I was over at my aunts house on the west side of Buffalo where we were stuck for the night and I didn’t have my asthma meds. A stste of emergency was declared. Thus was the worst snow since the blizzard of 77 which I also remrmber

That is still one of the great,all time NFL moments. If you look close, an up and coming ESPN guy named Chris Berman was down there I believe.

Sunday.  Day after two days of heavy snow and two nights at Cassidy’s.  I remember the game.   I remember Freddy’s Special!  I remember little else.   UB and Highgate Avenue.

Wow.  Thanks for making me..know I’m old!!

 

Wasn’t a football fan, per se. Remembered the bills 80 or 81 seasons. Actually sold pop and candy IN THE STANDS for the bills game they finally beat Miami!! Watched as they dragged the goalpost up the endzone seats and over the edge! That was my intro to pro football.

 

For whatever reason, watched “the catch” game. Wasn’t a football fan, but was taken in by how the game unfolded. Announcers were great, action was great.  Don’t recall “the catch” as much as remember falling in love with the Niners and Montana. My team for years!  
 

Bet my father’s best friend 50 cents the Niners would win. They did and he nail  punched “XVI” on 2 quarters and gave them to me. Still have them!

 

Niners still my team…distant second to the Bills of course!! Anyways, great memories!

 

Go Bills!!
