Interesting they are moving to New Year's Eve instead of New Year's Day now

It’s crazy how old these play-by-play guys end up being When they hang it up
It probably keeps them young. Would be an amazing way to make a living

First of all, that's a parody account.
Second, we know it's true, they are converting that area to Field Clubs with 15K PSLs.
Of course it's a parody account

Not sure if true or not. I was guessing 50 yard line seats would be at $10K for a PSL but this wouldn't surprise me

Were you around during the trial? I swear, I remember thinking the glove moment was such a joke. I felt like nobody could possibly believe for a second that OJ didn’t manipulate his hand and the glove.
1. Who wouldn’t if they were in his Bruno Magli’s?! What idiot is going to gleeful slip on the evidence.. hahahaha. Preposterous!!
2. He didn’t give a ***** about trying on the glove that the killer wore to squeeze the knife that killed his ex. Man, if anyone needs anymore evidence that he is deranged.. there you go.
So I question that juror’s claim, or the attempt of that 30for30 to cover the juror’s asses.
Makes way more sense that that juror took it out on the LAPD. It was a wild WILD time in LA for law enforcement back then. The mini series about the Biggie investigation, with the guy from The Wire, is a nice look into LA LE in the 90s.
Seinfeld knocked this out of the park

I worked at NBC for decades. Lots of rememberences on the NBC retiree FB page about OJ this week. The general consensus was he was very liked by crew and production in the 80s. He live big and generally treated people well. Several though have mentioned he could be a different person outside the workplace. Some funny stories about his antics on the road with Ahmad Rashad and the Production folks. But also, etc instances of berating Maitre D's and Valets. 2 people who would be in a postiion to know said they say him being pretty nasty to his wife at times: shoving her into a limo, yelling at her on phone, losing his temper etc late 80s and early 90s. I never really dealt with him myself but trust the word of the guys who mentione this.
I worked 4P-12M shift the night of the Bronco Chase . NBA Finals Game 5 was at Garden. Fascinating being in that control room. NBC had the NBA, Ebersol was all over the place talking to the News Specials Unit. News and Sports were fighting it out had no idea what to do, so they went with a split screen of the game and chase. Was so Jarring for the NBC people who knew OJ. a real WTF moment.
That has to be an insane life memory. Have you ever watched the 30 for 30 on that night? Thought they did a good job bringing all those things together. That will always be an Infamous day in American history.

What's the old saying about once you start talking retirement you've already mentally retired ?
Phillips was talking retirement at the end of last season.
If that's the case I've been mentally retired for a long time even though I'm nowhere close to actual retirement
I will miss Jordan Phillips the personality, but don't think we will miss too much from Jordan Phillips the player

Had an old friend I used to work with back in 2005-2008ish reach out to me about something. We exchange a few messages back and forth and then start talking about how neither one of us are in touch with anybody from the old job anymore(at the time a lot of us hung out together outside of work; happy hours and going out to watch Sabres games were a HUGE deal back then, overall fun memories that feel like forever ago) my buddy says something about how it's so hard to believe it's been that long ago now since we all worked there. I responded with it's been so long that the freaking Sabres were actually good back then and he responded with a LOL and how that really explains how much time has passed. Just wanted to share on here because if you measure how long ago other things were in your life by using the Sabres being relevant it's a pretty shocking Wow moment 🤣

Wasn't attendance for that game poor because of the weather? It ended up being okay for the game, but people didn't buy tickets prior because it was in the middle of a blizzard. I could be mis-remembering though
I was pretty young back then but I think it was more complicated than that. It has always been my understanding that at the time most people thought the Bills run back then was over at that point. They had just been embarrassed by Houston in a rough loss at the end of the regular season and were going to be without Kelly, Thurman, and Cornelius Bennett. It sounds bad now as they would go on to two more Super Bowls and nobody knew what history was about to happen in that game but going into the game there was a general feeling the "window was closed"

