Another Fan

Even me a big fan didn’t realize that “rivalry” went on for years. I thought when he came out of the mummy’s uniform was absolutely hilarious. Actually this whole clip/documentary is gold

I’m not sure He seemed to get more popular after he died. One of the big things Man On The Moon got wrong was the timing of the Carnegie Hall Concert where he took the crowd out for milk and cookies. At that stage in his career he couldn’t have booked Carnegie Hall. Taxi was cancelled, a movie Heartbeeps he made bombed, he was voted off SNL, and a broadway play about wrestling he was involved with closed after only a few showings. So yeah at that point people were just tired of him. Nonetheless he is an inspiration to me to keep pushing

Bill Zehme wrote a bio on him which I read when I was younger and bought and started to re read recently. Despite him being before my time, I loved the guy. Latka, Elvis impersonations before they became more famous, the wrestling, and his performances were all a hoot imo. Was inspiring to me as well transcendental meditation brought him out of shyness and anxiety. Anyone else like? Or he just wasn’t your cup of tea at all

Could be. there’s reasons why Livs mom wanted her daughter to have nothing to do with him https://news.amomama.com/268193-todd-rundgren-was-liv-tylers-only-father.html

My closest friend from elementary school? No I think it was in the 2nd grade we were I the same class where we met. Enough to talk on the phone, shoot hoops, play one on one, trade sports cards, and watch TV shows. Pretty much all the standard stuff boys do at the age before they discover the opposite sex. Though I was never a video gamer. When it was time to go to middle school he and his mother felt pretty strongly a local Catholic school here would provide a better education that the local public middle school. As it turns out we both go to Catholic school for 6th grade and we both wind up hating it. Except at the start of the 7th grade year he and his family moved. Seeing me hate that school as much as I do (it was mainly kids there at the time) my parents let me switch to another school. We talked a little more that year but that was like it. Never heard from him again. Last I searched his name some years ago he was an attorney. Moral of the story to me is not to be joined at the hip with a person and to make up your own mind. I'm actually glad to have learned that message at that age versus now.

Smart aleck 😏

An appropriate song for many especially with the backdrop of this video

At my office later in the week we do the usual grab bag gifts with the staff. Except we are able to steal the gifts up to three times if somebody winds up with something they don't want. In my family my uncle usually puts together Christmas themed games to try and make things more festive. Like for example write down everything you can think of related to Christmas in 5 minutes... the winner gets a prize. If you are forced to participate in these, do you: A) Find yourself very competitive B) Care a little but don't get stressed over it C) Absolutely just flat out could care less or detest it with every fiber of your being and cant wait to be done I kind of start out close to choice C but I do manage to have some fun with it as it goes along. But don't get worked up. Some of my co-workers/family members really do!

I agree. Also add to the fact the Colts fired Reich a few weeks before. Not gonna lie I thought the whole thing was annoying. Plus as well there were no 2 point conversations in 1992. Just hearing about that actually gave me bad vibes the Bills would lose last night.

Well in Yellowstone Park there this sign is common. Another connection in ref to Wyo-Buffalo 😄

My Dad and I drove the 8 hours from where we live to Buffalo twice. Made a long weekend out of it besides the game. It’s an underrated city we both like for things besides Niagara Falls. But I’m sure 8 hours pales in comparison to many fans on the site. I’m partially inspired to start the thread by that one fan who said they travel from Hawaii to see the Bills

I hadn’t been there in over 10 years but Donavans Pub in Woodside, Queens. Was once recognized as best burger in NYC. Not sure is still is

Well especially this time of year? While not a perfect performance yesterdays game reminded me a little of watching early 90s home games as a kid. I’d have to look it up but I thought the team was 8-0 at home most of the Super Bowl years. Opponents have to face the cold and possibly rainy weather without sunlight like yesterday, the loud fanbase, and a real nasty defense. Btw I thought all the hits on White were clean. While still knowing they’ll have to play their A game to have a chance to win. Even from a non homer perspective now I wouldn’t want any part of playing in Buffalo as an opponent. While my thread was based off nostalgia for watching childhood games…. it shows as well though how important having the number 1 seed would be

Most these pitchers mentioned and players I don't either. Outside of the Mets there's only a few teams I know a little about. My reaction is actually sort of like when the Bills drafted Josh: Time will tell if this is the right move or not. Now the Bills brass really did their due diligence scouting Josh because that was the right move (or they got really lucky). So all I could hope for is the Mets due their due diligence as well. Certainly beyond what these guys stats are and think they are they the right fight for the club. Especially come September/October. Because the Scherzer outing against the Padres still boils my blood and feel he should be docked some of his pay.

Kind of figured that was a typo even before I opened the thread. If it was a real deal it'd have at least 2 pages of replies by now and be a "Hot Thread"

I liked the sentiments the OP was trying to convey... but I think in reality this is why Joe and the team are trying and putting in more work this week.

One friend I know went there in 2016 to rep the Browns and had a Jersey on. He got some dirty looks and comments initially but decided to buy the guy next to him a beer to show no hard feelings. Idk if that was really necessary but this guy is very social/talkative/loves people and scenes so maybe he was protecting himself! Sounded like he made it out in one piece Best advise I would say I’d start an account on Eagles forum and see what feedback/pushback you get if you’re really considering it

What could be more important than Buffalo football in our lives with our Lord and savior JA#17? 😉 Now that the Bills are back in the news…. Some of which for the teams play and some of which for the snowstorm, I try and tell people fandom just runs DEEPER with this fanbase then other teams. To which if you’re not from or familiar with WNY or Buffalo it still don’t register with a lot of people.

Yeah not familiar at all with Texas Rangers baseball and looked them up. They were 68-94 last season, not exactly setting the league on fire. My point is yeah parts of me wonder now if he didn't really like playing for the Mets/New York or what not. Maybe he wouldn't have gotten that much money from the Mets but he's still playing on a team now that will likely be in contention or at least for an owner that seems to want to win. It's like when Strawberry was telling Judge to re-sign with the Yankees.... all other cities even LA or pretty boring to play in next to New York. Honestly, it reminds me of Mike Hampton signing with the Rockies a little. But he was a great pitcher here and one of the few Mets down the stretch last year I was satisfied with. I'm just a little perplexed what he was thinking. Whatever

While the Bills aren’t perfect it’s a game I’m comfortable they should be able to win push comes to shove. I think I have to go back to the 1990s to have that feeling against the Pats

Reading through this thread I’ll just leave it as social media is the downfall of a lot things today and we’d all be better off without it imo

Yep. But in a what have you do for me lately world they still seem to always help the Bills. Oh yeah they beat the Jets as well this year too

The Bengals always seem to help the Bills: they beat the Dolphins earlier in the year and the Titans today

He’s like the Charlie Brown of the NFL. He has he even ever won a start? I’ll say I find it admirable he doesn’t quit

I'm not old to remember it but I watched that game on Youtube being a nostalgia fan. What I found enraging was it sounded like there were Giant fans cheering that day when he went down. Giant fans always point to Eagles fans as being degenerates for booing Michael Irvin when they had to cart him off the field but they are no better. I mean at least on that day.
