  1. Paul Posluszny I recall at NY Times article about him that showed he knew how to handle his money playing football https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/05/your-money/05wealth.html That and still one of the last Polish American Bills players I recall
  2. Naaman Roosevelt- I recall a real nice 60 yard touchdown against the Giants in 2011 he had. And after that play I haven’t heard or can’t remember anything else about him. I do remember his last name but admittedly had to Google his first name thinking of him
  3. Donald Jones- he had some pretty sick catches against the Patriots in his brief time with the team. Enough so Belichick and the Patriots signed him briefly before he retired. One of the most underrated plays/throws in recent Bills history imo is Fitz to Donald Jones for about 30 yards week 3 in 2011 to set up Freddie's near touchdown. I couldn't resist Dan Carpenter as well. Guy was a money kicker in 2013 & 2014 I think. Then the year Rex was hired it all went downhill for him. It seemed even trying to kick extra points was an adventure for him. His frustration here at missing one 🤣
  4. From my experience Central to North Jersey and NYC are the most aggressive drivers in the country. even Philly drivers aren’t as bad
  5. Rocky Balboas wedding. Only like 10 people there and life went along afterwards for all there. And Rocky don’t use condominiums. Lol While it’s a movie I take it this wasn’t uncommon in the 70s and 80s?
  6. Just doing the math assuming one of these kids has like 5-10 friends close enough they’d care to do that for…. That is about 2 months of the year spent on this crap. Lol
  7. I’m in my late 30s…. That post made me feel better about being a misanthrope
  8. It’s a great song and one I feel a lot. But I have a memory of a video of Bills fans randomly dunking opposing teams fans with a playground basketball set up. This song was in the background. Im not a fan of Bills mafia antics but I thought that video was funny. Was like 2014ish. The song just added to the greatness of that video
  9. I never heard of her until watching this film recently. Many Nina Simone references in it
  10. I'm subscribed to his YouTube channel. Antonio's pizza reviews. He is from Staten Island initially but does pizza reviews of places in NYC and New Jersey. Occasionally he'll go outside the area. I had to look and he did do one on a pizzeria in Connecticut. It got a big thumbs up from him
  11. In still wonder if Tyrod would be here if not for that Bengals win. Or at least would have started in 2018 is a better way to put it. If the Bengals lose that game the Bills playoff drought would have extended. McDermott still would have had a very respectable rookie season at 9-7. But I’m not sure how that would fly drafting Allen at that point as there would have been more pressure to break the drought. Not be patient with a rookie QB
  12. I hear that. IMO it is more advantageous than ever to field young teams. This is because with the push on analytics young players don’t have much tape on them to scout. Case in point the Cincinnati Reds this year. A very talented and high achieving young team. But I’m still not sure they’ll hold up over 162 games.
  13. Chris Farley or Matt summed up the effect of the Cohen press conference on the team
  14. My favorite performance was his running ability in the 2015 game against the Titans. I know he converted on some 3rd and longs just with his legs. It broke that Titans losing streak as well going back to 2000. That and a game that same year against the Cowboys where he converted on like a 3rd and 8 play with his legs with some pretty nifty movies to keep the drive going and ice that game. The win was meaningless that year but it still felt good to beat the Cowboys. Tyrod was all right for what he was a solid backup/bridge QB.
  15. I agree. Would have liked to hear her point of view more why she loved Billy. I’m guessing she sees beyond the rough exterior? Like with the Wendy balsam story
  16. I think you got his dad confused, was Ben Gazzara. Kind of a cool thing if you didn’t know the scene where he sings that song to Layla it’s actually Vincent’s dad voice Vincent Gallo sr
  17. While I can’t stand this “enlightened era” or a lot of things about it watching the film itself recently I can’t help but think of Laylas perspective. Like why did she like Billy? What’s her back story? The film is just seen through Billy’s eyes Way back in the day I rented it or my dad did for all the Buffalo nods like that. But it’s really not a movie to watch for feel good nostalgia or Buffalo Bills references which you know I’m all about. It’s still a favorite of mine though
  18. It was probably me as well. Lol I thought that's what made the movie great though as it progressed. You see a little more beneath his exterior. Although after watching it a few times Billy's behavior is just straight hilarious to me in the first few minutes. Added as well that was Vincent's childhood home in Williamsville (I believe) where he knocked on the door Love the use of Heart of The Sunrise and Sweetness in it by Yes
  19. In my history I started a thread when the movie was 20 years old 5 years ago. Back then it seemed to get mixed reviews on the site Now it’s 25 years. So out of curiosity I’m gonna see if opinions have changed on it. The Josh Allen era has happened since. I do love the film and it’s probably in my top 10 of all time. Although I’ll admit some of it looks a little dated watching it today. The quote now that stands out to me is Mickey Rourkes character telling Billy if Buffalo ever makes it back to the big game bet against them.
  20. I awaited getting a notification with your thoughts saying how you really feel about the latest debacles. As always you did not disappoint! Enjoy the week as well
  21. From any level of playing. Can be personal or Bills related. I really do love this story below. Tyson Taylor talked about Bob Hurley Sr and playing for him. The day before the state championship game he went off on the seniors claiming they’d be the laughing stock of high school basketball if they never won a state championship at St Anthony’s. I thought it was funny how nervous he felt that speech made the team. And mentioned all being stone faced killers the whole day. But then years later he saw that was all apart of coach Hurleys motivation. He tricked us into being good. It’s cool sometimes years down the line when the lightbulb goes off on what someone was trying to do for you
  22. Thanks for sharing. Im in my late 30s with a diagnosis of autism recently and feel odd never owning or aspiring to own property right now. But it’s something I want to do
  23. Yeah remember a few years ago in the Brodie GM days when we all wanted Girardi as manager and were upset he wasn't picked? And Buck we or at least I thought there was never a chance as he'd laugh and having lineups forced on him by the higher ups. Ironic much now?
