaine!! It's all so good, addicting. Great stuff.

Then later on AOL Yeah, I remember wife and I walking thru a mall and there was a Prodigy kiosk. We signed up right away. Not long before I was hooked. Sports updates were in text, like "Smith hits home run"
boyst Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 It's amazing how much I forgot. But, the dark days for me of 2001-2006 I really blocked a lot out things it. This board has been a constant. And even during my absence I visited often when I could not login
Mango Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I love this place! Also thank you Al Gore for inventing the internet so that TBD could be a thing!
The BLUES Brothers Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 So many times a day I'll come here to get Info, Insight and Insanity (the kind that gets helps me laugh ;-) ~ Happy Birthday and next year you can legally drink in NYS. Go Bills!
Just Jack Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Wish there was a way to search it, I'm curious what my first post was.
SDS Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Note the extensive QA I did back then... I went live after two test posts (my first official post was post #3). ? 1

Thanks for keeping up. The new platform was a pretty easy adjustment, and a nice upgrade. Edited January 23, 2018 by Augie

Crack is so outdated. Get with it. Try heroin with a mixture of fentanyl. You'll get a kick out of it. It'll also make you more mellow when you duel with Doc.
