I watched the game in Cape Town, thousands of miles away, and I just couldn't get into it the way I normally do. When they went down in the second half I couldn't get myself that worked up about whether they would lose or win. And I NEVER feel like that. Happy they won, and there were some fun plays, but I can't remember ever feeling so foggy about what was actually a pretty good game, let alone the home opener for an undefeated Bills team. Strange energy. I thought the energy at the stadium was great! Although, I was pretty buzzed, so it may have just been that
mrags Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 I know I’ll get slapped for this, BUT..... who cares about the stupid ketchup and mustard show?!? I mean it’s cool to watch like once a year because it’s been classic in the past. But in actuality, once you’ve seen it once, you’ve seen it. It always ends the same way. It’s usually the same fat drunk idiots on top of the van doing the squirting. Usually with some random slut they promised they would allow them to do some squirting, as long as they.... did some squirting the night before. Its kind of old isn’t it? The “Bills Mafia” started out kind of cool and made you feel good to be a fan of the team, and now it’s just a embarrassing. At least most of the time. 1 3
Kelly the Dog Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 I love Pinto Ron, just an undeniable amazing guy and fan. I always thought the condiments thing was stupid. 2 2
Big Turk Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Is this like "Peanut Butter and Jelly... Thats what i like in my belly..."?
Augie Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Does anyone else like the idea of merging the ketchup and mustard thread with the Pats fans are lurking thread? I find a certain appeal there! 1 1
BillsPride12 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 It's not just you. I'm not a regular in the Hammer lot but I try to stop by a few times a season for some bowling ball shots and to catch the Ketchup and Mustard thing once in awhile. But they really dragged on the pre ceremony yesterday and a lot of people in the crowd were getting restless and starting to complain. I agree that I think the Ketchup and Mustard thing is starting to jump the shark. With that said nothing but love and respect for the Pinto Man's tailgate party though.

Repeated ritual like that would take fun out of the TG for me.............maybe if Kenny were doing a polynesian ceremonial dance or something that the whole crowd could do instead of just getting splooged on with condiments it wouldn't require as much alcohol to enjoy for the 200th time. 1 hour ago, Kelly the Dog said: I love Pinto Ron, just an undeniable amazing guy and fan.

We were parked one row away from them, directly across at Pole 5 for years so we saw it every week.........and we used to throw the unconsumed donuts or burger rolls at the people spraying the ketchup on the roof. Nothing that would hurt anyone(some others would throw snowballs) but it added some degree of difficulty to the ceremony. Somebody got a lucky shot and hit Kim in the forehead with a donut hole and afterward she came over and picked up a small stone and threw it at me because she was already mad at me for an unrelated Kimmy prank and assumed I'd done it.........I had my back turned talking to Cigar Mark and there was a "tink" sound and Mark was like......."I think something hit my eyeglass lens". Dat girl be crazy.? My best ceremony related story really. Kenny used to like to wander around the lot a bit and talk to people I hope he has time to do it still. 1
Just Jack Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Maybe if they went back to the original intent of the ceremony, to get ketchup on the burger without hitting Ken. I’d go watch again for that.

Except i’ve noticed even away games, the Backers groups promote their tailgate by saying Ken will be there. I’m more curious if he’s starting to consider when to end his streak. I don’t think he can do this till his death. At what point will he say “that’s it”? A certain number of games? Or end of a particular season? After our SB win? Or just wake up someday and think “I’m not going today”

Now kids are gone, i am thinking of maybe doing that again next year...and that seems daunting! One freaking year! no idea how he does it 1

Strange energy. I'm an old fan and I had the same feelings? It seems the NFL has become a different experience. For me, too much nonsense off the field and way too much money being made off loyal fans who just want to see a competitive game.

Its tradition, plus its always fun to see whar former players show up. If you dont like it maybe just don't watch? Its easily avoidable. 1
MJS Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Can someone explain to me what he does after the strange ceremony? He gets cleaned up afterward, right?

Even had some "Mafia" members pissed Pancho got a special ceremony.
