BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted January 7 Posted January 7 I absolutely loved this guy as a kid- total electricity, and if you don't know who Joe Cribbs is, here's a fresher: and with a gorgeous soundtrack they gave a deserving player You don't get that soundtrack if you suck. Gotta say, I think the small charging buffaloes were the best... but I'm cool with the current unis. 3 1 5 3 Quote
Matt_In_NH Posted January 7 Posted January 7 My earliest Bills memory memory is Cribbs….he was awesome and he did some mattress commercial locally. But he hated Buffalo and forced his way out I believe. Quote

But he hated Buffalo and forced his way out I believe. Yeah I remember he was mad about his contract and sat out maybe? Anyway I remember I was like 11 and in the car going down Colvin in Kenmore and someone had a big handwritten sign on a sheet hanging from the front of their store that said something like "Cribbs is a baby go back to bed" and 3 drunk looking guys in lawn chairs cheering at the passing cars Thank you for attending my ted talk 2 Quote
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted January 7 Author Posted January 7 Tough, weird world- the USFL was trying to compete with the NFL. They offered some better contracts to huge players, and Cribbs was one of them- Jim Kelly too. Whattaya do- the AFL would have never joined the NFL, and metric would never have met Standard on the ISS if not for Ralph Wilson and Al Davis... and to a lesser degree, Lamar Hunt. Quote
Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 7 Posted January 7 I loved watching him play Probably the second best RB pass catcher Bills have ever had. He had amazing vision, rivaled only by Thurman, OJ, and Shady in that regard. Quote

nucci Posted January 7 Posted January 7 one of my favorite players. Ran WR pass patterns and couldn't be covered 3 Quote

I'm pretty sure the natural reaction to, 'hey, check this player out!', is a douchebag saying, 'I thought he'd died, otherwise I'd respond', Is, I thought he was dead' really the best you can do?

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted January 7 Author Posted January 7 Wot- you're my man on a different continent. God bless you. Song for you- Quote

I hit the wrong emoji with my fat fingers- this happens all of the time to me. Go Bills! Quote

But it didn’t say “check this player out”. It just said his name. That’s why there’s a rule about not having name only titles. Don’t be so sensitive. Here is some music Edited January 7 by WotAGuy Quote
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted January 7 Author Posted January 7 Of course, it just said it's name- silly me Quote
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted January 7 Author Posted January 7 I tried to start a thread about a very good player, maybe WotaGuy has maybe ZERO idea about, but up yours Quote
eball Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Loved Cribbs…huge part of those ‘80-81 teams that ended the Miami curse and made the playoffs. I had completely forgotten he ever played for the 49ers. Quote
MJS Posted January 7 Posted January 7 I miss that old NFL music. It was the best. And they used to have it in Madden. I used to turn off all the crappy music and leave on only the old NFL music. But they don't even have it anymore in Madden. Sad. Quote
