For a large part of my career I worked for a fortune 10 corporation. They often had super-bowl boondoggles for the sales force and top customers. I vividly remember that for both the Detroit and Minny Super Bowls, that they had the Superbowl events in warm climes [Cancun, Caribbean] and just broadcast the games on large screens for anyone who wanted to watch. Buffalo will never host a superbowl, regardless of what type of stadium. The 75" inch snowfall will scare them away, can you imagine a superbowl and no one could get there because air travel was grounded.

The Bills once had a guy named Daryl Lamonica, I would consider him a franchise quarterback, but we let him go.

Anyone see this. At least he will have a wife who understands winning. http://www.twcc.com/entertainment/galleries/celebrity_weddings_engagements#/0

As an original bills fan [i was 12 in 1960], this is one of the best selections ever. He is without doubt the voice of the Bills, and one of the classiest guys that ever spoke into a microphone. I will make every effort to be there on his special Day.

The stepped up basis thing is huge I think. Ralph's basis is $25K. Her's is the fair market value on the date of his passing [e.g. $1BB or so].

Wonder if any tax lawyers are on the board. I remember when my dad passed, that the stocks they jointly held stepped up in basis on the day of his death. Wonder if that happens with football teams. If so, she just had close to a billion dollars evade the tax man, especially since she lives in Florida.

I still remember Cookie running for 243 yards in a Mosh Pit on a sleeting November Day. Wonder if AP could have done what he does on a field like the rockpile...

People forget, Frank is a committed Christian, with strong ties to the Bible Belt. Yes SD is a better climate, but OC in SD vs. OC in TN, could be a tough choice for him, esp with SD's stadium issues. If Frank could turn CJ2K into a faster Thurmal, that would be a start right there.

I'm still partial to Cookie, he could placekick, pass block, play MLB, and was money in short yardage. Before they outlawed it, he used to regularly blast Kemp into the end zone from behind on the QB sneak. Also Butch Rolle and Kelly were money on the tackle eligible in short yardage.

Yep & My son & I were there in a skybox [thanks to my auditors, who also audited Enron]. Talk about going from the Thrill of Victory to the Agony of Defeat. Sure looked forward to me and I was in front of the play, but the gutless replay official decided the replay was inconclusive. Unfortunately that play led to the hiring of Greggo and we have been in a continual downward spiral since that day.

I have one that belongs on the list. 12/28/63 - AFL Divisional Playoff Game. Bills hosted the Patsies at the Rock Pile. Afternoon game, temp at Kickoff was 20 with an 11 mph wind. Wind Chill Calc in use at that time give 2 degrees. Even worse, Buffalo had been blasted by a snowstorm earlier in the week. They brought in helicopters and flamethrowers to clear the grass field, which was painted. They sorta shoveled off the seats, but the bleachers (the whole open end of the stadium) you made your own seat out of the snow on the wooden boards that served as seats. My dad & I were in the bleachers, and it was a very uncomfortable day, not to mention the Bills were terrible, save for a 93 yard TD pass from Lamonica to Dubenion. In these days of specialists, Cookie Gilchrist was the FG and place kicker and Daryle Lamonica was the punter for the Bills, and Gino Cappeletti kicked 4 FG's and caught four passes for 109 yards for the Pats.

Why would any team hire a HC who gets shredded by NE. 34 points & a journeyman RB getting 330+ yards from scrimmage doesn't exactly say he's a defensive mastermind.

Original 1960 Bills Fan. F**k Russ & Ralph, Buffalo made the franchise what it's worth, Greedy B*st*a*ds

I just clocked the replay four or 5 times, and from the time Wood snaps the ball to the time Goodwin crosses the goal line I'm getting right at 4.9 seconds, into the wind in full football gear. 45 yards, That translates to a 4.35 40 in pads. I wonder if anyone else in the league is that fast in pads?

Another Option no one has mentioned, is once he is healthy, lining up Spiller into the slot. How do you cover a 4 wide set with Woods, Spiller, and Goodwin & SJ13

And Goodwin smoked one of those so called "island" CB's which means with Spiller, Woods, and Graham in the lineup, that the d has big time speed matchup problems. TD Stevie!

Competition committee really needs to look at that, when someone's fouled [e.g. MW], any subsequent foul is negated.

An Idol of my Childhood. Used to remember his Bison's broadcasts. Always thought he was "edgier" than Van Miller, and told it like it was. RIP Bill

KW penalty is probably why we were silent when Duke Williams got clipped on the OT punt return, afraid to put them 15 yards closer. Do the refs who blow calls get fined like the players do for marginal hits on sketchy plays?

What ever happened to the great goal line play we used to run with Butch Rolle. The guy was unstoppable.
