    If it was at the rock pile it was 72 or earlier.

    Yeh I thought it was earlier, but thought the Bills scored more that game.  Must have been '72 then and I would have been eight...  Makes more sense...

    Ah, that game.  I remember OJ saying Let's come back in 10 years and honor the 10th Anniversary of the Bills Super Bowl win and the 30th Anniversary of the 2000 yard season.....................Loved him.  But, then 6 months later, something changed about my perception of him.  

     

     

    And, it sure wasn't Dennis Shaw in '75.  

    Yeh had to have been 72

  2. I think it must have been 1975, November 17 Bills lost 33-24, but I remember OJ running for a lot of yards and Denis Shaw was the QB.  I was a relatively warm fall day at the old rock pile. I would have been 11 years old.

    My wife's best friend was treated for, and looked like she had beaten the bladder cancer.  She died suddenly from an unrelated heart attack.   My thoughts and prayers are with you for your chemo.  It sounds as if your chemo is to be what is called adjuvant chemotherapy.  With no cancer detected outside the bladder area, the assumption is they got all of it, but the chemo is a bit of insurance in case a few cells have migrated to other parts of the body, but have not grown to detectable levels.  The chemo is to try and kill them.  That was the purpose of my chemo.  I finished it up 2 years ago this month.  Take good care of yourself during chemo.  Cancer cells thrive in the presence of sugar, so take it easy on candy, cookies and dessert.  The effects of chemo are cumulative, so after your first session you may think it's a piece of cake.  Get adequate sleep and eat right from day one.  As the effects build up, listen to your body, and make sure you get the rest you need.  Do the best you can to make sure you're not exposed to people with illnesses, especially as the chemo progresses.  It will depress your body's ability to make white blood cells.  Your white blood cell count will start to drop, and you'll pick up illnesses more easily.

    Agreed was told I will need to take off from work during second round... Im relatively young 55 in 2 weeks and otherwise in good health.  Work out four days a week and now am cutting way down on sugars, way up on veggies and and low acid fruits... cutting down on carbs as well.  My wife is an OR nurse and former oncology nurse so she is cracking the whip.  TY for all the good advice... reinforces everything I have been told.

  4. I start chemo and rad therapy in a week for a stage 3 bladder tumor that was removed.  I had a diverticulum of my bladder where the tumor showed up and though it was encapsulated it perforated the out wall.  No sign it has spread from its margins but because it extended outside the wall it is considered stage 3.  Stats are iffy because where it is, just not a lot of cases.  But CT scan showed no evidence of spread and lymph nodes appeared normal.  So we are hoping for it to be cured... just going thru the go thru...  Ill say my prayers for the above to be successful as well.

  5. Pay is close, benefits and health coverage unsure of.  Just looked it up. Does FLA protect pre-existing conditions? Maybe after my kids get out of school... I married late and kids are still in High School

    But I get it....took me 29 years to realize my dream....sometimes there are many things outa our control.

    Agree about the rink.....Does the Tampa Bay Lightening ring a bell??  Florida Panthers?  Seriously there are beer leagues galore in some areas.....

     

    Employment - what a crazy thing never woulda thought the sheer number of jobs available here....if i wanted to go back to work it would be an easy thing for sure.  I will def get a duffer job at some point....can only go to the beach so often, can't believe I typed that!!!  Lol  Seriously tho there is a plethora of jobs here...

     

    Ya I get it - you either love or hate it.....totally get that.  I really wanted to live in the West too but really like the water aspect over the desert....like you said to each his own.

    Pay for my kind of work plus benefits not as good... xray/CT

    When you can introduce me to the dude who is shoveling heat and scrapping humidity off his windshield?  THEN we will talk......all I hear is Oh it is so hot....well maybe during the day it is buy guess what?  At night i am outside enjoying the weather.  You my friend are shacked up inside from 5 to 6 months....that I GLADLY traded!!!  Oh and the tax savings?  I get to drink better beers without the agony of the price!  To each his own.....having done the WNY deal from 35 years. I can only say my quality of live improved 110%.

