  1. Back in the early 90s - I had always wanted Buffalo to play San Fran in the Super Bowl. Talk about a back order
  2. You, Sir are the first to officially wish me (us) Merry Christmas! Would love to visit your beautiful country some day. By your name - I can tell (Bruce Smith reference) you have been a Bills fan for a while - How awesome a team from WNY can have fans from around the world! Merry Christmas to All and grateful to be waking up on Christmas morning with the Buffalo Bills as Champs of the AFC East!
  3. When they had the Celebrity Roast of Bruce Willis on The Comedy Channel - during his retort to roast back all the celebs - he went out of his way to say it is NOT a Christmas movie.
  4. Also Greece NY here - not far from Van Putte Landscape. Go Bills!
  5. I was Beef on Weck but changed when I saw the team coming together in their Blue Jerseys - aka The Blues Brothers. Loved the movie and Actually saw Belushi and Akroyd as The Blues Brothers in Red Rocks Colorado when visiting family as a high schooler.
  6. Met Darryl Talley at an Orlando golf course and as luck would have it - I still text him occasionally (yes he texts back lol). He told me cool stories and it made me respect him even more as a player and person. He really liked Coach Levy which was nice to hear. Saw Darryl again (and his wife) at a Buffalo Bills Alumni event before an opener a few years back. At the same event - a buddy and i sat at a table that Jeff Nixon and his wife asked if they could join...(of course!!) While they were there - over comes Andre Reed and his wife and Andre is right next to me - it was unreal. Later on at the same event met Jon Fina, Fred Smerlas, Mike Stratton, Lou Piccone and every one of them were very cool and personable. On the way home i told my buddy that invited me to the event that other than the birth of my children - it was THE greatest day of my life lol Also met Frank Reich and Steve Tasker at a charity golf event - got pictures with both and Tasker signed my Bills cap - the ink faded but not the memory. Go Bills!
  7. Maybe the Cardinals think it's it's egg on their face if they trade a former 2nd round pick for a 6th or 7th round draft pick but you'd think the front office and the fans would want something for him. Do you think the Cardinals contact all 31 teams asking if they're interested in a trade for the guy?
  8. I was a fan in the stadium when Buffalo Bills special teamer Kevin Everett was injured and carefully removed off the field similar to Dane Jackson. No question that we were all ecstatic to hear Dane Jax has already been getting upbeat reports.
  9. I used to enjoy his program a lot - have several motivational books and they helped me through a growing time in my life. During a business trip in OH - he came to preach and during his preaching event they were promoting to sponsor a needy child in Africa. 5 years later my wife and I still support her and the money helps her and her family. Sure he is getting rich along the way - but he is spreading Christianity and l give him credit for that. Have you read any of his books? Can probably get one from the library if you don't want to spend. If really interested I can mail you one of mine. I can't make a video to his blinking lol can imagine the gunfire though ha ha but can tell you his words can be motivational. Go Bills!
  10. LOL! Chris was born in 1996 so just celebrated his 26th birthday. How old is your son? Chris grew up a Buffalo Bills fan because - well, his Dad and grandfather loves them. It is so great that since McDermott became Coach - he is able to experience great games and better teams to be excited about. He and his fiancé' were at the Monday night game and will be back there vs. Vikings. Go Bills!
  11. On Sunday 9/18 - it was my son's birthday and he lives in Amherst (by Buffalo) so we drove from Rochester to meet him at Bar Bills East Aurora to get their famous wings and Beef on Weck! We get there 15 minutes before they open and still needed to wait 45 minutes - so busy there! We get our table and as we are finishing .... Who walks in to get a table but The AJ Epensa! They had him wait outside until his table opened up - I asked hostess if she knew who that was and she said yes - they were getting him a table right away. On our way out - he was still waiting outside and we wished him "Good luck on the game tomorrow" and he smiled and said Thanks a lot! - cool guy. Big guy and glad he had a great game too!
  12. Bar Bills is our favorite.. Heading there from Rochester this Sunday for a birthday lunch for my son who moved to Buffalo/Amherst last year. They have great sauce and do a nice job on the dry rub wings, too.
  13. * Emerson, Lake and Palm-Air * In my best Billy Joel voice..."Sing us a song you're the Piano Saaand".... * You can't see them but the fish are already lined up ready for the show to start...
