It's been a while but if my memory serves me right Watkins very first injury as a Bill was a rib injury he suffered in the pre-season before his first career game. There was a lot of doom and gloom from the fanbase around the injury. Little did we know at the time it would foretell an entire career of constant injuries for Sammy.

I always wondered about yours!

Super psychedelic 1967 Rolling Stones song. Name always stuck with me.

Love the Stones. Don’t know that song though. I’m gonna look it up!

[Chandler#81]

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!

Really? We had a resident Wyoming fan who used to write a lot on the old BBMB. Miss her stuff for sure!

Great stuff. Love the Who

[ChevyVanMiller]

Grew up listening to Bills home games on the radio (they were always blacked out on TV) with Van Miller on the call. When I joined here I had a Chevy Van. 

I love word chains, was once in a band called Bar Stool Pigeons, thus ChevyVanMiller was born.

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

My last name is Sage and at the time I created the account I loved RATM.  Now I’m tepid but nostalgic about them.

[EasternOHBillsFan]

I first came to TBD around the very first year the site began back and at that time I was stationed in Virginia Beach, so I was RabidBillsFaninVA for many years and then changed it when I was stationed in Maryland.

 

After 20 years and 7 deployments, I retired to Ohio to take care of my wife's family in 2018 and now I'm EasternOHBillsFan. It's hard to believe I have been here for 24 years now... 24 years.

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. 

Great topic, Alfa.

 

First part of the name is obvious. The second part of my name is the area code I live in; San Diego.

 

Go Bills!

[ColoradoBills]

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).

[145B4IDIE]

I’ll be changing to 246B4IDIE soon🍺

[HOUSE]

Obsurd nasty sarcastic TV character that best exemplifies rude people, truth justice and the American way...

I was hungry and accidentally mispelled it. Too lazy to change it. Here we are.
