Nanker Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 What a terrible way to spend a day. Next time something like this comes up you could share the pain and agony and say raffle off the ticket to some poor soul here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerme1 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Thanks for posting this Jay. How freaking cool is that! You owe you're f/o guy something special. Uggh Berchtold. Was really hooping he wouldn't survive the transition. So much for that wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 One more pic: I think the figure in blue next to Scott Berchtold (behind the SI reporter) is Jill Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 That's very cool! I need a quality source. And probably a private jet to act on it. Your jersey has increased in value with that photo (beside the coming to your knees part). Thanks for the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Got a call from my front-office guy Monday saying SI would be doing an interview/photo shoot with Rex at the Big Tree for an article on the optimism in Buffalo since he arrived and asking if I wanted to be in the photo. Had to keep it on the down-low to avoid a stampede. Well DUH! Found out the next day that Jim & Thurman would also be included. So I took the day off and headed to Buffalo. The SI reporter talked to Rex at a back table while the assembled volunteers did what we do - had a few beers and talked Bills. Pinto Kenny was there, as were "The Chefs". Chatted with Jim & Thurman a bit. When the solo interview was over, they all went to a table, had some wings, and talked in front of the camera for about half an hour. Discussed how the Bills are so integral to the community and how Rex is fitting in, how Rex compares to Marv and the current team to the 90s version. Sounds like both Jim & Thurman are involved quite a bit - Thurman's first meeting with Rex turned into a film session on a QB they were looking at (but refused to name). Jim stressed the need for internal leadership, and of course a QB who could use all those weapons. Seemed like there were no tears shed when Marrone left. After that they arranged the assembled fans behind the 3 while they snapped pics. Jim seems to be doing very well - was very energetic and looks to have put back some of the weight he lost during treatment. It was a very cool way to spend a few hours. But wait, what kind of car do you drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyC81 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 That is awesome!! I loved those early 90's jerseys. As you can see from my namesake I really like obscure 90's Bills players. I was going to go with Eric Smedley if not Kirby Jackson. Smedley makes me think of the cartoon dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
