PTS Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Sure this team has sucked for what feels like an eternity and it probably will suck again this year but I abandoned them and wished them nothing but the worst last season. I did something a true fan should never do. However, I had a HUGE beef with the old administration and what they did to our team. They tainted my love for the Bills. The stentch of TD has almost wore off but I still have a beef with Ralph as I think he is the sole reason we haven't done much in the past decade. However, I'm starting to feel good about this group (Marv & Company). Marv knows how to win and althought he might not be the greatest pick for GM, he deserves a chance. He makes people around him better. Hopefully that translates all the way down into the field. That being said, I'm back on the bandwagon. I don't expect much this season so anything over five wins will be great, but win or lose, I won't completely fall off the wagon this time. Well, as long as Satan himself doesn't return. These are my sins, I am truly sorry for having sinned against you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere in the TBD archives (11/03 or thereabouts) there is a post in which I state that I was boycotting the Bills until Greg Williams was gone. That was my last post until the other day. I didn't abandon the Bills, mind you--beginning in 2004, I watched practically every game faithfully--; I just chose not to post. Funny. No one seemed to miss me.

(I don't know where I'll be then, doc, but I won't smell good. That's for sure.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hey, man, you never answered my question in another thread: how much did you pay for your new HD DVR??? 763200[/snapback] Sorry, I must've forgotten to go back and check that thread. I'm paying $200, which includes installation of the new dish. Since I'm actually adding a new DVR it didn't classify as a replacement, or I think they would have given it to me for free. The rep tried to do it anyway but I received a free HD DVR upgrade earlier in the year and she said the system wouldn't allow me to receive two freebies in the same year. I don't know if that was b.s. or not, but it's still a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's $199 but you get $100 back over 10 months on your bill. OPPS: Now I see the question wasn't directed toward me. Funny, but that's what I spent on a HD DVR from Dish last weekend.

These are my sins, I am truly sorry for having sinned against you. 763147[/snapback] Sorry, but this is lame. The thing that seperates Bills Fans from others is the fact that we will never quit. During his confirmation hearings, the AP reported that Chief Justice Roberts is a Bills Fan. Has this ever happened before? Bill Fans are different. Even the rich and famous Bills Fans have an element of blue collar. It is both happy and sad that there are so many out of town fans. Sad in the sense that I can feel the pain of various posters who feel as if (or were in fact) forced out of a reigon that they love for economic reasons. Happy in that the devotion remains intact, if not strengthened. Bills Fans are little guys who stand together and take on the bigger world. We win some, and lately we lose even more, but we are still here; still fighting. Yeah, we bicker, but we are a tight group. I will never turn my back on the Bills nor Bills Fans until I am dead. This must sound crazy, perhaps even banal, but so be it. If the Bills make the superbowl in my lifetime, I will not try to go and see the game. I will watch it in WNY, and I am bringing my friends, and family of Bills Fans. We will be taking the streets if they win. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS: Welcome back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
