Seanbillsfan2206 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) I was bored and looking up Bills stuff online when I discovered an old Bills player whom I had never heard of before but apparently he’s a “Bills legend.” Ron McDole played DE for the Bills from 1963 to 1970 and was named to the All-Time All-AFL second team. He also is the all time NFL leader in interceptions for a defensive lineman with 12. He currently ranks 44th all time in games played. The more you know....

Green Lightning Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 After his Bills career George Allen signed him for the "the future is now,," Washington Redskins. There he had some more really productive years. The guy was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Bills had a lot of great D Linemen in the 60's. Ron McDole was my favorite. There use to be a supermarket in Buffalo called Bells, I had a 8x10 picture of him that they gave away. It was like this one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwight in philly Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 wasnt fun watching Mcdole play with the Redskins , by then the Bills were in the late 60's early 70's suck period. but Mcdole was thriving with the Redskins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearNorth Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Disagree, Sestak was the man, if his knees hadn't gone south, would have been one of the first AFL players in Canton. You couldn't run inside on Buffalo in the mid 60's 17 straight games without a rushing touchdown. McDole had a long and distinguished career, but he was far from the best on the Bills D-Line in the championship years. The D-Lineman then were the size of today's LB's.

What are you disagreeing with? No one above said he was the best Bills DL, although Colorado said he was his favorite. Sadly I don’t remember any of them. I was born in ‘60, didn’t follow football until I was around 8, and even then only remember offensive players until years later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked at Dubel's Bells on the Como Mall property in the late 70's.I remember Sunoco gas stations had stamps that they gave out..Bells did the same with the NHL. I believe this photo was taken on the Niagara University grounds during camp? But the building in the background looks like Trico?

Every other part of the team's existence has been a suck period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Here's a bit of Ron McDole trivia. He had a migraine problem. He used to get some kind of physiological warning about five minutes before a migraine, but it was a serious issue. Great player. Not Sestak, but really good.
