Golden*Wheels Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Goddamn a lot of you take football too serious. The total amount and the kids is what matters. This is one of the few times you actually need to just be Helen Lovejoy, and it isn't ironic or making a point. 2 2 Quote

We proceed through the (video) meeting agenda, then get ready to sign off, and he says "Oh I have one more thing to show you". He then goes off camera, grabs a ridiculously-sized commemorative Chiefs Super Bowl ring and sticks it into his camera. I didn't know what to say but managed one more gracious remark before signing off. Very surprised that someone of his stature would go to that next level. Maybe I'm just too sensitive or expecting too much class from a victorious fan base. I'd like to think I'd never go there if I ever got the chance. I think that guy was a schmuck with little grace or class. Probably thought he was being "funny" or he may enjoy being an ******* . thats my take. You showed restraint IMO....fake ring Im soooo impressed......NOT. jerk. as far as the bolded nahh u won't too much class I dont even know u but you'll remember not to be THAT schmuck haha m Edited January 25, 2022 by muppy 1 1 Quote

At least something good will come of it. https://www.wivb.com/sports/buffalo-bills/chiefs-fans-sending-13-donations-to-oishei-after-bills-loss/ My hat is off to KC fans. Celebrate your win, have some fun and help a good cause. As the Bills Mafia has shown, this is sports at its best. And, they got me laughing in the process. Thanks KC fans! 4 2 1 Quote

Chiefs didn't clinch the deal last season. Never know, Bengals could beat them (they did just 2 weeks ago) or could lose some key players during that game and go down to the Lambs or the 9ers. 31 minutes ago, CountDorkula said: whos virtue signaling?

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
JerseyBills Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 12 hours ago, Success said: Very cool. 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. 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

How is this different than donating to Lamar Jackson's charity after we kicked his ass in the playoffs and knocked him out the game? Did Bills fans donate $6 to rub in the pick 6? Or $8 to honor Lamarr Jackson? Had we rubbed in the pick 6 then it would be the same. But we didn't... 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
