Interesting that the sentiment here seems to be our team was simply named after a cowboy who was famous for killing buffalo. Buffalo Bill Cody was the most famous American in the world for decades. He was a pony express rider, a decorated civil war scout, an extraordinary marksman, and an adviser on the American frontier to every President under whom he served. He was also the architect of the greatest Wild West show the world had ever seen, literally shipping the American West experience to countries overseas earning him friendships with kings, queens, and nobility around the world. Not even Bill himself would deny he had a checkered past - this is the 1800s Wild West after all, where 'heroes' like Jesse James and Billy the Kid held reverence. But I'm actually really proud my favorite football team holds a lineage with such a remarkable yet apparently mostly forgotten figure.

2 General for coloradobillsfan please One arriving when you open, the other about 2pm - if you can get us together great, if not no big deal

It's how many years later now, and this still makes me nun-punching mad if I think about it long enough

> Police are good and bad, but they are still just people. They do not change and become morally superior once they put their uniforms on. They are still the good and bad people they were the night before. This made me think of the Stanford Prison Experiment

when I see a bills or sabres hat walking the other way at the airport I'll spin around and chase them down for a high-five and lets go buff a lo wouldn't trade it for anything in the world

Ditto, and I have absolutely zero doubt that this is a tactic to limit their losses. I have a friend who was successful after multiple tries, but I have refreshed it dozens of times today

Was blown away by this show last night in Denver If you're in WNY and have an opportunity to catch the show in Toronto on 4/26... believe me you will get your moneys worth

I was just going to post about the Weber Smokey Mountain... I have been using mine for almost 16 years now, these things are damn near bulletproof. I've cooked the gamut : ribs, 12 hour briskets, chicken, fish. You can even break it down and use it as a grill to sear steaks. Use Chris Allingham's 'Virtual Weber Bullet' web site for resources; it's very well designed http://virtualweberbullet.com/ Happy smokin'

For the last 15 years I've been coming home to Buffalo for the game closest to Christmas, to be back with my friends and family that live in WNY. Guess how the Bills are usually doing by this time of year? So yeah, the tailgating is a pretty important factor to me attending a game that means pretty much nothing in the standings, aside from being occasional spoilers. The great times we have in the lots makes it worthwhile

Nine years is not enough. Who will feel comfortable when this guy gets out?? His freedom on Earth should be done, over with, kaput. No place on this planet for someone who is this cold

the wind, which was fierce at times, blew huge amounts of snow off Lake Erie which had frozen over. so the snow totals were relatively low, but the drifts that piled up against houses and buildings were truly immense.

two td's but who's counting

> Every year we have this game where we win and I could care less If you could, why don't you? Sorry, pet peeve

some info here https://www.facebook.com/Downtown-Philadelphia-Buffalo-Bills-Backers-130449452834/ have fun be safe and go Bills!

In the hunt!

I walked by this place during my trip to London last year, would be very curious to know if they are any good too!

was the HAMMER sign ever found/returned?

I hate the train whistle, it certainly detracts from the game day experience. (and I love trains)

2 General please Thanks Hammer

If you're listening online through the web browser app, on the bottom left (by the play/stop button, and volume control) it will say "Commercial Break" when they are in commercials, so I usually hit Mute when I hear them talking about what's coming up after the break, then un-Mute when I see those words disappear. It's not perfect, sometimes I'll catch the last half of a commercial or so, but it's worth it to not take the full brunt of those awful ads.

and the award for most unsettled qb position in the nfl goes to....

the more the news sinks in, surprisingly, the better I feel. I'm still shedding an occasional tear - but what an amazing life and legacy. And how lucky were we to have him with us for so long! his music will always be around to help those who need it to get through tough times. and even when you're feeling good, the blues can still be your best friend. knowing that generations to come will still have this warms my soul. thank you Mr. King

there is nothing even in the same solar system as Wegmans out here in Colorado

Now the Bills are secure, it's not nearly as much of an issue but I've met a ton of cool Canadian fans at the Ralph who come down and support the Bills because they love the atmosphere and have embraced the team (even through all these losing years). I enjoy that cross-border camaraderie and although I'm sure some would still continue to come to Buffalo, I'd hate to see anything that would jeopardize or dilute that.
