  1. I heard this exchange as it happened. They went on and on and on and on over a distinction without a difference.
  2. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,It's a gas, gas, gas.
  3. On the contrary, 'the Bills' may be best name in the NFL. Because virtually nobody (except established fans) knows what the name refers to, it is in the abstract realm and thus can be anything you make of it. So, whereas a Lion is a lion and a Cowboy is a cowboy, a Bill is up to you...and to you...and to you. That's why 'the Bills' make me want to shout!
  4. Barbara Streisand is a diva. All I know about Whitney Houston is that she sang the anthem at the Bills first Super Bowl, and that she's not singing at Super Bowls any more.
  5. I prefer to avoid them like the plague. When it was reported (for a few hours) that AB was coming to Buffalo, I was bummed out, actually sad/mad. Buffalo just isn't a diva town, thank God.
  6. Divas, themselves, bore me to tears, but it fascinates me that we associate 'diva' with 'wide receiver'. Does playing WR turn a man into a diva? Or do natural born divas somehow gravitate towards wide receiver? As a rabid Bills fan, but a casual fan of football at large, I don't keep track of all the melodrama in the NFL. So I am sure there are divas at other positions in the league. But the prominent ones -- T.O., A.B., O.B.J -- all play the same position. Why is that?
  7. Where is Colton Schmidt? He was better than anything they've replaced him with.
  8. Go get 'em, Shady. You were a great Buffalo Bill.
  9. You misquoted 'Buffaloed." He never said "just seen it." He said "Just seen on Pro Football Talk." The subject (Kelly suspended) was implied, since it was in the subject line. Apologies are overdue.
  10. There is only one sane response to fantasy sports talk on the radio: click.
  11. While Barry Sanders was making his 3rd cute move at the line of scrimmage, OJ was already a step past the linebacker. Nobody ran as effortlessly. He was like minimalist poetry.
  12. Don't worry; be happy. The Bills, right now, are in good hands.
  13. https://www.insidehook.com/article/sports/so-a-guy-visits-every-professional-sports-stadium-in-america Best Tailgate Scene “Tailgating, I think I would point to Buffalo. I really liked the way the whole town felt like a Bills parking lot. It felt like you were outside the stadium all over town on the morning of the game. You could see people in their gear getting ready to head out to the stadium. Then, when you get near the stadium, there’s a lot of homes that let you park on their lawn for five or 10 bucks and people set up chairs and set up barbecues. You feel like you’re walking through someone’s barbecue basically. It’s usually bitter cold up there and they’re all huddled together and they’ve all got their woolens on. It’s a pretty cool scene.”
  14. Team MVP on a local level is not the issue. The way the man played gunner changed 1/3 of the NFL game forever.
  15. Except that Todd Collins did not revolutionize the way one-third of the game is played.
  16. Rod Hill, a cornerback who had been a first round draft choice by Dallas in the early 80's. (After a year or two, Dallas traded him to the Bills.) Met him in a bar in Middleport, NY. (Jim Haslett owned property nearby and was often seen around the area with other Bills in tow.) Very quiet demeanor and he seemed too thin for an NFL player, at any position. He asked me for a cigarette because he was trying to quit and didn't want to buy a full pack.
  17. I have seen every Bills game since 1963, and I consider the Leon Lett run-down as the single most iconic play in Bills history. While unsuccessfully attempting to chip away at the statue of a Bills hero, you have managed to define yourself.
  18. I hope he succeeds, and proves the whole sorry lot of you wrong.
  19. Godspeed, Pancho Billa. You've meant, and you mean, much to many.
  20. Sorry for your loss. Radio is my favorite medium by far.
  21. I like both Murph and Tasker. Come to think of it, I like them a lot. And I don't think the alternative names mentioned in these posts would be an improvement over the long haul. What I would rather see replaced is the duo that occupies the 3:00 to 7:00 slot. I would listen to caterwauling cats scraping their claws over blackboards before I would listen to those two.
  22. To be that big, that bad, and that thoughtful -- all at the same time -- is special indeed. Kyle will be proud of him.
  23. "The Collectors." (Formally "The Bill Collectors," with "Bill" being understood and unspoken).
