Know that he he was working for McDonald's during the off season to prepare for life after football. He actually worked the counter for a while....one time a customer said "hey, aren't you Darrel Talley of the Buffalo Bills?" He replied "no sir, today I'm Darrel Talley of McDonald's" anyways always thought that was cool. Hope him and/or Jimbo get the team...sooner would be better then later.

the way he looks now I'll be happy if he's an any down playe...starting to remind me of Audrey Bruce

The 20 straight wins and the kelly/marino connection were indeed the main reasons for the rivalry. Unfortunately players retire and those connections end. The longest lasting rivalries are based on geography. Ohio state Michigan, Mich/Mich state, UNC/Duke in basketball = just makes sense that these rivalries will last forever. Unfortunately realignment took place at a time when the Miami Buffalo rivalry was at the end of a very long life...lasted a few years but as the original poster points out its all but dead now. Playing Pittsburgh, Cleveland, an Cincinati twice a year, having large contingent of visiting fans at the home venue, would have made much more sense geographically. Unfortunately Ralph did not have this vision, I believe the quote was we sell out the Miami game every year.

we've been thinking about leaving the mcguire section because the neighbors don't like it when we make a lot of noise, always have a great time in the 300 sections. now your're telling me people are complaining about standing in the 300 section! this just stinks

just going over it in my mind there are 17 first rounder starting qb's and 15 second or later (Brees was first pick of second round I think so you can almost say 18 first 14 later). Didn't check on line so could be off by one

I would be happy with this

Denver is 2-0 and two spots behind us...as pointed out several times this all means nothing

not that it matters but he was drafted in 81, think he played 2-3 years.

Sorry to hear this. He was actually a first round pick of the Bills but that disease limited his effectiveness. RIP

You took our normal spot in the hammer lot and hammer told us not to bring a stereo because of the band. Nice job but someone should tell he band Freebird is a song to close with, not open. Anyways thanks for the tunes, saved us some set up/break down time.

Correct (thought that was explained in the original post)

Not sure if that is a rhetorical question...numbers are round, pick in round, overall pick 1 1 1 JaMarcus Russell Raiders Louisiana State 1 22 22 Brady Quinn Browns Notre Dame 2 4 36 Kevin Kolb Eagles Houston 2 8 40 John Beck Dolphins Brigham Young 2 11 43 Drew Stanton Lions Michigan State 3 29 92 Trent Edwards Bills Stanford 4 4 103 Isaiah Stanback Cowboys Washington 5 14 151 Jeff Rowe Bengals Nevada 5 37 174 Troy Smith Ravens Ohio State 6 31 205 Jordan Palmer Redskins Texas-El Paso 7 7 217 Tyler Thigpen Vikings Coastal Carolina

Thanks, I won't waste any more time routing for the Raiders this year

Was it a first round pick in 2010 or 2011? Really hate the Raiders but I've been routing for them because of the pick. Would hate to have to route for them again next year if it is a 2011 pick.

Maybe Singletary has scared him into always playing his best, not just during the second half of seasons before he becomes a fa

Normally the best thing about light beer is there is NONE in my refigerator. Unfortunately some Coors Light found its way into my cooler at the Bears preseason game and now sits in my fridge. It will be free to anyone who has the bad taste to like it at the Bucs game, although presumably some regular at my tailgate likes it or it wouldn't have ended up in my cooler. Or maybe some one was just busting my chops or trying to piss me off.

Am I hopelessly stuck in the past or do others like music from that era? Yes to both questions

Never thought I would look back at the Phillips era and think of it as the good old days.

Maybe but I still have fond memories of it. During my nephew's freshman (sophmore?) year in high school we woud watch the game every Saturday night. He's grown now and we go to all the Bills games but we really bonded watching those games. Go Tommy Maddox!

still is

Marvcus Patton had a nice career after leaving the Bills, though probably not what you'd call big time money. Marcellus Wiley as well.

Kind of reminds me of Scott Mitchell

I thought you meant Sally Fields, must be getting old

there you have it - this sums it up nicely
