Great story, @Alphadawg7. Love it. And love the thread, getting to read everyone else’s Josh stories too.
Just a great reminder of why this site is so great, why Josh is so great, and why it’s so great to be a Bills fan.
Totally forgot Burkett was still on the team that year. I thought he was already gone at that time.
I remember exactly where I was when I watched that on TV, and I'll always remember Donovan's call in my head.
Great pick, but as the announcer said, Marino totally missed Jensen wide open over the middle. Game over. Ouch!
I agree, I thought it was an interesting option for Cook. I've always felt the sweet spot for Cook contract-wise was about $12-$12.5 per year, but what I haven't been able to figure out is (a) if the Bills really want to spend that much on the RB position, or (b) what kind of impact that would have on the cap going forward.
Been searching for a while for one of my favorite catches of his, the toe-tap TD against Tampa. Turns out it was from 1978, and I was able to find it in his highlights from the 1978 Bills video:
