stevewin Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Talking Proud! Loved those early 80s teams - the playoff loss the year before to SD with Fergy on one leg was so disappointing
BuffaloBillies Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 At the 46 minute mark, they flashed to this hanging on the wall. WTF? Was something going on with gas bills those days, or is that just a really lame sign that someone spent a lot time putting together. 1

K-9 Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Jerry Butler was so good. Just a damned shame he got hurt and had his career cut short. 4
Haslett_Stomp Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) I sure miss the old intro. Makes you realize how lame the current intro is (if you didn't already know). Edited May 27, 2020 by Haslett_Stomp 1 1
Haslett_Stomp Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 I was wondering how long it would take Ken Jones to be called for holding... it didn't take long! 2

Gas prices at the pump rose slowly over many years until the 1970's when they really started to rise. But in 1980/81 they had an unprecedented spike. There was a lot of unrest in the Middle East, OPEC actions, etc. There were even US citizens held as hostages in Iran, if you ever heard of that event. Anyway, gas prices were a huge topic then. So this sign was topical albeit corny. 5

I was only 10 at the time, so didn't really matter to me, I guess, back then.

Cut into the late night Mighty money, but good times nonetheless. 1 1
Charles Romes Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Cosell’s pregame pump-up was legendary. It has never been approached. 2 1
Rico Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Since it's been a few days now, let me just say ***** YOU SHULA. 2

Wacka Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 For you youngsters, gas was cheaper in Canada, so you would have fumes in the tank and cross the Peace Bridge to fill up.

We are missing an O” I think this was the Rob Johnson years when our O was disgustingly bad. 1

LB48 Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Thank you for sharing this! Can you or anyone find a video of the Bills home game vs. Kansas City from 1973???? OJ went over 1000 yards at the mid-point of the season. It was an ABC Monday night game. It has apparently 'vanished' from the archives!!!!!
