  1. I'm 53, and just on the cusp of starting to think about grazing the very outer limits of "middle age". So I guess the answer to your question is yes.
  2. OJ's HOF profile says he also wore # 33 with the Bills, which I don't remember at all. Bills media guide confirms it as well. He did wear # 36 in the Pro Bowl in the mid-70s.
  3. This is a beautiful and romantic song - perfect for a first dance. Best wishes to you both. Make growing your relationship a priority - if you plan to stay together, you both will change a lot and you'll need to keep the focus on having your relationship keep up with the changes in you both. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1qL2ynRpXU&feature=fvwrel THE LUCKIEST - BEN FOLDS I don't get many things right the first time In fact, I am told that a lot Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls Brought me here And where was I before the day That I first saw your lovely face? Now I see it everyday And I know That I am I am I am The luckiest What if I'd been born fifty years before you In a house on a street where you lived? Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike Would I know? And in a white sea of eyes I see one pair that I recognize And I know That I am I am I am The luckiest I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties And one day passed away in his sleep And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days And passed away I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong That I know That I am I am I am The luckiest
  4. I was 10 when my Dad took me to the 1969 Broncos game. We sat in the end zone with the concrete steps...errr....bleachers. Was so excited to see OJ. I remember it was rainy but I didn't care...saw Bills win for first time. Made up for the game he took me to in 1968 when Lamonica came back and destroyed us 48-6. 1968 was the first year I really got into following football on my own, and I have a perverse love of that season even now. Brings back many good memories of my Dad. The Bills were always our connection. In 1970, he bought three tickets - for me, my Mom and Dad, to see Cincy play the Bills. The seats were on the Bills sideline, under the roof and cost SEVEN DOLLARS each. That was like a fortune to me back then. The tickets were pinned to the bulletin board in the kitchen, and I looked at them every time I passed them. I could not wait to go to that game and sit in those expensive seats. The morning of the game, my Dad had heart pains (he had history of heart attacks). He took me for a walk and told me he couldn't go to the game...I was devastated. So I went with my Mom and sister, who really wasn't into it at all. The game was a disaster - OJ blew out a knee on a meaningless kickoff return before halftime, some drunk kids spilled wine on me and burned a cigarette hole in our Bills blanket. Worst day of my young life. Dad passed away 5 years later when I was 16. Even though the Bills sucked in those years - 1968-1971 are among my favorite seasons because I had that connection to Dad and I was so excited to see the Bills play, and when they won - it was amazingly fun. There was nothing better than coming downtown through the ghetto, walking through that filthy, dirty stadium and then walking out and seeing that gorgeous, bright green field and those royal blue jerseys, red Buffaloes and white pants. Remember, I was watching the Bills on a black and white television and to see the colors in person was stunning! And back then, the players seemed so accessible and real - they all had other jobs around town and they were definitely a lovable bunch of losers - who had a recent history of being the toast of the town. Very cool reliving these memories and I appreciate the opportunity to share my experiences here!
  5. He was Dick Jauron - before we had Dick Jauron!
  6. To borrow from Jeff Foxworthy - If you remember this $%*!.....you must be an old fart!
  7. There's also an interview with the Bills' Paul Guidry on there.....
  8. Even if you don't remember him, you might find this interesting - as is this website (for those who remember the AFL)..... Bobby Burnett
  9. Chopping wood means never try to take a euphemism and make it literal - to wit: Del Rio's bad idea
  10. Trust me - a little bit of me goes a looooong way. Just ask my girlfriend. She knows all about my "little bit".
  11. Once I realized my stylist had a rubber knub, I switched to Super Cuts.
  12. That would be Glenn Bass.... Andy Griffith (or Griffin) I'm old school, but very hard to name just 5: Marlin Briscoe - bright light in a bad season Thurman Bob James another HOF career cut short by injury Jim Kelly Smerlas
  13. I hear he went to a real brainiac school.....Harvard? Some place like that.
  14. Taro Tsujimoto
  15. Translation: "Someone pullleeeze call me!! - offer me ANYTHING! They are loading up the Mayflower vans!!"
  16. Good name I have a maltese-shi tzu mix I named Winston. He needed a distinguished name because he's a dirty little bastard that eats anything gross and disgusting. But I love the little bastard!
  17. Somebody needs to book that room for Tom Brady's old man.
  18. If you have an interest in old-school football, check out "Instant Replay" by Jerry Kramer. Kramer was a guard on the 1960s-era Green Bay Packers, and the book is a daily diary of the 1966 season. Very interesting to read about football back in the day, to wit: Talking about the league eliminating "pep pills" from the locker rooms a few years before; A new sideline beverage from Florida called "Gatorade" a mixture of water, salt, glucose and "it tastes good" Getting an opportunity to see the "brand new" landmark Arch in St Louis Talking about his blacking out during the second half of a game after a concussion and not missing a subsequent practice A great insight into football back in the day, and the historical references above are amusing. Eye-opening is his reference to black players as "negroes" or "colored", and how black players had to use separate entrances to restaurants down south - Lombardi had the whole team use the back entrance. Also eye-opening are the descriptions of injuries and how archaic the treatment and recognition of them were. Check it out! Any suggestions for other good football books worth checking out?
  19. Screw the coaching - suit him up and put him on the field! He's probably better at 50 than what we will have on the roster come September!
  20. And they turned me down!! I could have butchered it like that, no problem.....
  21. The white Jerry Rice - Kevin Drake!! Never heard of him either....but I got his #15 jersey when I ordered a game worn Home Blue jersey from the 2000 season. Apparently he was on our practice squad that year. I can't even find a reference to him making a catch in preseason!
  22. C'mon Buddy...git 'er done!
  23. Almost the entire country will be watching!!! ..........for at least half of the first quarter.....
