RIP, Mike. He was one of my favorite Bills of the '70s. I still have his football card. FYI, I met Earl Edwards as a kid. My dad was a store manager at the Firestone on Niagara Falls Boulevard and Edwards was there for an in-store promo. My dad took my younger sister, brother, & me down to the store in the snow...wearing our pajamas...to meet him that night just before the store closed. We were the only ones in the store (boy have times changed) and got to talk with him for a while before going back home to bed. I was in awe of him. I was in the presence of real live Buffalo Bill whom I had watched play on TV...and he was talking to ME! I remember thinking that he looked like a giant...just seemed massive to a little boy like me. I was on cloud nine for a week. To this day it's still one of my most cherished Bills memories. Despite only making the playoffs once in the '70s, the Bills players on those teams are still some of my favorite of all-time. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. RIP, Mr. Kadish.

Yeah, I'm well aware of their opening day record. I was following them about two decades before you. I still find the clip funny. It's a microcosm of Met fandom.

@Gugny @SinceThe70s @Another Fan I saw the Verlander news earlier but was too depressed to post. 😁 Gary Apple said it's not serious and he'll still be able to throw. We'll see. JV is 40. I hit the trifecta...Bills fan, Sabres fan, & Mets fan. Was I a serial killer or something in a former life??

They said recovery for that injury is typically 8 months so there is a very small chance that he is back for the playoffs but in all reality, yes, he's done for this year. @Another Fan This year has flown by and things have snuck up on me. I can't believe that opening day is tomorrow and that the NFL draft is less than a month away. Crazy. Gug, I expected Alvarez to be sent down and, honestly, it was the right decision. He need to get as many games behind the plate as possible before sticking and he didn't have a great Spring at the plate either. I was more disappointed in Baty being sent down but I get that, too. He needs more seasoning at 3B and some games in the OF which is probably where he'll need to play with Escobar at 3B. He'll be up sooner rather than later, IMO. Vientos is likely a trade chip so a nice productive stint in the minors would benefit the team, as well. LFGM!!!

Maybe McDaniels can throw in a 'Bildo' to even things out. He's probably collected one or two during the Brady games at the stadium.

Goodell watching Lamar vs the Ravens...

Or a Car(r) thread. Wait...what?

This signing is an Omen...

Thanks for the memories and good luck. Buh-bye.

How emasculating.

Or even 14 seasons ago.

Looked more like a hype video to me.

This never gets old...

Missed a marketing opportunity in South Beach...
