rockpile

I miss the good old days of shooting the breeze at our campsites at Hammer's Lot until my wife hollered at us to shut up! I think you, me, and Ken closed the Big Tree that night.

Me too, Doc! Mr. WEO, I agree with you that multibillionaires should pay for their new stadiums, but "you may say I'm a dreamer..."

The "build me a new stadium or I will take my team and go elsewhere" goes back to the Rockpile and Rich Stadium. They will work out a deal. The topic comes up every couple years. If I am wrong, I am done with the NFL. I am confident that a deal will be worked out and The Bills will stay in Buffalo. That said, who owns the Bills name, team franchise history and NFL records? The Colts name, logo, and history moved with the team to Indianapolis. The Browns retained all rights to their history with Cleveland. The Colts history is with Indianapolis, with a just tip of the hat to the the city of Baltimore. who now have only Ravens stats. Indianapolis Colts (Baltimore Colts - 1953-1983) Edgerrin James (1999-2005) Art Donovan (1953-1961) Bill Polian (1998-2011) Don Shula (1963-1969) Eric Dickerson (1987-1991) George Young (1968-1974) Gino Marchetti (1953-1964, 1966) Jim Parker (1957-1967) Joe Perry (1961-1962) John Mackey (1963-1971) Johnny Unitas (1956-1972) Lenny Moore (1956-1967) Marshall Faulk (1994-98) Marvin Harrison (1996-2008) Peyton Manning (1998-2011) Raymond Berry (1955-1967) Richard Dent (1996) Ted Hendricks (1969-1973) Tony Dungy (2002-08) Weeb Ewbank (1954-1962)

Thanks, maybe another time!

Irondequoit. Coming in with family from Canandaigua.

Dan used to play Santa at the Christmas party. Big Dan did not need any padding under his suit! 😁 It was a bar/restaurant but during dinner hours it was a real neighborhood pub. 😀 Many times after supper during the week when it was slower, the Moms would visit in the dining room while kids played and the Dads moved into the bar area. Early sixties reality was not Leave it to Beaver, but working class family values were strong. The building is not even there anymore.

Please put me down for one Prime Spot if still available. Thank you!

Only works well if they wear the blue helmet with the red pajamas uniform. <gag>

I will make it to the tailgate, but possibly needing to park somewhere else because of timing only.

When I was a kid, the corner family pub in Hamburg on Lake Shore (Wanakah) was the Cloverbank Hotel. In those days it was common to have a family dining room, separated from the bar with a wall. We got mostly Fish Fries and beef sandwiches for dinner. The way I remember it being ordered, beef on weck was a sliced beef sandwich on white bread with mashed potatoes, drowned in gravy. This was meant to be eaten with a fork. Beef on Kummelweck then was what we know today as simply Beef on Weck, with the salty roll, but that was over 50 yeas ago .

Hi, Bob! A lot of Silence of the Lambs imagery there!

See you there (and please bring my tickets!)

Wow! Tough crowd!

I guess I am an average fan, with some high points. My father was a founder of the Buffalo Bills Boosters Club, Inc. in 1960. I wear his Boosters coat to snow games. I went to many games at the Rockpile. I was escorted out of one game for throwing snowballs at the Dolphins. I went to games during the 80's drought. I watched the comeback game standing in a bar to the finish. I have been with TBD since day one. I have been to all but one or two TBDAHOTs and camped out at Hammers for several. I am a cofounder of the WNYTBDGPS. But I am not great at names and Jersey numbers. I do not go crazy about the draft, although I did get suite tickets in 2001 for the draft. I am a Lot One Pole 6 veteran. I do not post at TBD as often as I used to, but I enjoy the comments of those who have something to say. I took the stage the year there was a band on game day and sang Funk 49 by the James Gang. There is something kind of cool hearing your daughter yell "Mom, Dad's on stage singing with the band. " So I am an unusual average fan, I guess.

Prayers for her well being. I met you, Cindy, AiO, Jay, and many other TBD old timers at St. John Fisher training camp. I first met Jay when I wore a Bills Jersey with "Rockpile" on the back. I met quite a few people when wearing that shirt! I am mostly a lurker these days.

I was a pony tail with braids kind of guy. Now I just shave what little hair is left. BTW, in the 90's, kids were calling bald top old guys with gray pony tails hair style a "skullet".

A lot of "old" television shows that were very popular, were really only good for one (sometimes two) seasons before they jumped the shark. Also, threading that AKAI with new tape when you were stoned could take quite a while. 😁

He needs to relax a bit. You can see he really wants this!

It will be interesting to see when more tickets become available and at what price!

I will see you all there! 👍

Drum Roll Please! The total raised for the 2021 MS Walk was $ 906.50! It was a very successful year as always. We took no pictures just to piss off Jack. We will be doing another virtual walk in Connecticut in a few weeks to see "Babyrock" and family. We may post some pictures then! Thank you to my TBD sponsors: Greybeard Mr Info Jack Be happy, healthy, and safe. Maybe I will see you at the Bills home opener at Hammers Lot!

MS Walk will be starting soon. It's not too late too sponsor me if you want. Thank you to those who contributed. TSW Rocks!

I am counting on things getting better. 👍

Thank You! We have a goal of $1500, and (with checks being processed) we are up to $827. The MS Walk is three days away.

I will be there. Depending on vaccination requirements - I am hoping everyone with me has the vaccine before then!
