I've attached my picture, taken at the Kentucky/Tennessee border in Static, Tennessee. I chose to wear my (autographed) Jack Kemp jersey because he was the Bills quarterback when I attended my first game at War Memorial Stadium in 1964. That was the beginning of my dedication to the Bills.

Fan Reactions to the Shout! Song - Part II
‘"I believe the Bill’s Shout Song was and is one of the greatest things for the team and us fans. No matter where you hear shout you get excited about the Bills. It is one way that fans can connect to the team and get enthusiastic about the team. I for one love the song and what it does for the fans….I wish they would play it more at the games though."’

Their passion for their team was proudly displayed for all of Iraq to see, they were fans of the Buffalo Bills and they didn’t care who knew it.’

Beneath the Turf
‘After visiting various pro, college and youth-level fields in 10 – 15 cities, Munson and Frandina settled on AstroPlay for a variety of reasons. One of the biggest was the field’s "G-max" rating, which measures the hardness of a ground surface based on vertical-drop tests. A measurement of zero is extremely soft; a measurement of 200 is extremely hard. Natural grass is an 85, and AstroPlay is close, "around an 85 to a 95," Munson says.’

Ryan Denney will have something to celebrate this Father's Day. The Buffalo Bills defensive end is a new father, welcoming his daughter to the world just two months ago. Though he is in the midst of training during mini-camp, he has also has his hands full at home, caring for an infant. But Denney doesn't let his fatherly duties interfere with his job. He's been hitting the weights and practicing hard in anticipation of the 2003 season.
