Florida_BillsFan Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 These tidbits from a sports page feature in this morning's Orlando Sentinel...... NFL: Best & Worst Hall of Famer Still Around - Worst MARV LEVY What Levy, the coach, accomplished during the 1990s -- getting to (and losing) four straight Super Bowls -- may never be duplicated. He's the most famous Bill not acquitted for murder. He's also 80 years old and back as GM of a franchise that sprung all kinds of leaks last season. FIRST-ROUND PICK - Worst DONTE WITNER & JOHN MCCARGO Marv Levy took Witner, a safety from Ohio State, at No. 8 overall, then traded up to take McCargo, defensive tackle from North Carolina State, at No. 26. Both may pan out well but they probably could have been had with later picks. FANS - Worst MIAMI They don't even classify as "fair-weather fans." First, it's always nice in South Florida. Second, the last time the Dolphins were home for the playoffs, they couldn't sell out the game. That's pathetic.

BUFFALOTONE Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 FANS - Worst MIAMI They don't even classify as "fair-weather fans." First, it's always nice in South Florida. Second, the last time the Dolphins were home for the playoffs, they couldn't sell out the game. That's pathetic. I cant tell you how true this is. Quite possibly the worst fans in all of sports. Having to sit by these whiny bastages once a year is enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Yeah, the weather is always nice, but for some reason they can't be bothered to spend 5-6 hours (game plus traffic time) during 8 Sundays a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment they lost the lead and were about to lose the game, they left the bar as though they were trying to skip out on their tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFFALOTONE Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 One thing that always drove me crazy about Fish fans unlike any other fans: If you happened to be watching a Bills/Fish game at a bar -- and I spent a number of years doing that when I hung out with the Bills Backers all over the US -- the minute they had the lead, they would start getting in your face. The moment they lost the lead and were about to lose the game, they left the bar as though they were trying to skip out on their tab. 728615[/snapback] Prime example. I was at last years game in Miami. After we went up 21-0, the stands emptied and all they did was booo. I ended up leaving at the start of the third (in-laws are fish fans) and watched the game from a bar nearby also empty. All they did during the first 3 quarters was complain and booo. Its just the tip of the iceberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a high hurdle to clear for the Bills to surprise in '06, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't even SPELL Whitner, much less assess the guy's skill and talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
