Another Mile Stone In Bills History at Highmark #500 for a Icon .

[T master]

There have been so many things that have happened in this stadium all of the championships won here all of the records set then broken by other players, some tragedy's and triumphs but this game this week will be another milestone that will include some one the Bills have a close relationship with .

 

Jim Nance and Tony Romo will once again be calling the game at Highmark which just seems to be the way it should be but this game this week end will not only be a play off game but it will also be Jim Nance's 500th game that he has called since he started calling NFL games .

 

What a career ! Jim him self has said that he is going to be scaling back his schedule to spend more time with his family which i think in a way when he comes to Buffalo there may be a few that consider Jim part of the Bills Mafia which was set in stone when the Bills family showed their love for him when his mom i believe it was passed a few years back .

 

In true Bllls Mafia form they came through and made a bunch of donations to a charity (please correct me if i have misremembered) but Jim has called some of the biggest games here and i feel he has a true love for the Bills and those that play here & the entire organization .

 

In doing my morning ritual looking at my Bills app i saw Josh giving Jim a game ball they had made up for him with Bills vs Broncos on it and the number 500 games on the ball and i think that was very cool of the Bills to show that kind of love for a guy that has given so much to the sport .

 

He is one of the iconic voices of the sports and the day he finally walks away and has his mike drop moment will be a sad one for us fans that love to here him call our games but i feel he will be missed not only by the fans but also the Bills players .

 

And i hope that he will be the guy to call the Bills Superbowl game and can enjoy along with all of us the Bills first Lombardi !!

 

GO BILLS !!!

well, FOX has the Super Bowl this season, so….

 

But seriously, congrats to Jim Nantz!  Great PBP guy… nothing too remarkable or over-the-top about him, but that’s why he’s so good to be honest.

Pretty cool achievement for him. But TBH I hate Romo calling this game. He is like nails on a chalkboard! The two of them don't mesh and it is rinse and repeat drivel. Just turn off the TV sound and hook up AI NFL to your stereo and click on Bills game. So cool. You can pick from over 100 voices to call the game and it's wayyyyyyyy better.

Man that kind of sucks in a way, who is Fox TV's first team ? Joe & Troy are no longer there and i don't watch many other games than the Bills games so i don't know who took there spot .

 

It just wouldn't be right if Nance wasn't able to call the Bills SB game .

Great, how many times will he bring up that Tom played in, like, a LOT of Super Bowls?

Wouldn't that be kind of ironic if Brady were to cal the Bills first SB win ...

Geez, you know you’re about ready to buy a coffin when this is like the 7th or 8th broadcaster you’ve seen age out and eventually retire.

I remember Jim Nantz talking about how fantastic Buffalo fans and staff were when him and Romo did the Steelers game here back in 2022. It was the day after Nance's mother passed away and he was wondering the night before if he should even do the game but decided to go ahead with it. He stated that the Bills staff and stadium crew all came to him and showed their sympathies to him and Bills fans donated to an alzheimer's foundation that he started for his dad and donated lots of money with a message saying "Bills Mafia. God Bless you, Jim" and he said it was the only team and fanbase that did it and he was entirely grateful for it. It just goes to show how truly special our team and fans are.

Nanzt is probably my favorite of all time.
