  1. I have recently moved and will be giving away all of the Bills memorabilia I have collected over the years, including a Thurman Thomas autographed mini helmet, a replica of Ralph Wilson Stadium, bobble heads, hard hat, lamp and much, much more. I am still gathering everything together but it should be ready to go in the next week or so. Message me if you have an interest in picking it up in Elmira, NY.

    Very sad!  For whatever reason, he thought he was recovering.  RIP!

     

    One of my brothers died at the age of 59 of the same thing: glioblastoma. It's pretty much always fatal, usually within a year and a half to two years. 

     

    It's so sad for the family. RIP,  Mr. Doleman.

    He was supposed to have had a real good training camp/preseason with the Ravens last offseason but was apparently attacked at a bar just before the start of the season and IRd, he was traded to the Vikings this year around the time the Bills played them in the Preseason, he bombed and was released, then picked up for week 1 by the Jets where he was the kicker that missed all the FGs helping the Bills beat the Jets and was later released where I don't think he was picked up afterwards 

     

    He is a Punter & Kicker that teams seem to think can maybe do both for them. I believe  most of his game action has been as a kicker over punter

     

    I work with a guy who was Kaare Vedvik's college roommate and they still keep in touch. My colleague told me he is very excited to get another chance, with the Bills this time. He spent a lot of time in the hospital after getting beat up in Baltimore (nice place, huh?) and it really set him back both mentally and physically. (Imagine being right out of college after coming from Norway - and then you get beat up as your start your first job in a new, unfamiliar city!) Sounds like he has a great work ethic and really, really wants to get back on track. Could be a great pickup for the Bills!

    Anyone else find it strange that it’s likely going to be GB vs KC, a rematch of Super Bowl I in the NFL’s 100th season. A little strange is all I’m suggesting.


    I’m betting that the NFL would be very happy with that Super Bowl I matchup for their 100th season.

     

    BTW, it’s also strange that all the “bird” teams (Ravens, Seahawks, Eagles) and all the “hoof/horn” teams (Buffalo, Vikings, Texans) are out. 

  5. I remember watching something on TV years ago when a crusty old retired firefighter from Boston started talking about a little girl he pulled from a fire in his younger years. As he was telling the story, he was noticeably choked up. The little girl was obviously not going to survive and he tried to comfort her in her final moments, but she told him that she wasn’t afraid because the angels were there and were singing her song. She said everyone has their own unique song and the angels sing it when you are born and when you die. 

     

    R.I.P., Golden Wheels.

    It's bush league for sure, but in this case the refs did the right thing: they took him off the field, made him take the mandatory on-field tests, wait the obligatory 15 minutes, take the follow up tests, and only then cleared him to return. Not sure what else they could do.

     

    So, do you think he confessed to the medical staff that he was just faking it like a soccer flopper? Pretty funny, huh, guys? I had you fooled and wasted your time but, hey, I'm Julian Edelman baby!

    I would rather have our own tradition and not steal (or Steel) one

     

    As I noted in another post, this song was on the radio as I drove to work this morning and it seemed to fit this Bills team:

    The magic began January 5, 2002 during a playoff game against Cleveland. The Browns held a 17-7 halftime lead. By the beginning of the second half they stretched it out to 24-7........(crew played Renegade) As the slow, melodic intro echoed out across the depressed fans, everyone felt the sense of failure. Even the music controller gave up. 45 seconds later, the atmosphere changed. The screams of the song gave fans a needed wake up call, and the stadium became alive with excitement.  The crowd was back in the game, and the team responded. (...)Tommy Maddox followed by leading a 66-yard drive to pay dirt to cut the lead to 24-14.  (....) The final quarter was capped off by Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala’s touchdown run and Randle El’s pass to Jerame Tuman for the two-point conversion.

    (....)

    The song works. Teams have yet to score this year on a drive after "Renegade" is played.

     

    Until now.

     

    Apparently the Bills players were so used to and psyched up by that song that Phillips and Barkley were trolling the Steelers fans during it:

     

    What's happening, Joe B, is that per Allen's presser, McDermott had that song played so much during practice that the guys got used to it.

    So we went on down and scored.  PS Joe B, you can belly up for your Crow Pie portion for picking the Bills to lose any time now.....

     

    SHOUT!

     

    Wow - I had no idea about this... Thanks for posting!!!
