Happy Birthday to the sphere of malted barley and hops,

I think thats the only way we would get to host a game this post season, lets keep the fingers crossed.

We rented a ski house, it now looks like rain, so we will try for some runs in the AM, if the slopes are a wreck, will just make wings and get ready for 430 kickoff. My wife and daughter are Bills fans with us, the rest are Jets fans, but they will root for us. I expect to abstain from alcohol until after gametime. (unless they are losing at half, then I need to compensate for not drinking during first half)

"Shivers" I have watched that 3 times already. This team is by far the most exciting I have seen in years. The SB teams were great, but we had so many weapons and such a strong defense (mostly) throughout those years that we expected to win. This team is different, each week it is a combined effort, they are infinately more lovable, seem to have more personality and just a likeable group of guys. If given a choice to sit down and have beers with this group or the SB group, I'd honestly rather hang out with this group of guys (they are younger than 2 of my kids and the SB Bills are my age)

Sorry for your loss Joe, Always tough losing an animal. I sometimes appreciate my dogs better than humans I know. Just know that as the days go on, you will embrace the wonderful time you had with her.

Im no fan of cats, but I just don't see any reason to kill a harmless animal. I think I may be interested in finding the idiots that torture the cats and give them a bit of thier own medecine, but I would think Karma will take care of it in due time.

So? Tom Brady was busy?

Damn millenials ruining everything!!

I remember the reverence my Dad and his friends had for him. "Do you know who that is?! That's Golden Wheels Dubenion !!". Rest in peace Golden Wheels, you gave those fans plenty of joy.

Jack Black?

I don't have much on the letter, but my Dad did do the artwork for the covers of the programs from 61-64. There are some pictures here and there of the front of the Rockpile with "Buffalo Bill" cartoon that he did as well. He also did some photography from the old training camps and some games at the Rockpile. Our basement was full of the stuff when I was a kid. He got the cartoon gig because he was a print salesman for Holling Press on Washington street downtown. He had the Bills account and to sweeten the deal, his boss (Frank Mahr) told the Bills that he had a guy that could do the artwork for the covers. My dad got $35 per cover and he did a lot of artwork in the program itself (Car ads, Line-ups with cartoon bodies in western gear and the players heads on the cartoon bodies). I remember watching the process, he would start Tuesday a week and a half before the game, and do some sketches, then create a solid black and white with tracing paper. He would get approvals from the Bills, then they would create a three color cutout for the program that would be used to print the 40K programs for the game. He would bring one home for me every Thursday before the game . Since we had the same name, he would try to hide his name in the signatures to see if I could find them (in the grass, on the sleeve of Buffalo Bills jacket etc. )and I saved them. Even after the Bills went to modern covers and went with photos, Dad still had the account. I had every copy from the 60-s to the late 70s. When I went away to college, mom decided to "straighten up" my room, and without any guilt, tossed them away. I have bid on a few on ebay over the years, I have a few, but wish I had that original, pristine stash, wouldn't think of selling them, just love looking at the old ads and looking up some of those old names. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/tag/kevin-weil/

Thank You Rex

Patchogue on a wednesday is going to be tough, We were hoping for the Bellmore show, but will keep it on the schedule.

That would be my guess

We lost my Mother in Law last year, it may seem like an inconvenience to get those calls, but someday you will wish you could get just one more.

My thoughts are simple: Give them the tools they need to suceeed, the basics like food, shelter and education. Encourage higher learning and if they aspire to higher education, help them as best you can. But I would never let them get between my wife and I. That is #1, Mom and Dad are a unit, not individual components. 2 of our 3 kids have degrees, one uses her degree and is doing well, the other with the degree is free spirited and conemplating buying a house now. I could help him, but am currently on the sideline letting him learn about the real world. He is finding that his choices to be unconventional have consequences. The other is struggling and finding that dropping out of school (against our wishes) also has consequences. We help when they absolutely need it, but do not give regular financial support, but are always available for moral support or to go through "what ifs" when they run into problems. We were raised with similar rules, I am middle of 5, my wife is middle child of 15 (thats not a typo). Both sets of parent gave us as much encouragement and guidance as possible and offerred higher education (up to a certain point) to allow us to excel, but we were not given any financial assistance outside of help with college. I didn't see Disney till I was in my 30's and only recently started to take trips outside of the country now that the kids are grown up. Bottom line, we are doing what our parents did, and we have mixed results, being a parent is tough as hell, but sometimes the kid has to learn on his own.

Didn't the NFL already settle with him for a similar amount? If he is signed, is he willing to cut that check back to the league?

I wish I could make sure my seats go to Bills fans, but if you post them on the Bills website (ticketmaster) they go to whomever is willing to pay.

Seeing John Unitas in a Charger uniform was horrible, Joe Namath as a Ram was sad too.

Sec 136, row 32, on the aisle. Looking for face value. Great seats PM me ****SOLD****

If that was Brady, the guy would be tossed out of the game, Prescott , it would have been 15 yards.

Ouch, I work in midtown, I work in finance, I have 7-8 fleece/nylon vests As soon as the weather turns cold, I wear them I'm well over 50 (almost 60) I love the extra pockets I don't travel in packs of 2 or more Sorry for offending you Your opinion does not affect me
