  1. My sister was at some community function with a bunch of Bills players once, one player per table, and Kirby was at hers. One person from each table won that player's jersey and my sister won it. Not sure if she still has it though.
  2. Ordered via The Sports Look - a Bills merchandise store that was here in Rochester for a few years on West Henrietta Road near Marketplace Mall. My wife has a Beebe one just like it.
  3. It is indeed - purchased in 1991, ordered direct from Champion (the only way to get authentics back then). Still in pristine condition. It's tucked in because they made them VERY long - goes down to my knees. I was going to get a Phil Hansen, but my sister did so I had to be different. Side note - my first ever post on TSW was in the Trading Post, trying to sell that very jersey. Now I'm so glad I didn't get any takers. I assume it will be available soon. I know it will be an article - they said the pic they use might even be the cover. Having video was news to me. Jim Kelly's funniest line was "The only time I was ever on the cover of SI I was wearing a New Jersey Generals uniform - a team I never even played for!"
  4. One more pic: Considered the kilt but it's more of a game-day thing. Heitz, if it helps you at all, I went commando.
  5. Got a call from my front-office guy Monday saying SI would be doing an interview/photo shoot with Rex at the Big Tree for an article on the optimism in Buffalo since he arrived and asking if I wanted to be in the photo. Had to keep it on the down-low to avoid a stampede. Well DUH! Found out the next day that Jim & Thurman would also be included. So I took the day off and headed to Buffalo. The SI reporter talked to Rex at a back table while the assembled volunteers did what we do - had a few beers and talked Bills. Pinto Kenny was there, as were "The Chefs". Chatted with Jim & Thurman a bit. When the solo interview was over, they all went to a table, had some wings, and talked in front of the camera for about half an hour. Discussed how the Bills are so integral to the community and how Rex is fitting in, how Rex compares to Marv and the current team to the 90s version. Sounds like both Jim & Thurman are involved quite a bit - Thurman's first meeting with Rex turned into a film session on a QB they were looking at (but refused to name). Jim stressed the need for internal leadership, and of course a QB who could use all those weapons. Seemed like there were no tears shed when Marrone left. After that they arranged the assembled fans behind the 3 while they snapped pics. Jim seems to be doing very well - was very energetic and looks to have put back some of the weight he lost during treatment. It was a very cool way to spend a few hours.
  6. Oh the stories that basement bar could tell.
  7. They think they can get to 60,000 season tickets. The record is just over 57,000
  8. November 1970, loss to the Bengals at the Rockpile. OJ ripped up a knee on a kickoff return and the Bills pretty much gave it up after that. Our seats were right behind the Bills bench and they brought OJ off right in front of us. Still have the pennant.
  9. Bump. 2 weeks til I #BraveTheShave. I topped $1000 in donations and am eternally grateful to all who have already contributed, but I'm not done. So there's still some time - sponsor me if the spirit moves you. I mean... come on - look at this face! Thank you for your time and attention.

  11. If we did get in as the extra team and not one of the top 6, would the end of our streak come with an asterisk?

  13. Wrong bears, Jack. Koalas eat eucalyptus not bamboo
  14. How this worked last year (and I hope it will work again this year) I get a number of tickets we are likely to use and give that to the Bills along with where we want the tickets to be (we were in 338 last year) The Bills reserve that many tickets for us and give us a special link and password for people to use I send the link and password to people who signed up so they can purchase their tickets from the block via ticketmaster. This way all money and delivery is handled by them, and all seats are guaranteed to be together. Once tickets in the block are gone, we're done. If some go unsold the ticket office reclaims them on a given date
  15. Having a really strong cabinet can make up for the deficiencies of the president - we just need a 'manage the country' president who won't lose game for us.
