DIE HARD 1967 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) I left out one important note, I was in my second year and told Ron McDole before the game that I was glad my rookie season was OVER! You get a lot of pranks from players when you are a rookie. SO,THE SHOE INCIDENT!!! Well, I did get even...... I stapled his jersey to a wooden hanger....lol I would guess 30 staples Edited October 13, 2010 by DIE HARD 1967 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Are you Dudley Meredith? I'm quite sure the Dudley Meredith is now deceased. The only reason I know the name is that he rented an apartment down the street from me (in Lackawanna, no less - how times have changed)....I remember him being in my living room (I believe it was Halloween for some reason) and he was such a good guy - just talking football with my Dad and I (I was born in '62, so I was probably 7-8 years old).

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 McDole's name brought back memeories of our early succes. Tom Day, Tom Szeztak, Jim Dunaway Ron McDole def front, Mike Stratton, Harry Jacobs, Jim Tracy at LBbs. George Saimes, Butch Byrd , Booker Edgerson, Tom Janik as dbs. That was some defense.

According to the book, THEY were playing pranks on the vetrans as rookies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I looked him up after I was told he died in '87. He only played with the Bills until mid-1968 season, so I was somewhere between 4-6 when I knew him......I went to my first Bills game in '68 when I was 6 and I remember seeing Dudley there. I just didn't realize that was his last year with the team - or part of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Bill Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I was about 4 when Ron McDole moved into the house a few doors down from us on Grand Island. I just remember he was really big, and my Dad told me that's because he's a football player for the Buffalo Bills. I remember asking "what's football?". My first introduction to the game ensued. After that I started watching some of the games, learning rules, etc. For a kid, it was pretty neat, like we had a celebrity in the neighborhood.

ChasBB Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Die Hard: Did you ever have a holding penalty nullify a Haven Moses TD against Cincy? Just askin' because I saw a reference to such in Abramoski's book (edit: oops, wrong book -- I mean Rockin the Rockpile) Oh, I should ask a more positive question -- did you help to set up the 1st score against the Broncos by returning a blocked field goal attempt?
