In other news, former Bills RB/FB Tim Tindale "The Canadian Comet" is going into the Canadian Football HOF.

 

 

 

 

Good for Tim Tindale.   His part in throwing dirt on Shula's professional grave will always be appreciated.

 

A buddy of his told me Tindale was living the fine life on a small lake north of Toronto and still rooting for the Bills.

 

One of @Bob Lamb all time favorite Bills.

IIRC. That was the game where Thurman plowed into Fish DC Tom Olivadotti on the sidelines.

"On December 30, 1995, Buffalo broke the league record for rushing yards in a game with 341, winning 37–22. This was Shula's last game in the NFL."

July 10, 2022:  Ti-cats did not lose this week in CFL action.  (Bye week. 😁)

In other league action, Duke Williams was good for a TD and a 4 reception game against Ottawa on Friday night.  I wonder if his good play is attributed to the fact his Canadian Tire on Thursday unloaded a shipping container of footballs shipped 'bulk'. 🤔

 "On my first day of mini-camp, Buffalo Bills coach Marv Levy came up to me and knew my name and all my stats. He was the head coach and he knew everything about me." (Levy had coached in the Canadian Football League for a period in the late 1970s and early 1980s.) Tindale had gained television exposure in Buffalo through CHCH-TV's broadcast of Ontario university football, which had made him a "cult hero" of sorts in the station's broadcast area.

Tindale scored his first career rushing touchdown on December 30, 1995, in a playoff game against the Miami Dolphins. His Western University coach, Larry Haylor, said he remembers watching Tindale's first NFL touchdown while on vacation. "We were huddled around a 7-inch TV screen. Tim broke a run for 44 yards and my wife and I were jumping up and down, cheering and screaming. People came storming into our room to see what was wrong." Haylor also said "I always said Tim would be the guy I would pick first if I had to choose a team. At 5'11", 220 [pounds], he had very unusual talents. He's one of those guys who will give you his soul in effort."
