He wasn't even a Bills fan. He was a madden player who entered the tournament because he probably thought he stood a good chance of winning it and most of the better competitors were trying to win better teams' tournaments. by winning the bills team series he could go on to the elimination tournament against other NFL team representatives. He made it through one round, I believe. He was, by all accounts, a Ravens fan. Edited September 2, 2018 by dollars 2 donuts 1

Wow, Raoul...damn, brother. You are very correct. What times we live in. Two families without sons and brothers and one family without a husband or dad...one week.

Unfortunately when that story broke a lot of people on the internet were connecting him to the Bills. It's stupid but it's reality. Just like how I don't feel McVeigh should be connected to the Bills in any way but some idiots out there will. That article was a joke.
DC Tom Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 6 hours ago, Madbillsfan said: We didn't tear down the goalposts after beating Miami. I remember the fans did one year. And carried the goal post hand-over-hand to the upper deck, and threw it at the Miami team bus.
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 Or maybe he subscribed to K. Davis' swirling helicopter theory and blames the Federal govt for the Giants loss? That makes more sense than losing a grand ... https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2607652-wide-right-25-years-later-a-super-bowl-so-much-larger-than-just-scott-norwood I also cannot believe that Kevin Bacon isn't mixed up in this somehow. Apparently he is within six degrees of separation from Scotty Norwood, McVeigh, David Koresh, and even Tom Cruise.
Cmdjr85 Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 read the book by stepehen jones others unkown (mcveighs lawyer) its a great read. Really brings light on the fact he was railroaded and took it
Sweats Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 Why does it seem that every psychotic is a Bills fan?......or is it that every Bills fan is a psychotic? Yeah.....I’ll just leave this here and slowly back out.

Honestly, BP, I believe I got a bit of that vibe from you, that you were just stating the national talking points. Please forgive me if it appears like I was gaining up on you. I didn't mean to do so. I was more so stepping on my soap box, for the same reason as your original post...I hate the narrative. Whether you, or anyone, knows or doesn't know, I just keep bringing the truth up about the guy. Obviously, I completely agree with you on your point above.

Another Fan Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 Well the author of that piece writes for New York Times Magazine which is extremely well balanced and non biased if it’s anything like the newspaper. Oh wait..... 1
benderbender Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 7 hours ago, Beach said: Bills are always to blame... First off, that terrible meme is factually inaccurate. Nicole met OJ in California at the Beverly Hills Daisy Club. And they started dating when OJ was playing for the 49ers, not the Bills. I assume this has been hashed out in a previous thread a long time ago. Secondly, how any English speaker can make it through the first sentence without a aneurism is beyond me. How does one miss a bad pass? Shouldn’t all bad passes be missed? And if it was a bad pass, why would it have been for a touchdown? It being a bad pass would preclude it from being a touchdown, right? Or wouldn’t every pass be for a touchdown, since that’s the goal?
NeckMeat182 Posted September 2, 2018 Author Posted September 2, 2018 Fox news junkies out in full force, yikes. We get it news is fake yada yada.
Arkady Renko Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Made me think of Thailog. Not that what he did was triggered by being a Bills fan.
COTC Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Crazy people get triggered by the dumbest things.
Ol Dirty B Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 8 hours ago, Bob Chandler's Hands said: People who knew McVeigh in High School (whom I know well) tell me that he fundamentally changed after serving in the military. I tend to think his experiences there, you know, killing people and trying not to get killed, may have influenced his psyche more than the Bills. They say that in the article.

Just Jack Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Quote I am not saying that Timothy McVeigh bombed Oklahoma City in 1995 because the Buffalo Bills lost four Super Bowls in a row. Well I'm glad he cleared that up in the article.
4_kidd_4 Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 The piece is just illustrating how big the Bills were locally at the time, and how they were a backdrop to a lot of people’s lives. One of those people happened to be McVeigh. I thought it drew an interesting dichotomy between his military service, and the Super Bowl, especially XXV. We’re watching Whitney Houston, USA “worship” and Crystal Pepsi commercials and this guy is watching heads explode and dogs eating corpses. This article doesn’t necessarily make me sympathize with McVeigh, but perhaps gives a better understanding to how his experiences shaped his actions. Again, the Bills were just the backdrop.
SteveFreeman22 Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Came accross this article and found it quite interesting. Did not realize McVeigh was a Bills super fan. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/09/02/how-football-fed-timothy-mcveighs-despair-219625 Maybe he went over the edge because he was a worthless piece of **** with !@#$ed up ideas in his head.
