Yoho Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) The trivia questions topic started me thinking about Bills players that when they were on the roster would have a fact about them repeated every game by every commentator as if it were a brand new fact to Bills fans watching. The current example is that Nick O"Leary is Jack Nickalus grandson. Others include that Marvcus Patton's mother was a former professional football player and that Ray Bentley wrote children's books. Any others? Edited May 26, 2017 by Yoho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 George Wilson was a wide receiver who moved to safety a few years ago. Jason Peters was a tackle that was drafted as a tight end. Bryan Scott was a strong safety who moved to linebacker. It seems like when a player makes a significant position change, it gets mentioned often by the announcers.

Yoho Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Who is Troy O'Leary? Troy O'Leary was baseball player. Nick O'Leary is who I meant. I can quickly tell you the names and numbers of the 1964 starting defense but screw up the first name of a current tight end. It will happen to you all.

LI_Bills Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Wednesday/Thursday of this week I had the pleasure of accompanying my youngest on the 5th grade overnight trip to Gettysburg. On the way there he was pre-occupied and I bit my tongue. On the way back when we passed Kutztown he was similarly pre-occupied but I had to let him know about a certain hall of famer. Back in the day Reed/Kutztown comments were obligatory. Yesterday it was obligatory for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ennjay Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 A little off topic, but Al DeRogatis (anyone else remember him?) always called Al Bemiller "Albie Miller."

Fadingpain Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 It was mentioned up front, but the all time greatest example of this phenomenon is the Ray Bentley "Darby the Dinosaur" thing.

ChasBB Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) Thurman Thomas wrote "Super Bowl" on his cleats during training camp leading up to Buffalo's 1st Super Bowl appearance to help set the team's mindset and goals for the season. It worked! If any current Bill is so inclined to do something like this, please change to "Win Super Bowl". Edited May 27, 2017 by ChasBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
