    Actually 41. Didn't start getting into sports teams until I was like 11. Originally from the Adirondacks but live in Rochester now...That 87 team in the strike season is the one that caught my eye. The run in 88 made me a fan.. And Ronnies drop broke my heart, cementing my love for this team until the end.

    Well its the Eve of my thirtieth season as a Buffalo Bills fan. The outlook is bleak this year as the Bills are poised to extend their playoff drought to a baffling 18 years. It has been a rough go but I remember other times. I remember the goal posts being torn down when they won the division in 88. And I remember the loss to Icky Woods and the Bengals in the AFC championship game the same season. I remember the Bickering Bills and the drop by Ronnie Harmon to lose to Cleveland in the 89 playoffs. I remember 51-3, 10-7, 29-10, 30-13 and the absolute euphoria I felt after each one of those wins. I choose not to remember the games that came after them. I remember the greatest comeback in NFL history and I remember Frank Wychek throwing the ball forward. I remember all the big games with Miami we had, and winning most of them. I remember finding a way to watch my beloved Bills in Alaska, Seattle and Peru. I remember (most of) the 29 straight home games I attended. I remember Thurman Thomas, James Loften and Eric Moulds. I remember Shane Conlan, Bryce Paup and Cornelius Bennett. I remember San Francisco fans becoming St louis fans and then becoming Tampa Bay fans and back to San Francisco. I remember when there were NO Patriot fans.

     

    30 years and a lot of down times but I remember the good as well as the bad and I consider myself to be a true loyal fan to the team I love. I couldnt be luckier that back in 87 I chose the Bills because everyone else liked the Jets, Giants, 49ers or Bears. So while the upcoming season may look glum I raise my glass as I always have and always will and say Lets Go Buffalo!

    Anyone else get pissed when Michael's disrespected Buffalo?

    No, it was most definitely Collinsworth's bum a**. You can't mistaken that weasel voice anywhere. I can care less about our garbage players that they have, but what really irked me was how he would praise each (Pats) player like they were godly or something. The LT clearly held Dee Ford while he ripped inside on a passrush move, and Collinsworth praised him. He also praised the RT with his job on Houston, but Houston dropped back in coverage just about every play to rock any WR coming over on a crossing pattern. The dude is a straight bum! Can't stand him as a commentator.

    No, it was Michaels.
