  1. Who in the hell is saying Eichel isn't that good???
  2. Agreed. After MJ retired after the last 3 peat I like many others quit watching the sport pretty abruptly. And it wasn't just Jordan retiring, alot of the other great 80s/90s players were starting to leave and the NBA went through a transition phase. I started watching again more seriously back in 2009/2010 as the Bulls were starting to become a legitimate team again and at the same time the league itself was starting to get very compelling and interesting and I've been really enjoying the NBA again ever since. Also have to give LeBron his props for bringing back basketball fans in droves
  3. Me and a couple of my buddies tossed the idea around of making the short trip to Cleveland not so much to get tickets to an actual game but just to take in the party atmosphere especially if we could time it during a clinching game but with real world duties nobody really has the time or funds to go through with it. We all pretty much agreed if we were back in our early 20's we would've went 100%. One thing I've never gotten to experience in my life is being in a city during a Sports championship victory. Ideally I want the first time to be for either a Bills or Sabres championship or to a lesser extent a Chicago Bulls title(they've always been my favorite basketball team growing up in the MJ era) but the thought of just hanging out in Cleveland(and no I would not be parading around in Cavs gear pretending im a fan and my team just won) did sound pretty cool
  4. I agree it was definitely awesome but I take it you've never seen Larry Bird or Magic Johnson play before?
  5. He was one of the best. I still have Heenan as the GOAT
  6. No but he's back to being completely irrelevant in my life just like he was before his name was in the hat for buying the Bills
  7. Piper was another great one on the mic. Can't forget about Jake the Snake either
  8. My Mount Rushmore: Macho Man Flair Shawn Michaels Stone Cold Best Manager: Bobby the Brain Announce team: Bobby the Brain and Monsoon
  9. I think Nigel Bradham is going to have a breakout year
  10. That's awesome, I always smile when I see that one which is somewhat frequently because like I said that one is a staple in many bars all over the area. Will be cool to start making some new memories soon hopefully. A poster of our starting defensive line right now would be great
  11. I'll always be partial to the Frank Reich comeback game poster that can still be found to this day hanging up in barrooms all across Western New York
  12. Since I gotta work on Monday I'm gonna get some golf in tomorrow and some BBQ'ing Sunday
  13. http://stationcaster.com/stations/wedg/media/mp3/Rex_Ryan_w__Shredd___Ragan___-1432036984.mp3 There's the link if anybody is interested in listening to the interview, pretty good stuff
  14. Rex Ryan was on Shred and Ragan this morning(local Buffalo radio talk show) and he brought this topic up and said that he ran into Andre during Super Bowl weekend and Andre expressed interest in doing this and Rex said absolutely..He also went on to say that he wants all those legendary Bills to know that they will always have a home in Buffalo and they can come by practice anytime they want. I really like how Rex is embracing our team history.
  15. I remember Nate Newton stating in a Sports Illustrated article that back in the Cowboys Super Bowl years during training camp they would send the rookies out to get cases of beer and fried chicken from KFC for their post practice meals. Overall nutrition and health wasn't nearly as big of a deal or monitored back then like it is nowadays
  16. I love the "original" Simpsons era but its beyond time for this show to be put out of its misery and this might be the perfect timing now
  17. Shot glasses from any major city I visit
  18. This is exactly the type of tone I hope the film takes. I think the 4 Super Bowl losses have been covered pretty well but the 90s Bills were so much more than that. I don't think you will ever see another professional sports team have a connection to its fanbase that the Bills did from 1986 to 1996. The players personalities(and Marv) were a perfect fit for our charismatic blue collar city. It was indeed a match made in heaven. I hope it spends some time on really showing how crazy and passionate the atmosphere was around town back then. I don't think the younger fans truly grasp it. I mean sure football is more popular now than ever but its just different these days, everything is just so much cheesier and force fed through social media. It felt more pure back then it was a simpler time and Buffalo really was just a blue collar town having the time of its life with their football team.
  19. My group had been planning on the KC game, absolutely awful timing with the weekend it falls on. Right now in the process of seeing if we can still make it work
  20. So your telling me there's a chance! As a Bills fan that one always connected with me
  21. So many great ones The Best That Never Was was excellent(about Marcus Dupree, I enjoy learning more about some of the guys that didn't make it big that were projected to be mega stars and what their story is) The Jimmy Valvano one Jordan Rides The Bus Reggie Miller and Winning Time(as a huge fan of 90s era NBA I thought that was a great topic to cover) The one about Len Bias, although it was very sad The Bernie and Ernie show Elway to Marino as already mentioned
  22. I know exactly what your talking about. Either 2003 or 2004 in an NFL Countdown segment on ESPN they interviewed T.O. and asked him who he thought the best 3 WR's in the game were, He said Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison, and Eric Moulds and talked about how underrated he was. Apparently they used to also play some basketball together during the offseason. Moulds was a tremendous all around athlete, its a shame he never got a chance to play in an offense where he could shine...One thing I will always remember vividly about Eric Moulds was when we were playing against Baltimore and Bledsoe threw a pick that was being returned, Willis McGahee was in perfect position to make the tackle and just quit on the play, it looked like the returner was going to take it back for a Touchdown but then you see Moulds come flying down the other side of the field and makes the tackle to save the touchdown. The reporters asked him about that play after the game and he just said that he played with Bruce and Thurman and Andre and he learned not to ever quit when your out on that field and when you put on a Bills uniform you are representing those that guys that he played with and you could tell he sincerely had the utmost respect for those guys, very similar to the way Rex has embraced our football history. The whole thing gives me the goosebumps to this day
  23. Dude thats awesome! I remember Bruce and Bennett used to tell each other "Let's meet at the quarterback" I think we finally have some current D-lineman who share that same philosophy!
  24. Yup and I am hoping we start to see this become a new trend with the Bills now in this new era under Pegula. Exciting times to be a Bills fan again!