I highly recommend people give this Documentary a full watch and then come back and give your opinions on what a great guy OJ was

Even if he was pretending to be innocent he sure was able to show so much compassion for the situation

Personally I think it would be sad if the Bills didn't acknowledge his death. He was a GREAT Buffalo Bills player. I've met OJ on multiple occasions throughout my life and he's been one of the most approachable, gracious, ex-football players I've met. I wonder if any of the people that calls him a terrible human being ever met or spoken with him? Maybe he had a Jekyll/Hyde personality. I've had the pleasure of speaking to Dr. Jekyll each time
This is such a joke of an argument. I think there's a lot of people in here who never watched the OJ Simpson Made in America documentary which was well done. He just simply was not a good person. He was not only a sociopath but a huge NARCISSIST who was good at tricking people into thinking he was a decent guy. To me the fact that all of his old inner circle from back in the day walked away from the guy is most telling. They would know better than any of us. I get he was a great football player I really do but I think sadly some fans really seem to struggle letting go of those feelings of him being a great ball player.

I think that folks are "acknowledging" or "remembering" his success on the field, while correctly balancing that against the fact that he was a terrible human being. I don't think folks are "celebrating" his playing career. There are, unfortunately, a lot of people out there who have murdered other people. Many of them have been caught, tried, and convicted, and some have not. Very few (if any) were major stars in football, film, and TV media like OJ. It's really a tragedy that a guy who was literally sitting on top of the world ruined his own life and took the life of 2 others, and ruined the lives of their families and friends, as well as making life much more difficult for his own children. I'm glad he's gone.
This take I agree with, in a later post I clarified I was strictly referring to the posts where their only comment was either celebrating or mourning the guy. Many people had posts acknowledging their fond memories of OJ the football player while also mentioning it is tough celebrating him as a human being which is more than fair. But when finding out the news that OJ passed away and your first and only comment is Oh wow he ran for 2000 yards in a season it's kind of a joke IMO

They charged last year for the card also. You might have missed it but it was $10 per card.
My mistake then lol, I honestly don't remember that but not surprised

So, of all the things to hold an emotion over you choose to keep a special place in your heart for OJ Simpson? Weak.
I could care less about the guy, just find it sad people idolize the guy regardless of his football accomplishments

for me his football ability is separate from his off the field life. I'm acknowledging That prowess and what many of us saw back in the day.
Upon his passing away it would be weird not to bring it up on a Bills message board.
I can understand your post and others who admit they have conflicted feelings over the situation and especially those who grew up as OJ as their hero. That is a complicated position to be in. My original post was directed at those who are only celebrating or mourning OJ in their post.

Did you know him? Was your life personally affected by him?
If he held this power of emotion over you I suggest you seek an opportunity to explore more beneficial meanings in your life.
It's amazing to hear a lot of research on this that's been done which opens a legit case that OJ's son could have done it.
I watched the 8 Hour 30 for 30 series on him that opened up more than enough of his personal life to see what kind of human being is. A documentary which featured many of his real life close friends stopped talking to him in real life. Your delusional to defend this guy.

Well, it is a Bills football website and he was the best Bills player of all time, so I don’t understand your point…
By that logic I don't ever wanna see another thread on here complaining about Tyreek Hill or Ray Rice or whoever ever again. OJ was by far the biggest POS human being out of all of them. A real sociopath. I don't care how talented he was. The hypocrisy of football fans sure is something at times

I just got an email from my Season Ticket Rep on whether I wanted strictly electronic tickets or the Season Ticket Debit Card they offer as an option. I always elect for the Season Ticket card but there's a caveat this year where if you select that option(first time this is a thing) there is a $15 charge that comes with it. I mean $15 is whatever but yet again there's a principal involved here where they are continuing to find every way possible to squeeze more money out of the fans. Guess they still aren't happy enough with all the extra $$$$$ they are making from these PSL's🤣🤣
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am glad my time of being a ticket holder is coming to an end soon
