    If you've never had your parents pretend to call Father Baker's to come pick you up, did you really grow up in Buffalo? Is that still a thing by the way, Father Baker's threats?

     

    I remember hearing they wanted to make him a saint and being pissed. When I got older, I realized he was actually a really good dude, taking in orphans, and the parents of WNY smeared his good name. 

     

    My sister works at one of the Father Baker facilities,  last I heard she was either a principal or assistant principal for one of the schools there.

    Sanctuary is the only add-on I know of that still has plenty of feeds on Kodi.  Watching Ray Donovan currently with no issues.  But Tea TV and Titanium have many more users now, so better to go through one of those sites for content.

    So here is the question, how do you load Titanium or Tea TV onto the stick? I know I followed youtube to load Kodi, but what do I need to do to load the others? Its lamost like a new setup comes out every 3 weeks

     

  3. There are only a scant few who have made all of the TBDHOT through the years. A bad woodshop teacher could count on one hand how many have been there for all. What would be nice if we could get a lot of the early participants from he first one (although I don't know where they are anymore) Bill in Livonia, AIO, 89, Laurie, Bob Lamb (he has made a few recently) 

  4. When I was a sophmore  in high school I had an accident during late summer and opened up my hand, torn nerves/ruptured artery, yada yada. Anyway I had lost the nerves in the hand and had no feeling, so I became quasi-left handed for a period of time. I stopped by my Mothers office at a school and was complaining to a cute girl who had been volunteering in the office for credits. She listened to me whine about how I can't do this or that with my right hand, and the feeling isnt back, just typical 17 year old self centered whining. She nodded in agreement the whole time. When my Mom came out to find me, I went to say goodbye to the girl and try to figure out if I had a chance. As she pulled away from the desk, I saw that her right hand was gone, she had a prothstesis on her right hand. I wandered off like I had been punched, replaying all the complaints I had just spewed about losing the use of my fingers and hand for a few months. I felt like such a doofus.

    While watching the game yesterday, I got to thinking about how our franchise got it's name.

    We are most recognized by the Standing & Charging Buffalo Logo's, it's cool to think we are really named after Buffalo Bill Cody.

    Here are some early images that were never on our helmet, but appeared in game day programs & print material.

    Cool stuff. I wish they had a flag flying at New Era showing this dude!

    The first one was done by my father, he did the covers of the programs from 1961-1964. He also did some of the signage at the Rockpile. Within the weekly programs, he did some Bills related stuff like cartoon bodies of the players in the Bill Cody gear with their headshots on the cartoon body. I used to get copies of all of the programs since Dad also was the salesman for Holling Press which printed the weekly programs. Around 1976, Mom in a cleaning frenzy tossed out "those old programs of yours" 

     

    The second one is from the AAFC Buffalo Bills from 1947-1949. According to Dad, when the Buffalo Bills came back into existence in 1959, his boss asked him to try to get the Bills account, Mr. Wilson was planning on bringing back the old Bill Cody after one of the west coast teams (LA Chargers) used a version of it in their weekly program. They asked him to do one, and after Mr Wilson gave the approval,  he would create a new one about a week or two before the game. I remember watching him draw them first in pencil, then ink, then with the 3 color transparent drapes that would be used for production.

    Hi folks!

     

    After a good number of years, I'm coming up (from Long Island) to the game this Sunday against Miami!

    (P.S.  I'm not an active poster on the board these days, but I've actually been a member on the board for almost 20 years!)

     

    My wife Susie will also be coming, as well as 6 or 7 additional family members.  (My good friend "Bill from NYC" won't be coming for this game, but he sends his best regards.)

     

    Looking forward to tailgating and seeing (possibly, if they're coming) our friends Rich Flowers, Cablelady Harriet, Laurie, Badolbilz, and others who we know from the board who might be at the game!

     

    Go Bills!

    Jerry, is this the Jerry/Jerry that watched from Bellmore? PM me if you need seats.

    Hess trucks are approaching the price of my first real vehicle!

    My mother in law passed away and she had been collecting the Hess trucks since the second year, she has 2 for each year until the mid 90's when she moved to florida, we have about 38-40 of them. Still trying to figure out how to unload them. 

  8. I was hoping we could get a starting lineman and a first for him, I guess the market is a bit thick with quality Qbs.

     

    Honestly, If he had been managed properly, he may have had a chance at being a decent backup, just didn't play out that way. Not a bad guy, I wish him luck.
