A sad day for us old Bills fans. My favorite memory of him was from going with my dad every year to Cardinal O’Hara. Their faculty would play the Bills is a charity basketball game, and my dad was always asked to ref the game. So I’d get to hang out in the locker room with my Bills hero’s, and he was one of them. A really nice guy, and a great player.

we're better off without him.

Who is Your Favorite NFL Football TV Announcer of All Time ?
oldmanfan replied to T master's topic in The Stadium Wall
Announcer: Charley Jones Analyst: Merlin Olsen For present day guys, it’s a tie between Ian Eagle and Kevin Harlan - both these guys should be on #1 teams. And for analyst I think Greg Olson is an up and comer. -
I think they like Jackson and Lewis, and they'll draft a CB with one of their first two picks.

71 million guaranteed for Denzel Ward.

Haslem and his wife are going to get crucified at the next owner’s meeting. -
Have you ever seen one of your teams go all the way?

1964 and 1965 Buffalo Bills -
Byrd was a great CB. Definitely deserves the Wall.

The Fed will get more aggressive easing rates and such to try and help. But other inflated costs like gas are very multi factorial; can’t expect government to wave a magic wand and have everything the way you want.
-
Yep. Happens when societies come out of situations like wars or pandemics. People don’t spend during them, and afterward you have pent up demand for goods that is greater than supply. Thus inflation.

Dwayne Haskins killed [Edit: struck by vehicle]
oldmanfan replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don't necessarily think Schefter was wrong in that Haskins was struggling to stay on, but he should really have thought about those words before putting them out there. They served no purpose. And Peter King this morning rightfully took Gil Brandt to task. What he said was inexcusable, and it was inexcusable of the directors and/or producers of that show and/or his partner to not cut his mike immediately and issue an apology. Brandt is old I get that, but you simply cannot allow him to do what he did. Perhaps it's time for him to call it a career. -
From the perspective of one who sat in the Rockpile as a 4 year old for the first game in 1960: 1. AFL championship game 1964. The Stratton hit. 2. The comeback game against the Oilers. 3. AFL championship game 1965 4. Season opener 1980 finally squished the Fish. 5 (tie): First AFC championship 51-3 against the Raiders; 1974 Monday Night season opener against the Raiders.

How sad. Hate to see young people lost way before their time. -
My first faculty position was at the med school in Augusta. Lived in the subdivision across Washington Road and drove by the entrance every day on the way to work. You really cannot fully appreciate the course unless you see it live. The elevation changes and the green contours are so much more than what TV can show.

Yes he’s fine. It is a difficult job and not one person does it perfectly. Greg Gumble hit the nail on the head.
-
As a general rule there are far too many people critical of show hosts and announcers and commentators and such. Adams is just fine. So are people like Collinsworth.

I helped carry them to Ralph’s box.

The Bills need to acquire an enforcer on defense.
oldmanfan replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall
Any guys in the draft named Vito? -
And that’s the way it goes. It’s not as if WNY taxes have paid for tons of downstate projects over the years.
-
If you want to be a major league town it’s the price you pay. And no governor was ever going to let the only NFL team that actually plays in the state leave.

If you could have had RJ call one famous Bills play

He should have been in jail years ago

The Stratton hit heard round the world. And his “ohhhhhhh” would have lasted at least 5 minutes. -
