Dahmer attended Ohio State with Chris Ward

Ward played on the '82 Jets with Reggie McElroy

McElroy was on the '96 Broncos with Jason Elam

Elam was on the '07 Broncos with Travis Henry...

...to Brian Moorman to Ryan Fitzpatrick.

 

BOO-yah! :beer:

 

Alternatively (and more abstractly), Jeffrey Dahmer liked his men...

"Ground up and in the freezer" becomes a rallying cry along with "F5" for an epic TBD thread...

Mario Williams signs with the Buffalo Bills...

Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Bills at New England* November 11, 2012...

Brandon Spikes cheap shots Freddy in the head in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, costing the Bills a timeout in a 31-37 game...

Buffalo drives 65 yards in a minute and forty three seconds to the Patriots 15 yard line...

Ryan Fitzpatrick throws an interception in the endzone to Devin McCourty when TJ Graham runs the wrong route, with Stevie and Chandler wide open in the corner of the endzone with 23 seconds left...

Bills lose to Patriots* in soul crushingly painful fashion yet again...

BEN DOVER!!!

You can probably do that sports-only, via some Bo Jackson-Deion Sanders baseball link.

 

Or if you turn to celebrity golf tournaments, you'll find just about any link you need.

Ok... impressive... I admit. I am a history buff. I bet you can't do...

 

John Adams

Abe Lincoln

Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette (yes that is the guy's full name)... and you can't use LaFayette Square, park, or street in Western NY, that is too easy.

Are you seriously challenging Bandit on these names??

 

I'll try one -

 

Abe Lincoln

Spike Lee is Abe Lincoln's 10th cousin, six times removed.

Spike Lee was in a commercial for Nike with Michael Jordan ("It's Gotta Be the Shoes")

....someone can take it from here.

Crazy how good you are at this...you've obviously played the Kevin Bacon game.

I practically invented the Kevin Bacon game...plus I used to watch a minimum of 5 movies per week through high school, college, and bachelor days.

Lincoln put McClellan in command of the Army of the Potomac

General Dix fought under McClellan

Dick McBride fought under Dix's command in 1864.

Dick McBride pitched for the Boston Red Stockings

The Boston Red Stockings ultimately became the Atlanta Braves, whom Deion Sanders played for...see previous Sanders/Bennie Anderson/Fitz link.

 

That's the best "sports only" link I can come up with.

I like how you guys sprinkle in a little American History with these generational branches back to Fitz. I bet he doesn't even really understand how important he is to the framework of our nation. He's like a modern day Forest Gump. His stay here in Buffalo was but a speck of dust that continues to touch the hearts and minds of athletes, movie stars and political figures throughout our nation. Who woulda thunk it?

 

Me:

 

I played little league w/ a guy who played on the Hermitage HS football team w/ Darren Sharper.

 

Darren Sharper played w/ Nick Barnett in GB.

 

Nick Barnett played w/ Fitz in Buffalo.

Nice. For the life of me, I can't get myself back to Fitz other than having season tix. That wouldn't count.
