Norwood Jersey for Old Dad?


Recommended Posts

My son wants to buy me a Bills jersey for my birthday (which I will debut in public at the Jets Thursday night game). It'll be my first visit to the Ralph since the first game there, preseason 1973.

 

My question is whose jersey to get? What I really want is 11 NORWOOD. Will I be the laughingstock of the Ralph if I wear it? Or start a riot?

My sister sent me a signed Scott Norwood helmet after meeting him this past fall at the appearance he did. It is proudly displayed in my office. As much as that miss sucks, Scott Norwood is awesome. I say go for it.

Not at all. he didn't lose that game, and it haunts him still. Go for it. You may be a laughingstock of you wore the most recent owner of #94 though.

Nice touch. Go for it, indeed. Norwood made a ton of kicks to win games that helped put our glory years team on the map. I met him down in VA about 15 years ago and he literally flinched when I told him I was from Buffalo, such was the weight of the bullschit he has had to put up with since SBXXV. I told him to consider Buffalo one, giant Niagara Square when they returned home after that superbowl. I suspect he is still touched by that affection.

 

GO BILLS!!!

This brings up an idea.... Bills should have a Scott Norwood jersey shirt game vs the Jets. Everyone in the stadium would be wearing the #11 Norwood jersey. Talk about huge national recognition for a first class town. Lift Scotty up, as many times as humanly possible.
