  1. 2000 for sure. That D would have won the Super Bowl, but they blew it onj a ***** basic kickoff return.
  2. Not good for people that have to work on Saturday. I work Saturday and have Sun-M, T off. So now people have to change work plans too?
  3. Buffalo is as complete a team as any other in the NFL right now. The Super Bowl is not a myth at this point, it is a possibility. Start by winning the division, which almost every critic will agree is Buffalos to be had. Get homefield and a bye, and Buffalo is in position to make it to Tampa.
  4. I understand you view on it and don't necessarily disagree, but my thought is focus on the players overcoming of medical conditions. As it stands, by saying a person has drug addiction history presents a opportunity for social stigma. He overcame the obstacles, yes and that probably made him a better person, but saying his mother struggled paints her in a negative light while trying to promote him in a positive light. She may be the best person ever, did many great things, and had a crutch that many others suffer from too. Struggling with addiction doesn’t mean you are a bad person till you get over it, it just means you have a problem and in many cases you adapt to get through life with it. Hopefully one day you get through it as a better person, but that doesn't make you a bad person in between. It is still up to the individual to make that story. Either way it is personal medical information and shouldn’t be shared
  5. Indeed he did, and that speaks to his character. Did anyone ask his mother what she thought? It was her information they violated, not his.
  6. Way to go ESPN, one of the most important days in a persons life and your network tries to sensationalize it by posting medical information of a players mother. Drug addiction is a medical condition and by posting that information you have violated a persons personal medical history.
  7. It means that he was the go to playmaker and he made it happen when it mattered most. I watched him in the stands many times.
  8. A lot of the video feeds from the Players houses were delayed. Some of the feeds didn't show reactions for nearly 2 minutes after the pick was announced. Its not like they have a crew there sending a live feed with $200, 000 worth of studio gear.
  9. This would have the perfect season for a player strike. At least from the fans perspective.
  10. And as I said. We think we are above nature, but we are not. A hospital system only treats symptoms, it doesnt stop nature from taking its course. Perhaps if we didn’t have 55 million people in an area of the Earth all living off of wet markets we could avoid this. But alas we play the victim, although in reality we are the the reason for the virus. It wouldn’t exist if we didn’t provide the acceptable conditions to promote it.
  11. This Pandemic is no doubt very serious, but at the same time we have to get back to normal at some point. You pick the time, but I will gladly go to the opener in September. At some point we need to let go and say it is what it is. After all, in Nature, only the strong survive. That is after all the whole point of natures viruses.....We think we are above nature, but clearly we are not.
  12. Every other day...
  13. LOL, no not me. I watched the Oilers game at home.
  14. https://www.google.com/maps/@28.4673463,-81.4612532,1311m/data=!3m1!1e3 On Grand National Drive The wings were the best I ever had. Always came out perfect, and that sauce....wow!
  15. This was off International Drive close to Wet N Wild and Universal studios, but on the Opposite side of Kirkman Rd. It was towards Kissimmee area, but still in Orlando. It Would have Been on Grand National drive. https://www.google.com/maps/@28.4673463,-81.4612532,1311m/data=!3m1!1e3
  16. I remember after every TD fans would sing SHOUT, then do a makeshift Hand Gesture That would go ... GO-GO-GO-BUFFALO....SUPER BOWL, which at the time was not just a fan shout, but reality.
  17. Close to where Fun Spot is now. The whole building was torn down many years ago.
  18. Here is a long lasting question I have for Bills fans relocated to Orlando? Do you remember the Sports Page On I’Drive in Orlando? I remember a guy named DODY ran it an it was the place for Bills fans in the early90’s. It was also the best wings I have ever eaten, DODY called them ORLANDO WINGS, but I think they were just Buffalo Wings with Honey. Either way they were the best still to today. This is the place that I remember as a youth watching a Bills game in Florida. I was still in 8th grade, having moved to Orlando area from Buffalo. The Bills were coming into their prime, and my Grandfather and father took me to the Sports Page to watch the games. Buffalo was in the middle of the 89-90 season on the way to the first Super Bowl. I remember being told I was going to the Dolphins at Bills just before Christmas in 90. Kelly was out with a knee injury. Reich was starting. It was cold. I was only 12. This is when I got hooked on Bills football. I went back to Buffalo that season with my father. We attended the Bills Dolphins Game just before Christmas. Kelly was out and that was the talk all week, and MIAMI destroyed Buffalo at the beginning of the season. I went, and witnessed BUFFALO BILLS football coming into relevance. They beat Miami and won the Division and home field. Went to the Super Bowl too....The goal post were torn down. Imagine that as your first live Bills game, the goal posts were torn down by fans on the field. Nothing I have seen since then has ever matched the fans involvement after a win. After that season I remember going to the Sports Page every week in 1991. It was a great atmosphere. The games were all on the TV’s through the satellite dish that had to be positioned to each provider to get the feeds No Sunday Ticket then. It was hit or miss. When the feed finally came in you got to watch the commercials from the provider you tapped in to. So usually it was not local. At this time I was just12-13 years old, and the immediate memory of entering the locale was the smoke from all the cigarettes. It was a complete smoke screen when you entered, but no one cared. That was the mentality of the era, smoke all you want, it doesn’t matter. I got hooked on Bills Football at this point, and no one ever cared a 12 year old was in the smoke filled sports bar with all the other drunk Bills Fans. God forbid that today. After 1991-2 the Sports Page closed and Orlando Bills Backers relocated many times. I was even president once when they were in the Fort Gatlin location, but that was man many years ago. I have always watched games in many clubs since and on Occasion watch at The Harry Buffalo now. I now prefer to watch at home with my son on Streaming, but I always remember the Sports Page on International Drive to be the Best Bills Backers Bar ever.
  19. I’m sure he will be great, maybe 2-3 games before he is out. He already said he may want to sit out this season. Now he can do it paid, just for much less. He’s a injury risk and a head case.
  20. Crazy, my employer just gave me and others a permanent $1.50 raise today because we are so NEEDED at work.
  21. I never really looked into Levi’s playing history before today. Quite impressive that he walked on to Alabama and became a starter while winning the National Championship. Then he goes un drafted in the NFL and makes the team. It takes a lot for Person to do that.
  22. Levi just called him back and talked to him for about 5 minutes. Very classy guy.
