SF Bills Fan

He was probably drinking merlot with ice. As fans we are doomed. Totally f...ed.

Zero chance. Vince Young was brought in for this type of thing.

Wishful thnking. Even the deep pocket people in LA that already have the money are having a hard time getting their stadium done and identifying a team to purchase. And they have been working at this for a while. This guy doesn't even have the money and he has a vague notion of what he wants. He has no shot. He will never be an owner. Thanks for making some noise. Maybe his radio show was dropping in the ratings and he needed something to talk about.

I always liked Eric. He had it tough because he played through a parade of QBs and coordinators for many years. I think that if you took a poll of former players, you would have far far more that think like Eric and a smaller group that think like Willis McGahee.I was just back in Buffalo last weekend and it was about as nice as weather can be anywhere in the US outside of Maui and San Diego. I can only imagine what oppossing players face from Buffalo fans. I thinnk these kinds of shenanigans are not limited to Miami or any city really.

I drove back from college with my friend Matt. I've known Matt since I was two. Anyway, when things looked grim at the half I remember telling Matt that if they don't come out, score and then hold the Oilers, we may as well go since we had to drive 5 +hours. Well we didn't score and hold them (as we all know) but I remember Matt and I agreed this would be last game for the year so we may as well tough it out. We stayed the rest was history. Recall the surreal feeling in the stadium after the win. That is the best sporting event I have ever been to still to this day.

San Francisco- I am from OP and I've been out here 18 years. Lots of Bills fans out here. I have many friends I grew up with out here and we meet up for games all the time.

As long as he doesn't say anything about Dream Teams.

I agree. The coach/GM hybrid has not worked since way back in the day when Al Davis was successful at it with the Raiders(Wayyyyyy back in the day). You have to have a checks and balances system.

I remember he drove off a cliff around the time he was involved with that horrible little troll Tila Tequila and she had him charged with domestic abuse. That was the first time that there seemed to be warning signs of trouble.

Her knees are way too sharp for my taste.

We haven't got seats yet, but we will get a block as we get closer. Mark (North star owner) has good connections and our other avenue is to contact the Bills and get the tickets through them. They have given us seats out of their reserved block in the past. I need to speak with Mark. We will have a package for everything included. We just did the Sabres bus to San Jose and it was $100 with ticket, bus and beer. I expect a similar package for this. I have coordinated with several fans on this board in the past. I am sure many of you will plan to be go again. I definitely expect bigger numbers this year.

I will be going with the Bills Backers group out of the North Star. We'll have a bus, tickets and party of some sort. I'll actually be planning it with Mark, the bar owner. We will have a good group and we always get big crowds for the Bills and Sabres. I have a feeling this year might be the biggest one yet since the Niners and Bills should both be good. Lets keep in touch as the game gets closer and the plans become more clear.

Ah... a radio staring contest.

I went to that game. The stadium was great and the Bills destroyed the Seahawks. We went out in Seattle for a few nights and had a blast. I would go back for a game there in a heartbeat.

It has definitely cooled. If you recall, the main ownership group planned to announce that a team was moving to LA during the two weeks leading to a Super Bowl LAST YEAR. They also said The Bills and Jags were top targets before they realized they were not. I never thought the Bills were much for moving to LA anyway. The Rams, Raiders and Chargers are all far more likely. If the Bills truly do resurge this year and season tickets spike and the renovations to the Ralph are on track and a long term lease (that is tough to break) gets signed they will go nowhere. Two years ago none of those things seemed possible. Now they all seem possible. Plus there are several wealthy guys with the money and interest to keep them in Buffalo. The threat of a move to LA or TO is diminishing.

Great- another year with the mediocre and overexposed Cowboys getting primetime games they do not deserve. I predict they will grace us with at least 4 primetime games.

Agreed, we were a team of all-Pros and Hall of Famers in the making and they were a good team, but not stand team out by any means. If you ranked all the teams that have won a Super Bowl, they would not be very high on the list. They over achieved that one day and we played sub-par at best (think of Andre's drop over the middle when he was wide open after the safety). Even with them playing the best possible game they could have played it was still in doubt to the very end with them all on their knees praying for divine intervention to make the ball go wide right.

Exactly. Thurman would have had 300 yards in that game if we did that. If NY adjusted to stop that, Kelly would have killed them in the air. We got outcoached plain and simple. Great now I am all worked up.

Quick- get him over to Jim's house and get some deer in the backyard.

Three words "cue the deer".

It sounds like Jim was pretty influential in persuading Mario that Buffalo is a good place to live. And the nine deer in the backyard helped greatly. I can just see the scene at the house as Mario roles up....."Cue the deer"

Is there some kind of basketball tournament happening today?

I was hoping someone took him to the Sabres game. That is one time you can count on downtown Buffalo being somewhat lively. Thurman is a regular at Sabres games too.

Bravo.....and that concludes this thread
