udonkey Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Listen, I know that its preseason. I know that the game supposedly means nothing. Regardless, I've got a vested interest in this game, as always when we play against the Bungles. While you're at the game think of me...I'll be in a bar (most likely BW3s) surrounded by these fickle fans, most of whom 3 years ago couldn't tell you more than 3 players on the team, now all decked out in their Johnson/Palmer jerseys. While I've got the clear advantage - 8 straight regular season victories, dating back to 1989 - another victory will further add fuel to my fire when I attempt to tear these !@#$s apart. Be loud when our boys are on D! If it weren't for $3/gallon gas, I'd be at the game this weekend, but it makes more sense to me to budget for the trips to games that will actually mean something.

Gordio Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 the problem is there will will only be about 35,000 people @ the game. I usually dont go to the preseason games(I have season tickets along with 5 of my friends) butIm taking my little guy to the game. He is 2 1/2 years old. It is his first game. I know I probably wont be as loud as i usually am during the regular season given the fact that I wont be drinking my usualy 12-15 beers before I even walk thru the gates(maybe I will have a beer once I get inside). My wife agreed to let me take the little guy to the game only after I agreed not to get loaded like I usually do for the regular season games.

roscoeparrishfan Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Do Preseason games need to be sold out to be on local tv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Yes. 744634[/snapback] AFAIK, only the home ones. B'gals sold out at home against WAS last Sunday, so the NBC affiliate here was able to broadcast. But I can't say for sure, that because it was a national broadcast game, it would have been denied local vieiwing...dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Rich Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I won't be there, but I'll be loud anyway. Maybe the person who has my tickets for that game will be loud. I know the people in my section (if they show up) will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBilliever Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 usually in my section it consists of 1) Drunks. Not drunks, but I mean, really really pissing off of ledges drunk. 2) Fighters as stated above. 3) Wavers as stated above 4) Men trying to run on to the field 5) Some idiot wearing a Randy Moss jersey, confused at the Bills - Jets game 6) Naked women (not a problem) 7) Obscenely fat guys sitting next to me. Don't worry, I'll be loud, I have to do my part to piss these people off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udonkey Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 5) Some idiot wearing a Randy Moss jersey, confused at the Bills - Jets game Don't worry, I'll be loud, I have to do my part to piss these people off. 744800[/snapback] Hah...#5 is typical...if not Moss, I see a lot of Favres and Ricky Williams (don't worry, we give them hell). Hell, despite my threats of violence, my bro-in-law wore his Tom Brady jersey to the Bills/Packers preseason game last year...fag. Thanks for doing your part - I've seen no less than 10 Bengals jerseys ALREADY today, and its pissing me off. I might have to burn an effigy on Friday night.

Catholic Guilt Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Will the game be on DirectV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udonkey Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Will the game be on DirectV? 744860[/snapback] Probably just on the NFL network replay - fortunately (if you look at it that way), I live in cincy, so we'll have it on live local broadcast this time around. I'll record it, but I can't promise that means I'll be able to share - I recorded the Bills/Panthers game, and after editing out commercials, its still a 7.5GB file.

Just Jack Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 usually in my section it consists of 6) Naked women (not a problem) 744800[/snapback] What section are you in? I'm in the clubs, meaning tea/crumpets, golf claps after every good play, and say "gosh darn it" after every bad play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta hand it to him, he had some balls to wear that into enemy territory. He left with nothing more than his tail between his legs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is in my section enjoying the game, not causing trouble, who cares what team they are rooting for. But if they start with the finger pointing at other fans, then they deserve the chant.
