Buffalonian-at-Heart Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 You guys will probably never forgive me for this. I am in my mid 30's and have been a Buffalo Bills fan since I was born. Today I was driving with a Cowboy's fan, when he asked me "What is a Bill"? I am embarrassed to say, I didn't know. I think it is another name for a Buffalo/Bison. Am I correct, and can anyone send some links, to show how our name originated or proof of what a Bill is? I can't find anything. Also would be interested to know how many of you other fan's didn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endzone Animal Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 "Bill" refers to the bill located on the jaw of the male Buffalo, similar to a duck bill, and is used to attract females as part of the mating ritual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In honor of our coach why don't we just change our logo to a Phallus then ... will stay true to this theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I thought the "Bills" referred to all the bills Ralph pays or doesn't. Hence, the power being shut off this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
