Peter Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 This is actually better than making the playoffs. Don't get me wrong, I am ecstatic that we are finally in the playoffs. Yet, the world does not come to an end if we do not make the playoffs . . . as we have learned over the past 17 years. This outpouring of generosity, however, is so meaningful to the lives of ordinary people. It also shows the whole world that Buffalo truly is the City of Good Neighbors. Our collective reaction to making the playoffs and donating to this foundation makes me so proud to be from Buffalo and a Bills fan. Well done everyone! 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone would be prepared with the “right” thing to say in this situation. He thanked Bills fans, but I don’t know how Cincy would feel if it outright said “GO BILLS!” It’s a good cause and if it gets us a single ounce of good Karma, and more importantly helps a kid in need, $17 well spent.

LOL In earlier posts, he went out of his way to mention Buffalo fans etc. I have the feeling he wants to make sure that he does not alienate Bengals fans and those that have been supporting the charity. That is understandable.

folz Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) This is what people outside of our fanbase don't truly understand about being a Bills fan, it's not just football to us. We love our football, no doubt, but It's not just a game or entertainment for us. Our lives and hearts are invested in this team. It's about family! It's our connection to home and the past! It's about perseverance and determination in the face of adversity! It's about hardwork and belief! It's about toughness! It's about still believing in honor, integrity, compassion, and generosity! It's about always supporting your own no matter what! And appreciating what you have, because we know it doesn't come easy. Moments like this (all of the excitement with the ending of the drought and now the donations to Andy's charity) and the snow game, or the crowd chanting and cheering for Scott Norwood after the Super Bowl XXV loss and then watching our guys pick themselves up over and over and over again to go to four straight Super Bowls are extremely rare. There is a bond developed in shared sorrow and in persevering through it together. So, our special moments may be fewer and farther between than many teams, but when they come, the experience and elation of them is far greater. Feelings that I'm not even sure can be matched by a Super Bowl victory because life isn't just about winning, it's about sharing the experience of life itself (the good and the bad) together. We do not just watch our team, we are One with the team, in the locker room, in the community, and on the field, through all of the ups and downs. We are all the Bills!

John in Jax Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I just found out on Reddit that the new anchor of the CBS Evening News.....Jeff Glor, who did the story tonight.....is from Buffalo. I guess he grew up in Tonawanda and went to Kenmore East. At the end of the broadcast tonight, he said, "Let's Go Buffalo." Looks like he's stepping into the shoes of Tim Russert! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
