I wanted some sort of a ColoradoBillsFan name.  After multiple tries that were taken, I accidently submitted ColoradoBills after

deleting the trailing "fan" and it took.  It looked a little weird, but I said, "screw it" and left it.

 

My current Avatar is the JFK Bears Logo from my High School in beautiful Cheektowaga (yes, I'm of Polish heritage).

Lots of Poles out there?

[First Round Bust]

I love the NFL draft and all its pre-draft hype analysis, combine, stats, mock drafts, opinions, Mel Kiper,  etc...and teams still freaking  miss...see qb draft of 2018...

 

oh...and the bust...self-explanatory

When I joined the D&C Hyperbills forum (the origin of TBD) I wanted something that someone from my generation would identify.

Hmmm...  Maybe I'll have to change mine to Biff Beeper.  Always loved that name.

 

Until then, I am Dave and I was a Park Ranger for 30 years.

Playing football in the neighborhood growing up, EVERYBODY was Bobby Chandler. Make a diving catch? “BOBBY CHANDLER!’. Toe drag catch at the sideline or end line of the endzone? “BOBBY CHANDLER!” 3 reasons; like every kid in the ‘hood, he was smallish & white & then he was Great!

Ditto and Chandler#81 was taken.

 

 I’m not sure player uniforms were available to buy back then so I wish I would’ve ordered a custom jersey with his name and #.

A few weeks back a forum member asked me about the meaning of my screen name. I thought it would be fun during this down time to perhaps share some back ground with each other. 
 

I’ll start, I am a big fan of the Italian car brand Alfa Romeo and of course our Bills. Pretty simple really I made portmanteau of the two. 

This is a good bye week thread. Mine’s fairly obvious

[Maybe Someday]

This thread got me thinking of what my original screen name was. First one was a play on my name. Then I changed it to 3–>10 connection after EJ completed a beautiful long TD pass to Bobby Trees (against the Ravens IIRC) and I thought I’d be watching them light up the league for years. Obviously that didn’t work out so once they were both gone I had to come up with something new. 
 

Great thread btw. 

[Captain Hindsight]

Originally I was Pepsi752 because 16 year old me would down a Pepsi every day. Then after helping found the Gibran Hamadan fan club, and the choisen one crashed the board, I changed my name to Hamdan’s Revenge. Finally settled on Captain Hindsight after the South Park Episode

My middle name is Augustine. (Thanks mom & dad!)  As a kid my sister, 3 years older, would tease me calling me Augie Doggie. It’s an old cartoon for the youngin’s. Around the time I joined the board she had just had a quadruple bypass. She’s tall, thin, never smoked and walked the dogs miles every day. Last person in a crowd you’d guess would need a quadruple bypass. I was thinking of her and her recovery when I picked a name.

Just an homage to those years when every player on the Bills had a surname of ___________. It was the front offices simple plan to scout to find not the best player available, but best _____________.

Just an anagram of my real name

 

Ah, good ole Arto Sinbum.  Named so for being the cause of most of the ***** laws this side of the Mississippi. 

 

As for mine, I wanted a new name on Twitch.  A common streamer practice there at the end of a stream is to post a link to a friend's or whatever active stream and send your viewers there, which is referred to as a raid.  I remembered someone in high school doing a one man band skit for a talent show, so I settled on 1ManRaid.  I became a weirdly famous viewer in some channels for the notion of being a perpetual solo raid.

I’m a Doggie Granddaddy as of last week. The first girl for us. Our son married a lovely lady who “gets it”. She was past due, but waited until 8:30pm, AFTER the game last Sunday, to be induced so our son wouldn’t miss that great game.

[Hermes]

Mines a moniker I've taken on online recently, after finally deciding to have an actual presence in forums and the like (I identify as a lurker..)

 

It isn't much fun for a football message board but here goes. It's an homage to Hermes Trimegistus. A figure who, to me, represents the transformation of oneself into the greatest version of oneself. By way of self reflection and discovery, simple spiritual practice, and attunement with the natural laws. 

 

Thanks to @Coldfronts for the inspiration to post mine. I was contented to enjoy everyone else's until I saw what you had posted.
