  1. My favorite one of these stories:

     

    I was at a bar in Winston-Salem NC and it was just me and some other guy watching the BIlls game. We got to talking and he had a really thick southern accent so I asked him, "How did you end up becoming a Bills fan"??

     

    His response: "Welp, my name's Bill"

     

    He went on to explain that when he was a kid he got a pencil that said "Bills" on it in school. He thought it was pretty cool and has been rooting for them ever since. Cracked me up.

  2. This is true. The segment with Chris Dimino was hilarious.

     

    Honestly, there are a lot of parallells to be drawn between those 90's Braves and the Bills of that era. The enthusiasm at the beginning of the Braves run was off-the-charts, especially in 1991 - the worst to first season. After a while, the fans just got used to winning and interest died off. The same thing happened to the Bills throughout the 90's. Let's not forget, the Frank Reich Comeback Game was NOT sold out and blacked out locally.

     

    The big difference between the two is this: Now that they are bad, there is zero enthusiasm for the Braves, while the Bills have somehow become even more popular.

     

     

    What is your perspective of Atlanta?

     

    The local sports talk guys had Dan on the radio on Tuesday. They actually did a good job of ripping him apart and making him look really foolish and lazy.

  3. Kyle Williams, Eric Moulds, & Ruben Brown with Moulds being the most worthy. He came out of that great draft class for receivers in 1996 and he was as good as any of them with the exception of Terrel Owens. That includes Marvin Harrison who had the good fortune of being paired with Peyton Manning for years. Moulds, on the other hand, was great with multiple QB's (Flutie, Johnson, Bledsoe) and a variety of offensive systems. Plus, he passes the eye test. He was a ton of fun to watch. Also. don't forget, he held the NFL record for receiving yards in a playoff game with 240.

  4. Welp, it looks like TBD will have to start including stories from People Magazine!

    "Although Kroy is so excited as I am (my parents grew up there, half my family still lives there) never mind the fact the fans are AWESOME, the team is AWESOME and my hubby is ecstatic ... It was hard to say good bye!"

  5. Dont expect anything great out of Biermann. Atlanta's D has been their problem, and he's been a part of that. He was all but run out of town.

     

    That said, we need the body to get us through the next 4-6 weeks, and he's probably the best value vet available.

     

    As an Atlantan, I can tell you this is 100% true.

    However, as someone who has also ruptured his Achilles tendon, I can also tell you that it takes a few years to get back to full speed. He should be better this year.

  6. Does anyone else remember the last game in Toronto? I'm so glad Stevie and Chandler are gone. The only thing that you could count on with Stevie is that you couldn't count on him in crunch time. He was the Fitz of receivers.

     

    I liked Stevie and always hoped for him to come up big in a big situation. I just don't ever remember it happening.
