WhoTom Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 34 minutes ago, LBSeeBallLBGetBall said: When Kevin Everett walked back onto to the field for the first time after his injury. Ditto. Football is entertainment; nothing about the sport makes me cry. But after watching a man lie still for 20 minutes, be carted away in an ambulance, and be told that if he survives, he's likely to be paralyzed for life ... and then to see him walk back onto the field where the injury occurred - THAT put a lump in my throat. 1
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 Music City Travesty - First time I ever cried at a sporting event. Kevin Everett walking onto the field a few weeks after he was told he would never walk again. When Ralph passed. The "Biggest comeback since the Comeback" (as John Murphy put it) against the Patriots* in 2011. Playoffs this year.
4_kidd_4 Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 Nah. Prob shed a tear if we took it all, but that would be for all the dedicated fam and friends that aren’t here anymore to enjoy it.
I'm Spartacus Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 The day they hired Hank Bullough as head coach.

whatdrought Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 Don't know if I actually cried, but watching Jimbos HOF was pretty emotional (coming from a guy who was too young to watch him play even). Also, the videos of the lockeroom this year after the miami game. And the KW TD was pretty awe-inspiring but no tears. 1
Irv Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 I think it was the 4th. No wait. It was the fifth time I got banned on BBMB. 1

Same here. The heartbreaking games don't make me cry, they just put me in a furious rage. The Jim Kelly Football Life when he and Jill are talking about Hunter, that got me.

corta765 Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 Cry: -98 playoff loss to Dolphins. I was 10 first real Bills pain I remember -2002 home opener loss to Jets. Really was coming into my own as a fan and it was such a great game to lose that way -2010 Steelers loss Stevie drop. My wife and I hate the Steelers more then any other team and I actually jumped up celebrating the moment he caught it or so I thought. And then it wasn't to be. That season sucked and that killed badly because it just reinforced every negative stereotype we lived with as Bills fans at the time. 2011- Patriots win. Cried and shot fireworks off on my parents lawn. -2014 Pegula buys the Bills press conference. I still have the pictures on my phone of the TV on ESPN saying it was official. Our team was safe. -2018 New Years Day sat in bed with my wife that morning for probably 2 hrs just listening to WGR and both of us were crying tears of joy that the drought was dead. Probably the funnest week as a Bills fan I've had given I'm 30 and missed the glory days a little. Still tear up thinking of it soo awesome still 1990 Yearbook video on VHS. It was my grandpa's and I always watched it at his house growing up. Still watch it once a year before the season starts to get fired up and shed a tear for him. Anger/You Gotta Be Kidding Me: 99- Music City Miracle- nothing needs to be said 2007- Dallas. Bet my college swim coach an easy practice the next day if the Bills won. He gave me a 14 point spread he was that confident. I hated every minute of that practice even though I won that bet he let me know who won routinely. 2009- at Patriots Mckelvin fumble. As close as I've ever been to throwing a TV out a window and I wasn't even mad someone vandalized his lawn at the time. (In retrospect not cool) 2013- Kansas City home. Jeff Tuel pisses away the game in one throw. 2014- at Houston. EJ Manuel succeeds in pick 6ing a game we should've won. 2014- Kansas City home. McKelvin and Bryce Brown blow a game we should've won that cost us the playoffs. I had to work on my train layout for 3 hours to calm down. 2015- Jacksonville in England- That game finished off any belief I had in Rex and that season being different. Came home and took down all my Bills decorations season was over. 2016- Miami at home. X-Mas eve was ruined for an hour as everyone had to cool off after Rex Ryan punted on 4th down in a game he couldn't lose or tie. 2017- NYJ TNF game. Expected the night to be the first time I see the Bills at 6-2 and celebrate us finally being "for real". Instead they collapse like every team that started hot before crystallizing our worst insecurities and causing me to break my iPhone with a Gronk spike in a bar. Note the anger rose as the team actually got slightly more competitive the last few years dam expectations lol 1

Walking through the concourse, talking **** to all the Texans fans. Didn't even make it back to my seat before JJ Watt ran the ball back. And this city throws a tizzy everytime they see the man's face. So you can imagine the crowd after that. 1
Logic Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) Kyle Williams' TD run against the Dolphins instantly had me choked up and shedding a few tears. How could you not? After the fact, watching all the celebration videos -- with the video of Kyle's facial expressions as Boyd is scoring for the Bengals topping the list -- got the tears flowing again. Lastly, the "end of the drought" video that the Bills put together was the capper. Everything about the end of the drought and what it meant to Kyle and the team and the fans will be lodged in my memories forever. My favorite moments of Bills fandom (I was too young to properly remember the "glory years"). Edited May 24, 2018 by Logic 3
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 Oh, also when we beat the Packers a few years back. But I was highly inebriated, so I don't count that one. Just now, Gugny said: When I found out Tyrod got traded. I believe this.
Poleshifter Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 The day it was confirmed that the Pegulas had successfully purchased the team. That got me choked up a lot. 2
707BillsFan Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 First time I believe....1980, I was all of 12, playoff game vs the Chargers (first time in playoffs in my recognizable lifetime). Bills lead the whole game, until Fouts tossed long TD late in the game for the SD win. Then I learned how tough it would be being Bills fan. Seeing the fan reaction this past year too, I shed a tear. Who didn't? There were probably a tear shed at other points too, but those stick out. 1

I never actually expected that it would make me respond quite the way that it did. Having feelings of mourning a perfect stranger is a very surreal experience. Perhaps it wasn't so much his death but the uncertainty that may have followed. Sport seldom makes me cry, good or bad. It's mainly anger with the teams that I support Me too. I don't cry, I get enraged, then depressed. Which is probably worse. I just HATE losing.
