    Lol wasn't trying to accuse you of being broke. I just think it'd be that, or I'd think this poor guy bought so many jerseys of players let go he just gave up buying them. Which is the place I'm in. I had a lot of jerseys as I got older, I've gotten less interested in them.

     

    No, I got ya, i'm doin' ok. I always think the same when I see a dude wearing Parrish or McGahee.  Then I look to see if it is stitched.  Prob gonna hop the ugly white Bledsoe, need one of those light tops from that era.

    You should just get an OJ Jersey if you're thinking of getting a Henry jersey.

     

    At least you'd get a reaction. With a Henry Jersey I think most would just assume you're broke and haven't bought one since 02.

     

    Funny, likely true and not too worried about if people think I'm broke or not.

    I have a couple of good, stitched "church" jerseys, but I can't resist snatching every obscure screen printed jersey that I find at the thrift shop. They're great to wear to games, because I'm a mess when I cook at the tailgate, and I don't care if I sit in nacho cheese or something in the stadium. I have a closet full, but my favorite one is an navy era Moorman away jersey. 

     

    Good point on the screens.  My stitched Freddy is just a touch more battle worn than I'd like.

    Has anyone asked the obvious question:  why?  This seems to be a bizarre fetish as I don't know why any Bills fan would covet a Bledsoe or Travis Henry jersey.

     

    Just to collect Bills jerseys from the different eras of my fan hood.  Some people collect odd things.  Not sure I'd call it a "fetish".  I'm not Rex Ryan or anything here

    Eagle Bay is a great area!  Do you live there year round?  Not many people can say that.

    When our kids were young, we would rent a place for a week in the summer.

    We used to climb Rocky Mt. almost every year (best view for the least effort in The Adirondacks).

    Lately, with my bad knees and my wife’s fear of falling, we have been circling Moss Lake instead. 

    My kids still talk about the donut shop, 25 years later. 

    We love going to the Big Moose Inn for dinner.  

     

    I used to live there, grew up there and went to school in Old Forge.  Live in Rochester now.  Just three hours away though so I visit when I can.  My folks have owned a small tourist shop in Eagle Bay for about 30 years now.  The best man at my wedding is the head chef at Big Moose Inn.

    I think you you should act like a human and make your own decision.

     

    Ha, just making off season board talk.  Curious to see what other odd jerseys people have and what their thoughts were.  Training camp will be here soon.

    Travis Henry was a bonehead...but he was a pretty damn good football player...go Travis!

     

    I did love the guy for a bit.  We was at a game back in the early 2000s (before I lived in Rochester, and going to games was less frequent) where he scored a TD in overtime to beat the Bengals.  But yeah, definitely a bone head.

  7. I have my stiched blue Freddy, my screened Jim Kelly and  my prized white Super Bowl patch Thurman jerseys.  Along with those I have a stitched ugly early 2000s blue Moulds jersey.  Out of the four the Moulds one gets the most coments on game day as it's just a little different than the norm.

     

    So here's the deal, thinking about picking up an ugly early 2000s white Bledsoe for a steal.  I know, he barely played here but that first season was actually pretty fun.  OR and an ugly early blue 2000s Travis Henry for not as much a steal. What should I do?  

     

    Spare me the get someone better stuff because these obscure jerseys are the ones I'm looking for.  Have also considered a TO and would love to hunt down a white Stevie Jersey for a good price.

    The Saints didn't lose because of the Robey non call. They lost because they failed to bury a team that gave them every chance to bury them early in the game when they literally couldnt complete a pass or get a first down for the first quarter and a half.

     

    They were up 10-0 with all the momentum and another score would have likely opened the floodgates. When a team gives you chances to bury them AT HOME with thw crowd going crazy and them looking scared to death and you fail to cash them in you have nobody to blame but yourself for losing. They should have won by 20+ points.

     

    The Saints didn't lose because of the call.  But had the correct call been made, pass interference OR helmet to helmet they have a first and goal inside the 5 and a chip shot FG to win at the gun, as they could have run the clock down having a fresh set of downs.  They simply would have won if either right call was made.  We'd have lost our minds had our season ended like that.
