That picture answers a lot of questions about Peyton's neck.

Not unlike what the Bills did in 1983. Hmmm...

Been a fan for almost half a century. I was a late bloomer football-wise, got interested when the Super Bowl era began, especially with Jets win over the Colts. It occurred to me after several years that as a Western New Yorker I should be rooting for the Bills. So I remember Joe Ferguson, Joe Cribbs, and getting an autograph from Rob Riddick for my toddler son at a shopping mall in the 80's. When we first got there the line was long, so we went shopping for a bit. We came back at close to 9pm and Riddick was sitting at the card table in the middle of the mall. Alone. We walked up, got an autograph and had a brief chat. Good of him to hang in there. That kind of locked me in as a fan. 10 years later my son is going through high school during the Super Bowl years. He missed SB XXVIII because by then he had joined the Air Force and was going through basic training. During his 20 years in uniform, he was always able to find pockets of Bills fans around the world. I have pictures of Humvees in the desert with Bills logos painted on the side. Checking up on his beloved Bills was a big part of home for him. This past weekend we watched our grandson play in his final high school football game. He, like his Dad and Granddad, is a Bills fan. Several years ago he was visiting us during the summer and we signed him up for Jim Kelly's Football camp, the 1 day version at St. John Fisher. This was right after Kelly's first bout with cancer, and there was much speculation about his availability for the day. He did show. He did stay. He spoke with the kids, ate with the kids, and coached and played with the kids for the entire day. My respect for him as a person grew exponentially beyond my admiration for him as a football player, as it has for many people whose lives he has touched. So for us, its a family thing. My late mom lived with us for 15 years, and she was a fan, too, with an unnatural affinity for Doug Flutie. (Mom, he's really not playing anymore, let it go!) Like many of us, she would have enjoyed Rex's pressers and had high hopes for EJ. She would have loved Josh Allen and Frank Gore, and still have considered the Patriots the spawn of Satan. That's us. Bills fans no matter what. Age is creeping up, I'm starting to feel the "once before I die" thing creeping in. But we're enjoying this year, and I've always enjoyed reading the posts and comments at TBD.

Maybe he could run for president...

Until the following Sunday...

People should be treated fairly. That's different from equally.
