[Great story on the guy who recorded Bills' Shout song...]

Scott Kemper uploaded a video of him singing the song recently:

 

 

Still has the pipes!

[The first down bell at RWS]

Didn't they have a "crowd assist" counter on the Jumbotron last year for every time the crowd forced the opposing team to take a timeout? That was missing last week and they should bring it back

[Rex called Marquise Goodwin "McRib" in presser?]

McRib as in...you can only find him once a year?

 

That's appropriate.

[Wifi at the Ralph]

 

There's an invention they have that allows you to listen to games. No app required.

 

Should we get off your lawn, sir

[Wifi at the Ralph]

It worked great for me today!

[Lou Saban Named to the Bills' Wall of Fame]

Lou's family looked very surprised and very happy when the tarp came up - good on the Bills for doing this.

[Problems at the Ralph]

Go in early - about 15 minutes before kickoff the stadium was only about half full.

 

Everyone drinking outside and coming in at the last minute is why you can't get in smoothly. Come in early and avoid that.

This was going to be the replacement song when we were going to lose "Shout" to Polaroid:

It wasn’t just players who got emotional over the song. In 1993, after Polaroid bought the rights to the “Shout!” tune, the team and the Singer agency turned back to ASA Productions to create a new jingle. Airis and Kemper produced a remake of the 1962 Ernie Maresca song “Shout! Shout! (Knock Yourself Out).”

The producers liked it but fans hated the song. They launched a small revolution, campaigning for the return of “Shout!”

Singer called a Polaroid public-relations executive to ask for regional rights to the song. She recalls the PR person snickering and telling her, “You lost the Super Bowl three times. Maybe you should have gotten rid of the song.”

Singer sent a letter to the CEO of Polaroid, including that quote from the company’s publicist and politely asking for the regional rights.

Two weeks later, the Bills had their song back.

Scott Kemper.

 

He had no idea the song was still so popular in 2015 when the interviewer called him. Wild.

 

Bills should get him to perform the song at a game!

 

I didn't know he did a version of the song for the Indiana Pacers:

I also didn't know this about the "Making it Happen" lyric:

 

 

Airis, on behalf of ASA Productions (Kemper was an employee, but not yet an owner), pitched Singer several hit-song remake possibilities. “Shout!” was the one that stood out, so Singer had her agency’s copywriters tweak the lyrics to make it Bills-specific and include the “making it happen” slogan of Marine Midland Bank, which was one of the team’s sponsors. (That’s the genesis of the line “the Bills are making it happen now.”)

 

 

We've been promoting Marine Midland all these years! I feel dirty and used.

 

 

[Pats are ruining love of NFL]

The fact that we suffered miserably for the last decade because the Patriots had an unfair advantage is infuriating.

 

The fact that Goodell covered it up is inexcusable.

 

A criminal investigation is warranted.

[Should the Bills sign Tim Tebow?]

Costs nothing, couldn't hurt...right?

[EJ for RG3? Please don't let this happen.]

RGIII has a scrambled brain - he'll never be the same again

[Steelers Sign Michael Vick]

Bills should have worked him out

[After the Browns game, who do you want as Bills starting QB?]

Let's see where the fanbase stands after that.

 

I am conflicted.

[Is preseason best for kids first game?]

StubHub has preseason tickets for dirt cheap

[Rex Ryan says they will probably keep 3 QBs on the roster]

[If EJ gets released what will your reaction be?]

Where is the option for "he was always terrible and now that Ralph's dead we don't have to continue doing favors for Bruce Smith's Godson"

There is no God.

[Jillian Barberi just admitted to be a Buffalo Bills fan.....]

[Ted Black out: Russ Brandon to head Sabres and Bills]

Brandon is all about publicity stunts to sell tickets and jerseys like when he signed TO.

 

Dude cares about the bottom line, not about whether a team wins or loses. That is a bad thing.

serviceman and his wife of 59 years

 

You weren't in the army - don't refer to yourself as a serviceman.

 

Why are postmen always the most entitled pricks? You had one of the easiest jobs and got a generous pension - you have absolutely nothing to complain about, so you're complaining about a small inconvenience like it's life-altering.
