BillsShredder83 Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Man I dunno. Sounds good but looks sketchy. You'd think itd go up on the Bills site to lead the story Edited January 19, 2021 by BillsShredder83
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted January 19, 2021 Author Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) The more I think about it the sketchier I think it looks too. I'm gonna ping the Bills to see if he's legit. Edited January 19, 2021 by JÂy RÛßeÒ 1 1
T&C Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Como lake isn't even a lake, its more like a big pond. Had a lot of good times at that park though, great sledding hill.

DrDawkinstein Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Not surprised scammers are starting to try to take advantage of the Mafia. Side note: Did the Jackson donation thing seem... "forced" to anyone else? Almost like folks started doing it just to keep up some appearance of an ESPN story? Didn't seem to fit with the way the other, more organic, donation drives have gone.

I lived maybe 2 miles from it and my grandparents lived right across the street from it... a lot of partying went on in the field/woods by the lighthouse too. Speaking of... why a lighthouse on a big pond lol. 1