  14. My oldest current Jersey is KELLY #12. The others that have hung included Bryce Paup, Paul Posluszny (game work jersey), and through a radio jersey event - I bought a rookie James Hardy Jersey (may he RIP). The 2 current Bills; jerseys are: Mr. Josh Allen and Mr. Stefon Diggs! I still smile when i see someone wearing a CIRCLE THE WAGONS jersey and can picture Chris Berman's voice...
  15. My in laws are from Saratoga NY and they are Giants fans. My wife and I were at this game with them. It was not the most exciting game but remember the ride back to Rochester after the game was easier for me than them 😉 Cool Video - Thank you for sharing. Go Bills!
  16. He was the first QB l was old enough to say "That's my QB!" Recall the gutsy performance playing injured and was a soft spoken leader. Happy Birthday Sir!
  17. https://www.stitchnswitch.com/ I take exception saying that recycling an official NFL jersey is considered cheap. I retired at 52 and can buy a new jersey daily but had the Watkins jersey made into a Diggs jersey and offered it to my 22 year old daughter who loves it. Kudos to you for not adding to trash by re-using what you have. The downside is it took them a lot longer than they said it would to change and send back so don't try and time it too close for opening day. Also on a side note - isn't it great when our kids like the same teams as the ol' man? lol! Been happy the younger fans have seen the winning ways - Go Bills!
  18. Happen to see this whole thread today. It is a tough one. My thought is to try and create an amicable solution to reduce or eliminate the visits... It would start when your staff sees her approaching your business. You (or staff - but way better if you the first time(s), steps outside before she enters and say: "We have had clients complaining they can tell when the staff is having another conversation (acknowledging you and/or them hearing you) while we are on the phone with them and it is causing the staff stress - you don't want to cause stress to the staff do you?" This way it is the clients being the Bad Guy - not you...adding "We appreciate your updates but we already subscribe to the Town's Home Page so aware of the events coming up. If you want to send us an email with your updates - here is my (hand written) email address - just type up what you need to share and email me...if i have any questions - i will reply. If there is information the staff need to be aware of to maintain our business progress, I will forward your email to my staff and we will reply with any questions or comments. Also - just send one email max a day and between the hours of 3-4 PM. We are busy and hope you can appreciate these are our working hours and need to use all of our time during business hours strictly to business. " If she insists on coming in - say can you keep it to 1 minute? if she says Yes - then 1 minute it is. At the end of the minute just say - time is up for today - see you later or Your staff can point to the phone like they are stuck on a call and make the face, and point outside like - you have to go. If that fails - say she needs to pay $325/hour to offset my staff's OT/office utility expense to stay open longer so they can catch up - We accept MC/Visa or AmEX This may not work at all but the email idea let's her be social and keeps her from talking up too much time. If she doesn't have a computer - oh well- she can go to the library to email it or hand write a letter that you can save - It'll make a great Netflix series some day lol Wishing you The Best!
  19. So sad! I would enjoy hearing his perspective when he was calling into WGR. RIP.
  20. Late to the memory Party... 1. You've been a fan since. My Dad was a fan back in the 70s. My football card collection was sorted by teams and Buffalo players were always the most coveted. 2. Your first Bills memory. Watching Simpson break the 2,000 yard mark on a small TV at my grandparents house. 3. One of your favorite Bills memories. Being at the Comeback game, being at 51-3 game - lost my voice in first half, and watching Taron Johnson run back the playoff TD interception with my family all screaming with elation! 4. Your favorite player of all time and your favorite player currently. Past: Darryl Talley (because I met him a couple times including about at a Florida golf course bar where we talked for about an hour. Present: Josh Allen. 5. Some of you guys have some awesome forum names. What does your forum name say about you? The Blues Brothers was one of my favorite movies and saw them in a 4 hour concert in Colorado's Red Rocks arena. The Bill's Blue color and the brotherhood of the passionate fan base makes me feel like we are Blues Brothers. Go Bills!
  21. When I saw him on Twitter wearing the Bills shirts (…a Wolf in Bills clothing - I immediately hit the "Follow" button. Cool when famous people like Wolf are such big fans. I used to love when Tim Russert used to love the Buffalo Bills on National TV too. Go Bills!
