Chandler#81 Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 How was he available late in ‘89? IMO, he solidified his Gold Jacket playing along side Andre 1

BuffaloRush Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 This Andy Provin character is the best. Love his Youtube channel 2
stevewin Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 In the late 90s I lived across from a golf course that hosted a celeb tourn for the Jimmy V Foundation. Late in the day I noticed that James Lofton was in a group, and decided (inexplicably) to run home and get a camera to get a picture with him. The temp was over 90 degrees, and I soon realized the distance was much longer from that hole than I estimated. By the time I made it back I was soaked in sweat and could barely breathe. As I approached Lofton I'll never forget the alarmed look on his face as this crazy sweaty person with heaving breathing approached him. It got even worse when I tried to blurt out some incomprehensible ImabillsfanIusedtowatchyouatrichstadiumthoseweresomegreatdaysGoBills blather. He was very nice though and took the picture - to this day I'm not sure if he thought I was a slow adult. 3

Mark Vader Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 No doubt his best years were with the Packers. He then had one season with the Raiders, who then chose not to keep him. Some thought he was finished. Then the Bills picked him up and he gave us some exciting seasons. Amazing how good of a deep threat he still was.
Seanbillsfan2206 Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 I was so spoiled as a kid getting to see these great teams from 1988- 1995. My girlfriend wondered why I shed tears when Cincinnati scored that miraculous touchdown to get us in the playoffs. As a child I took these great teams for granted. A lot of **** teams took the field in Buffalo for many years following

But, Personally, I don’t think he makes it to Canton off just his Green Bay years. I recall he got in some trouble there and I think they sent him ‘Packing’. His career definitely got a second wind with the Bills!
