  1. Sort of on-topic: John Sullivan, the Rams center, went to the middle school where I work. He stops by every now and then to say hello... a real nice, down-to-earth guy. It's a bit of a long-shot, but I hope he gets a Super Bowl ring to show us the next time he's in town.

  2. I moved to "New England" [*spit] in 1998, specifically to SW Connecticut - right in the heart of Jersey Jets, Jersey Giants and NE Patriots fandom. Prior to moving my feelings about the Patriots were pretty neutral... and Drew Bledsoe always seemed very beatable. Yet eerily coinciding with my move here, the Bills started their descent into heartbreaking mediocrity and the Patriots began their Dynastic ascent. First there was the "Just Give it to Them" Game! Then came other head-scratching, ref-assisted losses to New England, like the one where a Patriot player's helmet was supposedly out of bounds, negating a critical fumble. Finally, as if Destiny's Hand intervened, Mo Lewis took out the bumbling statue Drew Bledsoe and opened the path for Tommy Terrific! Meanwhile, after the Music City Miracle, the Bills quickly became a laughing stock. Patsie fans seemingly came out of the woodwork and became increasingly obnoxious, making even "Wide-Right" Giants fans seem tame by comparison. So, yes, I DO hate the Patriots! It is a deserved and well-cultivated hatred!

     

    Thankfully my time left in "New England" [*triple spit] is coming to an end: I will be retiring and moving back HOME to Elmira in 2020! By that time I expect the tide to turn back in the Bills' favor and the Patsies to sink back into blissful nothingness.

  3. A year ago I would have wanted Brady to have an injury, but I have since softened on that. I'd love to see KC pummel him around a great deal tomorrow and beat the Pats convincingly, but without any real injuries in the process. The tide will turn eventually and their dynasty will fall, but other teams have to earn the top spot by wresting it away from them. It seems that the more I despise the Patriots, the better they do... so I just have to let it go.

    That win inflated Bills egos and was a major reason the Giants completely outcoached and outplayed the Bills

     

    Out-cheated, too: Bellicheat having his players fake injuries to slow the no-huddle.

     

    I would want the Bills to beat the Jersey Giants in some heart-breaking fashion that causes their annoying fans to forever abandon the "Wide Right" jab.

    Being from Long Island, I hate the jets and giants. Both fan bases are dumber than a box of rocks. But, giants fans are just douches and I’m talking about my family mainly. “Wide right, always a brides maid never the bride, and no one wants to play in buffalo.” 

     

     

    Yep - "Classy" Jersey Giants fans just can't resist the Wide Right jab. I enjoy reminding them that there is only ONE NFL team in New York State.

    I live in Maine. I hate the Patriots so very much. Patriots fans are the only thing I really hate about living here; every other negative about Maine (isolation, rampant poverty, lack of culture) is relatively minor to me, especially in light of what a beautiful place this is. I won't go to the bar when the Pats game is on; I have been aggressively harassed and threatened just for being a Bills fan, even when (especially when) the Pats are throttling us. The accent just makes it worse. They are the worst fans in sports. And the wings suck, and of course they serve them with Ranch. 

     

    I am STILL trying to find decent wings in CT! Typically, the ones around here are rubbery - not crispy - and SMALL, more the size of pigeon wings! 

  7. I was driving back home to Elmira from a friend's birthday party in Toronto. Listening to the Bills games on the radio while driving made me nervous back then, so I kept the radio off the entire trip and had absolutely no idea of the score at any point in the game. I had to stop for gas and a pitstop in Lewiston. When I went in to pay, a crowd was huddled around a small ceiling-mounted TV above the cashier - it was the final kick that won the game for the Bills! While I watched, I was thrilled that the Bills won but didn't know about the historic comeback at that point. One of the customers told me how far behind the Bills had been at one point, but I honestly didn't have an appreciation for it until later.

