If he's alive & well, yes, but he knows he can't beat 44 straight. I once had a streak where I went to every Bills home game except preseason for 16 full seasons and parts of two others(front of streak middle of 1990 season, end of streak middle of 2007 season). I started a new one in December 2008 & I made every one the last 2 seasons. I'll never get up to 16 seasons again, but I've started a new streak.

Do you take a chance on Jake Locker?

I think Gailey loves Ponder, has since high school, and if he can get Buddy to agree, Ponder will be our 2nd round pick. Chan talked up Ponder Senior Bowl week like he's already his coach. -
Don't be sorry, it wasn't your fault. It was the guy who published the article. There's nothing wrong with a spelling error on TSW, it's when the articles are written by guys who don't know how to spell people's names that is the problem.

Felser?

It really has to hurt because the Packers are in it. Any time a streak like that has to end, it's agony. When it's your own health that ends it, it's even worse.

He's in the hospital, he had to give his tickets to his daughters: http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/super-bowl/local/20110204-illness-ends-wisconsin-mans-streak-with-never-miss-a-super-bowl-club.ece

Jacksonville Jaguars Stun NFL and are in the Super Bowl
Albany,n.y. replied to EC-Bills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I knew this was going to happen one day! Sometimes Ralph Wilson passes us in the stadium on his way to his box. One time I begged Ralph to fill out the necessary paperwork. I even handed him the necessary papers and a pen to sign them. All he said is "I'm too old for this s***", threw the papers & pen on the ground and proceeded to his luxury box. That's why Jacksonville is in the Super Bowl and the Bills are home. -
You might have the wrong guy. The article refers to "Art Schlicter". The former QB, who spent the 1986 preseason with the Bills until the day Jim Kelly signed is Art Schlichter. So maybe Art Schlichter really is innocent.

Assumming the Bills took a QB at #3
Albany,n.y. replied to CosmicBills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree with you, but let's not revise history. Eli Manning sat the 1st 9 games of his rookie year behind Kurt Warner. With the Giants 5-4, Coughlin made the switch to Manning. Carson Palmer sat out his entire rookie year. Jon Kitna played every down. Palmer wasn't even put in to mop up in the 4th quarter. -
Parking at RWS is cheap compared to Dallas
Albany,n.y. replied to Just Jack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You just don't know where to go. There are a number of port-a poties where at most you have a 1 or 2 person wait, if any. Now I'm not talking after noon, but before noon there are plenty. However, since I know where they are & I don't want anyone ruining it for me, I'm not telling -
The right system is Pee-wee football. If the parents are willing to let him play with/against their kids, he can dominate.

Dallas High School coed guilty of cussing in class

Her parents should have scheduled a parent teacher conference with the teacher and asked "What did our daughter say that was so offensive to you, you f****** b****? -

A lot different than the Bills Super Bowl years. In Minnesota there was no need to park anywhere because the municipalities teamed with the motels and anyone staying in an area motel that wasn't within walking distance of the Metrodome had a free shuttle bus to the game. In Pasedena, the official Rose bowl general parking, at what I think was a golf course next to the Rose Bowl was $10, if I recall correctly. I'm not sure about Tampa & Atlanta because we had bus transportation as part of our Super Bowl packages, but Atlanta had a pretty good subway system. Isn't there any mass transit near the stadium or did JJ build it somewhere where a parking gouge would be guaranteed? -
He'll be wearing one having done less than Rob Johnson did the year Rob got his ring. I guess years from now he can wear the ring even though he never has and never will play in an NFL game. I hope he never gets so low that he walks around with the ring claiming to be Aaron Rodgers. Trivia question: What do you, me & Graham Harrell have in common: Answer: None of us has ever played in an NFL game.

Could a Lockout be Good for Us Fans??

Lower pay, same results. -

Pretty stupid & not very funny. But if you laughed, maybe you're just stupid enough to enjoy it. Thanks for realizing I'm a genius. -

Why do people like you post outright lies & think you can get away with it? 1st of all, there was no strike in "'07", the 2007 team was 7-9 all by themselves. Giving you all benefit of the doubt, let's assume you typo'd and meant 1987, the year that there was a strike team. In 1987 the strike team went 1-2, the real team went 6-6 for a final record of 7-8. Where did you come up with 4-0 when only 3 games were played during the strike and the fake Bills lost 2 of them? -
Because in fantasy-land the Bills can trade anything to anybody and they'll just roll over & make the deal. I've got a better idea-Nix should get both movie versions of "The Producers", study them carefully and figure a way to trade our 1st round pick to all 31 other teams. Then we'll have the rest of the 1st round. Instead of Bialystock & Bloom, it will be Nix & Gailey.

17 years ago, on this date the Bills last Super Bowl was played. Around this time 17 years ago, I took the duct tape off the envelope that I had placed my Super Bowl ticket in and attached inside my shirt for safe keeping and took the ticket out. Petrino took the stitches out of his ticket that he had sewn to his shirt and now was ready to present at the Georgia Dome. We then waited for our bus to arrive at Knight's Inn in Marietta,Ga. and take us to Atlanta. I had 4 similar mornings in 4 cities between 1991 and 1994. In 1991 it was waiting for the bus at the Bill-Mar hotel in Treasure Island, Fla, 1992 at the Budgetel outside Minneapolis, and in 1993 it was leaving the Ramada Inn in Anaheim, Ca, driving to Pasedena at 7:30 AM and ended up being the 2nd car to get into the general parking area next to the Rose Bowl. There may never be another morning like that again.

They might, but Marvin Lewis throwing the kids on the O-line under the bus saying they're not doing what the coaches told them to do is classless. Marvin is looking for excuses instead of accepting the fact that Chan is schooling him.

I just paid for my 2011 Season Tickets
Albany,n.y. replied to Albany,n.y.'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I saw something about a refund policy if games are cancelled, but I didn't open it. It would be great news if they started the season on time but had to cancel 1 or both of the exhibition games and we got our money back for worthless tickets. -
I was watching Real Sports last night and they did a segment on 300 + pound linemen in the NFL. They showed clips from years ago showing interviews with former players who got even heavier after the NFL. Two of them died young. Then they showed Nate Newton. The guy had stomach surgery in 2010 to restrict his food intake and he's lost about 180+ pounds. There's no way anyone who hasn't seen the new Newton would ever believe he was an NFL O-lineman who weighed well over 300 pounds. At his worst, he ended up around 400 pounds after he left the NFL. I couldn't find any clips from the HBO show, but if you scroll down on the link, you'll see the current version of Nate Newton: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Former-Cowboys-star-Nate-Newton-has-lost-175-pou?urn=nfl-282606

The Real State of the Union 2011 - Top Ten List

The Bills sent an e-mail today that links to where you can pay for your tickets. It looks like the tickets are the same price as last year but with one more game included. The tickets cost $432 + $4 fee for a total of $436. That equals $48 per game. Last year was $388 ($384 + $4) so $384/8 also equals $48 per game. The face value of the tickets is $55. You can look at it 2 ways. The discount per game is 12.7%, or you can look at it the way I do. There are 7 "real" games. $55x7=$385. The $432 I'm paying minus $385 equals $47. So I'm paying $23.50 for each pre-season game, which I'll be giving away.
