Buffalo716 Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) I thought this would be a good lighthearted thread that could potentially be good... who is the most famous Bills fan you ever met and how did it happen? Me: I was at the Bills home opener about 3-4 years ago and I’m stumbling up the street and I look up and who do I see?!? Mother effing Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore !! ?? I gave him a good shooooter! Followed by a Damn you people , go back to your shanties! he liked that ? Edited November 14, 2018 by Buffalo716 1 4
keepthefaith Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) Well since I met him after his football career was over and he's definitely a Bills fan, Don Beebe. He runs a top notch football camp in our area and he and his staff coached one of my sons for 4 years. Spoke to him on a few occasions and since my wife and I had season tickets while he played in Buffalo, we had some things to talk about. Terrific guy and a terrific coach. He works pretty closely with a lot of the kids. Edited November 14, 2018 by keepthefaith 2

Augie Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 I can only think of two famous Bills fans. I’ve seen one in person (he’s been to 400 straight games, so I’m not alone there). Players are famous, fans get drunk and fall off the railing from the upper deck to be famous (in the most horrible way). 1

Shooter McGavin, Chris Berman, Chad michale Murray ?

I’m a Xavier basketball fan (even after losing to Wisconsin with a young team tonight), and it was very cool to have Bill Murray’s son as an assistant coach the last few years. Bill was always in the stands, with the hat or the shirt, attending March Madness around the country. No idea who counts for the Bills, other than some former Bills.

Well I would say Chris Berman is a sports celebrity who is a fan Chad Michale Murray is a Hollywood actor who goes to games same with Shooter McGavin like I said. Wolf Blitzer If he counts lol William Fichtner 1

Aussie Joe Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 I noticed a guy in the elevator ( we call them lifts) yesterday of my office building in Sydney wearing a Bills lanyard ( we call them something you wear around your neck to hold an ID pass) and I said to him... "don't tell me you are a Bills fan?"... He said yes and how happy he was that they beat the Jets and I said I thought I was the only one that works for this Company that supports them.... It was a special moment before I got out at the 10th floor... 4 1

dlonce Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 Leon Spinx and Rick James ,beotch. Obviously, James was a Bills fan and surprisingly so was Leon. Sat next to them In the stands behind Bills bench,during the Chuck Knox era. Yes they were in the stands for the experience. Those were great season tickets. We bought each other beers. They had some big old body guards around them. Both had fur coats on. Star struck fans bothered the hell out of them. That’s one thing that doesn’t impress me, being in the public eye. 2

IDBillzFan Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 I ran into a guy and his girlfriend at an airport years ago while wearing a Bills jersey. He said he was a big Bills fan after hanging out with Kelly and other Bills at Kelly's house after a game. Turned out to be the leader of a band called Whitesnake. His girlfriend took my card and sent me a letter with photos of him and Kelly, Reed, Bruce. Still not sure who Whitesnake was, but they were famous, dammit. 3
