This is awesome - congrats to Chris Spielman

[Florida Bills Fanatic]

Well deserved for a great player and an even better human being.  He dealt with some tragedy in his life but never lost his way.  He was always one of my favorites.  He always seemed to be good for at least one epic hit in every game.

Does anyone recall how we acquired Spielman?  He was NOT washed up when he was on the Bills, but then he got hurt and I think that was about it.

I think he signed as FA. he came back with the Browns in ‘99 but had to retire it seemed almost immediately after hurting his neck again.

This was amazing!  A well deserved honor for an outstanding player and person.  Loved this

[machine gun kelly]

Loved this guy.  He was one of my favorites on the best defense the Bills ever fielded in 62 years, and not even close.

and so on.  They were daunting.  Too bad we didn’t have an offense even close to complimenting the D.

Love Chris Spielman.

 

My favorite story about him is that he used to go up and down stairs sideways - as part of normal routine - to work on his lateral mobility.

Hell, as I get older, I do that to keep both hands on the railing.

Thanks for posting. I always liked Spielman. I wish he played his whole career as a Bill

Nice, nice, nice.  Thanks for posting this.

Congrats Chris... frankly he still looks like he is in game shape.

Love that guy.  Class A great human being and insanely tough and talented LB...  only a Bill for a relatively short time, but so memorable.

Kick the tires? 😉

 

But seriously, I love the way they "told" him the news. They're such a football-inept organization, but at least they have class.

Thanks for digging that up.  I remember Kelce as never looking back at his time in Detroit.  He was 100% a Bill, and committed to the success of the team.

 

Really a great player and a great man.

[Walking Tall]

The guy bled pigskin.

So dusty in here

Yeah, the wife's cutting onions.

 

Really a great player.

[BigDingus]

But what are his political stances?

 

I need to know before I can express positive or negative emotions about this. 😉