    Precisely what I did.....I was also lucky enough to retire early due to the lower cost of living down here......the beach is nice....the snow not so...

    I love the snow... btw tongue in cheek remark.. not into Fla but that is just me... and my thought is raising kids in NY for schools and work benefits... will probably retire in a warmer climate... or a little further north than Fla, though more likely out West... just my preference... to each his own.  Understand wanting to be by the water.  Also I still require a nearby ice rink... not sure about that in Fla.

    Lived in Crotchfester from 1985 till 2018.  Had season tixs from 1985 till 2008.  Now is sunny Florida where there are almost NO taxes compared to King Cuomo's reign.  He made me leave.

    Ah moved down to the bone factory state where people up North go to die...  just kidding... but you have the heat and the hurricanes... I'll take the snow and higher taxes any day...

    Oh boy ....  

    Baker Mayfield’s defense of Odell Beckham tears down Giants ...

     

    “He’s here to work, and he wants to be surrounded by people who love and support him and allow him to be himself,” Mayfield said. “He’s here to play in front of fans who actually care, who will actually show up to every game and pack the stadium and love him for who he is.”

     

    Oh OBJ 

     

    “I just felt with the Giants I was just stuck at a place that wasn’t working for me anymore,” Beckham told Complex UK recently. “I felt like I wasn’t going to be able to reach my full potential there — mentally, physically, spiritually, everything I felt capable of doing, I just couldn’t see it happening there. So I think allowing me to be in an environment where I can be myself and give it a different approach, I feel like my football will benefit.”

     

    Quit being an asshat and the mental and spiritual growth will come 

    He was targeted a ridiculous over 450 times in 3 years, never starting 16 games because of "ailments" and had only a 50 catch %,  guy needs to learn to hold on to the ball, especially in crunch time he is severely not prime time.  Watch BO throw Baker under the bus as soon as BO fails.  Watched him too long in NYC... called him garbage time.

    I live about 5 minutes from the stadium. 

     

    I’m genuinely shocked by this thread with how few people are from Buffalo.  Not in a negative way, just didn’t realize how spread out the members are. 

    I have found Bills bars in NYC, DC, Bastan, TX, Cali, Seattle and having driven across country 5 times... bumper stickers and people with shirts and hats... literally we are everywhere... even in Europe

    The only Bills player I’ve ever met was OJ, and I don’t think he counts for this thread.

    Same here, met him in Buffalo Airport walking by himself... got him to sign my Superman comic book... wonder if he was filming one of those Hertz commercials.  Not sure I met any others... have a family deal... my Uncle was drafted by the Baltimore Colts as a defensive end... He won the Ivy League trophy his senior year as mvp of the league.... he joined the Marines instead... they paid more.

  12. Yeh but as a fan if that is what they think can generate revenue in Buffalo, I think they are over estimating the market.  Jests are walking back their psls because of how many folks gave up their seats... NFL may have reached a tipping point where the revenue has been maximized.  Viewership declines lately, over advertising I think is hurting the league.  That can change and so can the Buffalo market... but now imo is not the time to make huge changes, especially in a small market.  It is Pegulas choice of course, but changing the current scene may have economic consequences that may not be able to overcome.

    None of this Stadium talk has anything to do with who you or I want to attend games. It’s based on who the Pegulas and their brain trust decide is their target market to increase the team’s revenues. 

    PSLs have that effect.

    While Buffalo doesn’t have the corporate presence to sell more suites, I disagree on the raising of revenue overall. There is plenty of room for that in this market, which currently has the lowest average ticket price in the league. There is an upscale market that remains largely untapped who simply won’t attend games at the current venue. This is largely due to weather and the presence of a segment of fans that currently goes to the games. This won’t change without a new venue. The stadium isn’t exactly crumbling to the ground, but it’s a woefully outdated relic from a different era of the NFL from a business standpoint. 

    So you want more muffy and chets at Bills games.. great more rich bastages not cheering.

    Yeh if they are going to build a new place, put it downtown, but not because Roger told Buffalo so... he need to turn in his Buffalo heritage card and screw pft
