Clippers of Nfl Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 I've been a Bills fan all my life. I've also been a Red Sox fan all my life - lived there and had season tix for Fenway from '84-'90 - attended the '86 World Series (Bill Buckner). So I guess what I'm saying is, "Never give up hope" - it's what makes us true fans. And some day, we'll win that Superbowl..it's gonna happen. If not this season, next season... GO BILLSSS!!!! 14 and 6 baby!!!!! "I expect to win." - Chan Gailey youtube.com/watch?v=HmEe7vHpKCg this cracked me up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcali Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 We were Fergie ander OJ in the streets when I was a kid. What keeps me going? The draft and to a much lesser extent free agency. So basically by the last quarter of the season through April I have hope for future until the actual picks are made and F/As signed, then its mostly downhill from there. Throw in bonus hope for new coach every 3 years. Though I am amazed at the job Chan has done with an offense of Ryan Fitzpatrick, and bunch of F/As at WR and on the line. 8 year olds had no difficulty immitating Fergy.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 8 year olds had no difficulty immitating Fergy. Easy for you to say. Fergy had a great arm. Most people don't. You did (or still do… it's been many years). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) Hopeful is an excellent writer of prose but I didn't know about the artistic side. Song lyrics? I might just have to look up that Lady Gaga song. It's funny that I love coming here to read some of our great posters and then I go read an online newspaper and often end up just wanting to leave critical comments.

But I was referring to the hang dog expressions and yelling at/calling out teammates in front of everyone.Always made me uncomfortable.-Probbly did the same for you.I thought it was childish/immature behavior on Fergys part. Fergy had wonderful accuracy though didnt he??--along with a good strong arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canbuffan34 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 After 21 years of fanhood, that's pretty much my answer. "Hun, I just like a bad team" "Girls, I just like a bad team" "Bill (my dog), I just like a bad team" ruff ruff My little girls do their cheering every week, but even that doesnt work. I have been advised by fair weathered fans to pick another team....That will never work. After 21 years???? So at the end of the day, all I can say is, "I just like a bad team" Dammit!!!!!! I really dont think this will ever change either. for all the old timers, what has helped you remain a fan? ps This is not negative nancy, im normally positive peter. this post is coming from realistic rick. As a 30+ year fan like yourself, I can feel your pain and frustration Rick. The one thing I've always told myself through all the ups and downs of so many seasons is this.. 1) Do I like the players? Their character, their work ethic, their passion and effort? The answer for the most part save for a few idiots ie: Rob Johnson, Travis Henry et al. is Yes! 2) Would I enjoy cheering for another team? Maybe, but I truly don't think so. I can unequivically say that a SB Championship would not and could not mean more to another teams fans and city than it would to Buffalo! 3) Sometimes it gets hard and tries your patience to be a Bills fan, but let me tell you a story that happened to me a few years ago... I was a Bar manager and I was working a slow Monday night shift and the Bills were playing the Dolphins in Miami on MNF. This customer that was kind of a regular, noticed my attention being on the TV instead of his almost empty glass of draft beer. He could clearly see by my reaction to the game that I was a Bills fan but he still asks the question, " You a Bills fan?" I respond that I am. Then he says, " Yeah, I used to be a Buffalo Bills fan but I'm not anymore!" I looked at him almost sympathetically and very clearly stated " No, you never were." As I write this I'm 43 years old, I figure with a little luck.. I'll live to see maybe 75? Is it too menial or shallow to hope that before I die I'll see the Bills win one? If so, I guess that makes me shallow. Oh well, I've been called worse.. Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Ive been a fan since OJ and JD Hill Days. I just like to see them win one for Ralph, more importantly for the City of Buffalo just once. Time is running out. Glad they still in Buffalo. But for how long?? Even thought they loss more than not I still watch. It Better to have a team than no team at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've stated here several times, when I die, I'll be buried (or cremated) with some sort of Bills memorabilia alongside me. I too am shallow.

Thanks, Fluffhead and SJBF for the kind word! I wish I had time to cut a video of it for y'alls entertainment. I know just what film clips of plays I'd put where The Lady Gaga version is kind of blase' though the end of the video is funny. To really appreciate the potential of the song, listen to Gaga's version first then check out this Science-focused parody: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl4L4M8m4d0 PS you may have to recognize the materials the costumes are made from in order to laugh hard enough to fall off your chair Edited December 1, 2011 by Hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
