It sucks it has come to this.....I was going to a place where they were practicing social distancing and masks were worn and it was cool. Lately it is the wild west now in FL. Just a bummer.....I now watch at home and make my own wings....I'm getting pretty proficient at it so there is a silver lining I guess! GO BILLS!!!!!

Draconator Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 I'm in Tahoe Vista, CA (Northern edge of Lake Tahoe) and the Wi-Fi of the Airbnb I'm in is literally not allowing me to open this! Oh well. We leave tomorrow for further adventures so I'll read it then. Great thing to see!
Ned Flanders Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 I've lived in the DC area 36 years now, and I can honestly say, that's the most accurate portrayal of Bills Mafia written by someone outside WNY. Nice job. 1

Great thing to see! heres a taste It had been 27 years since Ken Johnson watched a Buffalo Bills game at his Rochester, N.Y., home before this season, when the coronavirus pandemic closed Bills Stadium to fans and Lot 2, Abbott Road, Hammer’s Lot and all the other Orchard Park landmarks fell strikingly quiet on fall Sundays. He favors complete focus on Bills games, and so Johnson retreated to the third-floor attic, alone, while his wife and kids watched downstairs. He placed a television on a dresser, eye-height, and paced around the room. The City of Good Neighbors’ In 2010, Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson dropped a game-winning touchdown pass and mourned afterward by asking God, in a tweet, why He had let him down. A day later, ESPN reporter Adam Schefter retweeted Johnson’s plea. Del Reid, like many of his online Bills fan brethren, took offense at Schefter for what they perceived as piling on and took up for Johnson. The teasing led Schefter to block Reid and others. Jokingly leaning into the online villainy, Reid coined a moniker: They were the #BillsMafia. 1
