MattM Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Very sorry to hear this--Bill's weekly "column" on the Bills game is de riguer reading for all Bills fans, win or lose. While I've never met your dad, from reading his posts over the years it's clear that he's a great guy and a big family man. My thoughts and prayers to him and all the rest of your family.

BADOLBILZ Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 10 things I think about Bill from NYC 1. Bill is a family first man. 2. Bill is proud to root for the only team that plays in NYS. 3. Bill is an integral member of this dysfunctional family. 4. Bill's 10 things he thinks are a must read during the season. 5. Roll Tide. 6. A box of rain will ease your pain, and love will see you through. 7. Bill thinks that the Bills need to go O-line early in the 2016 draft. 8. Bill knew that the Spiller pick was a mistake when it happened. 9. Bill may not be from Missouri, but, he's a "show me" kind of guy. 10. We are less until you are back posting. 11. Long before there ever was a TBD there was Bill from NYC calling into WGR to share his elation after games during the SB era in his distinctive-for-a-Bills fan NYC accent. Always looked forward to hearing his calls during the postgame celebrations. He's been an impact Bills fan for a long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Hi everyone, I am so sorry if this is not an appropriate thing to post. I am Bill From NYC's daughter, and I know he really likes posting here. He had a stroke and is in the hospital. Could you please pray for him? The Bills community is like family to him. Thank you! Amanda hello Amanda, My father had a stroke when I was 19-20 years old. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through in my life. Some of the smallest things like my dad giving me a thumbs up and me giving him a thumbs up back meant the world to both of us. It made me realize that he would be ok even though he couldn't speak. And it let him know that I would be there for him and be strong no matter what. Be there for your dad. Of course we will all pray for him. He's a great friend around here and there isn't anyone here that doesnt wish him the best. Please send my best to him. Tell him we will miss him around here for a while until he gets healthy and comes back. We look forward to seeing him post again soon. Be strong for him. That's what he would want.

QB Bills Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) For every person that passes along their well wishes, there are probably about 500 members who read your weekly review and don't post.Get well soon. Reading "a few thoughts..." is either the cherry on top of a bills win or a cathartic experience after a bills loss. Usually the latter, unfortunately.Best of luck to the only poster here who knows more about football than I do. btw, this should be pinned on the main wall properly, not linked....whats with this half-assed measure? if we can pin a tailgate post, we can pin this Edited October 17, 2015 by QB Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Gotham Bill, As an Alabama fan could you do me a favor? Could you encourage Nick Saban to lighten up and work on his dour personality. Did he go to the Doug Marrone school of charm? Also could you tell Nick Saban that those cupcakes he puts on his schedule hurt his team's ranking more than helps its ranking. Didn't I warn you about encouraging Tyrod Taylor to run more? You know that I am not the type to say I told you so; however, I told you so. I always look forward to your take on the games on Monday. It stimulates the best responses from an unruly cast of characters. I'm not into your music (Geez Bill you can do better--- the tie dye look has been outdated for more than a generation now!) but I'm willing to tolerate snippets of their lyrics in order to find out what you are thoughts are on the games. Take care. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
