  1. Depends--how many lines will he be required to memorize at a time?
  2. Just trying to help a brother out for a "Hall" bump . Hello Peter King, are you reading TBD?
  3. I love Frank, always have. Awesome off the bench, and an even better person off the field. One of the greatest backups of all time, imho. However (you knew there would be one), he did get his crack at starting elsewhere beginning with Carolina, and Kerry Collins took it away from him after 3 games. Other stops along the way as well, ended similarly. "After giving the Bills one more comeback victory late in the 1993 NFL season, Reich signed with the expansion Carolina Panthers in March 1995 to start off their first year. He threw the first touchdown pass in franchise history to former Bills player Pete Metzelaars in Memorial Stadium in Clemson, as Bank of America Stadium was still under construction. The Panthers had drafted Kerry Collins as their intended franchise quarterback, but Reich was the starter for the first three games until Collins was deemed ready to take the starting job. He was sacked 9 times on Sep 3 at Atlanta, a franchise record he shares with Cam Newton. Coincidentally, Reich and Collins hail from rival high schools in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, with Collins having started his high school career at Cedar Crest's crosstown rival, Lebanon High School (although due to age differences, Reich did not play against Collins in high school). Reich was then signed by the New York Jets where he started for seven games in 1996. In 1997, Reich signed with the Detroit Lions, reuniting him with his coach at Maryland, Bobby Ross. Reich appeared in 6 games in 1997, all in relief, and 6 games in 1998, including 2 starts. Reich retired following the 1998 NFL season. In 2014, NFL Hall of Fame Executive Bill Polian, who was general manager of the Bills when they drafted Reich, called him "the greatest backup quarterback in NFL history." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Reich#National_Football_League
  4. IK Enemkpali. He would've probably straight up punched Gronk in the nose over the Tre hit. From the LOL Archives, "Rex Ryan wants to build a bully in Buffalo. He now has a jawbreaker in camp." https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/bills-claim-ex-jets-lb-enemkpali-punched-geno-report-article-1.2323594
  5. Pete Metzelaars (honorable mention, Keith McKeller, who was the "K" in "K-Gun"), so that Josh would have a bona fine TE receiving and blocking threat, and who could've made the Miami last drive catch for the W. Steve Tasker would also make a timely addition to our ST and/or WR units.
  6. Jim Kelly. Oh...whoops. But wait, according to Joe Pa, he would've been a heckuva linebacker as well. ^^^^^^This.
  7. Being totally serious now, I was in Cumming just yesterday for work, it's about 30-45 minutes away from where I live. I've seen some other head scratcher names down here since moving to GA in '03. Maybe you could build a cabin on Round Knob in the north GA mountains--or Hopeulikit is an actual place, along with Climax and Braswell. Ball Ground is another winner. I'm sure other states have their own--Intercourse PA comes to mind. Perhaps one of the other ATL posters here can weigh in as well, like @Augie?
  8. Ha! Wonder how many people actually got this lyric? Good call
  9. Back then the Steelers' home field advantage in 3 Rivers was basically as good as Rich Stadium. Living there at that time, I had more close up info on them than I ever cared to. A monster defense under Cowher with Kevin Greene and Greg Lloyd who were always a tough out, and they always had great backs to go along with it. Eric Green was basically unstoppable as a TE, he would consistently burn the Bills in the red zone because they had to respect the run so much. You're right, not having Bruce that day really hurt us, and the Oline that kept Kelly in a clean pocket and opened up Mack truck sized holes for Thurman the week before against Miami, folded like a cheap suit in Pittsburgh, as tended to happen when playing the Stillers in Pittsburgh during that time. It was a tough day as a Bills fan for sure. Honestly though, maybe I had blinders on and refused to see that the end was nigh, but I still felt like the Bills could've put another deep playoff run together in 96, but the Jags came out of nowhere to put finality on the end of our dynasty. All the more reason to enjoy/savor this Miami clip.
  10. Yeah I checked it out and he’s definitely alive and well over there as of yesterday ?. Is it odd to post a bunch of Bills stuff inside the hockey stuff though and not here anymore?
  11. Thanks for the post; it’s heartbreaking for his losses and uplifting at the same time in terms of how he’s using what’s happened to him for motivation; he could just as easily have folded and gone into a downward spiral and who could’ve blamed him?
  12. Stop cutting and pasting Gugny’s threads!
  13. Shatner’s delivery as Kirk giving Spock’s eulogy (Spoiler ?: Spock dies in Star Trek II) is a Trek classic—how he barely gets the word “human” out is Oscar worthy—lol ?. How does Kirk not get the nod over Picard after watching this??
  14. Quantity, not quality wins wars of attrition!
  15. Good point. Plus the additional punishment doled out by the defenses back then, when the rule book wasn’t so skewed towards the O, and they could basically attack the knees and head at will—to say nothing of the nutritional and workout differences to now that all routinely help lengthen NFL careers.
  16. Should have. Were winning in Tennessee with 16 seconds left until, you know, Wycheck to Dyson on that illegal play.
  17. I bet your grandmother could make a mean lasagna too? (now I'm making myself hungry, great)
  18. Running up or down the stairs getting stuff I forgot on the last trip up or down the stairs--does that count?
  19. True that--he played shifty with a knack for getting open/separation and had solid hands--apparently Levy had to be talked into letting him play offense though, because of how valuable he'd been to the ST unit, racking up one pro bowl after another. All around just a great football player. Deserves to be in the Hall just as much as the rest of that group, if nothing else for a ST category, IMHO.
