eme123 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Of course! No worries, just loved the article and wasn't in tune with everything posted within the Training Camp thread. Plus, I don't know how to delete. I assume they will take care of that for me. I thought about posting this link in its own thread. It was a really great read. Thanks for doing it.

GG Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) I think you posted the wrong link. This is the correct one. Or maybe this one? Of course there was this gem. And then people wonder why OBD loves the national football writers. Edited July 31, 2013 by GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 My favorite part of the article is this: "The Bills practiced for two hours in the morning, followed by media stuff and the important part of the day: two glasses of Guinness at Thirsty’s, the best bar in the world with no name on it. True. It’s a plain white house in the middle of Pittsford. You’d have to know it, though, to know it’s there." #highschoolmemories Followed by a garbage plate right next door at Hungry's!

dascottbills28 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Thanks for not burying this in that mess of a training camp thread I totally agree! Its super annoying when those threads get to like 100 plus posts and you cant even find what ya want. Id much rather have several related threads instead of just one big thread.

boyst Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Am I the only one there familiar with the Toledo offense?

Peter Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 http://mmqb.si.com/2...alo-bills-camp/ Peter King: Meet the Thrill-a-Minute Bills Thanks for posting. If you had not posted this as an independent thread, I probably would not have seen it. My favorite part of the article: “We meet a security guard,’’ said Brandon, “and he asked what we’re doing there, and he asked if we were there to see E.J. I said we were. He said, ‘I’ve been here 37 years, and he’s the best kid we’ve ever had.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 great article firstly. and most importantly a story or two about thirstys. a hole in the wall in a well heeled neighborhood. been there forever as far as i know. First story is i had a beer delivery guy kinda helping me back up a Dodge van late 70s model and extended from factory . So the semi drunken beer delivery guy decides to be helpful and help me back out of the crowded parking lot to be nice. so i check my mirrors (honestly , i wasnt shitted up this time). and slowly started to back up as i sa him flag me to keep going. I give the 360 a bit of gas to get it rolling and i dont see the guy all of a sudden. then THUD. Oh Jeebus what happened? stop mid back up and get out to find him dusting off and a bit discombobulated. I reparked the land barge and we went back in to see if he wanted ambulance or anything at all I am a decent guy like that. I gave him my phone number and bought him a couple beers. he took a good shot but never complained or called. Thats Thirstys. surprised they carry guiness actually but its been 20 + years. Hungry i had forgotten about . Back to the point Thanks for posting the article . Nice to get some love from the media as rare as it is. i dont even care if it's genuine anymore : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 I think you posted the wrong link. This is the correct one. Or maybe this one? Of course there was this gem. And then people wonder why OBD loves the national football writers. Well, yes, I think all the stories from training camp are going to be on the optimistic side for the NFL writers because this is the time of year everyone can be that way! Except, maybe the Browns - I live in Ohio so there always seems to be gloom and doom about them no matter what time of year it is. Enjoy it for what it's worth. King has a knack for setting the scene of the different camps and bringing in the local flavor and he loves beer, so glad he enjoyed Thirsty's.

MattM Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 go Fairport ! That made me (an ER guy) just about spit up (and post)--I remember Thirsty's fairly well from my youth (Thursday night's in the summers I was back home), but spent more time down on the ER bar strip, not too surprisingly. Even more so since one of my best friends' godfather was(and still is) the owner of PG's back when they had quarter drafts and 10 cent wings on Monday nights and lines half a block long to get in. My, how things have changed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The little brown Jug has been the trophy awarded to either the East Rochester high school team or the Fairport team at the end of the year. Just as rivalry token. It was great . Big glass case at FPT probably same ER. That was just americana as it should be back then. even the fighting and stealing girlfriends from town to town. Made for great drama. and some great football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love hearing stuff about city rivalries like this. Bet it made for some great times. Adirondacks, ER, Fairport and all over our beloved Bills are the glue......I think I'm drunk right now.......

Made for great drama. and some great football I agree that that game was great back in the day, until Fairport just got too big and started mauling us. My junior year was the last year ER won the jug, but before that we did a pretty good job regularly beating a school (and many others like it) that were at least 3-4 times our size. Great battles between Don Quinn (our coach) and Coach Santini of Fairport. Epic stuff, and epic antics off the field as well (my buddies and I started the "LIttle Brown Mug" game, a touch game organized by the schools' student councils, our Senior year, for ex.). Someone should make a movie out it. If you know Phillip Seymour Hoffman (a Fairport alum), tell him you have a script for him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
