Have my draft Wednesday night, excited but nervous as I do think this is gonna be a crazy year with so many changes throughout the NFL with old guys retiring, injuries, suspensions, guys going to new teams and playing in different systems.
Rooting for the Sharks because well Pittsburgh has already won enough championships...but it would be bittersweet to see yet again another team that came into the league well after the Sabres(and based in California at that) win a cup before we get our first.
I remember seeing an interview somewhere with him talking about how he fell in love with the blue collar, working class fanbase we had...and then he started partying with Kelly and the boys
Although I know its gonna be tough I would love to see OKC Durant and Westbrook win the NBA championship this year. Out of all the remaining teams in both the NHL and NBA the Thunder is the one team I would really get excited about bringing home the hardware. Golden State OKC is going to be such a fun and entertaining series to watch
The ending was so emotional when they were reading the letter that Buddy wrote to them...and then when the guys were talking about wishing they could do it all over again and I loved when McMichael said "thats when your really living baby"
Two emotions instantly came to me as the film wrapped up 1) I really miss playing little league/high school football myself and would love to do it all over again
2) Really made me wish the 90's Bills could've had experienced at least just one of those Super Bowls from the winning side
Great 30 for 30
Not sure if the Bills can use the excessive partying excuse as a major reason they lost Super Bowl 25 anymore as its pretty evident the Bears shut down Bourbon Street the week of Super Bowl 20
Had to work tonight and I'm so pissed! Have it DVR'd and will be watching it tomorrow night hopefully. I am looking forward to it although I am already pretty familiar with the 85 Bears from reading up on them over the years. That era Bears team reminded me alot of the 90s Bills as far as the characters and personalities they had on and off the field and some of the friction that existed within the team.
That's what I've been saying for years, a day to celebrate America's past time! Don't get me wrong I usually use a vacation day for that Monday anyways but that could be an extra day I could use to be out on the golf course in the summertime
This reminds me a little bit of the fighter Buster Douglas. Had all the talent in the world but couldn't keep himself in shape. I remember his trainer saying his biggest downfall wasn't the drugs or partying lifestyle that bring down most guys but he could never stay out of the kitchen.
RIP Jimmy, gotta admit even though I didn't know him personally reading about this made me get kind of emotional. Being a true Bills fan is like belonging to a lifelong fraternity. It makes me depressed a fan like that never got to witness a Lombardi parade in Buffalo.
Just for something different, I don't recall this ever being discussed here or at least anytime too recently. In my lifetime the first three guys that I think of are Kelly, Favre, and Big Ben. If I was ranking them I would probably have to go with #4 as my #1
Considering how the modern NFL rules are geared towards a more efficient passing game/higher points being scored, I think what the 2013 Seahawks accomplished was just as, if not more impressive, than the 2000 Ravens and 2002 Buccaneers. I've still got 85 Bears as the greatest defense of all time though
"Larry Bird was so good you could wear his jersey in the hood"- Charles Barkley
"From Second Street to Bourbon Street"- this became the rallying cry for the 85 Bears in training camp to get to Super Bowl 20 because after practice they would hit the local bars which were located on Second Street and the Super Bowl was being played in New Orleans that year
