  1. A little off-topic, but New Era-related: I wouldn't go see the Rolling Stones if they were playing in my garage.
  2. Damn! I think it's time the waiters should start tipping me.
  3. I lived in the area for over 7 years before I even watched a Bills game. Then one Sunday afternoon in 1960, my Dad turned on our 12-inch black & white TV...
  4. No matter how tall and fat they are, there are a lot of small people around here.
  5. What nattering nabobs of negativism are we letting in?
  6. Wherever Ralph turned, the grass was getting greener -- over there...and there...and there. But his heart kept the team in a shrinking market when his wallet urged him to move. Ralph was a complex man, a hard-headed man, and nobody's fool. Say it however you might, Buffalo has been exceedingly lucky and/or blessed to have the Wilsons and now the Pegulas.
  7. Splurged for a new antenna -- $25 on Amazon, with excellent reviews -- and a Genny six-pack from Consumer Beverages. It doesn't get any better than that.
  8. Shady was a good soldier in Buffalo, and I wish him all the best.
  9. If we get Derrick Henry we get the Lombardi. If Tennessee doesn't franchise him, then we should outbid everybody else to sign him. With this defense, with Allen coming into his own, and with Derrick Henry in the backfield, our Super Bowl record jumps to a sparkling 1-4. This idea is not as far-fetched as it might seem. Henry is 26, the age at which teams begin to be leery of overpaying running backs. It might be that Henry could be signed for less than Sammy Watkins money ($16m per). Let that sink in: less than Sammy freakin' Watkins.
  10. Maybe it was the "F*%k Trump" hat. Kaepernick also tried to tussle with Orange Man; last seen he was somewhere in Georgia on a high school field, throwing make-believe passes in his shorts.
  11. I will never forget Dion Dawkins running down the sideline, following our punt returner (Marcus Murphy?) who was heading for a touchdown. He brings joyousness to a game that can often seem businesslike, even grim.
  12. This may be the best title in the history of language. But, sadly, it may signal the end of Two Bills Drive. Why carry on when, from such a lofty summit, the only direction is down.
  13. After a recent Buffalo blizzard, Josh Allen could not back his Ford Super Duty dually out of the driveway. So he picked it up and carried it to Orchard Park, arriving just in time for practice.
  14. I am convinced that 300-yarders are guys who couldn't get a date to the prom.
  15. Whenever they play an audio clip of a Buffalo Sabre making a comment, they then spend the next couple of minutes yucking it up, trying to guess whose voice it is. Schopp, ever cool in his own estimation, guesses cultural figures past and present: Ronald Reagan, Lou Ferrigno, Yogi Berra, Dolly Parton. They employ a buzzer (wrong guess) and a triangle sound (right guess) to enhance their disrespect.
  16. "Don't go inside before you coincide with some fresh, hot peanuts!"
