Another Fan

I appreciate Fitz's personality, his Bills fandom, and him trying to make it work when he was a Bill. But I mean it's hard for me to look the other way he really wasn't that good once he got his big contract. His stats looked respectable because his TD's came mostly in garbage time. He was nicknamed Picks Patrick for a reason.

I like Labatt's but agree with you about wings. Beef on weck is one of my favorite sandwiches though

I thought the Bills playing late Monday that night hurt them as well in the Chiefs game. When I posted a thread about it though the few responses I got were No

Its going to be a long offseason me feels

My Dad's take on it was the guy is just a jerk shoving a 65 year old coach like that...... he had no rooting interest at all in the game so I respect his take. For me like you say the bottom line in the NFL is winning sort of like $ is the bottom line for businesses...... right or wrong that's just sort of how it is

an appropriate song for him lol As much as I want to say it was totally classless, d- baggy, and uncalled for....... if Josh Allen bumps Mcdermott like that during the Super Bowl and wins... I mean I still don't think I'll say Oh Wow He is The ultimate competitor but it would be very easy for me to look the other way.

20 years of total dominance by the Patriots is still too much to look past. I mean even if the Bills were never exactly a threat to win the Super Bowl any of those years. Although the Chiefs are definitely trending in the wrong direction for me in terms of like ability.

I agree with a lot of that but I liked T.O. From what I recall he was still pretty good on the field and not a cancer in the locker room. Actually he still seems to speak fondly of his time here

As I get older I find I have more respect for people that do. My mom used to run Cub Scouts when I was a kid and was a little league mom a short time when I played. Going through some old family photo albums there was a bunch of pictures of me in Little League. There was one coach there who was a volunteer fireman and pulled some strings to get our neighborhood team into a neighboring league from another town because at that point the league was dissolving. I remember traveling to the other town wasn't the most fun but as an adult yeah I have a ton of respect for that guy. I mean he did what he could to try to make things happen in retrospect. Maybe when I become financially independent (if ever) I'll get more involved. Lol

I tend to agree with this and am okay for now not seeing the team make any major changes in the offseason for 1 more year. My thought pattern 2022- way too much hype in the offseason, the Tops shooting, the 7 foot snowstorm, and Hamlin almost dying on live TV burnt the team out in the long run. 2023- I know injuries are a part of the game but I thought the Bills were still unlucky in this regard last year. So yeah for one more year I think I am okay seeing things hopefully naturally progress.

Her leaving this world too soon and the song itself is definitely sad

I looked it up Tom was a broadcaster for the Yankees from 1989 to 1993 You were right about McCarver he was a broadcaster for them from 1999 to 2001 but I have zero memory of that at all

I know I found out from you as well WFAN doesn't carry the Mets anymore. I was inquiring why they don't have the weekly manager segment they used to have. You know Mike and the Dog and then just Mike. I know Tom Seaver did commentary on some Mets game in the 90s but I want to say he did some Yankees games as well on WB. I kind of vaguely recall that.

While most people are commenting yes in the thread.... No is still leading in the poll the OP did. And myself I'm not going to watch it.

The early 90s is when I started watching. Yeah I recall it was WOR or Channel 9 based out of Secaucus, New Jersey for some games. The rest of the games were on Sports Channel NY which also had the Nets/Devils on it here in New Jersey. And similar to you that was a premium channel back then that our household didn't have. Ironically I learned much about baseball watching the Yankees as MSG was carried in our cable plan. So most following the Mets back then came from listening to Bob Murphy back then. I think there was a year or two the Mets were on WB11 for some games. That was always primarily a Yankees station. It wasn't until 2006 when the Mets premiered the SNY station that came in our household I could watch all the games. Or at least had the option

So was anything other than being a Mets fans for your son unacceptable? Lol. My Dad certainly played a part in me liking the Mets. And the Bills for that matter. He was a big Met fan since the start of the team in 1962 and I have fond memories of watching the games on Channel 9 UPN with him as a kid listening to Ralph Kiner. As I'm approaching middle age now the Mets are one of the safe topics if you will my Dad and I touch on. Hell, in all our conversations over the years the Mets are probably the #1 topic we've touched on. I'll just stay there's other things going on in the world we might disagree upon but the Mets are always a safe topic if you will. He's not nearly the fan that he used to be but he's still interested in them for better or worse.

Super Bowl 28 was way worse. Bad days in general happen and Super Bowl 27 was one for the Bills IMO. I mean hey at least there was that Don Beebe moment of pride toward the end of the game. Totally unraveling after Thurman's fumble in Super Bowl 28 was much worse. That showed a complete lack of mental toughness. Which was sort of a staple of Bills teams from that era.

That thread has probably been edited a lot over the years to no man I loved the pick. LOL

I didn’t even think this game was still a thing

Fonzie would freeze to death if all he wore was a little leather jacket in Wisconsin. Ditto the cast of Step by Step.

Just see the score now. Ideally would have liked to see Detroit win but the Niners I think have a better chance to beat the Chiefs. At any rate this will be the 2nd Super Bowl in a row I won’t be watching

@Gugny @SinceThe70s @ExWNYer Happy Belated New Year guys. The last Mets thread which went on for years on the site gave me some warning the thread was old about revising it. And you know maybe I thought it was time for a new thread. I've heard some fans upset that Cohen/Stearns didn't do more this offseason (notably WFAN's Joe Benigno) but I think we saw last year spending money won't automatically by a World Series. Still the Stearns/Mendoza combination isbn doing much to excite me at the moment. I think 70s posted this on the old thread https://www.immaculategrid.com I enjoy playing it even though if I'm lucky I only score about what the average is on the site. My favorite answer on that was Joe McEwing or Super Joe when it asked for someone who started at short stop and center field. Loved that guy when I was younger but he was the player in pro sports to make me realize why some guys are just part time players.
