dwight in philly

Myself and 4 friends all invested in season tickets.. We got there in time to see Herb Mul- Key , receive the first kickoff ever at the Stadium and run it back toward us in the tunnel end zone for a TD..

Totally agree with your premise of "trying way to hard to be funny" , it gets old, predictable .. to a point where you know what essentially will be forthcoming .. and always is..,

Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!loved it.. as a guy who started at the Rockpile with my Dad.. This was beautiful !

Didnt know he was a Vikings fan.. was under the impression he was a Steeler fan.., from that area I believe..

Totally agree.. get the feeling he thinks Buffalo is not worthy..

Well said..

I agree , thought Saffold had a decent career , but on here , its mostly "open mike night" .. who can have the most creative quip..

As someone who attended games when Rich Stadium opened, the concessions there at that time were awful.. they had horrible looking hot dogs floating in a tub of water at the concession stand.. the beer was piis warm draft.. and just crappy popcorn.. not much else.. At that time each stand was run by individual groups , like a church.. all the workers at the stands were volunteers , so you cant blame them.., I cant remember the name of the concession group , but it wasnt Sportservice(later Delaware North) .. They came aboard years later..

Had the same thought..

Sports talk whether on radio or TV is unlistenable IMHO. Way too profound and sanctimonious..

Me too , would love to get there .. just a great feeling knowing they arent leaving!

YEP! I am old too.. Rockpile in 1960 as an 8 yr old, then the "new" stadium in 1973, (after living thru the Lancaster Dome BS), then after Ralph died, a bit of concern (I.E Bon Jovi) feels great to exhale..so happy..

Yea, good point.. did it many times back then, but too old now ,I usually wait till noon.

A 9:30 AM start , our time , a bit too early for beer.. Bloody Marys i guess.

That man stands alone.. used to look forward to the show years ago..

"13 seconds" cant watch..

Could be a "Jack Lambert " type..

Didnt know that.. but based on how the season finished, thought he might show up for appearance sake, if nothing else.

Surprised , a little at Diggs.. I think he is over whatever issues, if any he had with Allen.. But show up at the non-mandatories.. if he is going to be a distraction.. dump him..

I always had my problems with Ralph over the years, but now, upon reflection , he is the reason the team is still here as you point out.. and his foundation has never stopped giving to Buffalo either..,

Great comparison!!

I am in the Philly area and my oldest daughter lives in the same area as McDermott's parents.. She and my youngest granddaughter were in local Breakfast place about a month ago, Granddaughter had on her Allen jersey, and in walked McDermott's parents.. His father had Bills cap on , spotted my daughter and granddaughter and came right over, both he and McDermott's mother introduced themselves as did my daughter, and his parents could not have been nicer!. Spoke about how much they like Orchard Park , etc.. just regular nice people.. Can never hate on Coach McD

Yep, for sure , and once the Chief's got Taylor , the Chief's really turned the corner and went ahead of the Bills.. the Chief's were on the rise in 66, the Bills started their long decline.

OK.. but it seems like that would lead to interpretation of content and substance .. sincerely being inquistive .. and appreciate your response ..
