  1. I can't see our switching, even though I like the throwbacks, but what a great marketing ploy! The fans are all over it, and the Bills will sell a ton of jerseys, hats, t-shirts, replica helmets and other throwback items.
  2. Kelly's HOF plaque lists him at 6'3." Perhaps, like a lot of us old guys, he's shrinking. Or 6'3" is a little optimistic.
  3. Sounds like the old days when McGuire, Sestak and a bunch of other early Bills players would frequent the bars of East Aurora (and the South Wales Hotel) during camp, and the city bars during the season. Ah, the good old days may be back. . .
  4. Does anyone seriously think that the Bills' front office is actually contemplating a permanent change to the throwbacks?
  5. I think the white helmets are the best part of the whole look.
  6. The throwbacks, like anything nostalgic, are a nice change of pace and a way to relive old memories, but for a steady diet, I prefer the new ones.
  7. I think age on defense will become as big, or even bigger, an issue as free agency. We're going to have to draft or acquire some younger guys real soon. We've drafted mostly offensive players the last few years.
  8. For all of us older fans, the throwback uniforms represent a nice, nostalgic look back to the 60s championship teams and the Rock Pile. I can't wait to see them on opening day.
  9. I like them, except I wish they had kept an all orange (orange jersey/orange pants) version which they wore occasionally in the past. After all, we're the Orange! Go Cuse!
  10. Yeah, it was the media that turned the young and immature Winslow into Evel Knievel.
  11. Just another example of the ignorance of the media.
  12. Professional ear puller on a closed course. Do not try this at home.
  13. We're from the southern burbs originally, so when we're back for home games, reunions and stuff, we frequent the Barbill and Wallenweins in East Aurora, the Willows in Holland, and often make an obligatory journey to the Anchor Bar.
  14. I love it when someone in his or her 90s is said to have died "unexpectedly." Waking up each day at that age is really the unexpected thing.
  15. Gragg might be able to give us a full 16 game season, too, rather than the 12 or 13 we usually got from JJ.
  16. Shaq is a good man. He does a lot of things for kids, too. A lot of spoiled pro athletes would do well to take a look at Shaq and follow his lead.
  17. I'm a conservative AND an animal rights activist/environmentalist, but sometimes protests and other actions by Greenpeace, PETA and other groups go too far. A criminal act, even in the name of animal rights, is still a criminal act.
  18. I saw Mikan play on TV back in the 50s. He was way taller than almost anyone in the league back then.
  19. The Bills released him on May 24th or thereabouts.
  20. Then let's sign him up. We need another WR.
  21. The Hunter news is not good. The little guy has already lived much longer than expected. Prayers for Hunter and the Kelly family.
  22. I really like the helmets and the new/retro look in general, but I still like the orange jersey/ orange pants combination that they wore on just a few occasions over the past few years.
  23. Question: Why would we want an aging, 240 lb ex-steroid user with a serious back injury, as our LT? Answer: He was once a decent player whose name we all recognize. Conclusion: He must be better than anyone we have.
