Twas the night before football.

[Fleezoid]

I've done this a lot of years. Doesn't feel the same with a night game. and if it's getting stale, let me know.

 

Twas the night before football, and all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

The Labatt Blue was chilling, in the cooler with care,

In the hopes that Bills football soon would be there.

 

The players were all nestled, by curfew in bed,

while visions of Super Bowls, danced in their heads.

Some mama in her G-string, and I in my thong,

Drank too much tequila, 'till the night was long gone.

 

When out in the den, there arose such a clatter.

I sprang from my bed, to see what was the matter.

Away to the couch, I stumbled and tripped,

grabbed the remote, and cursed when it slipped.

 

The sun on the blades, of the fresh painted lawn,

Gave luster of football, the waiting was gone.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear,

A powerhouse team, and Bills Mafia with beer.

 

With a steely-eyed coach, and Big Baller Beane,

They created a beast, one we may never have seen.

More mightier than Rams, their warriors they came,

They whistled, clapped, and shouted their names...

 

Now Dawson, now Devin, Now Josh and Stefon,

On Groot, on Micah, on Jordan and Von.

To the top of the league, to the top of the world,

It’s Playoffs, Super Bowl, then LOMBARDI this year!...Please?!.....PLEASE?!

To put the thought, time & words of support will never be stale to this board. 

Go Bills!

‘Twas the night before football and I was so worried

how will this team do? win it all or get buried?

i have my snacks and beer placed, and the TV is on

but for  some @#&&ing reason I’m hearing this song

 

Then it turned to a screech that nearly broke my glass 

I was Chris collinsworth , what a dumb #$&*ing a$$

I thought he was gone, death woukd have bern best

thats how I feel about him oh do I detest

 

Tirico I can tolerate, that I could say

i love to steam WGR but I refuse to pay

 buffalo is favored by 2.5 points, I think that’s just fine

thats rare to happen in the defending champs betting line

 

this teams will be put to the test

i want them to win, I hope fir the best

and see this season end with a championshipring

we can say @#$& you to country as we start to sing

 

the bills make me want to shout…..

I love to see it and look forward to it every year.

Never stop please. 

 

If you're taking requests, can you commit to an encore of "Rockin around the Lombardi", if appropriate in Feb?

Ooooh, not sure. I used to do "Most Wonderful Time" years ago, but I saw someone did a good rendition a few days ago. I also tried another one years ago, can't remember which one, but it wasn't good. 

 

i'd hate to start it and get into the "J" word. But that choice fits, if the lyrics work.

Yes. And please get Brenda Lee to sing it if possible!

[TheBrownBear]

Love it!  Came here tonight looking for this very post.  Well done!

[Utah John]

The only poetry I'm interested in right now is Allen to Diggs, or Singletary in the secondary.

 

Good job, though.

[Zerovoltz]

This is as good a spot as any.............

 

As a long time Chiefs fan....in a market that isn't all that big, and home to one of the original AFL franchises....and admirer of Buffalo wings and crazy fans jumping on talbles....I wish you all the best of luck!  I will be rooting for my Chiefs...but will be following the Bills closely and rooting for you all to have a great season.  I will of course want my team to beat yours...especially if we should meet in the playoffs yet again, BUT.....if it can't be my Chiefs winning it all, I'll be rooting for the Bills and all their great fans to win it.  

 

No is also as good a time as any to thank your community here once again for allowing me to hang out here and participate.  Many of you know I joined up after the Mahomes trade to kind of follow along and troll....and when Allen got drafted, I was rooting for it to work, but I was on the side of thinking it would never work out.  It's been really fun to see Allen and your team turn into the great squad it's become today....and I've become something of a fan over that time watching it happen.  

 

Thanks again, and GOOD LUCK!

Personally, I get super Runked (Let me know if Runked is a new term), the night before the season opener so I can sleep till an hour before the game.

So what if anyone thinks it's stale? Do it for you. It's fun and I recall these from decades(?!?) ago. Nice job.
