  1. I've lived in the DC area 36 years now, and I can honestly say, that's the most accurate portrayal of Bills Mafia written by someone outside WNY. Nice job.
  2. I use to tell people that getting DTV 20 years ago, was one of my best consumer decisions. No more. You are absolutely correct, they are an awful company. Every year, I spend hours on the phone with them to avoid annual price hikes. To their credit, I've gotten Sunday Ticket sometimes free or at a discounted price, but no more...I'm going YouTubeTV as soon as the season is over.
  3. DTV sent me a letter via snail mail last week, saying my service is going up $8/month in January. What corporate genius authorized that while they're blacking out channels? Dumping them after the season...been a customer over 20 years and seen their product/customer service gradually go in the crapper.
  4. Meh...not a fan of the all red, white cap ketchup bottle look.
  5. All home teams are required to announce their uniform selection BEFORE the season starts, and the road teams must announce shortly afterwards. The Bills are among the minority of teams that keep a lid on it and release their home jerseys on a week to week basis. Most announce what uniforms they'll be wearing each weekend before the season starts.
  6. My father was on a ammo supply ship that fateful December morning, with tons of munitions on board. Thankfully, they were only strafed...they were tied up to a pier, a five iron shot from the oil tank farm. Had the aggressors dropped just one bomb on the tank farm, the entire fuel supply for the Pacific fleet would have been lost. There was some dumb luck involved, which saved the fleet: the oil farm wasn't touched, the carriers weren't in port and a third wave never happened. We got our payback less than six months later at Midway.
  7. I didn't know it either...never heard him mention it on any of the MNF telecasts or on ESPN Radio. I had to google it. Strange.
  8. Question for admittance: What does "Belinda" mean?
  9. W/DirecTV, our local CBS station has gone dark because of carriage/money disputes. I remember a time when DirecTV seemed like the only carrier that wouldn't lose stations because of these money squabbles. With another rate hike on the horizon, looks like it's time to get rid of DTV...after the season, of course.
  10. Keep them grey or make them blue; not a huge fan of the white facemasks on the white helmets.
  11. Yup, nine point lead in the fourth quarter pissed away...the recently departed Jake Scott with two INTs.
  12. 1975 started out so promising, 4-0...then inconsistency settled in and the Bills finished an underwhelming 8-6.
  13. Bills-Saints 1989 entire game:
  14. I actually found this video oddly entertaining.
  15. It's not about the color, the NFL just wants players in the same helmet all season, for "safety" purposes. This was not the case in 1994 when, during the NFL's 75th anniversary, the Bills stayed with the red helmet with the white standing buffalo. They were just lazy...they could have gone with the white helmet then but chose not to.
  16. Chargers will be in monotone all dark blue, so the Bills will be in white, possibly throwbacks.
  17. Gave up my 1998 Avalon, with 148k miles, a year ago. Hated to do it; just needed too much work to justify putting $2k into it.
  18. In no particular order: Robb Riddick Roland Hooks Kenny Davis Frank Reich James Harris
  19. Rickles, Carlin, Rodney, Seinfeld