    The first one was done by my father, he did the covers of the programs from 1961-1964. He also did some of the signage at the Rockpile. Within the weekly programs, he did some Bills related stuff like cartoon bodies of the players in the Bill Cody gear with their headshots on the cartoon body. I used to get copies of all of the programs since Dad also was the salesman for Holling Press which printed the weekly programs. Around 1976, Mom in a cleaning frenzy tossed out "those old programs of yours" 

     

    The second one is from the AAFC Buffalo Bills from 1947-1949. According to Dad, when the Buffalo Bills came back into existence in 1959, his boss asked him to try to get the Bills account, Mr. Wilson was planning on bringing back the old Bill Cody after one of the west coast teams (LA Chargers) used a version of it in their weekly program. They asked him to do one, and after Mr Wilson gave the approval,  he would create a new one about a week or two before the game. I remember watching him draw them first in pencil, then ink, then with the 3 color transparent drapes that would be used for production.

    Thank you so much for sharing this! As an amateur cartoonist myself, I love reading about other cartoonists - especially the old style crosshatchers. Hopefully you still have some of your father's old pen nibs, holders, and ink bottles. Are you also an artist, Guffalo?

    I didn’t really hate Joe Montana but living in Niner country was tough at times.  Still the lasting memory of a dinged Montana in a Bills playoff rout over the Chiefs was sweet.

     

     I would like to see a similar scenario with Brady.

     

    Joe Montana was (is) a decent, likable guy... a regular Joe, so to speak. Brady is not, and I think he enjoys being despised for the arrogant jerk that he is.

     

    On that last day of Montana’s career in Buffalo he looked like he had a concussion. I would enjoy seeing Brady’s career end in Buffalo, too, with him sitting on the bench not knowing where - or even WHO he is! Is that mean?

    The refs being worse for us than they have been.

     

    I know what its like to be on the wrong side of reffing. Waaaay back when i was a wrestler this retard awarded the other kid four penalty points costing me the match and i let the ref have it and after that word got around and those clowns were on me for everything and mystery calls as well. It was a royal pain in the ass wrestling the opponent and the refs too. I wish i had kept my mouth shut as it made it that much harder from there on out.

     

    Ultimately, the only way to turn the lopsided officiating around is to coach the players to go full "Eddie Haskel" and be as profoundly polite as possible to every ref, every game. 

     

     

  11. I never much cared for having Bledsoe come to Buffalo. As a QB for the Patriettes, he never scared me and always seemed beatable (unlike Mr. Bundchen). Anyway, someone gave me a bobblehead of Bledsoe in a Bills jersey. I kept it until, with little time left during a meaningful game, he threw a pass OUT OF BOUNDS on forth down! That's when I ran over that stupid bobblehead multiple times and tossed it in the trash with my dog's poop bags.

     

     

    BTW, I honestly wish the Bills organization would prohibit any player from wearing #11 - ever!

    Was thrilled to see you back!  Did you see our 20-year birthday thread?

     

    I think Pats* fans know the end of their run is near with both coordinators probably leaving, Tommy Boy continuing to age, and whatever rift might exists with coaching/ownership due to his "fitness" guru.

     

    I haven't had a chance to look at the 20-year birthday thread yet, but will go through the whole thing when I get home from work. On a related note, do you remember Gregg D'Ville (or something close to that spelling)? He was from the old HyperBills days and definitely made the transition to TBD... but he seems to have vanished in recent years. Also, I've been trying to find Chris White from Wisconsin, too. Hopefully they're both alive and well and just too busy to post...

    I agree that the Super Bowl Commercial phenomenon jumped the shark a handful of years ago.  And about the stream of Patriots*-related obscenities. :censored:

     

    Hello, Jay - how are you doing? I've only recently taken the time to drop by TBD. It's good to be back, but I'm dismayed that there are so many Patsie fans that hang out here. What is their problem? It's as if they need to come here and engage in order to convince themselves that their team is as wonderful as they like to think it is.
