Year: 2007
Opponent: Jets
Score: 17-14 Bills
It was a nice sunny day in late September in Buffalo. I remember sitting in the end zone, in the lower part.
The Bills got an interception on the Jets last drive to finish the game. It was great seeing the stadium erupt.
I think I bought season tickets the following season.
My first trip to Buffalo (with my wife) for a Bills game!
My first Bills game - as have been many of my Bills games, including last season - was in Indianapolis, 1991:

Something old, something new(er), something borrowed (covered), something blue
I'm a big fan of Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats; first heard about them in 2015 when their debut album was released. I got to see them up in Peoria, IL in December 2016 play for about 300 people and it was a fantastic show full of energy. 'Coolin' Out' features Lucius on backing vocals; that band is one of the supporting acts for The Night Sweats. The 'Atlantic City' cover is from "The Tonight Show" sessions, as Jimmy Fallon is a big supporter of the band. They are signed to the Staxx Label and their Soul/R 'n' B sound really exemplifies the label's history.
For context, their hit song 'SOB' (posted earlier) is about Rateliff's struggles with alcohol; how he had to kick it or booze would likely kill him.

Good find, a lot of people forget about this game. I also look for old Bills games in the off season to get my fix, thanks for sharing
I've filled up my YouTube with lots of users with old Buffalo Bills/NFL content. Here's a few (be sure to click on 'Videos' to see their whole library)...
Andy Provin - To me, the most comprehensive Buffalo Bills video content you'll find: Games, highlight films, compilation videos (Obscure Bills QBs who threw a TD and video of the throw(s), for example).
John-Paul Müller - Buffalo Bills Late-80s through 2002 (not every year but a lot of the Bills heyday).
FRANTHESCRAM - Name suggests a Vikings fan, but a TON of old NFL GOTWs and other shows.
jstube36 - More great content (TWIPF with Summerall and Brookshire), plus late-40s/early-50s content.
Comrade Dobler - Classic Cleveland Browns content.
Randy Fast - Lots of Bud Grant-era Vikings videos.
Grey Beard - Even more classic stuff.
And, if you need your fix of NFL Films music (and you think Sam Spence was the only one who created great scores for the films), then Dave Volsky is your hookup. He has developed several playlists of the music that you can click on and enjoy for hours. I've taken a several of them and converted to MP3 and have on a thumb drive I'll bring with me to the Home Opener.
I have many more but that's a good starter to satisfy a classic NFL fan's needs.

I'm a big fan of Silicon Valley. My last job was at a health system that utilized SWOTs so I can relate to it like DC Tom.
This is another brilliant piece of TV/Movies by Mike Judge (executive producer I think). Gilfoyle is my favorite character on the show.

I'm on the job search here in Central Illinois and I use Indeed-dot-com and find a variety of openings that way.

Anyone else not look closely at the thread title and think Pinto Kenny brought in a ringer for gameday bowling ball shots?

Get rid of Billy the Buffalo (created in 2000, I believe) and the Bills curse will go away.

Penn and Teller did an episode of their series "Bulls..." on MLMs. I remember it being pretty informative (sorry, no link).

If Gugny's kid doesn't pan out check with the Herlihy boy. He's always looking for work and he does more than yard work:

First Bills game, 1991 at Indianapolis: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199112150clt.htm This was the height of the Super Bowl era, where they cruised to a Sunday Night victory over the Colts.
My first game in Buffalo was 2007 vs the Jets: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200709300buf.htm This was the beginning of the all-too-short Trent Edwards fandom, a few weeks after Kevin Everett's injury.
I've additionally seen the Bills play in St. Louis and Green Bay; I hope to get back to Buffalo for a game someday soon and take a weekend to enjoy the area besides Niagara Falls.

Lulu was JD Hogg's wife's name. Coy and Vance were the replacement Duke cousins when Tom Wopat and John Schneider held out for more money.
-
They left out "The Man With One Red Shoe" as well.
-
If I recall, the league won't choose teams with a new coach, so that would eliminate the Bills. Since Pettine is in year two the Browns would be eligible (although the league could throw out the rules and pick a team).

Outstanding!

How is Lisa's last name pronounced?

I agree with the recommendation of 'True Detective'. Fantastic series that feels slow to start, has some weird elements but finishes strong.
-
Ralph is great!
-
Luvale Sape? DT, I believe. Claim to fame was a blocked punt vs Cincinnati that resulted in a TD (could be wrong on all of this).
Also, I'll always remember Yonell Jourdain, who had playing time as a returner. Jourdain went to my alma mater, Southern Illinois University- the Salukis.

I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six-four Impala.
