Alright this one won't fit in 100 words but its worthy of posting

 

2002 Bills, Dolphins. Ray Lucus started for the Dolfags because Jay Fiedler was hurt. I was sitting in the Jim Kelly club with my dad, brother and his friend. And i remember watching Coy Wire at SS thinking he was gonna be a good player when Ricky Williams burst throw the line and ran right by him and scored a TD. Then it started having blowing snow and the Dolphins couldn't do anything the rest of the day. The Bills just pounded them all day and all three quarterbacks were used including the infamous Sage Rosenfels. I remember ricky had something like 250 yards russing for the day but the bills still dominated. It was a fun day

Well, I'll probably not enter, but my story involves the 1987 Bills v. Miami. The first regular season game (not played by replacement players) ever in Joe Robbie Stadium. The first game after the "replacement Players" debacle that year. Sunday, Oct 25.

 

Not for the faint hearted. My story involves booze, drugs and the Metro Dade (?) police.

 

Bills were down by 21 at halftime.

 

I felt so depressed that I was ready to walk though the nearby Atlantic Ocean, on my way to Europe. But first, I decided to grab a couple of beers from the concession.

 

My seat mate needed to use the head, and headed off.

 

Several minutes later I saw him as he was being led down the mezzanine (or ring road, or whatever the hell they call the area outside of the bowl where you can get beer) by an armed Officer of the Law.

 

Apparently due to his intake miscalculations, he had suffered a low blood sugar event and ended up on the floor of a Joe Robbie mens room, his actions and Jim Kelly jersey drawing derisive laughter from the locals.

 

After several acts of Divine Providence, we actually made it back to our seats in time for the second half and were treated to a superb comeback, capped with a Bills W, 34-31 in OT.

 

As we left the stadium, reinvigorated in more ways than one, the defeated looks on those Fish phans phaces were a joy and a marvel to behold. Happy time!
