Expand read the article Brett Fitzgerald, who first posted the idea on Facebook, originally had the idea to donate in $13 to Patrick Mahomes’ foundation, but after hearing from a friend that Bills Mafia usually donates to other team’s charities, he decided to change it to Oishei Children’s Hospital. He looked online and found out the hospital was the charity of choice for Josh Allen. He told News 4 in retrospect, he wish he had changed the donation amount to $17, so it didn’t seem like a jab. And as it turns out, Oishei was the perfect place to give to for the guy who started it all. Brett Fitzgerald has a son who has autism and his family cares deeply for their local children’s hospital. He said Bills Mafia should feel honored they’ve started such an incredible trend of giving. “The credit goes to Bills Mafia,” he said. “I’m just some guy who put something on the internet.” damn...what an ass that guy is.... < Sarcasm 1 1 Quote

Some of my Bills fan friends think KC/Mahomes will be an obstacle that really holds us back. But I see it as a rivalry that we'll enjoy for many years. I could see us matching up against them in the playoffs many times, as I'm sure many here can. I love that. After years in the wilderness, we're now one of the headliners. We'll get our share against that team, and when all is said & done, it could go down as one of the NFL's great rivalries. Expand Absolutely! We can def overtake. Shoot , we did overtake them minus 13 seconds, 49 yards fg and a coin toss we would be 2-0 against them this year.. 1 Quote

By donating $13 to rub in the win instead of $17 to honor Josh, the snark is reducing the amount given by almost 25%. Edited January 26, 2022 by Motorin' 2 Quote
