Git er Done! 103207[/snapback] I'm incredibly pleased that the o-line hangs out together, especially with the QB there. That type of thing is what made the Bills great back in the day. Buffalo isn't like other football towns, and I'm glad to see these guys carrying on the tradition. I'm of the mind that much of what needs to get done with this offensive line can be accomplished over a beer, and not in a meeting room.

It was always like that in the Big Tree. Danny DeMarco wouldn't allow the players to be bothered, even when I was just a wee kid and would go in there to see my uncle behind the bar. The Big Tree is good times and better people.
jester43 Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 that is a downright heartwarming story...thanks for sharing!

EndZoneCrew Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 Did you ask them....Would ya eat the moon if it were made of ribs? 103335[/snapback] No but I asked...."Would you rather have Mad Cow or be the top scientist in your field"?
