dwight in philly Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Looking at that lineup of former Bills attending.. i hope im wrong.. but i think a few have passed away.
TheyCallMeAndy Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 I feel like Lorenzo Alexander paved the way for AJ Epenesa’s career path.

That would be a pretty big blunder coming from the Bills website. Pretty sure they're all still alive.

MiltonWaddams Posted September 25, 2021 Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) Oddly enough one of my friends dropped by my office with a team photo of the 1995 Bills. One signature- Mark Maddox. Edited September 25, 2021 by MiltonWaddams

My sister used to baby sit their kids (and Bob Kaufman’s kid) and I would trade football cards with Butch’s son. This was probably when I was in 4th or 5th grade. I used to think “this isn’t fair, you actually know these people.!” I remember being with my sister baby sitting while we watched the game on TV at their place. More than a half century later, I remember that. Yeah….. what makes an impression in a kid’s life. Rosebud….. I also had a bit of a faux pas with Butch once. My mother managed the place where we all lived and he came by one day. He was at the door with my dad and extremely pleasant and very well dressed in a nice suit. Even as a little kid I noticed this. I had just seen or heard some stuff about if you put equal pressure around an egg, it would/could not break. Apparently my pressure was not perfectly equal, and my egg sprayed all over his lovely suit. OOPS! He never flinched and to this day I’m surprised that both Butch and my father allowed me to survive! 😂 It’s fighting for a spot on my Mount Rushmore of nightmares, but I ain’t dead yet so it’s probably a long shot. I may amaze myself! PS - AMAZING football player! If you are too young to know and have any interest, do a little research. Eras are different, but he is arguably our best ever CB. .

Niagara Bill Posted September 25, 2021 Posted September 25, 2021 If Lo Alexander is a legend then I want the greatest punt catcher of all time to be invited. 3 cheers for Chris Watson....
Mr. WEO Posted September 25, 2021 Posted September 25, 2021 Bills use the term "Legend" pretty loosely.........
